The committee added in statement seen by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) saying" The militia is insisting on driving national economy into total collapse, exercising blackmailing on financial institutions under weapons intimidation to justify its actions, serves its own interests; employing national currency collapse to achieve gain politically by capitalizing on the peoples' suffering, blaming the government and Arab Coalition for the deteriorated humanitarian situation".

The committee called on the International Community (IC) and UN to sense their responsibility, get the militia refrain from exploiting the humanitarian crisis to gain politically.
