According to the information obtained, @save_children sacked the organization's former representative in Yemen, Rama Hansraj, who caused the death of the local staff Hisham Al-Hakimi, the organization's security and safety director, after she had snitched on him to the Houthi group. However, the organization hasn't issued any statement yet to clarify or explain this dismissal. We call upon the organization to issue a statement clarifying the measures taken against Rama and revealing the circumstances of the case

To @save_children
Do you know who these kids are? These are the sons of Hisham Al-Hakimi, the security and safety director at @SaveChildrenYE. He had been arbitrarily detained and forcibly disappeared for 50 years before he was released as a dead body due to the snitch of the representative of your organization in Yemen Ms. Rama, who has been recently appointed in Bangladesh.
What will say to his children?
Will you be able to convince them that you still work to protect children in the world?
Until this moment, these children do not know their father is gone.
They still believe that he works in Jordan in your regional office, and they are impatiently waiting for him.

أغلقت ممثلة منظمة @SaveChildrenYE صفحتها على تويتر كي تتهرب من مسؤوليتها الإنسانية والقانونية تجاه مقتل هشام الحكيمي في سجون #الحوثي، ومطالبة اليمنيين لها بتوضيح ملابسات مقتله.
عوضاً عن الظهور للجمهور والحديث بشفافية حول ما حصل، تحاول هذه المسؤولة التنصل من تواطئها مع الحوثي والذي أدى إلى مقتل أحد موظفيها.

Update on the case of Hisham Al-Hakimi, who died under torture in a Houthi prison
Hisham was arrested on September 9 by the Houthis who also confiscated his phone and laptop, as well as his wife's phone and his 4 kids' tablets. On the same day of his arrest, @ramadeviah, the head of @SaveChildrenYE, left Sana'a.
@ramadeviah had good relations with the Houthi group and its leaders. She even travelled to Saada, where she stayed for more than a week and helped send a number of wounded Houthi members to Jordan for medical treatment on the expense of the organization, which contradicts with the rules and objectives of the organization.
These policies and the management method adopted by Rama were disturbing many of the employees, especially Hisham. As a result, Rama snitched Hisham to the Supreme Council for the Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation affiliated with the Houthis, known as SCMCHA. She had a meeting with the president and vice president of this entity. She told them that Hisham objected to everything the organization did for Houthis and that he was trying to direct projects to the south. She also told them that Hisham was focusing on the reports condemning Houthis and highlighting their violations against children.
Hisham received inforamation about this meeting and immediately spoke to Rama and explained to her that what she did was against the rules of work and posed a real threat to his life and the life of his family.
In the end, Hisham had to send an official email to the regional office @SaveChildrenJO, where he explained the matter to them in detail and held Rama responsible for his life and the lives of his family members and for any harm that might happen to them.
By the way, all of these accusations that Rama made against Hisham were incorrect. Hisham had nothing to do with programs and projects or funding and support. His work was limited to security, safety, and government communication.
I have to remind here that Rama left Yemen in the morning of September 9 and Hisham Al-Hakimi was arrested on the same day in the afternoon.

Since 2004, internal displacement in Yemen has hit women the hardest. Rather than narrowly focus on life-saving assistance, humanitarian organizations must develop policies with women’s strategic and long-term needs in mind, writes @GhaidaaMotahar

@balsamawi ليش؟

[Mohammed Al-Asaadi @alasaadim]

There is no single reason why millions of #Yemenis remain in lockdown for years unable to travel from Sana’a Airport.

Total humiliation, disrespect and disregard to all calls & appeals to re-open the airport. You cannot punish the entire nation.

Very frustrating & disgraceful

Relative died today in the plane at #Aden Int'l Airport before departure for Amman. She needed urgent evacuation for medical treatment abroad around 2 weeks ago but was impossible due to closure of #Sanaa Int'l Airport.
Really depressing, annoying & painful
