| 2018-10-29 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemen’s information minister Muammar al-Eryani shared a video of a Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militiaman holding a mic and prompting primary school students in Yemen’s city of Ibb to repeat pro-Houthi and pro-Iran chants. On his official Twitter account on Saturday, Eryani said: "These are the morals that the Iranian Houthi militias want to ingrain in our children’s brains for generations to come in every morning lineup at schools to destroy the social fabric and obliterate the Yemeni identity by declaring power to the master of the cave, repeating the Iranian cry and changing education curriculums." He added that the Houthi militias are using children and students as human shields to protect their leaders from being targeted and to appeal to public opinion and the international community in a clear contravention of international laws and human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... that prohibit the use of children in war conditions and endangering their lives. |
