00:02:38First, he changed the names of schools from of the family in most cases of the importance of education.
00:02:41Also, in rural areas, which represent more than
00:02:4470% of the population of the Republic of Yemen,
00:02:47school is usually up to middle school,
00:02:51up to ninth grade, for example, and then students do not have the opportunity to continue
00:02:55their education to high school and university, so they drop out, especially
00:02:58girls, meaning in light of the limited
00:03:01number of female teachers in rural areas

00:03:09Then the war came, and the roof collapsed, and the classroom

00:03:51side.
00:03:54With the expansion of the war, the road to school became
00:03:59the camp. The child dangerous, and the teacher found himself in front of a blackboard
00:04:01without a salary. Many families found
00:04:05themselves unable to pay the simplest costs
00:04:08of education. The child's backpack became a burden,
00:04:11and families began to make painful
00:04:15changing inside. decisions. We ask God
00:04:18and pay the house rent and pay for the house

00:04:24One day, we want to go out and get a certificate from
00:04:27the country to study. We ask God

00:04:35after that.
00:04:37in basic combat That is, we ask God to collect the house expenses,
00:04:45religious orientations. to their children, go to school normally, and walk on the house rent. The Houthi militia has been recruiting children since an early age, even before the six wars. First, it crippled public education in
00:04:49Saada from the beginning,
00:04:53the book. It left and Saada was on the lists of public
00:04:55education. It was the most
00:04:59governorate in terms of dropout
00:05:02in the Republic, dropout from public education,
00:05:05meaning that in Saada, young
00:05:08students do not go to schools after that in the six
00:05:11wars.
00:05:13The Houthi militia, there was a percentage
00:05:17of more than 30% of the fighters, at least,
00:05:20who were children under the age of 14, and even
00:05:2412. These are indoctrinated from a young age. Imagine,
00:05:28from the age of six or five, he learns this thought,
00:05:31he learns this Imamist thought, so he believes that he is striving
00:05:35in the way of God and that he will enter paradise by defending his
00:05:38master. These are the ones whom the Houthis indoctrinated in
00:05:41the early years of their appearance in Saada. He is the one who
00:05:45entered and stormed with them all the governorates after that in
00:05:482014, after the capital was handed over to the Houthi
00:05:52group, the educational system collapsed generally
00:05:56as part of the general collapse of the system
00:05:59of protection and promotion and protection of children's rights in the Republic of Yemen.
00:06:02So we found that children at this
00:06:08education in a very huge way. In addition to that,
00:06:11the militia became the ruler,
00:06:15derive its existence and continuity
00:06:19from the satisfaction of society or from the growth and prosperity
00:06:23of society, but rather derives its existence and continuity from
00:06:26the continuation of the state of conflict, the continuation of the state of killing
00:06:29and death, the continuation of economic deterioration, educational
00:06:33deterioration, from the increase in illiteracy rates
00:06:37and semi-literates. These are the
00:06:40yeast that feeds
00:06:43any armed militia, and at its head is the Houthi group, which
00:06:46is essentially based on intellectual and ideological principles
00:06:50that enslave the people and make them
00:06:54dependent on it, with no rights, but
00:06:57only to listen and obey. And this one who listens
00:07:00and obeys must not be
00:07:01educated.
00:07:08When the daily road to the classroom collapses, where does
00:07:11the child go? Is there another path for him other than
00:07:15war? And who picks him up when the school does not pick him up?
00:07:18With every
00:07:22the family does not lose its son alone,
00:07:26but Yemen loses a small chance of salvation.
00:07:29Some killed their parents
00:07:32because their parents were not with the Houthis.
00:07:35Some killed their brother with their uncle.
00:07:38That is, we hear news and we hear events that make one's hair
00:07:42gray in Houthi-controlled areas. How these children turned
00:07:46into young men who killed their fathers
00:07:48because of these hateful
00:07:52sectarian ideas. Because of these priestly ideas, what the father
00:07:55and mother and older children are exposed to
00:07:59is what the child is exposed to, but in a multiplied way. When the father dies,
00:08:02the child becomes an orphan. When the mother dies, the child
00:08:06becomes an orphan. And he can be orphaned
00:08:09and homeless when the house is destroyed or the
00:08:13school is bombed or the child drops out of school, he transforms
00:08:16and is picked up by the street
00:08:19and picked up
00:08:21by the Houthi militia, which recruits him and brainwashes
00:08:25the world, the Yemeni child suffers from it many times
00:08:30I believe that the destruction of more than
00:08:343,000 schools was not
00:08:36the biggest reason for the educational collapse in Yemen
00:08:40because children can be taken enrolled
00:08:43in schools for other reasons. But when
00:08:47there is the indoctrination of children's
00:08:50minds, the indoctrination of curricula, this
00:08:54is the serious problem because dropping out of school can be overcome. He can
00:09:10But the school did not die completely.
00:09:13Some schools did not close their doors. The classrooms
00:09:16remained, and the seats remained, and the
00:09:20bell rang.
00:09:24However, something else was
00:09:27What is said to the child, and what
00:09:31is erased from his memory, and what is planted
00:09:34in his consciousness. Here, it is no longer about
00:09:37a school that has only deteriorated, but about a school
00:09:40that has changed.
00:09:47That is, the first time I got pregnant with my eldest son, I used to say,
00:09:51let mothers give birth
00:09:54the line normally, and they have, and there is no good
00:09:58for them. I used to tell myself, what is this? These are not
00:10:01normal mothers to let them go. So what about them finally telling me,
00:10:05he went to the front? Children, especially at the beginning of
00:10:08puberty, at the age of 11 or 12,
00:10:12they are influenced through being told, "You are now
00:10:16a man, carry a weapon." They are encouraged in these
00:10:19ideas that they must go to the front.
00:10:23That is, children at this age
00:10:26aspire to be men. So the Houthi was able to take them,
00:10:29take the children and gather them to the
00:10:32fronts.
00:10:37Sometimes the disaster is not in the closing
00:10:40of the school, but in it remaining
00:10:43open through a curriculum that changes,
00:10:47and rituals that enter, and a slogan that competes
00:10:50with the lesson. This is how the school changed
00:10:53in areas under the control of the Houthi
00:10:56militia. The school textbook was no longer
00:10:59as it was. Interpretation was distorted,
00:11:03history was changed, and the revolution
00:11:06from the book alone, but from the memory of the new
00:11:09generation.
00:11:12It was not a change in a page, nor an amendment
00:11:15in a lesson. It was a long process of reshaping
00:11:19the child's memory. When a child reads history,
00:11:22he does not only learn the past. Rather,
00:11:25he learns who he is and who he belongs to, and who he trusts,
00:11:29and who he fears.
00:11:31In the textbooks for the early
00:11:36politics first, but through the deepest
00:11:39doors of influence. It comes from
00:11:42the first words with which the child learns the meaning
00:11:46of religion, and the meaning of obedience, and the meaning
00:11:48of followership. In the Quranic studies for the first
00:11:52grade, the child learns from a lesson
00:11:55related to Surah Al-Fatiha that prophets and guiding
00:11:58imams are at one level. And in the second grade,
00:12:02the concept of jihad in the way of
00:12:05God enters his early consciousness. Then in the third
00:12:10turns into a chant that students repeat and memorize
00:12:14by heart. And in the fourth grade, children
00:12:18learn that the two testimonies are faith
00:12:20in the Messenger of God and his family,
00:12:23one class after another. Not only the curriculum changes,
00:12:27but the first keys with which the child understands
00:12:31religion, history, the homeland,
00:12:34and others change.
00:12:37When any curriculum is usually prepared,
00:12:41the curriculum is
00:12:45developed according to the goals of the state
00:12:48or society. Therefore, it must
00:12:52be that our Yemeni
00:12:55society has goals called strategic goals
00:12:58for the state, which is to create a righteous
00:13:01Muslim
00:13:03citizen
00:13:06who possesses all the values and morals
00:13:10and good qualities that lead to him
00:13:14being a good citizen, productive, belonging
00:13:17to this homeland. So the curricula must be in this form.
00:13:21That is, first, the achievement of the strategic
00:13:25goals of the state and society. Second,
00:13:28it is in accordance
00:13:31with the academic stages, the primary stage, the
00:13:35preparatory stage, the secondary stage, and university. That is, when
00:13:38we talk about the curriculum, it starts
00:13:42kindergarten or pre-school education
00:13:45to education, which is
00:13:50is formal education, and it is also accompanied by
00:13:54non-formal education or open education. All
00:13:57of this must be consistent
00:14:01with the state's policy
00:14:04and the state's
00:14:07curriculum in general. The Houthi is now focusing on
00:14:10creating a special generation
00:14:13for it, a generation that believes
00:14:15in Wilayah, that believes that whoever is not on
00:14:19the path of Wilayah is an infidel, whose blood, money, and honor are permissible.
00:14:22This is present in their curricula, and Muhammad Abd al-Azim al-Houthi declares it,
00:14:26and the leaders of the Houthi group declare it. It is not hidden.
00:14:30In the past, when we talked about it, we were leaking or giving
00:14:33information that had not reached the public at least. Today,
00:14:36we are talking, and YouTube is buzzing, and social
00:14:40media is buzzing with their statements about Wilayah
00:14:43and what is entailed by belief or disbelief in Wilayah.
00:14:47And it wants to tame this generation
00:14:50to continue for many decades,
00:14:53and it believes that it will rule with this generation that it is building
00:14:57now. Therefore, they focused primarily, even
00:15:00to the extent that one of them was appointed Minister of Education,
00:15:03Yahya Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and he
00:15:06is greatly indoctrinated, meaning that this file is important
00:15:10to them. This generation must be destroyed
00:15:13and indoctrinated with these ideas so that it remains
00:15:16their fuel in the future for many decades. Today, the Houthi
00:15:20is sowing this idea anew, that there is, that the matter
00:15:23first and foremost belongs to the master, and that governance
00:15:27and Wilayah came to the House of the Prophet from the Lord of the Worlds, and that people
00:15:31must submit and obey them, and they must, because they will not enter
00:15:34Paradise at all except through Abdul-Malik al-Houthi
00:15:38and his supporters. What is happening in these
00:15:42curricula that the Houthi
00:15:45summer centers or in special courses for our children
00:15:49and in our children
00:15:52are all bad ideas, all
00:15:56Imamist ideas. It re-teaches the
00:15:59Imamist ideology, which believes that all obedience
00:16:03is to Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and they must listen and obey, and they must pay
00:16:07mountains.
00:16:13In areas under Houthi control, the curricula of the basic
00:16:17stage, from the first grade to the ninth
00:16:20grade, are rephrased around one narrative: a prophetic
00:16:23biography read from a dynastic perspective, and a Hadhawi
00:16:27jurisprudence, and an Islamic history centered around
00:16:31the Hashemite lineage.
00:16:33This is how meanings change in the child's mind. Controversial
00:16:38figures are presented
00:16:40as heroes, and rebellions are narrated
00:16:44as revolutions, and the vast history of Yemen
00:16:47is condensed into the moment of the arrival of Al-Hadi Al-Rassi
00:16:50and his lineage. And with time, the child does not read the history
00:16:53of his country as Yemenis lived it, with its diversity
00:16:55and vastness, but rather as the militia wants him
00:16:59to remember
00:17:02the lineage, passes through it, and ends
00:17:05with it.
00:17:09This is the matter. Why?
00:17:12Because many facts are obliterated,
00:17:16whether historical facts, social facts,
00:17:19or even
00:17:21political facts.
00:17:23And what
00:17:25is present, or the current trend
00:17:29of any party, is put in place. And this, of course, creates
00:17:32a distorted awareness in the citizen, whether
00:17:36a child or an adult. The distorted
00:17:41ultimately reflects negatively on everyone. The Houthi
00:17:44began changing the curricula from
00:17:47the first year he controlled or
00:17:50took over the state in Sana'a. Gradually, we used to
00:17:54study national education when we were children, and the state
00:17:58taught us national education. We read Al-Zubairi, and we read Ali Abdel-Mughni,
00:18:02and we read Al-Nu'man, and we read about all the martyrs
00:18:07travelers, even from the beginning of Yemeni civilization.
00:18:10And he has now abolished all of this.
00:18:16Yemeni names and even some names of companions to
00:18:19sectarian names. And he also teaches Hussein al-Houthi,
00:18:22the deceased or fallen Hussein al-Houthi, who has become the role model
00:18:25and the orbit around which
00:18:29the current education in Yemen revolves. That is, if it is correct
00:18:32to say, there was a sect, like private schools,
00:18:36trying to follow a parallel path and teach
00:18:39the existing curricula. But unfortunately, the Houthi besieges them from all
00:18:43sides. So unfortunately, he infiltrated and imposed parallel
00:18:46curricula and supervisors in every school, and it even reaches the point
00:18:50where there is a supervisor in every classroom, meaning he monitors the teaching
00:18:54of these Houthi curricula that distort the mind
00:18:57and distort identity and try to obliterate Yemeni identity. The Houthi
00:19:00militia focused from the first
00:19:04education and exploited education
00:19:08by changing the curriculum because it is an ideological
00:19:11idea, and therefore it wants to build society as
00:19:14it wishes, as it wants,
00:19:17and recruit all these generations for its benefit. Your son can
00:19:20be kidnapped from inside the school and taken to a summer
00:19:25the front. If he returns alive, he will return as your enemy, and if he returns dead, then
00:19:29it is the triumph of time and fate. So you are facing a serious problem that
00:19:33all fathers, mothers, and guardians are facing. They are the ones who are now adopting
00:19:39the immunization of their children from these
00:19:41extremist ideas. And we have seen in more than
00:19:44one school that the supervisor comes and says,
00:19:48"Death to America, death to Israel!" And the students unanimously respond,
00:19:52"With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for Yemen!" And for this reason, there must
00:19:55be awareness among everyone
00:19:57of the importance of developing
00:20:00curricula for this state,
00:20:03its history, its geography,
00:20:06its values, its morals. It must
00:20:09the curricula, and not only what we see
00:20:12or what aligns
00:20:15with our orientations, whether our political,
00:20:18historical, social, or even
00:20:23That is, in the end, God created
00:20:25human beings
00:20:27equal. The opponents of the Houthi militia, before
00:20:31preparing to confront it
00:20:33militarily, must confront these
00:20:36effects, and these results that it produced, and these
00:20:40actions that the Houthi militia carried out throughout
00:20:44the past periods with cultural weapons, intellectual weapons, awareness
00:20:47weapons to
00:20:50enormous tide
00:20:54that will remain for many decades
00:20:57until we get rid of it. Every
00:21:00the front. All this
00:21:03craziness. There's nothing. I just felt
00:21:07that it was a ready decision. After God, he just came
00:21:11to say goodbye to me. I tried in every way to tell him,
00:21:16I will implement my words." My words were
00:21:20a waste of time. That is, he had already
00:21:23decided. I don't know if he sent
00:21:26a message to his mother. I wish to see his face
00:21:30again. That is, I will
00:21:31stay up all night.
00:21:40Even subjects that are supposed to remain far from politics
00:21:46change. The rifle enters the child's image.
00:21:50And bullets and rockets become part of the language
00:21:53of the lesson. Here, the war does not remain
00:21:56outside the school, but becomes part of the child's
00:22:00daily imagination. The child learns arithmetic, but the images
00:22:04around him do not tell him that the world is apples
00:22:07and balloons. It tells him that the world is a rifle,
00:22:11an enemy, a battle, and death that can
00:22:14be called glory. And here lies
00:22:18change in one day. He changes
00:22:22slowly with a word that is repeated, and with an image
00:22:25that follows him, and with a slogan
00:22:28that he memorizes before he understands it, and with a story
00:22:30that divides the world in his eyes into two camps,
00:22:34and with a small lesson
00:22:37the outside to the inside of him. Which is
00:22:41more dangerous: changing curricula or closing schools? Of course, both are dangerous,
00:22:44whether closing schools or changing curricula. But I believe that changing
00:22:48curricula is much more dangerous than closing schools. Closing
00:22:51schools in itself is a catastrophic
00:22:54thing that deprives children
00:22:56and deprives children of one of their most important
00:23:00rights, which is education. But the closing
00:23:03of schools can be remedied. The consequences
00:23:06of closing schools can be remedied through many
00:23:10means. But the danger of changing curricula is considered a very
00:23:13great danger because it works to change the ideas
00:23:16among children. The issue that
00:23:20the Houthi is doing today, changing curricula and planting his racist,
00:23:23sectarian, Imamist, and priestly ideas in the curricula,
00:23:27is considered to produce an entire generation. I
00:23:31can briefly describe it as producing ticking time bombs.
00:23:34You are changing
00:23:37the educational curricula to produce
00:23:41extremist ideas, racist ideas,
00:23:45sectarian ideas, ideas that are hostile to nationalism,
00:23:48hostile to freedom,
00:23:50hostile to equality, hostile to justice, and push
00:23:53for loyalty to a specific person or a specific lineage
00:23:57or a specific doctrine or a specific sect. This is much more dangerous than
00:24:00closing schools. The indoctrination of the curriculum is very dangerous,
00:24:04and therefore the Houthi group realizes that it is carrying out a systematic,
00:24:08long-term work that will have an effect that will enable
00:24:12it to feed on these dropouts and uneducated or mentally
00:24:15distorted people. Therefore, it is now seeking
00:24:19to perpetuate its wars, to perpetuate
00:24:22its fighters, to perpetuate the state of conflict and strife,
00:24:26and therefore it resorted to indoctrinating
00:24:29beginning, when the Houthi movement
00:24:32appeared, it used to deceive children with
00:24:36chants and tribal poems.
00:24:38That is, it tries to deceive the youth and stir their emotions,
00:24:42those who start from 16 years old or even from ten years old to 12 years old,
00:24:45and so on. So the most dangerous, and
00:24:48by far, and not less dangerous, is changing curricula
00:24:52and changing intellectual structures within society.
00:24:55I started writing to all the fathers, father of so and so, father of so and so.
00:24:59"Oh, keep my son away. Oh, keep my son away." People used to tell me, "My
00:25:03daughter, take your son from us. We give the children pills
00:25:06from them, they are in them. That is, we give them pills so that
00:25:10they are not in their right minds, or do you mean facing the front with all this courage?"
00:25:14So I said, "I must start the war." I was aware that I was entering a war,
00:25:17entering a war. I contacted all of them. I didn't
00:25:20care anymore. They used to tell me, "Teacher, effort for the nation."
00:25:24And I say, "I am not willing to see another image
00:25:28or a disabled person or
00:25:31anything. This is my son, people." That is, they are
00:25:34our enemies, so we must take precautions
00:25:37against these enemies. The change
00:25:40did not stop at
00:25:43the classroom to the yard in the morning
00:25:46assembly, and in school events, and in activities.
00:25:50And I teach my colleagues handwriting and the arts of calligraphy and in the words
00:25:54that are spoken to children, the school
00:25:57began to take another form. This
00:26:00is our journey of making men. Its beginning
00:26:04was small centers. So military language
00:26:07began to infiltrate the school day,
00:26:10and the slogan began to compete with the lesson, and the lineup
00:26:14became wider than the morning assembly, and the front
00:26:17was no longer as far as it seemed, for before the
00:26:20child reached it, it had already reached him. Today,
00:26:24after ten years of war, I believe if a child,
00:26:28meaning seven years old, joined, meaning he was taught these
00:26:32ideas and these ideas were planted in him from the age of
00:26:35seven, today he is
00:26:39the front fighting fiercely. He thinks that what he is doing
00:26:43is right. He thinks that what he is doing is the religion that Muhammad,
00:26:46peace be upon him, brought. Because of these militias,
00:26:50all religious ideas
00:26:53within the curricula were changed. All principles
00:26:57and values were changed, whether
00:27:00Islamic principles and values or the principles and values on which the Republic of Yemen was founded
00:27:03in the minds of these children. Today, these children constitute an army for
00:27:07the Houthi. Among these subjects that are
00:27:10presented to students are Quranic
00:27:13Culture, Conflict
00:27:16Studies, Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence),
00:27:20and Tajwid (Quranic Recitation). Then came
00:27:23the summer centers, and they turned into something like
00:27:26a third semester, a semester that is closer
00:27:31does not suffice with what was said to the child in the book, but
00:27:34pushes him one step further, and the child
00:27:39is a child who does not ask many questions and
00:27:42sees the world only through the hole of battle, and does not grow
00:27:46towards the future, but towards the trench.
00:27:49And when the child's consciousness changes, kidnapping him from his future
00:27:52becomes easier.
00:27:54Summer centers are the tool
00:27:56for the
00:27:58indoctrination that the Houthi militia carries out. And these centers
00:28:03were not limited to a specific category. Rather,
00:28:07the Houthi militia came
00:28:08with its
00:28:12sectarian, racist ideology and imposed it on the entire
00:28:19unemployed, housewives. All
00:28:23segments of society are forced
00:28:26to deal with
00:28:28and
00:28:30accept this curriculum that it presents, even though they are old
00:28:34ideas, ideas that do not belong to the era, nor
00:28:37to religion, nor
00:28:39belong to logic, nor to knowledge at all. And despite
00:28:43that, Yemenis are forced to accept these ideas.
00:28:46The summer centers have almost taken
00:28:50a long time, months,
00:28:53and the Houthi is working desperately on them.
00:28:56He spends a lot on these summer centers
00:29:00because he is working to change
00:29:04and he is building an entire
00:29:07of children. This army is working to change their ideas so that
00:29:11they only have that Abdul-Malik al-Houthi is number
00:29:14one. We do not listen to anyone, we do not follow anyone's orders, even if
00:29:18they are our parents. We only follow the words of Abdul-Malik
00:29:22al-Houthi, and we will not enter Paradise except through him and his
00:29:24supporters.
00:29:32God
00:29:36In the summer of 2024,
00:29:38the Houthi militia opened about 700 summer
00:29:41centers. But the more dangerous question
00:29:45is not how many children entered these centers, but how many
00:29:49children will leave them closer to the trench
00:29:52and further from the school. Our master, our leader,
00:29:55and our protector, Sayyed Commander Abdul-Malik Badr
00:29:58al-Din al-Houthi, in
00:30:01is trained to fight only. He is trained to
00:30:04fight. leaving his childhood,
00:30:08meaning he sees the world through the barrel of a rifle,
00:30:12meaning he deals with fear as if it were courage.
00:30:15We will present the first, second and third, and with death
00:30:18as if it were an
00:30:20ordinary
00:30:23path. Of course, camps were set up
00:30:26even for children in many governorates, about 20
00:30:30camps were
00:30:34used to train these
00:30:36young children
00:30:40and so on, then these children are pushed
00:30:43to go into the first lines of battles.
00:30:47After four months, they told me, "We'll bring him for four days."
00:30:51I told them, "Okay, I promise I won't stop him." Indeed, I was with a boy.
