Sanaa, Newsyemen, Najwa Ismail:

The Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, deals with the Corona virus, which is sweeping more than 150 countries around the world, in a drastic contrast. While it rushed to close schools and universities, it moved its preachers in mosques to reduce the risk of the virus.


On Friday, the sermons of several mosques in the Houthi-controlled areas, especially in Sanaa, were filled with contradictions. While they tried to deny the existence of the Corona virus, they said at the same time that it was "an American, Israeli industry, to destroy the economy of China and Iran's Islamic strength", They claimed.


Local residents told Newsyemen that one of the speakers of the Houthi militia in Sanaa claimed during Friday sermon that “Corona will not reach their areas of control, as long as everyone returns to the Quran and adheres to the Quranic march and recognizes the mandate to the militia leader,” before returning to say that “the citizens should join the fronts instead of dying in the corona virus in bed, "or what he called" humiliating, shameful death. "

While the speakers of the Houthi militia in Sanaa, during Friday prayers yesterday, America, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were responsible for the outbreak.


Activists on social media surprised Houthi to stop schools and universities, while mobilizing citizens for its sectarian activities at the level of neighborhoods, government institutions, and citizens gathering areas.

They considered that the Houthis are working to destroy citizens conviction of the seriousness of the virus and the spread of its infection, and instead of harnessing the platforms of mosques and mosques for preventive education, they used it to incite people to not take preventive measures.


They pointed out that the measures taken by the Houthi militia were fictitious, in order to obtain more funding for international organizations, especially since the militia leaders appear on a daily basis on wedding occasions and condolences for elements of their followers despite taking decisions to prevent this.
