Mocha, NewsYemen, private:
Muhammad Qasim Bunyan did not think that he would lose one of his feet, as a landmine planted by the Houthi militia gang, on the Mocha-Hais road two years ago.
Bunyan used to drive a car to transport goods from Al-Jarrahi markets to Al-Najiba market, in the Mocha district, on a weekly trip.
Bunyan told Newsemen that he went out in the morning with one of his escorts to buy goods and fetch them from Al-Jarrahi market. The weather was cloudy, while the signs of rain were about to begin.
He narrates the tragedy that lost his comrade and his left foot. We reached the "Dami" area of the Hays district, and we are overjoyed and the atmosphere is encouraging to continue the journey, before we decide to enter a branch line, to be the cause of our tragedy.
He adds, while we were on that road, a huge explosion occurred and a huge pressure force pulled me and my companion and we fell into a coma. I lost consciousness at that time and did not wake up from it until two days later in the hospital. Houthi mine, succumbed to his severe injury.
Bunyan says, I lost my job, and I no longer wanted to do anything, the incident planted fear in me, for every step I take, I feel that it will fall on a mine left by the Houthi militia.
