Yemen's internationally-recognized government has demanded that the United Nations Security Council designate the rebel Houthi-Saleh militias as terrorist groups, and immediately enforce its resolutions on Yemen and Resolution 2216 in particular.
About 37,888 Yemeni citizens have been killed and injured by the rebel Houthi-Saleh militias in their war against the state. Of these 649 women, 1,002 children and 9,160 men were killed, and some 27,077 people were injured by the rebels, Yemen's Deputy Minister of Human Rights Dr. Mohammed Askar told a conference held Saturday to discuss the current situation, developments and the future of peace in Yemen.
He added "Among those injured are 3,875 women, 3,334 children and 19,868 men," the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Moreover, the Houthi-Saleh rebel militias destroyed the country's infrastructure and converted schools and hospitals into military installations and training centres. "The Houthi-Saleh militias destroyed 29,422 buildings and public properties including 3,557 schools, hospitals, water systems, power grids and telecommunications networks. They blew up 25,865 homes, shops, vehicles, farms and factories."
"The rebel militias also kidnapped and detained 16,804 rights activists, journalists and academicians. Of these 13,938 people were victims of arbitrary arrests." The rebels also recruited children, minors and women to further fuel their aggression on legitimacy in Yemen, he stressed.
The Paris conference brought together Arab and non-Arab ambassadors, experts and representatives of the civil society and the media.
