Fearful Houthis: Coup militias increasing repression, preventing uprising of Yemenis

Every day, the Yemenis, under the control of the coup group in Sana'a, come with more abuses by the terrorist group of killing, displacing, obtaining funds by force, controlling all state institutions, as well as forcing the Yemeni Houthi militia to join them to participate in their terrorist acts.

Houthis are trying to tighten their grip on the Yemenis and their minds, so as not to revolt against them and this is what scares Houthi coup militia the most. Local  media quoted one of the leaders of Houthi as saying, "The situation is not reassuring, and if people turn against us we can not stop them."

The statement came after Houthi Central Security vehicles were deployed on all streets of Sanaa because of a state of alert in Sanaa, amid Houthi fears of unrest and public demonstrations against militias, prompting the Houthis to take strict security measures in the capital.

Demonstrations against the Houthis

Since the Houthi takeover of Sana'a in 2014, it has emerged from the ranks of the people, in a joint statement, that these demonstrations are a driving force for the absence of the state and the presence of armed militias in the capital and cities.

In February of that same year, thousands of Yemenis staged a demonstration in Sana'a to denounce the Houthi constitutional declaration and demand their exit from Sanaa, preserve the decisions of the local authority and not deal with the decisions of the capital Sanaa until the return of legitimacy to Yemen.

In December 2017, huge rallies were launched in the streets of Sana'a against the Houthi militias with the slogan "Houthis after Today" and "Zero Hour is approaching." In October last year, dozens of women staged an anti-coup demonstration at Sana'a University in protest against the poor living conditions in pthe country, holding the Iranian-backed militia responsible.

There are several reasons for the discontent of the Yemeni people from the Houthi coup militia, including the insulting of the Yemeni terrorist members, forcibly seizing their money, arresting and abducting some of them, threatening others with death, in addition to the poor economic situation in Sana'a, as well as extortion of merchants.

Houthi's apprehension

For his part, a researcher specializing in the affairs of Islamic movements Hisham Najjar said that it is possible to launch a popular revolution in Yemen against this blatant intervention led by the Houthi militia, which has a disastrous impact on the life of the Yemeni simple citizen.

Najjar said in a statement to the Reference that this is due to the Arab situation in general, where it is witnessing a movement against the projects of political Islam, whether Sunni or Shiite and whether it is a direct rule of political Islam; as happened in the Egyptian revolution against the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood and the gradual movement in Turkey against Erdogan.

Al-Najjar pointed out that what threatens Al-Houthi at the present time is an uprising that started in Lebanon. There is a state of anger on the Shiite Hezbollah, which is loyal to Iran and its contribution in disrupting the course of government and administration and obstructing the work of the government in favor of sectarian accounts and mainly for the benefit of Iran.
