The love of life is an instinct that explains why humans act and behave to guarantee the survival of the human race and protection from death. The Houthi militias, considering that they are humans, are not an exception, but their thirst for power and control turned this human instinct into a monstrous, destructive and ugly instinct. This is why they destroy everything that stands in their way or threatens their ambition.
The greed of these militias and their clinging to power led them to harm Yemenis physically and morally, in addition to the systematic destruction of public and private institutions by using their most dangerous weapon: the landmines.
The Houthis planted this epidemic extensively in all the regions where they set their feet, and they concentrated them in residential areas, schools, roads and farms, thus turning many vast regions in Yemen into high impact areas.
This vast deployment of landmines killed and maimed thousands of Yemeni civilians, watered their lands with their pure blood which was spilled by an organization that believes only in power and care only about its interests and the interests of its ally and supporter.
Yemenis’ losses became very heavy, and they can’t bear more tragedies that are made by the landmines on a daily basis, because the Houthis planted them at random and without maps, making them very hard to be detected or cleared.
In their efforts to clear Yemen from the landmines, the experts of Masam paid field visits to the teams working in the western coast’s directorates in order to oversee their achievements and the difficulties they face to carry on their humanitarian mission to protect civilians from the danger of landmines.
Project Masam aims to clear Yemen from the landmines, confront the direct threats against the Yemeni people, strengthen security and help Yemenis by alleviating their pains. This is why Masam’s teams were trained and qualified by Masam’s experts and were provided with the most advanced devices to deal with landmines.
Masam’s staff have paid a heavy price with their souls and bodies to fulfill their humanitarian duty; they lost 21 martyrs and 16 wounded, some of them became permanently handicapped.
The teams were able to clear and demolish more than 179 thousand landmines, unexploded ordnance and explosive devices and to clear more than 12 million square meters.
This coup will meet its end one day, and this ordeal will be over as long as there are those who support the right of Yemenis to live peacefully and in security, this is why Yemenis feel that the day of victory over the Houthis is not far away.
