A training course was kicked off here on Wednesday for the field team charged with surveying the displaced people due to the war in Saada province.
The two-day course, organized by ADRA organization and funded by UNHCR aims to introduce 12 participants to skills and knowledge about the ways and mechanism to implement the field survey of displaced people.At the course opening, Undersecretary of Jawf province urged the Executive Unit for displaced in the province to carry out the field survey completely, confirming the province's readiness to present all support to contribute to succeed the survey process accurately.According to the UN, about 250,000 have been displaced due to the rebellion war ignited by al-Houthi rebels in Saada province, northern Yemen.The recent ceasefire announced last week by President Ali Abdullah Saleh, after the rebels had announced their acceptance to the government’s six conditions and the mechanism to implement them, ended a years-long conflict between the government troops and al-Houthi rebels in Saada.
The six conditions were:
- Al-Houthi commitment to ceasefire, eliminating landmines and leaving positions and hideouts.
- Rebel withdrawal from all districts in Saada and stopping interference in the local government's duties.
- Returning looted Yemeni and Saudi military and public equipment and properties.
- releasing Yemeni and Saudi captives.
- Obeying the law and constitution.
- Pledging not to attack Saudi lands.
Saada has witnessed a sporadic six-year war between the government troops and al-Houthi rebels since 2004. The last round of the war was erupted in August 2009.
