Minister of Information Muamer al-Iryani called on German Government and all interested organizations to intervene to stop child recruitment by Iran-backed Houthi militia; noting that the militia has been working on recruiting 50 thousand Yemeni child.

As he met on Sunday in Berlin with Vice President of German Council on Foreign Relations Volker Stanzel, al-Iryani explained that the Iran-backed Houthi militia has been promoting Iranian Islamic Revolution’s doctrine, capitalizing on poverty, unemployment and economic hardships in Yemen to recruit thousands of children into its ranks.

They discussed the latest developments about the situations in Yemen, mainly peace efforts in view of Stockholm Agreement and the putschist Houthi militia’s intransigence and rejection to implement the UN-brokered agreement, simply because the Houthi militia was basically created to serve the Iranian regime’s agendas in Yemen and the region.

The Minister of Information reiterated the Yemeni government’s desire to establish peace and put an end of the Yemeni peoples’ suffering due to the Houthi militia’s coup and rejection to come to peace.

For his part, Mr. Stanzel stated that they realize the root problem in Yemen back to the beginning of Iranian intervention in the region.

The two sides agreed to organize a number of discussions in the future to explain the truly situations in Yemen to German public opinion.

Yemen ambassador to Berlin Dr. Yahya Asho’ibi was in attendance.
