 The Houthi militia in Ibb governorate has launched a new campaign to supplement its collapsed fighting fronts, which suffer losses on various battle fronts, especially on the fronts in Ma'rib governorate.

Informed sources revealed that the militia formed committees in the governorate’s directorates to mobilize and support its fighting fronts, in conjunction with a broad rejection of these calls, especially since those who are being recruited or forced will only return to lifeless corpses or shredded body parts.

The sources said that the Houthi militia forced the residents of Azlat al-Shaa’our in the Hazm al-Adeen district, west of Ibb governorate, to send a number of their children and sons to the militia fronts in the Ma’rib and al-Bayda governorates.

The sources added that the Houthi militia, in cooperation with the area's investigators, took 23 children from the isolation, including the 11-year-old Muhannad Abdul Rahman Suleiman Mansour Al-Sha'ari, to Dhamar Governorate, in preparation for their transfer to the fighting fronts.

 The sources pointed out the Houthi militia's insistence on mobilizing the children of feelings, and sending them to the battlefronts despite their young age, and despite the citizens' repeated appeals to the militia to stop mobilizing their children to the fronts and allow them to continue their education and exercise their rights like the children of the world.

According to the sources, the forced operations met with widespread rejection and resentment by the parents of the children, some of whom succeeded in returning their child, while some are still in militia training centers.
