BREAKING
Al-Houthi: We find ourselves in the most sacred battle and the greatest position. We do not consider the sacrifices to be wasted losses; rather, we have given everything for the sake of this stance.

Al-Houthi: Great sacrifice in the path of God only increases our steadfastness, determination, certainty, resilience, and cohesion.
Al-Houthi: The Zionist crime confirms the importance of Yemen's conscious and insightful position based on constants, values, and human ethics.
Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy is a criminal who proves its brutality and monstrosity through all its criminal practices, void of any controls.
Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy's record is one of terrible and horrific crimes, full of bloodshed against the Palestinian people and people in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
Al-Houthi: The crime of targeting ministers and civilian workers adds to the Israeli enemy's criminal record in the region.
Al-Houthi: All of the martyrs were ministers working in civilian fields.

  • Trump starting term amid serious human rights issues facing US: HRW

Tanya Greene, US program director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), expressed Thursday that US President-elect Donald Trump will take office at a time when the country is grappling with major human rights challenges.

"Donald Trump is taking office at a time when the United States is already shifting in reverse on key human rights issues," Greene asserted.

She stressed that the departing Joe Biden administration made little headway in combating systematic racism and the growing danger to reproductive freedom.
 
She also noted that the US federal and state governments had implemented more oppressive border regulations.

According to Greene, "State and local authorities undid criminal legal system reforms and threatened fundamental freedoms."

According to HRW's latest analysis, strong anti-immigrant laws, efforts to undermine democratic institutions, and new state regulations discriminating based on race, gender, and sexual orientation exacerbated the situation in the United States in 2024.

The report notes that "Donald Trump, who was re-elected to the US presidency in November, has promised policies that would severely undermine human rights and the country's democratic system of checks and balances."

According to the report, some US states passed legislation in 2024 that limited the teaching of Black history and classroom conversations about race, sexual orientation, and gender.

The US also curtailed immigrants' fundamental right to seek asylum when the average number of illegal people crossing the border without authorization surpassed a specific threshold, it noted.

Trump has stated that on his first day in office, he will execute a series of executive orders closing the US border to unauthorized immigrants, pledging that every foreign gang member and illegal alien on American territory will be deported and "destroyed."
