Ibb, NewsYemen, private:
The terrorist Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, wages a daily war in every direction at the expense of the citizen's livelihood and livelihood, without taking into account the simplest circumstances.
Recently, it doubled its control in Ibb governorate, where it devised a new method based on monopolizing some imports that were not monopolized, for the benefit of certain leaders, so that they can control prices and blackmail the citizen.
According to activist Ibrahim Ashqin, the militias even restricted the import of dates to the Al-Yusr Foundation, which is affiliated with one of its leaders in the governorate.
He said, they have come to prevent any owner of a debt or a transport vehicle coming from Saudi lands from carrying more than twenty cartons that pass from benefactors or others.
He stressed that there are decisions to prevent any import or transfer except through the agent, and if any quantity is found, it is presented to the officials of the Houthi Ministry of Agriculture and obligated to buy the same number of date cartons from that institution.
Which was considered by many of those concerned to come within the framework of gangs' occupation, just like the black market for gas and oil derivatives and other materials that are terrifyingly active within the governorate, in light of security chaos and widespread corruption.
Citizens and some families have previously complained about the militia restricting many humanitarian and charitable activities, including the distribution of alms that were carried out by merchants to poor families, whether food or in-kind items and even Eid clothes, not to mention the manipulation of aid delivered by relief organizations.
The governorate suffers from a state of extreme poverty that emerges from time to time through the high crime rate and suicides, in addition to the spread of beggars in the city’s streets and on the main roads, and the suffering of state employees in the health, educational and even university sectors.
