The statements and tweets of Muhammad Ali al-Houthi always turn into a subject for jokes and ridicule among Yemenis, due to the opinions and ideas he presents that reflect a great deal of naivety and superficiality on the part of the man who did not complete his primary education, and who suddenly found himself a leader in the first row of the Iranian arm in Yemen. Since its coup in the fall of 2014.
The former head of the Revolutionary Committee often tried to appear as a competitor to the leader of the militia, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, taking advantage of his kinship with him, but the latter rectified the matter and worked to marginalize his cousin, reduce his influence, and remove him from the political front, after canceling his revolutionary committee, and pushing him to play a secondary role in Head of a committee concerned with looting citizens' lands, claiming that they are "state lands."
Despite the huge money and wealth that Muhammad al-Houthi accumulated, from looting and trafficking in lands, his love of appearing always prompted him to remind him of his presence in political affairs, with statements and tweets from time to time, making him a subject for jokes and ridicule on social networking sites and in the conversations of Yemenis in their councils.
Recently, after he was surprised by the size of the citizens' celebrations this year of the 60th anniversary of the glorious September 26 revolution, in the governorates under the control and dominance of their terrorist militias, Muhammad al-Houthi came out with a statement claiming that "the September revolution is Zaidi."
That is what observers mocked at, because the Houthis abandoned the moderate Zaidi sect for many years, and embraced the Persian Twelver doctrine after they became vassal to Iran, moving them to serve its destructive project in Yemen. Those who were dismissed by the militia, after they continued to control high positions in the north, after the revolution of September 26, 1962 until the catastrophe of September 21, 2014.
The writer and political historian Salem Ayesh says that the history written about the September 1962 revolution was falsified and its secrets were not published, and among the secrets that were not published is that the revolution was carried out by the Shafi`s, especially the sons of Taiz and Hodeidah, and was not carried out by the people of the Zaydi regions.
Ayesh adds that Al-Sallal, Al-Jaifi, Jazelan and his patience robbed the revolution on the second day of its establishment, and that Radio Sana’a throughout its broadcast on Thursday, September 26, 1962, was repeating the army command’s statement of the fall of the monarchy and the establishment of the republic, without mentioning the leadership council or its head, except on the next day Friday, where it mentioned in some of its publications the Sovereignty Council, not the Leadership Council.
He points out that Radio London mentioned in its news bulletins on the night of the revolution, the name of Muhammad Ali Othman as the head of the Sovereignty Council, and did not mention the name of Al-Sallal, and the Lebanese newspapers, including Al-Nahar newspaper, published a story on September 27, 1962, about a “military coup in Yemen and Muhammad Ali Othman’s assumption of Presidency of the Sovereignty Council.
Salem Ayesh adds that some personalities in Sana’a have convinced the revolutionaries that if Shafi’i takes over the leadership, the revolution will fall, and its fate will be the fate of the 1948 revolution, and that Abd al-Salam’s patience came to the revolutionaries with the news of Abdullah al-Sallal’s approval to lead the revolution, on the pretext of ensuring the support of the Zaydi collar Sana’a tribes For the revolution, the president was a Zaidi, and accordingly Abdullah al-Sallal was installed as Chairman of the Leadership Council, instead of Muhammad Ali Othman, the owner of Taiz al-Shafi’i.
Further falsifying history, Muhammad al-Houthi claims that the Nakba of September 21, 2014, is an extension of the September 26 revolution that took place in 1962 against the injustice, ignorance and backwardness sanctified by his sectarian dynasty with Zaidi roots.
