September, 21st of 2014. A date engraved in the memory of every Yemeni. On that day, the Houthis invaded the capital Sana’a. That day won’t be forgotten because it is the day which turned the Yemenis’ lives upside down and killed their dreams and hopes of creating a civilian state.
The Houthis didn’t just take power with the force of weapons, they worked on poisoning the minds of the people by forcing their extremist ideology on them, poisoning the minds of youth with a perverted ideology that is full of death, fanaticism and hatred, in addition to erasing the identity of Yemen by destroying and looting historical sites
This group of extremist zealots who are full of grudge and hatred towards this poor country and its people, destroyed the state’s institutions, broke social peace and planted huge numbers of landmines in the Yemeni lands to poison civilians’ lives and terrorize them.
Millions of Yemenis are hostages of these militias who want to hang on to power by using all their tools, cunning, viciousness and grudge. They want to change the facts on the ground so they can strengthen their influence, terror and wicked ideology that goes against the true faith and human basic instincts.
The Houthis were very resourceful in innovating killing tools to inflict pain and wounds on the faces and bodies of Yemenis.
But the Yemeni people will never forget the tragedies, crimes and absurd deeds committed by the wicked Houthis.
Landmines have always been the Houthis’ favorite weapons. This is why the criminal militias are still planting them in all the regions where they set their feet in, to target civilians and get their revenge against them. For these evil militias, Yemeni blood is merely a mean to an end.
Believing in the sanctity of life, freedom, peace and security, Masam’s teams are waging a decisive battle with resilience and determination, to defeat the death planters. Masam’s teams are making that through saving thousands of lives from the seeds of death that are planted all over the Yemeni lands which were watered with the bloods of Yemenis and landmine clearers who led an example in sacrifice, and paid with their lives to defend the right of Yemenis to live.
Masam was able since its launch until the 7th of August to clear 178541 landmines, unexploded ordnance and explosive devices; 904 of them were cleared during the first week of this month. Masam was also able to clear 12.694.128 square meters of Yemeni lands that were polluted by the criminal militias with landmines and explosives.
These kind of violations committed by the Houthi militias are not accidental. They are a systematic method, that has a historical background, because this method was also used by many other extremist groups that are strongly linked with the Houthi coup.
