The Houthi coup militia, in Sanaa and the areas under its control, forced imams of mosques to open loudspeakers in an effort to compel citizens to listen to the speech of its leader.

Local sources told NewsYemen that the Houthi militia forced the imams of mosques in Sanaa, on Friday, to open the loudspeakers to broadcast a rallying speech for its leader, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, on the occasion of what it called the "National Day of Resilience", which marks the eighth anniversary of the start of the war and the raids of the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia.  In Yemen, the Houthi militia, the arm of Iran, took power in Sanaa on September 21, 2014.

The sources pointed out that the militia has recently installed dozens of loudspeakers in a number of tours, main streets, institutions, government buildings, popular markets and residential neighborhoods in Sana'a and a number of cities under its control, with the aim of broadcasting enthusiastic Houthi jihadists directed at young people and adolescents that glorify and praise the killing and deliberately beautify the fighting.  Its ranks, and the deceived people in its ranks, pushed them to death in its absurd battles, in addition to broadcasting the daily evening lectures of its terrorist leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi during the month of Ramadan every year.

The Houthi militia aims to compulsorily deliver the speeches of its leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and broadcast its sectarian programs and obscurantist ideas through which it is trying to brainwash citizens and promote its culture, which is called, in vain, the “Quranic march,” especially after the citizens’ reluctance to attend its sectarian sessions in light of the growing popular discontent and rejection against it amid accusations  The population has created crises, high prices, and the continuation of its tax campaigns, which exacerbate their suffering.

And last year, the Houthi militia forced imams of mosques in Sanaa and other cities under its control to install television screens, with the aim of broadcasting the words of the group’s leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, which are broadcast at night after Tarawih prayers during the blessed month of Ramadan, and obligated them to open loudspeakers during those speeches.

In light of these barbaric practices, many citizens prefer to abandon the mosques and be satisfied with praying in their homes as a result of the actions and measures taken by the Houthis in the houses of God and pushing them to the mosques to force the worshipers to stay in the mosques, to listen to Houthi speeches and chew qat and turn some of them into a popular dance scene for its members, in addition to imposing its lectures  Sectarian preachers imposed by force of arms.

This comes within the increasing attacks of the Houthi militias on mosques and their sectarianization in favor of their destructive project that targets the identity and culture of the Yemeni people.
