Sanaa, NewsYemen:
Media and educational sources in the capital, Sanaa, said that the Houthi militia leadership, the Iranian arm in Yemen, is seeking to lay off a large number of educational media employees and the official educational channel and replace them with militia members.
The sources added to NewsYemen: The leader of the Houthi militia, Yahya Hajeb, who is the director of educational media and director of the official educational channel controlled by the militias, seeks to release and expel more than 40 media and employees of the channel that the militias have appointed Hajeb as its director besides his position as director of educational media is not because he possesses qualifications for these two positions, but because he was from the Saada governorate, to which the leader of the Houthi militia, Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, belongs.
The sources indicated that the Houthi leader Hajeb sent a letter to the Ministry of Civil Service in the government controlled by the militias, confirming that the channel dispensed with about 40 media and employees and that the channel no longer needed them, while his letter was attached to another list that includes contracting with 30 people belonging to the Houthi militia, most of them From the people of Saada governorate, which was rejected by the ministry and justified its refusal by saying that these employees have been in the channel for nearly two decades and they cannot be dispensed with in this way, and at the same time it is not possible to contract with new employees in light of the interruption of salaries.
According to the sources, the Houthi leader, Hamid Hajeb, entrusted the contractors with the duties of managing the work of the educational channel, while old employees were prevented from practicing their work because many of them refused to attend the lectures of the militia leader inside the channel headquarters every Wednesday, which is what Hajeb considered a rebellion on the part of these employees that should be punished by dispensing with them.
It is worth noting that the official educational channel is one of the official satellite channels that the Houthi militia has controlled since its coup and control of state institutions on September 21, 2014, and has used it in favor of broadcasting the militia leader’s speeches, covering the movement’s activities, and spreading its ideas, ideological culture, and its claims about divine right, guardianship and other allegations of the militia.
