00:01:47the security institutions in previous governments until
00:01:50he assumed the presidency of the Political Security Apparatus, then the Ministry
00:01:53of Interior, sparked a wide debate about
00:01:56the transfer of a high-ranking security official from the Republican institution to
00:02:00working within the system of the Houthi group
00:02:04that overthrew state institutions in Sana'a.

00:04:34of victims, far from impunity.
00:04:53The Yemeni Women's Empowerment Foundation recently revealed in
00:04:57its final monthly briefing the documentation
00:05:03of crimes and violations during
00:05:05and plants fear in last September, including killing, injury, defamation, kidnapping, enforced
00:05:08disappearance, displacement, child recruitment, and looting of property.
00:05:14and targeting health facilities and humanitarian work.
00:05:17The toll showed that at least 50
00:05:20people were killed and more than 160 others injured,
00:05:24including 17 children killed, 20 children injured,
00:05:28five women killed, and seven women
00:05:31injured. The foundation explained that these
00:05:35figures represent a minimum of civilian
00:05:38victims who could be identified
00:05:41numerically. This includes losses within the Houthi
00:05:44militia ranks or incidents in which the number of victims
00:05:48was unspecified. Regarding child
00:05:51recruitment, the foundation
00:05:55stated that it documented the killing of
00:05:5872 children who were fighting in the ranks
00:06:02of the Houthi militia during the same period,
00:06:05in addition to 25 other children being captured
00:06:08by the army and government forces. The foundation
00:06:11confirmed that these cases
00:06:15combat operations and their direct exposure
00:06:19to death and capture, in addition to other incidents including the abduction
00:06:23of dozens of orphaned children from care homes and the recruitment
00:06:27of students and minors to join
00:06:29the front lines. In the file of kidnapping, detention,
00:06:33and enforced disappearance, the foundation documented
00:06:35widespread campaigns, most notably the kidnapping
00:06:39of 322 civilians in Maqbanah
00:06:42and Jabal Habashi in Taiz governorate, and nine
00:06:47September 26, which marks
00:06:50the 64th anniversary of the revolution, and more than 40 civilians
00:06:56September 28,
00:06:59in addition to 30 civilians in Dhamar and four
00:07:02children in Hajjah, in addition to individual cases
00:07:06and dozens of detainees and forcibly disappeared persons in prisons
00:07:10and detention centers.
00:07:12with improvised explosive devices, in addition to looting more than 10
00:07:15homes specifically and dozens of other
00:07:18raids and looting that included
00:07:21seizing furniture, appliances,
00:07:23and belongings.
00:07:25In some cases, doors and windows were removed, as
00:07:29well as incidents of confiscation of land,
00:07:32farms, and commercial properties. The briefing also showed
00:07:35that the health sector was subjected to widespread
00:07:39violations, including damage or disruption of 30 health
00:07:42facilities, shelling of the medical complex in Mokha,
00:07:45militarization of hospitals and medical centers,
00:07:48expulsion of civilian patients to clear
00:07:51beds or to clear beds,
00:07:54confiscation of doctors' and nurses'
00:07:57phones, imposing security restrictions on facilities,
00:08:00and threatening medical staff. The violations
00:08:03extended to humanitarian work, where
00:08:06the foundation documented the storming and looting of headquarters
00:08:09and offices of international and humanitarian organizations,
00:08:13the seizure of a complex for organizations, and the confiscation
00:08:16of eight international vehicles, and the looting and confiscation
00:08:19of aid, food baskets, and relief and shelter
00:08:23materials. Meanwhile, approximately 18,000
00:08:27families were affected by the disruption of humanitarian
00:08:30health services in one of the documented
00:08:33incidents.
00:08:49Houthi militia is not content with expanding the scope
00:08:52of violations, but rather seeks to tighten its grip on
00:08:56strategically important locations to push the
00:08:59place and its people into the heart of its military project. In
00:09:02the far south of the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab stands
00:09:05as a witness to one of the most dangerous forms of this expansion.
00:09:09A strait whose importance transcends
00:09:12the country's borders,
00:09:16the cost of ambitions that do not stop at controlling the land,
00:09:19but extend to threatening navigation security and turning the
00:09:22coast into a new
00:09:26report prepared by our colleague Bushra Al-Abri, we monitor
00:09:30the importance of Bab al-Mandab and the ambitions of the Houthi militia in it, and the consequences
00:09:34of its movements and escalation
00:09:37المدنيين
00:09:38Let's follow.
00:09:53Bab al-Mandab is not just a waterway
00:09:56that separates two banks, nor a point on a crowded
00:10:00map with names. This
00:10:03strategic location within the Dhubab district, which belongs to Taiz
00:10:07governorate, located at the southern entrance of the Red
00:10:10Sea, where it narrows.
00:10:17From this strait, trade and energy routes pass between Asia and Europe,
00:10:19and the Red Sea connects to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian
00:10:22Ocean, which makes the position
00:10:25of the Yemeni coast and the nearby islands
00:10:28an issue that transcends Yemen's
00:10:32borders. This is why the Houthi militia's
00:10:35push towards the western coast and Bab al-Mandab seems more
00:10:39than a movement between Asia and Europe.
00:10:42The Red Sea connects to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian
00:10:45Ocean, which makes the location of the Yemeni coast and the nearby
00:10:49islands
00:10:51place an issue that transcends Yemen's borders.
00:10:56This is why the Houthi militia's push towards the western
00:10:59coast and Bab al-Mandab is more than a movement,
00:11:02it is a movement that extends outside
00:11:06the country towards Djibouti. The humanitarian
00:11:09situation appears even more harsh beyond the displacement
00:11:13figures, as more than 22 million citizens are in
00:11:16need of assistance and protection, and 18 million face severe
00:11:22food insecurity, while more than 2
00:11:25million children under the age of five suffer
00:11:28from acute malnutrition. In areas controlled by the Houthi
00:11:32militia, the United Nations says that the detention
00:11:35of its employees and the seizure of its headquarters
00:11:39and assets have severely restricted
00:11:44to reach those in need.
00:11:4673 UN employees are still
00:11:50arbitrarily detained. Thus, Bab
00:11:53al-Mandab becomes a condensed image of the Yemeni crisis:
00:11:57a strait that concerns the world, and a coast
00:12:00for which Yemenis pay the price of conflict.
00:12:04Between the security of the international
00:12:07to safety, the truth is one:
00:12:10the sea cannot become a hostage to an armed
00:12:13rebel militia, nor can Yemenis
00:12:17be reduced to mere numbers in the record of displacement
00:12:21and hunger. Rather, security and stability must
00:12:25return through legitimate state institutions
00:12:28alone. That is the solution.
00:12:43The Houthi militia was not content with planting death in the front
00:12:46lines, but its mines extended to farms,
00:12:50villages, roads, pastures, and water sources,
00:12:52transforming the land
00:12:55where citizens used to grow their food and graze
00:12:59their livestock into open
00:13:03not distinguish between fighter and civilian, nor between
00:13:06man, woman, and child. UN
00:13:09reports indicate that the locations of mines
00:13:12attributed to the Houthis included farms, wells,
00:13:16water tanks, roads, and civilian
00:13:19facilities, which led to restricting agriculture
00:13:22and livestock movement and depriving the population of safe
00:13:26access to water sources
00:13:29and transportation routes. The effects of this crime are not
00:13:32limited to killing and injury, as the mining of agricultural
00:13:37of access to their fields, disrupts
00:13:40plowing, harvesting, and grazing, and kills livestock, which
00:13:43represents an important source of food
00:13:46and income, and forces families to leave
00:13:49their lands or risk their lives to reach
00:13:53them. Human rights reports have documented
00:13:56cases of livestock deaths and injuries to farmers
00:14:00and shepherds due to mines, as well
00:14:03as the inability to access agricultural lands and water
00:14:07sources. These practices
00:14:09derive their danger from the fact that agricultural areas, crops,
00:14:13livestock, water sources,
00:14:16and irrigation facilities are among the things that enjoy
00:14:19special protection when they are necessary for the survival
00:14:23of the civilian population. As international
00:14:26humanitarian law prohibits agricultural lands
00:14:29and water sources, and these
00:14:33practices derive their danger from the fact that agricultural
00:14:36areas, crops, livestock, water sources,
00:14:39and irrigation facilities are among the things that enjoy
00:14:42special protection when they are necessary for the survival
00:14:46of the civilian population. As international
00:14:50humanitarian law prohibits and the resulting
00:14:53killing and injury of civilians and depriving them
00:14:57of their and depriving them of their lands and their main
00:15:01and often sole livelihoods constitutes a serious
00:15:05violation of the rules of international humanitarian law and may
00:15:08constitute a war crime when its legal
00:15:11elements are met. Individual responsibility remains
00:15:14for those who ordered these acts, carried them out, or
00:15:18assisted in them, according to the applicable
00:15:21legal rules. They are not just mines
00:15:25buried under the ground. It is a policy
00:15:27that leaves death behind
00:15:30the land and blocks the path of the farmer to
00:15:33his field, and the shepherd to his pasture, and the family
00:15:37to its livelihood, so that the crime turns from
00:15:40targeting a person at a moment to targeting
00:15:43his life and his primary source of income and his future for years.
00:16:03Media outlets and social
00:16:06media platforms have circulated shocking scenes
00:16:10and images in recent days of victims of the continuous Houthi
00:16:13escalation in Taiz governorate, while a human rights report revealed
00:16:17the extent of the cost paid by civilians due to Houthi
00:16:20shelling and sniping. According to the Taiz
00:16:23Human Rights Center, the recent Houthi escalation in
00:16:27a number of areas of the governorate resulted in the killing and injury
00:16:30of 26 civilians, including an infant less
00:16:33than two weeks old, in problems
00:16:38that summarize the extent of the danger threatening the population, especially
00:16:41children and women. Among the victims whose image
00:16:45and body were widely circulated was the infant Mohammed Mayhoub
00:16:5014 days of life
00:16:53before dying from shrapnel that hit his head
00:16:57in the Al-Dabab area, while another child
00:17:02the same shelling. The center also documented the killing of Amani
00:17:06Yassin Ahmed and Jawath. Abdullah Nu'man and Ayoub Abdul Raqib and Hammoud Abdullah
00:17:10Saif Al-Rajhi, in addition to other injured
00:17:13people, including children and women. In
00:17:17the escalation, a house in Sala
00:17:21neighborhood east of Taiz city was subjected to Houthi shelling
00:17:24that resulted in the killing of Yousef Abdul
00:17:28Warith Karami, 15 years old, and the injury of citizen
00:17:31Awatef Abdullah with shrapnel, documenting images of the shelling's
00:17:35effects inside a civilian house, where its walls turned
00:17:39into a witness to the tragedy of a family that lost
00:17:42its child, and the shells did not stop
00:17:45at homes and residential neighborhoods.
00:17:48In the city of Turbah in Al-Asabeh area,
00:17:52the Information and Qualification Center for Human Rights stated
00:17:55that Houthi shelling hit the Maternity and Childhood Hospital
00:17:59building, causing material damage in an attack
00:18:02on a health facility dedicated to serving mothers and children.
00:18:06From an infant less than two weeks old to other
00:18:09children killed inside their homes, and from residential neighborhoods
00:18:13to health facilities, Taiz's
00:18:16scenes continue, so that the lens remains a witness
00:18:19to the victims of the brutal Houthi escalation
00:18:23and to civilians who found themselves in the line of shelling and sniping.
00:18:42Viewers, as we turn the pages of this
