Sanaa, NewsYemen, exclusive:
In the wake of the protests of what was known as the price dose of (1,000) Yemeni riyals in fuel prices and the slogans of easing the burdens on citizens, the Houthi militia came to make Yemenis taste the scourge of the price dose, inflict on them all kinds of suffering, and turn their lives into hell.
By September 2023, the famous Houthi dose lie will have entered its ninth year, while the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - still believes its lie and deceives public opinion for a year by claiming to achieve the aspirations of what it describes as (the Yemeni people) from its ill-fated coup in September 2014.
With the cessation of military operations by the Arab coalition forces, the continued flow of ships of oil derivatives and foodstuffs to the port of Hodeidah, and the resumption of civil aviation flights through Sanaa Airport, the Houthi militia evaded the entitlements of the truce, from reducing prices, disbursing employee salaries, and providing health, education, electricity, and water services, to initiating verbal wars. Fake battles, mobilization and mobilization for spectacle and political events with sectarian and sectarian dimensions, under loose consumer slogans that are no less deceptive than the lie of the dose itself.
Today, 9 years after its biggest lie, the Houthi militia continues to mislead public opinion and deceive its followers - so to speak - by claiming to open and lay the foundation stone for hundreds of projects as alleged achievements, if it is true to call it whitewashing sidewalks, supplying machinery, restoring walls, installing energy panels, training workshops and seminars, projects and achievements for news headlines.
