Since the coup, the Houthi militia has not laid the foundation for a single development project, has not opened a school or a university, and has not built or rebuilt a road. All it has accomplished is expanding grave areas in cities and villages to accommodate the victims of its brutal aggression against Yemen.
Since the Houthi invasion of Sanaa, these militias have transformed Yemeni cities into a spacious prison whose residents groan from brutality, physical and psychological torture to death.
It does not refrain from shedding Yemenis blood by indiscriminately bombing residential neighborhoods with ballistic missiles, planting mines and improvised explosive devices, in addition to plunging tens of thousands of innocent people into its coup incinerators as sacrifices for its whims and sabotage scheme.
This rebel group has undermined what the Yemenis have achieved over years in terms of development projects, infrastructure, and basic services such as education and health, pushing the Yemenis back decades, as the Houthi militia planting mines is no longer aiming to hinder the National Army from advancing or controlling the areas from which it flees, but for revenge, killing and terrorizing citizens.
Which explains why they deliberately planted these killer cans in fields, farms, roads, pastures, valleys, residential buildings, and even in ports.
Military experts estimate the number of mines planted by this group to be two million, at a time when the coup elements do not stop dumping mines every day and booby-trapping plains, plateaus and every inch they passed from, to kill innocent human lives and endanger their property.
The Houthi group has taken control of Yemeni regions by force of arms and considered this an investment opportunity because it did not take public interest into account, so it worked to prolong the period of its coup.
Over the past years, this group has revoked 70 agreements they signed with Yemeni parties and did not fulfill their pledges, because peace does not bring them any benefit, interest, influence or power.
This made them indignant and adept at planting its poisonous hatred seeds, in addition to anti-personnel landmines, Houthi forces buried anti-vehicle mines in civilian areas and modified anti-vehicle mines to explode from just person’s weight, in addition to improvised explosive devices camouflaged in forms of rocks or tree trunks.
These criminal acts amount to war crimes, according to international law, but this group does not care and still devising more hideous ways to kill life in Yemen.
This matter was confirmed by Team 25, Masam, when they discovered a number of mines inside a house in Al-Hadba area of Mawza’a Directorate, knowing that this house was going to witness a wedding party in the coming days, therefore, Masam was able to save hundreds of lives from inevitable destruction. This incident demonstrates this group’s thirst for blood and its insistence on inflicting harm on civilians by concealing death in their own homes.
In a related context, Masam engineering teams were able to clear 1,385 mines, unexploded ordnance and explosive devices during the fourth week of November, bringing the total of what was cleared from last October 31st to November 27th, to 6,114.
These efforts, which led to dismantling and neutralization of mines and the removal of the threat they pose to citizens lives, preserved the continuity of hope among Yemenis and aborted the intention of these rebels to grave life.
The Houthi militia deliberately planted mines inside civilian homes to gain the largest possible number of victims to silence their vanity and raise their morale that has been shaken by their successive defeats. But Masam experience stand as a stumbling block in front of their terrorist plot.
