Since the Houthi militias have taken control of the capital Sana'a, exchange shops have become the only intermediary that conducts exchanges and remittances between Houthi and the various countries of the world because they do not recognize the legitimacy of the Houthi coup.
The Money changers said that if the militias continue to impose their royalties on them, this will affect their ability to continue their activity and will negatively affect the process of remittances of people and merchants in areas controlled by militias, and that may lead them to suspend their work or strike work, as happened during the past period
