"The Yemeni government has paid significant attention to the human rights issues and keenly sought to integrate the human rights into key the political, economic, cultural and social development process in the country despite of the very tough circumstances Yemen has been enduring".
The Minister squarely blamed the Terrorist Houthi militias for prolonging the Yemeni conflict, worsening the humanitarian suffering the Yemeni people have been enduring for more than nine years.
