Yemenis welcomed the 2020 New Year with extraordinary optimism, pinning hopes that would change their lives relatively, but in the first third of January, it quickly became mixed with disasters not seen since the Houthi coup and his rebellion against the government in September 2014.
The first disaster sought by the Houthi coup militias, Iran's arm in Yemen, was to disrupt the country's web performance and create flimsy excuses to cover up the real causes that have led to its recent deterioration and disruption to some areas.
While no international sources have revealed the real causes of the collapse of the Internet in Yemen, the Houthi-controlled news agency said the service collapse was caused by a malfunction in one of the cables serviced outside the country, which was displeased with by experts and revealed other matters related to the group's monopoly on service and its estimates, whose estimates exceed experts' perceptions.
Of all the provinces of the Republic affected by the interruption and deterioration of the Internet, hadramout province in the south-east of the country was the worst and most affected, as many companies in the province stopped working, resulting in the use of satellite internet via satellite, despite its high cost, in order to avoid total departure from service.
The collapse of the Internet in some Yemeni provinces, including Hadramaut province, has hampered many of its users, particularly university students, who rely heavily on it to prepare the requirements of the educational process and communicate through it with the outside world.
Local technicians had revealed that the internet's departure and collapse in Yemen within days was not the result of the coup d'état's reasons, arguing that they were mere excuses that had nothing to do with the truth and would be disclosed in the future.
According to news reports by Newsymen and widely circulated by local activists, the unrecognized "Government of Sana'a" has given the international internet network only three days to pay off its debt.
According to the reports, the debt is estimated at $150 million, and while it cannot be repaid on time, the remaining 20% of internet will be cut off.
