Thursday, January 16, 2020, the Association of University Delegates inaugurated its sit-ins and protest activities in the state of Malaysia and in front of the Yemeni embassy, after the students' situation was narrowed due to the delay in their entitlements.
The head of the association, Hussam Al-Dais, told NewsYemen that they tried to send messages to the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and the Minister of Finance to no avail.
He added that the actions taken by the Ministry of Higher Education towards its students abroad have become commonplace, flawed and inappropriate.
He stressed: Today we are launching our protest activities under the title "Student Al-Nafeer" in front of the Yemeni Embassy building in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Dozens of students from all over the Malaysian states, accompanied by their children and their families, flocked to the embassy building, Thursday morning, to the mass sit-in, demanding accountability and dismissal of the Ministry's administrative staff, in addition to demanding the immediate disbursement of the late financial dues for the third and fourth quarters of the past year.
At the same time, the students expressed their disappointment and frustration as a result of the continuation of this comic series, and the suffering has gradually worsened for more than 4 years.
This comes as stated by the members of the Association, with no serious indications or real desire from the leadership of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to find radical treatments to end the chapters of this crisis with human dimensions, especially after more than half a year has passed since the last process during which paying financial dues, which was for the second quarter of the past year 2019.
It is noteworthy that hundreds of Yemeni delegates abroad are still suffering from extremely harsh living conditions, and degrading economic conditions that forced many of them to stop pursuing education in search of providing a livelihood, not to mention that many of them were expelled from their homes by the owners, and suspend their children from schools in light of the interruption of the quarterly financial aid guaranteed to them under the laws of delegation for periods of up to more than half a year, and the continued official ignorance of the government regarding this issue that has been going on for years.
