“Al-Houthi sedition was mysteriously born,” and people did not feel it until after it rose. At first, it raised slogans of innocence and tolerance, and declared that it was defending the oppressed rights, and that it was fighting unjust authority.
They refuted the accusation of receiving external support noting that it does not implement any foreign agenda to Yemeni society, as they are of Yemeni origin and cause. But the days uncovered their bloody face, which they concealed at the beginning of their emergence on the Yemeni arena, to gain sympathy and support of Yemenis and to be able to gain time so that it can extend its poisonous roots in dear Yemen.
This group took advantage of the circumstances, so it took advantage of the people’s revolution that tied for freedom and building a civil state, to attack power by force of arms and to ravage people’s dream and turn it into waste. It preferred its interest over the society interest, pushing the nation to abyss. They have reversed the power balance in Yemen by force to burglarize decision-making.
The Houthis danger on the Yemeni land is endless, including child recruitment and planting mines, which is a future trap, as the recruited child is difficult to turn into a tributary to development, as for mines, they represent a disaster that will persecute civilians for years due to their indiscriminate cultivation.
The Houthi’s coup against legitimacy in this country is based on the method of sabotage and destruction, as they leave nothing intact after the defeat. Over the past years, the Houthi militia have planted endless fields of mines specifically targeting civilians. It has resulted in the loss of civilian lives in different regions as well as disrupting livelihoods, such as depriving hundreds of agriculture, grazing and fishing.
This group has never engaged in a peace track, on the contrary, it has been racing to violate any agreement.
This insistence on prolonging the coup is due to the fact that the militias seek to preserve their interests by all means, which has inflicted population a very high cost.
For example, since the signing of the Sweden agreement in December 2018, militias have committed more than 16,000 violations to the terms of this agreement, which gives a clear picture of the criminality of these putschists and their continuous endeavor to shed innocent people’s blood while enjoying doing this. Mines have always played an effective role in these crimes, killing, destroying, and constricting civilians.
Mine accidents have increased during the past weeks and months, especially in the directorates of Khub Al Sha’af, Al Hazm, Al Ghayl, Al Masloub and Al Matoun. In addition to casualties, it deprived farmers of using agricultural land, as well as exposing dozens of vehicles and agricultural equipment to destruction, as large areas used by citizens to graze livestock were turned into death fields.
falling victims due to mines among dead, wounded and amputated became daily news. This brutal Houthi terror is faced by Project Masam with numerous efforts aimed at clearing lands of landmines and unexploded ordnance, training cadres capable of clearing mines, and setting up a mechanism that helps the population to have sustainable expertise to clear mines.
These damned boxes harmed the Yemenis and caused a deep wound that will not heal for years. Therefore, humanitarian hands seek to cleanse this wound, hoping to reduce its pain.
It was able to restore life to several areas, while others are completing the clearance operations, such as Team 10, Masam, who started work early August is currently working to completely secure Wadi Jarban in Shabwa governorate, after clearing 82 mines and explosive devices from grazing areas and water wells, which enabled a large number of citizens to return to their homes.
Clearing Yemen of mines needs years due to its density and the lack of maps indicating where it was buried, in addition to continuous cultivation by this terrorist group, which requires a firm stance towards these killers.
