Minister of Defense (Lt Gen) Mohssen Adda'iri has made it clear that the Yemeni military is very keen to prevent children recruitment." Yemen's children are our sons we're very keen to protect them, prevent their recruiting", he said, adding that the Law of Service in the Yemeni armed forces prohibits recruiting anybody under 18 year-old.

His statement came during his discussions today, Wednesday, in the temporary capital Aden with a UN delegation headed by Virginia Gamba, the Special Representative of theUN Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict.

General Adda'airi blamed Iran-backed Houthi militias for recruiting children in its criminal war on the Yemenis.

Ms. Gamba said that she is looking forward for further coordination and cooperation to ensure more protection for children.
