“Sana’a is not Kandahar.” Under this title, a number of activists in the Houthi-controlled areas timidly expressed their mockery of the group’s latest repressive practices in a way that exceeds that of extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
The Battle of Indecency,” with this description, an activist mocks the campaign carried out by the Houthi authorities, yesterday, Monday, in Sana’a, against a number of shops and “stands,” in which quantities of clothes were confiscated because their packaging contained an “immoral image,” according to the description of the office. Industry and Commerce in the Directorate of Ma'in, in a post on his Facebook page.
The office said that it carried out a "campaign to seize and withdraw images of immoral clothes that are displayed in clothing stores, centers and malls on Hayel Saeed Street," noting that it was able to "seize and withdraw 320 images of immoral clothes," justifying this as "based on the faith's identity. and the authentic Yemeni religious values, customs and traditions,” he claimed.
The allegations of the Houthi authorities were ridiculed by activists residing in their areas of control, some of whom are loyal to them. They said that the group confiscates these clothes, even though it is the one who allows them to be brought in in return for exorbitant levies on merchants.
The faith identity that the Houthi militia is talking about has become a ready pretext for all its repressive practices against society in its areas of control to determine what is allowed and what is forbidden to do according to its extremist ideas.
Practices that included all sectors of life in the areas of its control and included all segments of society with the aim of killing all aspects of life in it, and reshaping it with its own character.
During the past months, the group began implementing repressive measures that led to an almost total ban on reviving women’s and men’s wedding parties through bands and artists in most of the governorates under its control such as Amran, Al Mahwit, Hajjah and Sana’a, after it imposed this in Saada since its control over it in 2011.
The group is currently seeking to impose this in the capital, Sanaa, but the overwhelming presence of art in it makes it difficult, so the group gradually resorted to a complete ban, as it recently issued decisions setting the times for reviving wedding parties so that they do not exceed 7 pm for women’s parties and 10 pm For men, the halls are then closed.
Through all these measures, the Houthi group aims to perpetuate its fighting culture by forcing society to limit the revival of their occasions to its chant known as “Zamel” to charge members of society with a culture of fighting and war, instead of a culture of love and peace.
Despite this, the efforts of the Houthi group face fierce resistance from society in its areas of control, and this emerged clearly with the announcement of the legitimate government on the first of July as a day for Yemeni song every year, and it was remarkable the interaction with the idea through social media and from within the Houthi group’s areas .
The interaction reflected a message of defiance by society to resist the attempts of the Houthi group to form it according to its perspective and project based on violence and the slogan of death that it has raised in the face of Yemenis since 2004 until today.
