Tribal leaders of Hajja province have alleged that the Houthi group breached most agreements reached with them, pointing out that they use children in their fighting against tribes and Salafis.
Locals of Kushar district of Hajja reiterated that their areas witnessed relative calm after dozens of both sides were killed and wounded.
They said the Houthi group has plans to expand and control on some district of Hajja and other governorates.
On the other hand, spokesman of the Houthi group Mohammad Abdul-Salam denied these claims, saying that the Saudi Arabia provide the armed men with dates and milk, and encourage them to fight the Houthis.
However, tribal men said all the Houthi fighters do not belong to their areas, emphasizing that they were brought from Saada and other areas.
Secretary-General of the Nasserite Unionist People's Organization in Hajja, Zaid Arjash, told media outlets that the Houthi group surrounds some areas and deprive civilians from commodities and medicines, indicating that the group merely uses mediations and agreements as tactics.
"We tried to reach agreements with the Houthis, but they always violate them and assassinate tribal leaders and dignitaries" he added.
Arjash said that the tribal men fiercely fight to defend their areas, citing that dozens of Houthi fighters were killed and their corpses are still thrown on the mountains.
He made clear that the tribal men only have light weapons such as AK 47 and the Houthi fighters have mortars, RPG and tanks.
Arjash appealed to all human rights groups and media outlets to pay attention to the humanitarian tragedies in Hajja, affirming that approximately 5000 families were displaced as a result of the Houthi aggressions on their villages.
