A human rights report issued by the Coalition of Human Rights Organizations in the governorate of Hajjah early March revealed that the bombing of the Houthis and their siege of the areas of the tribes of Hajour more than 40 days forced 48 thousand people to flee, and those displaced represent 2,200 families.

According to the report, some families who fled the indiscriminate bombardment resorted to 22 schools and took up these schools as shelters for them because there were no shelter camps, while the Tehran-funded Houthi militias took possession of farms and houses of the population and destroyed other farms and homes.

In the latest report issued by the Human Rights Information and Training Center two days ago, the Center noted that the coup militia kidnapped 176 civilians in Hajour - Hajjah, and displaced about 2,665 families and caused the displacement of 4,856 families.

This crime was only one more chain of Houthi crimes that has been going on since 2004. This crime represented in the displacement of the population and Yemeni citizens who refuse to be drawn into the Houthi group's plans.

Two decades of displacement

The displacement of Yemeni Jews from their land in Saada by the Houthi militia was only the first episodes of Houthi crime directed at the depth of Yemeni society. The series of displacement has become a form of ethnic cleansing in the group's conflict on behalf of the Iranian sectarian project. In its punitive practices against its opponents, Iranian Houthi arms resorted to displacing to be a tool for collective punishment, followed by control or destruction of property in ways that reflected the systematic hatred and brutality against all forces of Yemeni society.

Since the first war between the Yemeni army and the Houthi militia in Saada in 2004, residents have come to realize that a person who rejected the strange Houthi's thought was not far from being arrested, tortured, deported or killed. The Houthis have practiced various kinds of crimes and abuses against the sons and residents of Saada governorate since the start of their rebellion against the state on 17 June 2004.

During the six wars Saada experienced between 2004 and 2009, villages and districts of Saada were destroyed and thousands of its inhabitants displaced from their homes and farms to this day. There are statistics that half a million of the forcibly displaced people have been displaced by the wars of the Houthi militia. Some of the displaced were also pursued by murder, absenteeism and assassinations.

The expansion of crime

By early 2014, the Houthis were committing another series of forced displacement against the sons of Damaj in Saada, along with hundreds of science students. According to statistics, 15,000 people were forced to leave their homes and farms under the bombardment imposed by the Houthis for nearly 100 days.

The Houthis arrived in Amran governorate in mid-2014, accompanied by forced displacement. The militias have displaced tens of thousands of people from different districts and thousands of families are looking for shelter. The Houthi crimes have reached the various governorates that their barbaric militias have entered. Perhaps the most common crimes of mass displacement of the population was in al-Wazi'ia west of Taiz governorate, as well as the displacement of 282 families from the village of Shaqab in Saber al-Mawadim alone. In the districts of the West Coast in Hodeidah and Hajjah, and a number of directorates of Ibb and Dhamar governorates, the statistics did not provide an inventory of the number of inhabitants and families abandoned by the militias, because the displacement has become a daily behavior and hardly a day passes without the displacement of entire individuals or families.

Houthi's behavior

In the areas under their control, the Houthis deal with Yemenis as hostages. However, the biggest crime is the process of demographic change through practicing the forced dislodgment of opponents of the Iranian-Persian group, as well as the seizure and destruction of homes and properties of the displaced in practices considered war crimes and classified as crimes against humanity.

The Houthi militias have turned the areas under their control into military zones where the most heinous crimes are committed. The least of these crimes is the crime of forced displacement, which has become the behavior of the pro-Iranian group.

The most prominent punishment forms resulted of the Houthi racist movement against the Yemeni society that rejects its project is to create the tragedy of the Yemeni displaced and to increase the number of displaced people in the shelter camps, and the social problems ensue, the emergence of new oppressors, tampering with the demographic structure, creating increased and continued hotbeds of violence and the destruction of the civil peace that was destructed by the movement that expresses the Imamate project in Yemen.

Regional project

Yemeni journalist and researcher Nabil al-Bukairi believes that the policy of displacement and restructuring of the demographic map adopted by the Houthi militias is a dangerous policy for the Yemeni society and the future of the country.

In his statement to al-Islah.net, al-Bukairi confirmed that the Houthi militias are taking their plans in the policy of displacement from the same project that took place in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, which was adopted by Iranian-backed sectarian militias to control these areas by displacing their indigenous inhabitants and replacing them with residents belong to and believe in the beliefs of this sectarian group.

Journalist Hussein al-Sufi explains that al-Huthi's militia acts like an occupier who attacks on the Yemeni people in an unprecedented manner.

Al-Sufi agrees with al-Bukairi that this is the real face of the Houthi militia as a demolition contractor and an external arm trying to break up the social fabric and dismantle social and demographic blocs just as Iran's arms in Iraq and Syria did, and it is an extension of the land-plowing strategy announced by Iran since the beginning of the millennium.

But al-Sufi says that the statements made by some international parties that come from time to time reveal the satisfaction and acceptance of the actions of the Houthi militia of displacement, bombing and destruction of the depth of society as if it works as a contractor carrying out the agenda of those parties that occasionally repeat talk of transparent division to the geography in Yemen, which explains the silence and tolerance of international bodies and United Nations organizations.

International silence

The Houthi's crime is clear in Marib governorate, where Marib included tens of thousands of families coming from different governorates. However, the most brutal images of displacement are reflected in the hundreds of abductees who were released from the Houthi militia camps in prisoner exchange deals and were forcibly expelled from their families. At the same time, the Houthi prisoners returned to their families to continue fighting in the Houthi ranks without stirring up the conscience of the international community and United Nations Organizations.

As an Iranian arm in Yemen, the Houthi group believes that by these policies it is forming a society according to its political, cultural, social and sectarian project that is strange for the Yemenis, and exploits the length of the war to achieve the greatest possible of success. Displacement and change of demographic structure come at the forefront of the means used by its militias. International law considers the crime of displacement to be crimes against humanity, but the displacement continues in Yemen with the silence of the international community.
