Born to be torn: A generation raised under Houthi rule in Yemen

Nearly eight years ago, I warned about a generation of Yemeni children growing up under Houthi rule. At a time when some were still hoping that people in Saada, northern Yemen, would rise against the group, I questioned what would become of an entire generation raised under its control. Today, that warning carries a devastating weight. Children born under Houthi rule are now being recruited to fight. Schools and summer camps have been used for indoctrination and military training, exposing young people to recruitment when they should be receiving an education and building a future. These practices were documented by the United Nations Panel of Experts on Yemen and the US Department of Labor.
