In a statement to at conference on Warsaw Conference for Peace and Security in the Middle East host by the US State Department over two days, he said the militia is responsible for killing and inuring women, children and civilians in general in the ongoing war in Yemen.

He said the inclusive National Dialogue which Yemen was concluding when Houthis ignited this war in 2015 had for the first time given Yemeni women 30% of political representation seats.
