ALGIERS -SABA
Yemen's Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, Othman Mujalli said that the country, under the leadership of His Excellency President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi is currently fighting the battle of dignity, freedom, and democracy.
Speaking on Yemen's behalf in the 35th session of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers held in the State of Algeria on Wednesday, he said that the Yemeni government is facing not only one arch-foe but rather a group of enemies who have agreed to synchronize their attacks against Yemen and its people .
But he pointed out that Yemen with backing from the Arab Coalition is making progress in countering both Iran's backed Houthis and Al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
He said that this session of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers coincided with delicate circumstances many Arab states, including Yemen, have been enduring since the Houthi militia mounted a military takeover in September 2014 and unleashed a relentless war thereafter. He said the Houthis have seized the state facilities, unleashed a devastating war that that affected the soldiers, health workers, lawyers, engineers, and people of all walks of life.
He said that the militia did not even spare children; In their brutal offensives they killed children, recruited child fighters and used children as human shields. He said that they did not spare women either.
He said that the militia which plunged the country in this destruction was let off the hook by the UN Security Council and United Nations for none of them intervened to bring its acts to a halt.
