A local source told Almasderonline that the Houthis-Saleh militias forced the residents of  al Hajar and al Safa villages of Jabal Habashi western Taiz city, southwestern Yemen, to push their sons to fight with them in exchange for lifting the siege imposed since months, otherwise they will be evicted from their houses and leave the area.

It is worth mentioning that Taiz province has the highest rates of displacement because of fighting, since the beginning of 2015, between the Houthis-Saleh forces on the one hand and the government and popular resistance forces on the other hand.
