Homeland is that small place in which a person is born, grows up, where the fragrance and beauty of life is imbibed, inhales his first puffs of oxygen, and takes with his feet the first steps between his family, relatives and neighbors to draw up a beautiful dream that he will strive to achieve in the future. But all this turned into a painful nightmare with a coup that destroyed all dreams, folded them and opened a new page full of pain and suffering.
The horror of suffering, deprivation and hunger haunts the Yemenis, which makes their eyeballs spontaneously shed tears only stopped during their sleep, which in turn enters them into a nightmare in which they remember the tape of the tragedy they endure daily.
The Houthis appeared on the Yemeni arena without carrying in their case a project that would serve the country and people, only their emergence was accompanied by sabotage and destruction as they left nothing intact. These militias just want to wreak havoc and spread chaos. They thought the use of mines as the most effective means to carry out this sabotage mission, so they were keen to plant these explosives wherever they traveled or departed in a crazy and random manner, which left countless tragic stories which makes the mines a major problem threatening the lives and future of Yemenis as there will be no safe life in the presence of so many cans of death scattered in all areas.
This group has deliberately planted its mines on roads, farms, homes and everything related to the lives of civilians in their homes and livelihoods, in addition to the spread of this scourge in the sea, which represents a threat to navigation and commercial ships.
However, the first victims of mines remain the civilians, where those demons tampered with their bodies and turned them into scattered pieces, in addition to losing many of them to their limbs.
The Houthis decided to punish the Yemenis for their ostracism and hate for their presence, which was accompanied by devastation through mines that killed, destroyed, flattened many buildings on the ground and spread death throughout Yemen. This epidemic will leave generations of deformed people, the consequences of which do not stop at the victims families, but extend beyond them to society as a whole, as those victims will become more dependent on assistance and isolated. Not to mention making it impossible to cultivate and harvest the fields, which caused heavy and direct material damage to the people.
In order to mitigate the human damage and protect the Yemeni human right to live, Masam teams are engaged in a complex task in removing these deadly thorns distributed generously and in an intelligent manner on several regions in Yemen, some of which are in the form of rocks and others in the form of sand blocks to match with the nature where they are planted in order to be able to capture its prey readily.
But seeing the happiness painted on the faces of the returnees to their homes and the children’s smile emanating from their eyes and re-establishing life in the many areas where there were only silence and death, formed a strong motivation for Masam teams to continue their work and intensify their efforts to pass through Yemen to the shore of safety despite the difficulties, obstacles, and risks surrounding this task.
Project Masam works in Yemen with 32 engineering teams distributed in 8 liberated Yemeni governorates, starting from Al-Yatma in Al-Jawf Governorate and ending in Al-Durayhimi District in Al-Hodeidah Governorate.
Team 30 Masam, missile collection team carried out a process of destroying and detonating 1303 mines, unexploded ordnance, and an explosive device in Bab Al-Mandab district of the West Coast so that it would not be used by any party in the future.
Since the start of its work, Project Masam has managed to remove 191054 mines, explosive devices and unexploded ordnance, and it is still continuing to fulfill its humanitarian mission. However, this tremendous effort awaits international support to accelerate the process of saving Yemen from the criminality of the Houthi group and their allies.
