The Yemeni MP in the Sana'a Parliament affiliated with the Houthi group, "Ansar Allah", Ahmed Saif Hashid, accused the group of excluding and repressing those who are not loyal to or criticizing the group's policies, noting that its actions may lead to widening society's rejection of it and the formation of rival centers of power within the group itself.
Hashid said, in an interview with “Sputnik” agency, commenting on the situation in Sana’a, that “the group’s closing in on itself will lead to its shrinkage and the widening of society’s rejection of it. She is the best, then she saw through reality and policies that she is no different from others.”
The parliamentarian considered that "this closure will certainly lead to the emergence of centers of power in the group, and the intensification of contradictions, and then inter-conflicts within the group itself."
Hashed commented on the recent speech of the leader of the Houthi group, in which he threatened those he called infiltrators in Parliament, and the consequences of such a trend at the top of the leadership pyramid of the "Ansar Allah" group, and his reading of the speech, saying: "It is not important how we read it, but the most important thing is how it will be implemented.. I think that the application will fall within the framework of substitution that is being practiced at the level of all authorities and agencies in Sana’a.. This is consistent with the policy of empowerment, and as long as empowerment continues, exclusivity and exclusivity in governance will increase, and we have seen this and we still see it today.
The Yemeni MP added: "We have seen something like this before... and it is still taking place in stages with different titles, but it falls within the framework of replacement and replacement. The replacement is still going on in all frameworks of agencies and authorities; Corruption, or this is what is really going on.”
He stressed that "the criteria of loyalty [to the Houthi group] have become the actors, and they are the first to be taken into consideration at the expense of all criteria, and they will also take place in most of them at the expense of those who have a position, opinion, or point of view toward the group."
The deputy stressed that “the suppression of the other opinion outside the group will not lead to stopping the contradictions between it and society, but will also lead to the revival of other methods in the group motivated by the growth of personal ambitions or towards them, the emergence of inter-conspiracies, and perhaps coups or the intensification and explosion of conflicts between its centers of power, and perhaps Some of them will find someone who finances and supports it secretly or openly from the outside in a way that hastens its explosion if its timing is beyond the foreseeable future.”
At the same time, he noted that this "also will not stop the group's contradictions with society outside it, especially since there is a widening of exclusion, a multiplication of grievances, an encroachment of corruption and an increase in oppression."
As for the possibility of the MP being prosecuted by the authorities in Sana’a for criticizing their policies, Hashid said, “I live in Sanaa in a situation that resembles a suicide.. This is my situation now in an authoritarian environment that accepts me today with patience and bitterness, and he will certainly not be able to do more in the future.. And others will not survive.” As long as the targeting expands in favor of loyalty to the group and the group only, and no other."
On the other hand, the Yemeni parliamentarian pointed out that the situation in the areas under the control of the legitimate government is not better, saying that "the de facto authorities that we see today are no less than the Ansar Allah group, exclusion, possession and corruption, and in addition to it a frightening dependence on the outside, and in a way that seems ready to provide all Concessions abroad in exchange for its survival and support, even if this is done at the expense of the land, sovereignty, unity and major interests of Yemen.
