Annex II: Timeline92Facing popular protests, a secessionist movement in the south, a spiraling security crisis, and a deep fracturing of political factions, Yemen’s political elite acceded to the Gulf initiative in 2011, which established a caretaker transitional government. The agreement signed in Riyadh stipulated a two-year transitional period and created a National Dialogue Conference (NDC) as a forum to solve the country’s political problems.93 2014 January - National Dialogue Conference winds up after ten months of deliberation, agreeing a document on which the new constitution will be based. February - Presidential panel gives approval for Yemen to become a federation of six regions as part of its political transition. July - Tribesmen blow up the country's largest oil pipeline, disrupting supplies from the interior to a Red Sea export terminal. August - President Hadi sacks his cabinet and overturns a controversial fuel price rise following two weeks of anti-government protests in which Houthi rebels are heavily involved. September - Houthi rebels take control of the capital Sanaa. The UN brokers a peace deal according to which the Houthis agree to withdraw their fighters from cities they have seized once a new national unity government has been formed. 2015 January - The Houthis reject the draft of a new constitution proposed by the government. They seize state TV and clash with troops in the capital, in what the government describes as a coup attempt. President Hadi and his government resign in protest at the takeover of the capital by Houthi rebels. He later rescinds his resignation. February - Houthi rebels say that they are seizing power and that a transitional five-member presidential council will replace President Hadi. UN Security Council denounces Houthi move, demands they negotiate power-sharing agreement under Gulf Cooperation Council aegis. President Hadi flees house arrest in Sanaa, escapes to Aden. March - Islamic State carries out its first major attacks in Yemen - two suicide bombings targeting Shia mosques in Sanaa in which 137 people are killed. Houthi rebels start to advance towards southern Yemen. President Hadi flees from Aden. A Saudi-led coalition of Arab states launches heavy air strikes against Shia Houthi rebel targets and imposes a naval blockade. June – With more than 21.1 million people, over 80 percent of Yemen's population, who need some form of humanitarian assistance, the UN activates the IASC system-wide level 3 emergency response for Yemen for six month. July – A UN brokered fire pause does not materialize as fighting and airstrikes continue. 1 For child protection, this includes: Al Bena'a, Association for Developing Persons with Special Needs, Charitable Society for Social Welfare, Yemen Red Crescent Society, Yemeni Women Union. 2 For child protection, this includes: Adventist Development and Relief Agency, Danish Demining Group, Danish Refugee Council, INTERSOS, Islamic Relief Yemen, Safe the Children. 3 For child protection especially MOSAL. 4 For child protection, this includes: Al Bena'a, Association for Developing Persons with Special Needs, Charitable Society for Social Welfare, Yemen Red Crescent Society, Yemeni Women Union 5 For child protection, this includes: Adventist Development and Relief Agency, Danish Demining Group, Danish Refugee Council, INTERSOS, Islamic Relief Yemen, Safe the Children 6 These parties to the conflict have been in the SC’s report annexes for at least five years and are therefore considered persistent perpetrators. 1 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, Situation Analysis of Children in Yemen, 2014: www.unicef.org/mena/MENA-Situation_Analysis_report_-_English_Final(1).pdf 2 Human Rights Watch, World Report 2015 - Yemen: www.refworld.org/docid/54cf836e15.html 3 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, op. cit. 4 Committee on the Rights of the Child, Concluding observations on the report submitted by Yemen under article 8, Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict, 2014: http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/TreatyBodyExternal/Countries.aspx?CountryCode=YEM&Lang=EN 5 CNN, UNICEF: 279 children die in 10 weeks of violence in Yemen, June 2015: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/16/middleeast/yemen-child-deaths-in-conflict/ 6 Committee on the Rights of the Child, Concluding observations on the 4th periodic report of Yemen, 2014: http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/TreatyBodyExternal/Countries.aspx?CountryCode=YEM&Lang=EN 7 Human Rights Watch, op. cit. 8 CPWG Country Profile Yemen, 2015. 9 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, op. cit. 10 UNICEF, In Yemen, one girl fights back against the practice of early marriage, March 2014: www.unicef.org/infobycountry/yemen_72918.html 11 CRC, Concluding observations 4th periodic report, op. cit. 12 Girls not Brides, Yemen’s chance to set 18 as the minimum age of marriage: www.girlsnotbrides.org/yemens-chance-to-set-18-as-the-minimum-age-of-marriage-says-human-rights-watch/ 13 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, op. cit. 14 Al Jazeera, Saudis warned over marrying 'unidentified' Yemen women, August 2015: www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/08/saudis-warned-marrying-unidentified-yemen-women-150806110721916.html 15 Sexual violence in conflict, Report of the Secretary-General, A/67/792–S/2013/149, March 2013: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5167bd0f4.html 16 CRC, Concluding observations article 8, op. cit. 17 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, op. cit. 18 Ibid. 19 Ibid. 20 WHO Mental Health Atlas Yemen Profile, 2011: www.who.int/mental_health/evidence/atlas/profiles/yem_mh_profile.pdf 21 See: http://sfd-yemen.org/uploads/issues/health%20english-20121015-132757.pdf 22 American Psychological Association, Psychology in Yemen, 2008: www.apa.org/international/pi/2008/05/yemen.aspx 23 Ibid. 24 Information based on the on the report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council (A/69/926–S/2015/409) issued on 5 June 2015: https://childrenandarmedconflict.un.org/countries/yemen 25 Human Rights Watch, op. cit. 27 CRC, Concluding observations article 8, op. cit. 28 Ibid. 29 See: http://watchlist.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Yemen-conclusions.pdf 30 CPWG Country Profile Yemen, 2015. 31 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, op. cit. 32 U.S. Department of State, Office to monitor and combat trafficking in persons, 2014 Trafficking in Persons Report, Yemen Country Narrative: www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/countries/2014/226849.htm 33 Ibid. 34 CRC, Concluding observations 4th periodic report, op. cit. 35 IOM, IOM Aids Ethiopian Minors to Return from Tanzania and Yemen, February 2015: www.iom.int/news/iom-aids-ethiopian-minors-return-tanzania-and-yemen 36 UNICEF Yemen SitRep, February 2015: www.unicef.org/mena/MENA-UNICEF_Yemen_SitRep_February_2015.pdf 37 UNICEF Yemen SitRep, December 2014: http://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/UNICEF%20Yemen%20SitRep%20Dec2014.pdf 38 Al Jazeera, Yemen unyielding on child executions, 2013: www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/03/20133485144413946.html 39 CRIN, Inhuman sentencing of child offenders in Yemen, 2012: http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/Treaties/CCPR/Shared%20Documents/YEM/INT_CCPR_NGO_YEM_104_10334_E.pdf 40 CRC, Concluding observations 4th periodic report, op. cit. 41 UNICEF and the Republic of Yemen, op. cit. 42 Humanitarian Response Plan, June 2015: www.humanitarianresponse.info/en/system/files/documents/files/yem_hrp_190615_final.pdf 43 IASC Emergency Directors Group, IASC L3 Response Activation Background and Benchmarks, Yemen, 6 July 2015;
