Sanaa, NewsYemen, Special Report:

While the leader of the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, Muhammad al-Bukhaiti, is promoting and implementing a campaign to collect financial donations to support the battle that the militias are waging with the aim of overthrowing the governorate of Ma'rib.  As usual, media campaigns on social media pages (Facebook - Twitter).

Al-Bakhiti, who is the governor of Dhamar by the militias, is leading a fundraising campaign, which he officially launched on the tenth of this month at the Tahrir Post Office in the capital, Sanaa, where a special account was opened to receive donations under the name of the fundraising campaign for the Marib Front.

Al-Bakhiti was not satisfied with promoting the campaign through his accounts on social media, but he undertook the process of going down to some interests and private commercial establishments such as restaurants and forcing their owners to pay sums of money for the campaign, publishing his photos with them and announcing the amount of their donation, as is the case in publishing his photo with the owner of the royal restaurant called Saad Al-Dhabibi.  And the announcement of his donation of five million riyals to support the Marib front.

This al-Bukhiti Houthi activity, although it is an activity that falls within the terrorist activities of the Houthi militia and contributes to the killings carried out by their members against the Yemeni citizens, but from the political and military point of view it provides evidence of the Houthi leaders ’sincerity to their ideological and sectarian project based on violence and fighting to impose their orientations and control and extend their influence and authority over  People by force, and at the same time reflects that one of the reasons for the militias’s success in achieving military victories on the Nehm and Al-Jawf fronts and their relentless pursuit to bring down Marib is their activity and field action, and their use of all means to serve their agendas. Al-Bakhiti responds to comments made by commentators on his calls to donate gas and oil by claiming that after  Liberation of Marib The militia power will provide oil and gas to the citizens.

On the other hand, the observer finds the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen (the Reform Party) who control power in the oil and gas-rich Marib Governorate, which is the main stronghold that they used to launder the money that they stole from the coalition's support and established investment and commercial projects in it. They are content with leading slapdash media campaigns on the pages of websites.  Social communication only.

Observers find Brotherhood leaders such as Muhammad al-Hazmi, Saleh Sami, and many Brotherhood journalists and activists carrying out shy campaigns on Twitter and Facebook pages talking about repelling Houthi attacks, and the tribes and the National Army were able to repel the militia’s attempts to seize new sites, and end their campaigns by calling God to help the army fighters  And the tribes in Marib to confront the Houthi militia and thwart their plans to overthrow the governorate.

In a related context, while the leaders of the Houthi militia, such as Abu Ali al-Hakim and Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, conduct daily communication with tribal leaders and social figures and carry out mobilization operations for fighters to the Marib front, the legitimate leaders are content to take pictures of their defense minister, and he has laid a red carpet for him at Sayun airport to celebrate his return.  And the leakage of documents about differences between them and the Chief of Staff, and left the task of publishing some tweets critical of the Houthi militia attack on Marib, describing them as evidence of the Houthi’s tendency to thwart the peace efforts against the Minister of Legitimacy Muammar Al-Iryani, while leaving the battle fronts, battle areas and confrontations to the remnants of the heroes defending the republic from  Marib tribes and some soldiers of the National Army, whose members have not received their salaries for nine months.

It is true that the tribes of Marib have so far been able to break the craze of Houthi terrorism and fail its repeated attacks and prevent its overthrow of the oil-rich Marib Governorate, but the tribes ’sacrifices and what they have provided so far will not be sufficient to prevent the madness of the Houthi militia from continuing to wage a life-or-death battle for him, as the militias feel that  Bringing it down to Marib will not only enable it to control oil and gas and position itself on a new area on the borders of Saudi Arabia, but it will also be a bullet of mercy on legitimacy that has so far failed to preserve the victories achieved against the Houthi militia and allowed it through its corruption, flight and continued stay abroad to regain many  Areas such as Al-Jawf, Nihm and others, and if Marib falls into the hands of the Houthi militia, the legitimacy will find itself bare in front of the international community, which will not be able to defend a failed and corrupt legitimacy and will be forced to give the Houthi militia preference in any round of negotiations to impose its conditions, especially in shaping the future of the north of the country.


Just as legitimacy betrayed the sacrifices of the members of the National Resistance on the West Coast and conspired to their victories by signing the Stockholm Agreement, which enabled the Houthi militias to maintain control over the port of Hodeidah, so the corruption and impotence of legitimacy and the tricks it practices and fabricating side conflicts with everyone who does not owe loyalty to it, in addition to its reluctance  On a hypothetical media activity led by groups of leaders, media professionals and activists living in hotels abroad, all of which may contribute sooner or later to enabling the Houthis to achieve another victory by toppling Marib and dropping the project and legitimacy of legitimacy in the northern regions and creating justifications for the militias to raise their voice and demands at any upcoming negotiation table.
