The Prime Minister, Dr. Abdulaziz Saleh bin Habtour, confirmed that the new international order led by the United States of America has transformed humanity into poor and beggars by fueling conflicts and harnessing the dollar to enslave people around the world.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the essence of the problem in which the Yemeni people fall today is the unfair world order, which was formed after World War II, and was designed in favor of cartels and major companies that control the world and the interests of peoples.
He explained that the wars and conflicts behind which the international system stands are two main factors of migration and human trafficking.
Dr. Bin Habtoor expressed the aspiration of most of the peoples of the world for the success of the BRICS system led by Russia and China. Because it will reduce the pressure of America and Europe, not on our region, but on the whole world.

He added, “Our problem in Yemen, as I have repeatedly spoken, is with the UN Security Council, which legitimized the aggression and stood with the countries of aggression, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, whose decisions were bought in their favor, and not in favor of the stability of Yemen, as they claim and brag.”
For his part, the Minister of Human Rights, Ali Hussein Al-Dailami, affirmed that human trafficking is a flagrant violation of human rights and an international crime, noting that the crime of trafficking in persons according to its national and international concept is summarized in actions and practices such as attracting persons (children, women, men), transporting, harboring or receiving them for the purpose of exploiting them.
