Sana'a, NewsYemen, exclusive:
The Iranian-backed Houthi militia's efforts continue to obliterate everything that expresses the republican identity of Yemeni society, and to replace it with a dynastic heritage with an Iranian suit, as the group recently removed the memory of the glorious September 26 revolution from its general plan for school activities.
In addition to the measures it imposed to get rid of the symbolism of the Republic of Yemen, Iran's arm created 17 different sectarian and racist occasions to perpetuate its dynastic project, including Ghadir Day and Wilayat Day, and other occasions that it copied from the Iranian model that the Yemenis reject.
At a time when the Houthi militia is working to create a new perception of the Yemeni identity, observers considered the group's actions an explicit expression of the dynastic nature of the Houthi movement, and its ambition to restore the legacy of the imams that the Yemenis jumped on with the September 26 revolution.
Sectarian strategy
Since the coup of Iran's arm against the government, and its control of state institutions with the coup of September 21, 2014 , it has worked to mine the national identity with a dynastic sectarian discourse that aims to build a base to eliminate everything that connects society with its revolutionary history against the Imamate, and to build new perceptions through which it paves the way for the consolidation of its racist project.
In this context, the journalist and political analyst, Abdul Wasea Al-Fataki, says: "Within the framework of the sectarian and dynastic strategy pursued by the Houthi militia in its relentless efforts to change the Yemeni national identity, the Houthi militia has committed a series of national violations."
In the context of his interview with "Newsyemen", Al-Fataki believes that what he described as national violations: "targets the Yemeni national and social constants, through its relentless pursuit of the culture of education and changing its national philosophy by changing the school curricula, in line with its dynastic sectarian ideas."
He pointed out that: "The group is keen to falsify the national awareness of the younger generations, and obliterate what is related to the revolutionary history of the Yemenis against the imamate, of which the Houthi militia is an ugly extension."
He added: "The blatant attack by the Houthi militia on the history of the revolution of September 26, 1962 , by deleting its celebration from its general plan for school activities, and creating 17 sectarian and racist events clearly indicates the Houthi militia's insistence on canceling everything related to struggle and struggle." The Yemenis against the Imami dynastic priesthood from the national memory, to return the Yemenis to the house of his obedience described limit.
Al-Fataki believes that by: "Houthi militias replacing their racist and sectarian events with the Yemeni national events, they are devoting themselves as a dynastic militia faction that is completely contrary to the national thought and the Yemeni identity and completely contrary to the republican national gains for which the Yemenis have sacrificed for a long time."
He pointed out that the group's project: "makes the Yemenis face a historical and national mission, to defend the republic and the principles of the Yemeni revolution, and to preserve the republican Yemen from the dynastic, priestly, militia threat, and its disastrous effects on the present and future of the Yemenis."
The Houthi movement targets the Yemeni school to pass its racist discourse and consolidate its dynastic model, by distorting the curricula, establishing summer and mobilization centers, working on brainwashing the young, and replacing the Yemeni revolutionary symbols with dynastic and imami symbols.
Revolutionary nutrition
In order to confront what observers consider to be a Houthi attempt to eliminate the symbolism of the Republic of Yemen and to get rid of the revolutionary anniversary of the glorious September 26, they stress the importance of enhancing social awareness of the importance of preserving their revolutionary heritage against the greed of the dynasties.
In this context, journalist Salah al-Jundi believes that Yemenis cannot preserve their revolutionary identity unless the government works to nurture their awareness, which the Houthi group has harnessed all its energies to distort and fill.
Al-Jundi said, in the context of his interview with "Newsyemen": "Iran's arm will not leave anything that reminds the Yemeni people of its rejection of the Salafis, especially as it seeks to establish itself as the legitimate heir to the imams whom the Yemenis got rid of in the September 26 revolution."
He pointed out that: "The Houthi movement's strategy depends on mining the mass awareness of the Yemenis, with new concepts aimed at erasing everything related to popular rejection against its rule or the racist dynasty, and therefore a counter-discourse must arise based on exposing the group's goals and aspirations."
He stressed the importance of: "Intensifying media campaigns exposing the Houthi militia and its non-patriotic goals, in addition to taking strict measures against organizations and parties supporting the Houthi militia to print distorted school curricula, such as UNICEF."
He concluded by saying: "The government must put pressure politically and diplomatically, by refraining from responding to any international and regional efforts to sit with the Houthi militia and negotiate any files while the group continues to roam society, given that what the Houthi militia is practicing is a great danger that would tarnish the future of the country.”
