Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, commander of the terrorist Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen, said: The rise in prices has caused the suffering of many families, who are now unable to buy the necessary food, ignoring his group's looting of the salaries of the heads of these families.
In public fabrications, al-Houthi considered his broken cylinder (siege and aggression) as reasons for the high prices, and what he described as international developments and the policies of the former regime, ignoring the results of the series of price doses approved by his group since September 2014, on fuel, which had an impact on the prices of food commodities, transport wages, electricity tariffs and services Health, education and all aspects of life.
Al-Houthi’s speech about the price hike came in conjunction with his approval of a new price dose that raised the price of a domestic gas cylinder in Sanaa and its neighboring governorates, from 4,500 riyals to 8,350 riyals, days before the month of Ramadan.
Since the Houthi militia took over state institutions, the suffering of Yemenis began with its series of price doses in fuel prices over the past 8 years, during which the price of a 20-liter can of gasoline jumped from 4,000 riyals in 2014, to 16,000 riyals in (closed) filling stations, and to nearly 40 thousand riyals for the same amount in a profitable (white) market for the Houthis.
In a speech, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi spoke about what he described as (the tampering that is taking place inside, whether from the merchant or some officials) as one of the reasons he allegedly caused the price hike, ignoring his group’s looting of tax, customs and zakat revenues, and imposing illegal royalties and levies on Residents and workers in the commercial sector on various occasions with sectarian and sectarian dimensions.
While it is an implicit support for the price doses in fuel prices, and a blessing for the continued looting of state revenues and employee salaries, and an encouragement for his group to continue imposing levies on citizens, Al-Houthi ignored all these direct reasons for the rise in prices, contenting himself with the “Ministry of Industry and Trade, and provincial officials, to confront the effects of the siege conditions.” and international variables.
Since its coup against state institutions, the Houthi militia has monopolized the import of oil derivatives for a limited group of its leaders, who were keen to convert oil derivatives into a commodity for illicit enrichment, in contrast to the slogans the group carried to pass its coup, represented in rejecting the price doses of oil derivatives and considering them fatal doses for the Yemeni people.
Parliamentary reports revealed earlier, that the leadership of the Houthi coup militia looted more than 60 billion riyals in one year from the state’s public revenues, in addition to their continued looting of six billion and three hundred million riyals per month from the difference in selling oil derivatives.
