Future of children in militia-controlled areas in great danger, minister says

ADEN-SABA
"The future of children in the coup militia-controlled areas is in great danger because of the militias' spoiling of the educational process," Minister of Social Affairs Ibtihaj al-Kamal said.

In a statement to Saba, al-Kamal warned of the "suspension of education" in many schools, because of the militias' failure to pay salaries to teachers, and their infusion of school textbooks with "a racist sectarian ideology."

"The coup militias have worked to destroy 1700 schools, deprive 2.5 million children of education and print 11,000 textbooks infused with a racist sectarian ideology exotic to the country," she said.

"The militia is working with all its force to establish racism and incur a fissure in the social fabric," she said appealing to human rights organizations to force the radical militia "to stop implicating children in their lost war" and to comply with the international laws concerning child rights.

Al-Kamal said the latest UN Report on Children and Armed Conflict was inaccurate and based in false information in its critical review of Yemen.

"The Government is adhering to all laws concerning children and earnestly caters to children through social care programs and sparing them military involvements," she said.

She said that "the militias are the biggest violator of child rights in Yemen for they have recruited 9000 underage children to carry arms and fight, depriving them from education."

She called on the international organizations to refer to the government for any information in this respect rather than rely on the militias' misleading information.

She pointed to the role of King Salman Center for Relief (KSrelief) in demobilizing and "rehabilitating children formerly recruited as militia fighters"to be integrated again into the society.
She called on the UN organizations to blacklist the militia as a violator of child rights.
