Before Khusrov's dismissal, an official source in the Ministry of Defense announced that President Abdurbo Mansour Hadi, directed to remove him from his site as director of the Department of Moral Guidance "for the misinformation reported on the Yemeni T.V," against the backdrop of Khusrov's remarks, which played down the role of the Arab Coalition

The government of President Hadi hastened to declare unequivocally the validity of Khusrof's remarks, and to announce the contents of the sharp presidential directive by referring him to "investigation as a result of his violation of the rules of the profession and regulations of the military organization." But he did not reciprocate with previous remarks made by Defense Minister Major General Muhammad Al Maqdashi, who revealed that 70% of the army forces sitting in their homes, which, in case of war, amounts to the rank of treason in the customs and traditions of military
On Saturday morning, April 20, 2019, the Minister of Defense Al Maqdashi revealed that 70% of the National Army forces are outside the fronts and are present in the streets and houses, considering that this is a crime to be held accountable by law. He added that 30% of the army forces on the fronts

Parallel Entities Outside The Military

Suleiman revealed the interference of parallel entities outside the framework of the army establishment in drawing up decisions of the army, enabling those who describe them as close and elusive to control the potentials by some centers of influence in exchange for excluding national cadres and leaders and impeding the implementation of the tasks assigned to them, considering these practices as destructive to the effectiveness of the army and soldiers in the war
Lt. Col. Sulaiman explicitly refered to the growing and rampant corruption within the National Army Foundation, revealing the attempt by many of the so-called centers of power to take from the Army Foundation a tool to rebuild the center and build self-dreams
Expenditures Outside The Battle Needs

He said, "While we find those resources go as expenses for some of the influential, is spent on the sidelines of the issues," adding, "and sometimes on what has nothing to do with the requirements and needs of the battle,Lt.
Col. Sulaiman complained about ignoring the plans of his department, and the lack of operational possibilities, pointing out that his direct leadership (Major General Mohsen Khusrove) faces the same problems
