Dhamar, NewsYemen, Private:
Informed sources revealed new changes that included the supervisors of the terrorist Houthi militia stationed at the checkpoints linking the main roads in the various directorates of Dhamar Governorate.
The supervisors and members of the Houthi militia at the checkpoints are accustomed to detaining commercial transport trucks and fuel tankers, and they refuse to allow them to pass unless they pay levies for that.
Sources close to the militia told NewsYemen that supreme directives were issued by the militia leadership to Houthi supervisors at a number of checkpoints in the main lines linking districts in the governorate capital to hand over the points to a number of new supervisors.
The sources pointed out that the changes came after the former supervisors reached the stage of self-sufficiency and collected large sums of money in their favor, in addition to the money they impose as illegal levies and royalties on drivers of various commercial trucks and fuel tankers that pass and move on the main roads linking the districts of Dhamar and its city of the same name.
It pointed out that the Houthi changes aim to stir up the stagnant water within the framework of the so-called activation of the mujahideen and push the former supervisors and their members estimating corruption to support their fighters on the battlefronts
It noted that strict instructions obligated the former supervisors to move to the battlefronts with their members, with the aim of including them in their preparations for the military escalation on the Marib fronts, coinciding with the "fragile" armistice announced by the United Nations for a period of two months.
The sources indicated that a number of former supervisors refused to hand over the checkpoints to the new supervisors until after paying an amount exceeding one and a half million riyals to each previous supervisor of the point, that is, to buy the point with all its obligations and revenues from illegal daily collection as is customary in the sale and purchase of real estate and shops.
Checkpoints belonging to the Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, along the long lines in Dhamar, impose financial levies on commercial trucks and fuel tankers, which prompts merchants to raise prices more than once, which negatively affects the citizen and weighs heavily on his shoulders in light of the difficult living conditions experienced by most of the families residing in areas under the control of the coup.
