Children in the areas controlled by the Coalition of Aggression and its mercenaries are being denied their most basic human rights as they recruited and used in hostilities.
The UN Group of Eminent International and Regional Experts on Yemen in its third report 2020 stated that it verified cases of “boys recruited by the Special Security Forces of the Government of Yemen in Shabwah, used in combat in Abyan in May–June 2020, and detained by the southern transitional council in Aden.”
The Group of Experts also verified cases of recruitment of boys by brigades and units whose members allegedly affiliated with the Coalition and/or the so-called Legitimate Government. “The boys are recruited in the governorates of Taiz and Lahj in Yemen, then they are transferred to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for training, and then they are deployed on the land of Yemen,”.
