Al Mahwit, NewsYemen, Private:
Local sources in Al-Mahwit Governorate confirmed the refusal of sheikhs, social figures and citizens to respond to the measures taken by the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, related to the mobilization of fighters to the fronts, which began to be implemented since the beginning of last week.
The sources told NewsYemen that the sheikhs, social figures and citizens who met with leaders of the Houthi militia, among the executive officials who were distributed by the militias to the governorates and directorates to implement the campaign to mobilize the fighters, rejected the demands of mobilizing young fighters to send them to the fronts, justifying that that they had already mobilized thousands of young men and sent them to the fronts. And that most of them, if not all of them, were killed in the battles, so many of them that their families were unable to obtain their bodies, and it was sufficient to inform them that their sons (martyred) according to the allegations of the militias.
According to the sources, the militia leaders offered the sons of Mahwit to send their sons to the fighting fronts in exchange for giving each family 500,000 riyals, and ensuring that each fighter receives a monthly salary and expenses while he is on the front. In addition to receiving a large sum of money in the event of his death. And ensuring the care of his family, noting that these offers were rejected by the people of Mahwit who attended the mobilization meetings at the governorate and district levels, stressing that they did not trust the promises of the militias that had previously reneged on their previous promises to those who mobilized fighters and sent them to the fronts.
The sources add: The sons of Al-Mahwit responded to the militia leaders that most of the young families in the governorate were forced to either travel abroad for alienation, or go to search for work in other Yemeni cities in order to obtain a living for their families, especially families that depended on the salary of the head of the family and the salary of some of their children.
According to the sources, the Al-Mahwit sheikhs and those present at those meetings received threats from the Houthi militia supervisors for their refusal to respond to their demands to mobilize the fighters, stressing that it is the first time that the militia leaders have returned empty-handed of their mobilization movements after the governorate was one of the most important governorates that responded to sending fighters to the Houthis ranks.
