A documentary film about the landmines planted by various parties to the conflict in Yemen. Since the outbreak of the armed conflict in Yemen at the end of 2014, Mwatana for Human Rights organization has documented hundreds of landmine incidents affecting civilians, including children, in various Yemeni governorates. Thousands of victims have been killed or injured in areas where the Ansar Allah (Houthi) group planted different types of mines. Mwatana has also documented the use of landmines as a weapon of starvation in the conflict.
From Sanaa, Aden, Hadramout, Taiz, and Shabwa, along with a live broadcast linking participants in the conference halls with online attendees, Muwatana for Human Rights organized a unique and groundbreaking conference titled "The Legacy of Gunpowder", which addressed the state of human rights in Yemen after ten years of conflict.
A documentary comparing the cycles of conflict in Rwanda and the cycles of conflict in Yemen, their heavy legacy and the inevitability of peace.
After nearly a decade of war ravaging Yemen, the film "Unknown Fate" sheds light on a deep wound inflicted by Enforced Disappearances, which continue to haunt thousands of families. The film presents poignant stories of individuals who have fallen victim to ongoing cycles of political conflict and reveals the heavy legacy these crimes leave across generations. By tracing the impact of these horrific violations carried out by successive authorities and power factions, "Unknown Fate" highlights the suffering of the forcibly disappeared and their families and underscores the enduring impact of these violations on society as a whole.
Over a decade, the war has accumulated a heavy legacy of violations and atrocities against civilians by all sides across various regions of Yemen, marked by extreme cruelty. This has left its grotesque scars on a population deeply afflicted by suffering and immense tragedies, which continue to accumulate year after year, era after era. This situation places everyone before a historical responsibility to remedy the damage inflicted on Yemeni victims and to advance toward comprehensive transitional justice through an inclusive participatory mechanism, as an unavoidable necessity for escaping the sinking ship.
A difficult road and a labyrinth laden with division
What is often misunderstood in the context of ambitious attempts to implement #Transitional_justice in countries like #Yemen is the assumption that it can be applied as a one-size-fits-all template.
In the #Yemeni case, #transitional #justice is an urgent necessity to rebuild trust and rebuild the effects of the conflict on multiple levels, including psychological, social, and economic damage. Accordingly,..
despite a de-escalation trend among parties to the conflict since the first half of 2022 continuing through 2024, this did not deter these parties from committing various violations against civilians in their controlled areas. This conclusion is based on investigations, monitoring, and documentation conducted by Mwatana’s team throughout 2023.
