GENEVA-SABA
A Yemeni activist with the Humanitarian Coalition for Monitoring Human Rights Violation (YCMHRV) has called on the UN Human Rights Council and the UN office to take serious measures to stop the war Yemen by forcing the implementation of the three basic references of peace; the GCC Initiative, the UNSC resolutions mainly resolution no. 2216 and the outcomes of the National Dialogue Conference.

In a presentation at a seminar held on the sideline of the UNHRC's 37th session in Geneva on Thursday, Basem al-Haj said "The phenomenon of terrorism has evolved in an unprecedented way in Yemen." " It has evolved from a group terrorism to a state terrorism," he elaborated, pointing to the former deep state of Ali Abdullah Saleh and Houthis that mounted a coup and unleashed an unprecedented violence to prevent Yemen's transformation to a democratic state.

"The Houthi militia's coup of September 2014 derailed the conciliatory political process and the militia practiced the most brutal forms of material and morale terrorism to hijack the state and rule the roost," he said.

He said that thousands of Yemenis have been killed, injured or displaced, and are victims of this belligerent group.
