Minister of Information Moa'mer Al-Irayani affirmed that Houthi militias work on ravaging Yemen's civilized and cultural heritage. They have embarked on systemically practices aimed to wipe away Yemen's identity, civilization and history.
The militias have adopted different methods including burgling antiquities, destroying libraries and historical landmarks and burning up old manuscripts and books.

He said:"Yemen that had been known as Arabia Flex was no longer happy. It had gone through one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. More than four million of Yemeni children couldn't go to schools this year, as the militias devoted the country's resources to fund their warfare".
"A leading figure of the militias authority even overtly suggested that schools ought to be closed and pupils dispatched to combat fronts", he added.
The minister of Information went on saying:" Saudi-led Arab Coalition intervention came in response to plea by President Abd-Rabbu M. Hadi to save Yemeni people and help legal government to deal with Iran-backed Houthi militias".
Al-Iryani made clear that Yemeni government and leadership headed by President Hadi have continued to seek for comprehensive and fair peace that is based on the GCC's-brokered deal, National Dialogue Conference's outcomes and International Security Council resolution 2216.
Chairman of Eben Sinna Institute for Studies—which organized the seminar—called for enforcing international treaties about protecting cultural heritage given that it is a property of the entire humankind and it must be everybody concern.
