The demonstrators also slammed the world for keeping silent and tightlipped towards the crimes committed by Houthis militias and Saleh forces against innocent civilians in Taiz governorate.



Children, during the protest rally, called upon the United Nations Human Rights Council and countries they think still respect humans to stand with children of Taiz, who are at stake of being killed by the heavy and medium weapons of the rebels. Add to that the blockade that has never been witnessed in the world before as rebels prevent food, medicines, and water to get access to the city of Taiz.

Meanwhile, Bahah unveiled a plan to enhance and develop the city seaport and airport with Arab support. He said: "One of the key files that will be reviewed very shortly is security, and forging a real force to safeguard city of Aden."



He said to begin with this file was delayed due to being busy with the recent military operations in Bab Al Mandab.
