however, the houthi militias and the forces loyal to the ousted president saleh has not complied with or abided by any single item of this resolution. that's why we're calling the international community -- [ no audio ] -- towards this. we do not wish to see further proposals, drafted solutions, why the houthi militias and forces loyal to saleh continue to perpetrate their crimes on the ground. we must realize that our people are living in terror and fear across the provinces. very few number of the militias are in total control of the state [ inaudible ] and that's why we should realize that our people are living in fear.
