Aal Masood villages experience violations & crimes against humanity. StatementEradah Organization to Combat Torture and Forced

Disappearance condemns in the strongest terms Houthis’ ethnic cleansing crimes in Al Bayda province, the last ones the compaign of abduction, murder and destruction against the people of Aal Masood villages in Qaifah of Rada’a district. As we’re monitoring what’s going on, we are gravely concerned about the crimes committed by Houthis militia against the civilians in those villages. Houthis used, with the full knowledge of the whole World, excessive force against the civilians, attacking their houses with uncrewed aerial vehicles, rockets and artillery without distinguishing between children and women.What the people of Aal Masood villages, of Qaifah in Al Quraishyah District, have been experiencing revealed the heinous crimes committed by Houthis militia against the innocent people, as Houthis deliberately spill blood of Yemenis and conduct ethnic cleansing on a sectarian basis. Houthis militia practices the policy of ruin and destruction in its controlled areas in an attempt at demographic chang through forcing a lot of people to displace or accept its Iranian sectarian project. Houthis arrogantly drive many citizens to leave their homes looking for safer places and others to leave Yemen. The leaders of Houthis militia sent a massive military compaign flush with several kinds of heavy weapons such as Katyusha rockets and uncrewed aerial vehicles. That military compaign attacked the people’s houses and properties in Hankat Aal Masood, using hysterically the shells of tanks and artillery, UAV and Katyusha rockets that resulted in destroying houses over the heads of innocent women and children. Also, the militia cut off the internet and communications network for disaster areas and imposed them to suffocating siege in order to not let the World knows about committed crimes and massacres and the correct number of dead and injured. The damages to the people’s houses and properties were great, in addition to bombing a mosque because of it named Mu’awiyah ibn Abu Sufyan. The Houthis not only imposed suffocating siege to Aal Masood, that led to depriving the people of their basic needs, but they redoubled the suffering of the people and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, most of them were children and women, through tormented, murdered and bombings. The systematic policy to kill the people of Rada’a is Houthis racism policy, as they attacked these villages almost every year. Houthis attacks on Al Bayda over the past years killed, injured and abducted thousands of Al Bayda people and damaged the civilians lives and displaced them. Moreover, Houthis militia keeps on its attacks on the innocent people of Al Bayda with heavy weapons and UAV in an effort to subjugate and humiliate the people in blatant violation of all international humanitarian laws and conventions. During the Houthis attacks on Aal Masood villages, 9 houses were totally destroyed and tens others partially destroyed in the villages of Al Qa’a, As-sarm, Al Mishwaf, As-sublah, Kubadah, Al Qabl and Ra’s Elshifa’a, whereas the undestroyed houses were looted by Houthis members.They stole dozens documents of homes and land.

We also call upon all international and local organizations, UN representatives and the Security Council to fullfill their humanitarian duties towards Yemeni civilians, demanding them to intervene and put pressure by all possible means on Houthis in order to protect the people of Al Bayda, in particular Aal Masood villages, Qaifah and Rada’a, prevent the gross violations against the people of Qaifah and hold involved Houthis leaders responsible for these serious violations against human rights.
