Photos and videos shared by Yemeni activists showed a group of students from a school in Ib governorate circumambulating a statue of criminal Hassan Nasrallah in a parallel to the Tawf, in a scene that sparked widespread popular outrage and was considered by observers to be an unprecedented threat to education.
In the context of the popular outcry, a widespread online campaign was launched on social networking sites, to expose the devil, the divination and the tyranny of the Iranian Houthi militia, which seeks to revive the customs of denying the religion of Yemenis and their national identity.
Participants in the campaign, which carried the hashtag “ #Houthi_idols ,” expressed their deep disgust at the incident, which they described as an assassination of children’s innocence and the exploitation of education institutions to promote a sectarian agenda that threatens national identity.
- Despising Yemenis:
Journalist and writer "Mustafa al-Qutaybi" says that since the Houthi coup and their forced overthrow of Yemen, the country has turned into a big prison, where oppression and tyranny control people's souls, and they are asked to worship mythical militia leaders.
He added that turning a militia leader into an inviolable “holy” is the utmost degrees of contempt for the Yemeni people and their civilization that is deeply rooted in history.
He noted that 200,000 dead and 16 million Yemenis on the brink of starvation, however, the Houthi militias are busy opening graves and making shrines and idols for Abdul Malik and his family.
