Sana'a, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
The veteran Yemeni politician, Dr. Abdul Karim Al-Iryani - may God have mercy on him - was quoted as saying: "From the wrath of God upon him, extend his life until the day comes when he negotiates with Mahdi Al-Mashat."
An accurate phrase that summarizes the scene the Yemenis are experiencing with the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, which has proven the seven years since its coup in September 2014 the credibility of Al-Iryani’s statement, as many thought that this period was sufficient to show Houthi leaders capable of presenting a different political discourse that gives a kind of confidence to the public opinion In the Houthi movement, but nothing of that happened. Rather, the opposite is what happened exactly, as many Houthi figures appeared, such as Mahdi Al-Mashat, who made Dr. Al-Iryani,He is the one who is in the world of politics, diplomacy and negotiation, to reach that conclusion and release his famous saying that will remain immortal and witness to the people and persons produced by the Houthi militia who have tampered with the country in terms of government, administration, killing, conflicts and sectarian and racial division.
Unfortunately, there is great negligence among the opponents of the Houthi militia in following up the positions launched by the Houthi leaders, analyzing their content and reading them using analytical methods that show internal and external public opinion the reality of the thought that these militias carry at various levels.
The militia leader, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, who is a member of the so-called Supreme Political Council, and the head of the so-called justice committee that controls the judiciary, appears to be the most Houthi leader who launches almost daily political positions, and appears in many international media outlets as an expression of the militia’s political positions. Indeed, a channel such as Al-Jazeera Al-Qatari turns his Twitter tweets into news snags, although they do not deserve it, according to analysts and interested parties.
To clarify the clear picture of the Houthi militia, let us cite three tweets launched by Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, to look at the truth of the ideology that these militias carry towards many different issues.
The Yemenis, in the eyes of the Houthis, are a rab'a who have no objection to killing them
In his tweet on his Twitter page, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi tried to appear as if he wanted to embarrass the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by talking about the Palestine issue in conjunction with the current events, which turned from an attempt to embarrass Saudi Arabia to a clear demonstration of the truth about the Houthi militia’s view of the Yemeni people.
Al-Houthi demanded, in his Saudi tweet, to bomb Israel, but what was interesting about the matter was the return he offered in exchange for his claim, where he said that the return was to allow Saudi Arabia to bomb and besiege the Yemenis without any response from his militia.
Regardless of delving into the legitimacy of the raids and siege imposed by the Saudi-led coalition to support legitimacy, the Houthi tweet revealed how his group views the Yemenis as mere thugs with no problem being killed as long as it is based on a decision taken by the militias that may serve him interest.
While one of the militia activists, calling himself Karrar Marani, quickly described Muhammad Ali al-Houthi as a kind bear, asking him to apologize for that tweet .. Journalist and writer Abdullah Hashem Al-Hadrami commented on the Houthi tweet by saying: He will present it in favor of the Palestinian resistance, and Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi called on the Saudi Kingdom to bomb the Israelis, and in return his group will allow Saudi Arabia to bomb Yemen without a response.
Show abhorrent sectarianism
In another case that shows the sectarian ideology of the Houthi militia, the leader, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, published more than four to five tweets in which he addressed Tarawih prayers in conjunction with the media campaign that revealed the militias' intention to prevent people from performing Tarawih prayers in Ramadan in mosques in exchange for imposing their sectarian program that includes forcing people to Hear the lectures of militia leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi inside and outside mosques, and special lectures by militia leaders focusing on mobilizing young people to the battlefronts.
In his attempts to justify his militias' banning Tarawih prayers, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi went to compare the practices of his militia with what he claimed to prevent obligatory prayers in the Grand Mosque without a statement, which reveals the superficiality of his political thought and the error of linking it between the practices of his militia and the controls that Saudi Arabia put in place to pray in the Grand Mosque as part of the procedures. Confronting the Corona epidemic, and at the same time reveals the truth about the position of its movement, which begins in preventing people from performing Tarawih prayers from a sectarian stance based on the Shiite doctrine, which believes that Tarawih prayer is a heresy, which is what he repeated in more than one tweet by describing Tarawih prayer as heresy.
The sectarian stance of his militia towards Tarawih prayers increased for him to go to attack Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and its scholars in response to their statement that criticized and denounced the Houthi militia’s preventing people from performing Tarawih prayers in mosques during the month of Ramadan, and attacking Al-Azhar Al-Sharif with my doctrine confirms that the Houthi militia is based on a religious sectarian ideology that stems from the sect. The Twelver Shiite who rules and leads Iran, which considers the Houthi militia its military arm in Yemen.
A contradiction that exposes the Houthi’s humanitarian violations
In evidence of the extent of the contradictions in which the Houthi militia appear, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi published a tweet on his Twitter page at the end of last February, in which he claimed that his militia was ready to exchange Ambassador Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh with the UAE if it considered him the latter as its captive.
This tweet was met with a campaign of great criticism and ridicule from activists and commentators who described what Al-Houthi said as merely a political bid, a kind of intellectual superficiality, and evidence of the contradiction that the Houthi militia experienced between its bidding and the human violations it practices against its detainees and prisoners. In the name of Ambassador Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh, while his two captive relatives, Muhammad Muhammad Abdullah Saleh and Afash Tariq Muhammad Abdullah Saleh, continued to be arrested since December 2017, and for more than two years they were prevented from communicating with their families or allowing any of their relatives or friends to visit them, which constitutes a flagrant violation Their constitutional and legal rights as Yemeni citizens, and their rights as prisoners, according to the Geneva Convention on Prisoners.
