To take the first step on the road to peace, Yemenis should put an end to the coup and disband militias of Houthis and ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh whose crimes are too numerous to count, said Yemeni human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman.

Karman, in a post published on social media, wrote that she “has given up to count crimes and violations committed by the fascist militias of Saleh and Houthis as that would lead to a deceptive idea that their crimes could be identified or counted, stressing that they are too many to be counted.

Houthis and ousted president, in her view, are at the root of all calamities Yemen is suffering from, and she urged to end the coup and make every effort to disband these militias so that it is possible to take the first step in the way of achieving peace in Yemen.

Mrs. Karman added that the putschists have committed direct violations against 25 million citizens and against at least two coming generations.

She continued: "Following the peaceful revolution on February 11, we had a consensual transition process. Only few months before a referendum on the new draft constitution, however, the coup alliance resorted to force to disrupt the political process, bring down the legitimate authority and bring the whole country into all this devastation.”

Karman emphasized that if the coup had not taken place, there would have been no Arab coalition nor ferocious aerial bombardment.
