An electronic campaign has been launched on social media platforms in Yemen, to demand the designation of the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization, and to denounce international disregard for its heinous crimes.

Hundreds of participants tweeted the hashtag ("I classify al-Houthi as a terrorist"..) as a popular reaction condemning the international silence regarding the terrorism practiced by the Houthi militia.

Civilians who were affected by Houthi terrorism and the relatives of the victims of its crimes, as well as those fleeing the militia's suppression, and others whose salaries were confiscated and dismissed from their jobs participate in the campaign.

Participants said that the Houthi militia is a terrorist group, compared to the crimes and grave violations it commits, condemning the international community and the United Nations' condoning of the ugliness of those crimes that history and the Yemeni people will not lose sight of.

The participants in the demonstration enclosed their tweets with pictures and video clips showing some of the Houthi crimes that affected them and their relatives and recalling those bloody violations they were subjected to.

Politicians and community activists also circulated humanitarian and international agreements and legal texts that would put the Houthis on the list of terrorism without the need for any other assurances.

Young Omar Muhammad (25), a university student and one of the victims of the Houthi war on the south, cites a saying by a philosopher that “proving the truth is a denial of it,” adding: “Houthi terrorism is the only truth that every Yemeni has experienced since the emergence of this militia.”

Omar confirms that he was sleeping in a rented apartment to which his relatives were displaced in the middle of Bihan district in Shabwa governorate when a Houthi projectile fell on the house, causing amputation of his foot and the death of his parents and two brothers, one of whom is two years old.

Young people end their suffering with the tag: (#I_classify_Al-Houthi_terrorist) and this hashtag tops the list of the most prevalent topics in Yemen. 

This label puts the conciliatory positions of the United Nations regarding the militia's crimes, in a shameful position in front of thousands of Yemeni victims, the majority of whom are children, who were killed by missiles, missiles and snipers of Houthi terrorism.

The Yemeni community calls on the United Nations to quickly classify the Houthi militia as a terrorist group and to support the Yemeni people in their battle with the support of the Arab coalition forces, in order to achieve a victory for thousands of victims and in the interest of regional and global security and stability.
