The pro-Houthi militias Mohammed Hussein al-Maqdashi, who was the governor of Dhamar province so far refuses to take up his new job appointed by the Houthi militias in the Ministry of Labor. According to sources
The Houthi leader and the head of the so-called political council, which is controlled by militias, Mahdi al-Mashat issued a decision on September 11, appointing Mohammed Hussein al-Maqdashi as deputy minister of social affairs and labor, which al-Maqdashi considered it an insult against him, and an expression of the bias of the Houthi leaders to his opponents who stood against him and demanded his removal from Governor of Dhamar.
Al-Maqdashi stopped practicing his duties as governor of Dhamar, and he retired in Sana'a two months ago due to disagreements between him and Houthi supervisor in the province called Fadhil Al-Sharqi (Abu Aqeel) because of Fadhel interventions and his insistence on confiscating the powers of the governor and interfering in the work of state institutions and agencies, especially the revenue institutions, and in the decisions of appointment of officials, and the suspension of directives and orders of the governor, which Makdashi considered a confiscation of his powers, and decided to retreat.
Sources explained that al-Maqdashi demanded the leadership of the Houthi militias to appoint him to the post of governor in another governorate, or to one of the central state institutions, where he was demanding his appointment as head of the General Authority for Tribal Affairs in which the militias appointed Haneen Qatina, who was governor of Sana'a.
The sources confirmed that the removal of Qutina and al-Muqdashi from their posts as governors of Sana'a and Dhamar comes within the framework of efforts by Houthi militias to make changes to a number of governors of governorates and the exclusion of some governors affiliated to the conference in the framework of these changes and the appointment of leaders loyal to them.
