Houthi militia and the soft war through which it seeks to control the north

Sana'a, Newsyemen, private:

The soft war that the Houthi movement takes is considered the most dangerous Iranian arm among all wars and tools of repression, as it proceeds to control the north in parallel with what it calls Rafd fronts to fight against what it calls "mercenaries, America and Israel".


 The scene of the participation of the students of "University of Science and Technology" in the capital, Sana'a, at the beginning of last week, in a demonstration against the newly appointed Mutawakkil by the militia, seemed uncommon in the eyes of some, but motivated to overcome fear.



This comes as a result of the soft war that the group has relied on since its invasion of the capital, Sana'a, on September 21, 2014, after the control of the 310th Armored Brigade, which was stationed in the city of Amran, by suppressing its opponents in ways that exceeded all norms.


 The militia has defined all its tasks from the very first moments, a slogan of death putty targeting political enemies, if you will, America and Israel, but on the ground it only kills the Yemenis.



Types of Soft War


 Reports indicate that soft war was the art of making containers and laying mines in all their forms, hysterically, which left many tragedies at the lowest costs, as teams from the Red Cross, King Salman Center, and the United Nations removed tens of thousands and integrated fields of mines.


 The militia has also arrested children, women, and the elderly, either from the streets or through storming homes, not observing a sick or old-aged person, or interrupting them while traveling between the governorates through checkpoints that constituted a terror pincer for all.



All of this was accompanied by holding their own religious and political events, mobilizing them at the highest level, allocating huge budgets without paying attention to any criticism or objection, and not caring about people's living conditions, and s cutting more than half a million employees’ salaries... where the ceremonies of those celebrations were held as they desired , once in Sanaa, once in Saada and again in Al-Hodeidah or Ibb.



Cultural courses and human shields


 Perhaps the cultural cycles that do not stop and will not stop, as they are the main pillar in resurrecting the doctrinal spirit and the paste of sectarianism and descendants at the expense of the social fabric; they are the key in this priestly project, and here they do not exclude anyone as a comprehensive washing process for all concepts and values that have been deposited during the past decades and years.


 The militia has gone beyond that to work on the contradictions that hinder any progress in the political or countermeasures, and the use of human shields by detainees on the one hand, and on the other hand their use of bartering and exchanging them for prisoners of war.



Absolute control

 The militia tried hard to enhance its military presence, by shipping tribes and mobilizing the largest number of fighters, and focused on specific age groups, along with the top leaders that enabled them to have many tools to help them mobilize, including money, regional mobilization, and ideological sectarianism.


 This has established its political and sectarian presence in areas far from its main centers, such as sprawling villages and districts.



In addition to Saadah, Amran, Hajjah, Sanaa, and Dhamar, they have taken great care to devote themselves to Al Bayda, Ibb, Taiz, Hofeidah, and Rima, and these are all just fronts to maintain the center.


 In recent periods, it seemed present due to the exclusion of all parties opposing it, the continuation of the war, and the lack of progress, except for what was restored almost two years ago.



Al-Jawf occupation on the outskirts of Marib

 After the Houthi militia took control of Al-Jawf Governorate and the city center of Al-Hazm, the Hadi government mobilized and sent some of its ministers to Marib, describing the battle with the Houthis as an existential one.

As of now, nothing of that has changed. Just yesterday, the militia launched a missile targeting senior leaders in the al-Yatma area, which borders the Saudi border.


 This makes the battle unilateral and paints a clear picture of the capabilities the militia possesses, decisive actions in return for a strange retreat for the legal forces, who are fully aware with the coalition of the danger of the Houthi project and its strategic dimensions.



Injustice and sacrifices


 The militia leans on a mortal stockpile of mortal dead bodies, so it pays most of its attention to celebrating the martyr's day, making photo galleries, and a formal and semi-daily opening of graves.


 All this gives a dangerous dimension to a project that is being established from the depth of the graves, and there is no coincidence here except in the rare.


 All of this is pushing them to tighten the noose on what they calls opponents, and to suppress them outwardly and internally. For example, yesterday, school principals were arrested in Amanat Al-Asimah, storming the headquarters of the organization of the activists of the Yemeni revolution, looting its archives and completely tampering with it.



The most recent interview for the tribal chief of cohesion, Dhaif Allah Rassam, is the most dangerous thing in the matter, as he explicitly disclosed the phrase about what is circulated and what Houthi aspires to repress, tyranny and revenge against Republican Yemenis in general.



International attendance



 The group was able to receive some of its representatives outside the country through the lines available through the United Nations and the Sultanate of Oman, not to mention those closely related to human rights organizations who work in a suspicious and dual manner.


 In addition, it relies on submitting reports that are carefully examined in advance, in the absence of the other side of legitimacy.


 Until it dealt with international agreements in this way is a soft war, it did not announce its rejection of the agreements and did not take a step forward, which made the matter more like blackmailing everyone, whether the international party or the coalition or legitimacy and even Yemeni society.
