The Houthi militias are used to harming humans, animals and lands in Yemen. These militias are so eager to spill blood and destroy every beautiful thing through sabotage and planting landmines that turned Yemen into the country the most planted with the deadly explosives in the world.
In this context, a human rights report published by the Civilian Authority for the Victims of Demolished Houses unveiled that the Houthi militias demolished 810 civilian houses.
The houses were distributed over 17 Yemeni provinces, from the 1st of September 2014 until the 30th of June 2020.
The report noted also that Taiz province led the list of provinces regarding the number of demolished civilian houses with 149, then Al Bayda province with 124, as for Ibb province it came third with 120.
The demolition crimes were distributed respectively over the provinces of Hajjah, Lahaj, Dhamar, Sanaa, Ad Dali, Marib, Al Jawf, Amran, Shabwah, Al Hudaydah, Abyan and Sa’dah.
The report considered the demolition of civlian houses as a crime against humanity that is banned by all religions and local and international laws, and that what comes with these operations such as stealing and seizing of civilians’ properties and farms leaves traumas and causes a forced displacement of families who lose the sense of security and their source of income.
The Authority called, in the end of the report, the legitimate government to provide shelter to the families whom the houses were demolished, and secure aid and relief for them, calling at the same time the local and international organizations and the media to play their humanitarian role to let the international community listen to the voices of the afflicted people, and to show the true ugly nature of the militias and expose them to the world.
For her part, Khadija Ali, the Executive Director of the Civilian Authority for the Victims of Demolished Houses, said during the publicity ceremony for the first report of the Authority which was held lately in Marib, that the Houthi militias continue their method of demolishing houses, and that the latest happened last week as the militias demolished two houses in Al Zawab village in Al Qurayshia, Al Bayda, and also the demolition of a number of houses in Addiq valley, in the west of Sarwah, Marib.
In the end of the ceremony, which hosted many human rights activists, a presentation was made about two cases afflicted by the demolition crimes committed by the Houthi militias.
Landmines and explosive devices are used by the Houthis to target civilians, and they use them also to demolish their houses, in a bloody destructive strategy pursued by these blood thirsty militias that lack empathy towards their own people.
