Human rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has demanded international community and major powers to implement the Security Council resolutions on Yemen,
and not allow the presence of armed groups and militias, stressing that the Yemenis are still waging their fateful battle fateful towards freedom, justice, dignity and democracy.
In a speech at the opening session of the fifth edition of the Warsaw Dialogue for Democracy, Karman said, " I, along with all those caring about Yemen, its future and unity, call to stop the war in order to establish a sustainable peace, but not to prepare for more war.”
She added that the international community and major powers are required to exert pressure on the putschists to implement the Security Council resolutions on Yemen, and not allow the existence of armed groups or militias.
Some demand Yemenis to tolerate an armed racist militia that believes that it has the exclusive right to rule the country under the pretext that a matter has to do with divine providence, she continued.
“How is it possible to build a democratic or even semi-democratic system in the presence of an armed militia that sees in the power its exclusive right?” she wondered.
Mrs. Karman pointed out that the West has pampered the counter-revolutions in a suspicious manner, “but even worse, this has taken place in conjunction with cracking down on fighters for freedom.”
The West succeeded in attracting dictators- their allies- but lost the peoples who have come to realize that when the West kept talking about democracy and human rights, it was not serious, but it was for blackmail, she quoted some as saying.
Yemen’s human rights activist said addressing western governments: “do not count on an armed militia, a military coup, a state-president slaughtering his own people day and night or a president seizing power by force, in order to fight terrorism because terrorism is their merchandise that they carefully look after and derive means of survival from.
She concluded by saying, “Despite all destruction and massacres, despite all betrayal and conspiracy, peoples worldwide will see the light and live democracy and free and dignified life as a reality, and the dream will come true sooner.”
