Hodeidah, Newsyemen, Exclusive:

The Houthi militia, continues to escalate its crimes against children, as it continues to follow up on the district leaders and Sheikhs to report on the level of achievement in the mobilization process for the fronts at the level of districts under their control in Hodeidah, western Yemen.

Earlier, the militias forced Iqal, the villages of Al Mahjar, and Zami to recruit children to throw them on the fighting fronts on the west coast.  

According to the sources, if the district leaders refuse to recruit children, the Houthi militia classifies them as weak of faith and introduces them into sectarian courses to declare loyalty to them.


Private sources confirmed to "Newsyemen", that there are a number of inmates of the orphanage on Zayed Street who have been prepared to send them to the fronts after receiving cultural courses, even though their ages are between thirteen and fifteen years.

On the other hand, sources told "Newsyemen", that the Houthi militia is digging a tunnel east of Hays in the Al-Hasab area. The tunnel is two meters wide, two meters deep, and a distance of about a kilometer, and it is covered with wood and planks, then it is pressed and covered with dirt.

This comes in clear and frank intransigence from it, refusing to abide by any of the terms of the armistice, in light of international failures.
