Over the past five years, particularly since the Houthi militias, the Iranian arm in Yemen, seized the capital Sana'a and state institutions on September 21, 2014, the capital Sana'a and militia control areas have witnessed the implementation of a doctrinal, political and cultural project reflecting the realities of extremist ideology carried by the Houthi militias and racist ideology.  The separatist political project, the full subordination of the Iranian revolution and its system based on velayat-e faqih.

Over the past years, Houthi militias have been implementing a project based on two concepts: the first, the racist concept.  The second is the regional separatist concept, especially with regard to appointments and replacements of its elements in the leadership of state institutions and facilities, or with regard to the commercial and private sector.

Over the years of their control over the authority and state institutions led the Houthi militia leaders to implement appointments for their leaders and elements in the various military and civilian institutions of the state.  Among his brothers and cousins   and granted them important positions in state institutions, most notably in the ministries, such as: Education, Interior, and Intelligence, and granted the right to nominate those close to them to be appointed to the revenue institutions, such as: oil, communications, taxes and  The company's oil and gas company Customs.

In addition to the process of appointments to state institutions, relatives and close associates of the Houthi militia leader and his relatives were granted the right to assume the positions of supervisors in ministries and government institutions, a position that is the most important and most influential and authority in making decisions on the work of these institutions and the disposal of their funds and budgets.

The followers of the Houthi militia recruitment movement find that there is a process based on racist concepts, where members of the Hashemite families are appointed to important positions on one hand, and affiliates to the governorate of Saada, the birthplace of the militia leader, are also granted the right to appoint to important positions both at the central level.  Or at the executive level in the local authorities of the provinces.


Although the Houthi militias in the early years of their control to show acceptance and assimilation of the other through the appointment of some persons outside the affiliated to the Hashemite families, or through the appointment of some affiliated to the Hashemite families of the sons of non-Saada provinces, but this quickly changed,  Where all the unaffiliated leaders of the Hashemites were excluded, then the Hashemites from the other governorates were excluded and replaced with Hashemite elements and elements belonging to Saada Governorate.


The examples given by the Houthi militias are many, as everyone remembers how the marginalized leader Mohammed al-Qir'i was appointed as a member of the so-called Supreme Revolutionary Committee before he was isolated and excluded in a disgraceful manner. Houthi media reported that he was arrested while drinking alcohol.  The exclusion of leaders affiliated with the Hashemites from non-Sa'da governorate, as in the case of Abdul Hafiz al-Saqqaf from Ibb governorate, which led the Houthi militias to use force against him and accused him of rebellion against the state, and killed some of his companions before all his affiliates in the governorate of Ibb were excluded and an alternative was appointed.  Leader  Militias from the sons of Saada province.

Some Houthi leaders from Sa'ada governorate were also given the right to invest some state funds and property and endowments, as an example, transforming the Armed Forces Officers Club and the Police Officers Club into two entertainment projects leased to Houthi leaders from Sa'ada.
