On his official Twitter account on Saturday, Eryani said: “These are the morals that the Iranian Houthi militias want to ingrain in our childrens brains for generations to come in every morning lineup at schools to destroy the social fabric and obliterate the Yemeni identity by declaring power to the master of the cave, repeating the Iranian cry and changing education curriculums.”

He added that the Houthi militias are using children and students as human shields to protect their leaders from being targeted and to appeal to public opinion and the international community in a clear contravention of international laws and human rights that prohibit the use of children in war conditions and endangering their lives.
