Mohammed Yaqub, Deputy Governor of Hajjah, expressed deep gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its steadfast support in Yemen, crediting King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the Saudi government for helping communities<\/a> reclaim their lives in liberated areas.<\/p>\n

Hajjah governorate, located in northwestern Yemen, has been one of the areas most heavily contaminated<\/a> by landmines and improvised explosive devices planted by Houthi militias. Roads, farms, and residential neighborhoods have been littered with hidden explosives, creating a deadly threat to civilians, livestock, and critical infrastructure. Despite repeated clearance efforts, vast areas remain hazardous, with mines found in homes, wells, and agricultural land.<\/p>\n

Yaqub said residents are able to live safely and rebuild thanks to Saudi Arabia\u2019s backing and the critical work of Project Masam, the humanitarian mine action initiative<\/a> clearing deadly explosives across the country. He described Project Masam\u2019s efforts as a \u201cqualitative contribution\u201d that has become a symbol of life and hope in regions once plagued by hidden death.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Governor drew a sharp contrast between those who \u201cplant death\u201d and those who \u201cplant life.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Houthi militias continue to bury mines and improvised explosives – camouflaged to sow fear and terror, he claimed – Project Masam restores security and provides tangible benefits such as safe land, access to water, education, and health services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a clear paradox,\u201d Yaqub said. \u201cPeople in the liberated areas, and across Yemen, are well aware of who brings fear and who brings hope. [Project] Masam frees our land from the death that was planted for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Project Masam’s demining teams continue their life-saving operations, the partnership between Saudi support and local resilience stands as a testament to the power of humanitarian action in the face of relentless threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
