The Houthi militia, the Iranian arm, has been working to spread the culture of Iranian Shiite thought and to obliterate the comprehensive Yemeni identity at an accelerating pace for years, at the same time seeking to complete the circle of encircling the “political borders” of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from all directions; Which the kingdom ignores, knowingly or unknowingly.
The events in Yemen have emerged in a way that upset many balances of power, and sent dangerous messages on all levels, especially the direct threat to the Arab Gulf states. There is a high probability that the "Shiite Crescent" will be resurrected from nowhere, which has become a reality walking on the ground after controlling most of the geography of the north in Yemen.
And to talk about any conflict at the present time, the concepts that are being marketed according to their natural contexts must be understood as a basic entry point to know what is going on, since the collapse of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1990 until the period of (Condoleezza Rice); The godmother of "creative chaos" in the Middle East 2008.
There are also important concepts such as "the balance of power in international relations", "the decision-making mechanism", "external influences", "the environment surrounding the region", "globalization", the integration of power and, most importantly, unipolarity.
It is also necessary to understand the factors of strength and weakness in any region or system, and how countries with a colonial dimension play a role that constitutes a kind of service and achieves different goals, as is the case today between Iran - Israel - America - Turkey on the one hand, and the Arabs on the other hand.
extensive breaches
Iran was able through its two arms in the region: Hezbollah and Ansar Allah (Houthis); Achieving long-term strategic dimensions, which did not cross the minds of many, except for the planner himself.
Today, it has become the first soldier who fights with all his military, political, cultural and religious weight, after it worked to eliminate all opposing forces, in a humiliating manner, specifically in the Republic of Yemen.
And the Iranian project in general was clearly linked to murder, arms smuggling, support for extremist groups, drug sales, and the deployment of experts... which made it easier for him in a short period of time to impose the agenda and achieve many serious violations.
How did the disaster begin?
From Saada Governorate, a group launched under the cover of "The Believing Youth" before turning into the Houthi "Ansar Allah" with the support of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Iran's arm in the region.
The rebellion against the state began and the area of confrontation expanded until the "scream" erupted from inside the Great Mosque in the "Old Sana'a" area, which represents a historical symbol for the country, and its mosque represents an unusual religious symbol.
The state fought armed confrontations, later called the "six wars", after which the group's leader, Hussein al-Houthi, was killed in 2004 AD.
The confrontations stopped, but the group's escalation had taken an (internationally) dimension, as mediations and an attempt to accommodate the group began. As a component of the Yemeni scene, things went in an unreassuring manner until the so-called “Arab Spring” revolutions came, which gave legitimacy to the group by going deeper into society with continued support from Iran.
2014 protests
In late 2014, protests took place in Airport Street, north of the capital, Sanaa, calling for the rejection of the price dose of “oil derivatives” approved by the government of Muhammad Salem Basindawa, a trap that the militia set for the country with regional and international support to topple the rest of the regime.
It was preceded by the dispatch of the United Nations, Jamal Ben Omar, who later facilitated the task of controlling the capital, in a scenario that is the most dangerous for a country that suffers from many problems. A sectarian and racist militia jumped to the scene in the absence of all political forces.
While the "National Dialogue" conference was proceeding at the Movenpick Hotel, al-Houthi was engaged in armed confrontations and devoured villages and districts, until he reached the "Amran" border governorate with Sanaa and its main gate from the northern side.
The coup happened as everyone watched it, amid the announcement of the first statement and a political council, and the President of the Republic was besieged in his home, and the countdown began to overthrow the rest of the cities.
The obliteration of the Yemeni identity
For its expansionist ambitions, Iran seeks to obliterate the identity of the society it lays hands on and replace it with a new identity that takes into account its future interests, the most important of which is the spread of "Shiism" on the widest scale.
Elham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, says: After Iran tried to threaten his country, "Azerbaijan itself determines the levels on which it will establish relations with other countries. What is happening today is a defense of human existence."
He adds, "But we must move to defending cultural existence, as does the Palestinian people who are facing cultural genocide carried out by the Zionists. We will not reach this stage until we understand that Iran's agents are working to annihilate us culturally and uproot our historical identity."
With this proposition, it is necessary to understand what Iran and its tools represent in the region, so that the peoples can defend their identity, because what is happening today in most areas of northern Yemen, by the Houthi militia; A blurring of identity and a clear tampering with the social fabric.
Dedicating cultural courses
The cultural courses devoted by Iran’s arm in Yemen are a result of changing the curricula at the basic and university levels. Part of the process of obliterating identity, and an entrance to the oppression and displacement of people, which is an aspect of imposing Shiism.
Researcher Hamdan Al-Ali says: "What Yemenis have been subjected to for years is ethnic and sectarian cleansing at the hands of Iranian agents. The problem is that many Yemenis do not dare to speak about these crimes openly, and for this reason Al-Houthi continues to exterminate them culturally and physically."
Education was bombed, the young generation filled with superstitions, and subjected to intensive cultural courses; And pushing them to isolated camps, this comes before they are directed to the battle fronts.
All the governorates of Sa’ada, Amran, Hajjah, Al Mahwit, Dhamar, Al Hudaydah, Al Bayda, and large parts of Ma’rib, Al Jawf, Taiz, Al Dhale’, and finally Shabwa; It is controlled ideologically, militarily and politically by the Houthi militia.
Recently, it published a list of the (18) occasions that the militia is supposed to celebrate throughout the year, not including any national occasion, they are all sectarian and serve the Iranian project.
