The terrorist Houthi militia launched a new forced recruitment campaign to mobilize more fighters to its ranks, despite the entry into force of the UN truce since last April.
Local sources told NewsYemen that the Houthi militia launched a new recruitment campaign called the general mobilization campaign.
The Houthi militia leadership pushed officials, parliamentarians, presidents, members of local councils, executive office managers, sheikhs and district leaders in its areas of control, to participate in the new recruitment campaign targeting youth and children in Sanaa and the areas under its control.
The sources pointed out that the militia formed field committees as part of the campaign to impose forced conscription by subjecting families to forcibly conscripting their children into the Houthi ranks, in exchange for promises to number them militarily and to approve salaries for them to exploit the difficult conditions of citizens as a result of looting their salaries for the seventh year in a row.
The militia imposes, on a monthly basis, on every district leader from the districts of Sana'a, to recruit about 5 fighters from the people of each neighbourhood.
Earlier, the Houthis used what they call "summer camps" to spread their religious ideology and recruit boys to fight. Such camps were set up in schools and mosques throughout the areas under their control in Yemen, especially the north and center of the country and Sana'a.
