Emotional video shows Houthi child soldier breaking down in interview
The boy was captured and interviewed by legitimate Yemeni forces
Sanaa - Muslimchronicle
An emotional video has shown an interview with a Houthi child soldier in Yemen who was found and interviewed by legitimate Yemeni forces.
The interview was shared on the Twitter account of Nadwa Dawsari, a specialist on tribes and internal dynamics of conflict in Yemen and nonresident senior fellow at Project on Middle East Democracy.
During the interview the boy can be seen breaking down in tears and lost for words.
When asked what he would say to several boys his age “being tricked and recruited into Houthi fighting lines,” the boy continued to shed tears, turning his face away from the camera and barely nodding.
Earlier this year, Amnesty International revealed how the Houthi armed group is actively recruiting boys as young as 15 to fight as child soldiers on the front lines of the conflict.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
