Legitimacy, which announces daily the number of cases of infection.
The policy of concealment and extreme secrecy practiced by the Houthi militia is a continuation of the way it dealt with the spread of the virus last year and its entry into various Yemeni regions, including the capital, Sanaa, and the rest of the areas controlled by the militias, as the latter deliberately concealed information about the spread of the virus and the real statistics of the number of people infected and dead due to the virus, and used The method of deception has not even issued any official data from the Houthi health authorities about the true numbers that have contracted the virus or died as a result of infection with it since the first cases of infection appeared in Yemen in general and in the capital, Sana'a in particular.
Hiding the fact that the head of the militia government was infected with the virus
In addition, while informed and medical sources confirm to NewsYemen, that the Prime Minister of the government under the control of the Houthi militia, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Habtoor is currently lying in a hospital in the capital as a result of his infection with the Covid 19 virus, the militias deliberately concealed any information about his situation, which would not have been known without the leaking of news from government sources Close to Ibn Habtoor for some private news sites.
The sources refused to disclose more information about the health condition of the head of the militia government, saying only that he was receiving treatment due to his infection with the Coronavirus.
According to the sources, the militia leaders in the intelligence apparatus have directed the official media under their control, especially the Saba Agency, the Houthi version not to publish any information or news related to the illness of Prime Minister Bin Habtoor, or any news about the spread of Covid-19 cases or death as a result of it, regardless of its source, under the pretext that This will cause confusion and fear, and will negatively affect the operations of mobilizing fighters to the fronts on the one hand, and affect the activities and events that the militias will organize in conjunction with the anniversary of the launch of Decisive Storm by the coalition countries against the militias on March 26.
The advance of the test date is due to the spread of Corona
In a related context, the Ministry of Education, which is under the control of the militias, announced the advancement of the date of the transfer exams for primary and secondary education, starting from next week and the next after these tests were scheduled to take place after the end of the blessed month of Ramadan.
Sources in the Ministry of Education, led by the brother of the militia leader, Yahya Badr al-Din al-Houthi, told NewsYemen: The decision taken by the leaders of the Houthi militias to advance the date for the exams comes as a result of their fear of the increasing cases of infection with the Coronavirus in the capital Sanaa and their areas of control amid extreme secrecy by the militia leaders and complete concealment. For any information regarding the spread of infections.
According to the sources, the Ministry justified its decision to school administrations as a response to their demands to provide exams before the month of Ramadan, during which the first days of which will witness the continuation of transfer tests for secondary education classes, while the truth is that the decision was based on health information about the escalation of cases of infection with the Covid 19 virus.
Activists on social media had announced that their children were prevented from going to schools as a self-precautionary measure by them as a result of the spread of cases of Coronavirus, indicating that their decision was caused by the state of secrecy, secrecy, neglect and indifference with which the Houthi authorities deal with the issue of the spread of the epidemic.
Sanaa University deaths, Facebook condolences and hospital orders expose the militias
The policies of concealment and concealment practiced by the Houthi militia cannot cover the scale of the disaster, whose results have begun to appear quickly, as last week witnessed the death of about five professors of Sana'a University, whose death information was published by some of their colleagues and students.
While some Sana'a University professors criticized the situation of professors due to the disruption of their salaries and the deliberate negligence of the militias towards them, medical sources attributed the death of the five professors to their infection with the Corona virus at a time when they suffer from chronic diseases, noting that the scene of university professors leaving due to Corona is similar to what the year witnessed The past from the departure of a number of university professors due to their infection with the virus.
The five professors who died from Sanaa University in a week are: (Dr. Omar Thabet from the College of Information, Dr. Ahmed Al-Zomor from the College of Languages, Dr. Ali Al-Sabri from the College of Medicine, Dr. Muhammad Al-Amrani from the College of Arts, and Dr. Naseem Al-Adimi from the College of Applied Sciences).
In addition, the results of infections and deaths from the Corona virus began to appear in the Sana'a Capital Secretariat through the escalation of deaths and the condolences posts that are published by citizens on social media, especially since most of the deceased whose death news or condolences are published on their death are employees of some state-run institutions. Militias in Sana'a, which continue a policy of neglect, to publish any explanations about the causes of the increase in deaths in the capital and its areas of control.
In addition, medical sources confirmed to NewsYemen, that hospitals in the capital, Sanaa, receive many suspected cases of Coronavirus every day, amid great negligence in taking any measures to confront this pandemic by the leadership of the Houthi Ministry of Health, which is satisfied with requiring hospitals to submit information and reports on suspected cases without taking them. Any measures to confront the pandemic.
According to the sources, many hospitals and pharmacies in Sanaa have raised their orders to obtain some medicines and treatments that are paid to suspected cases of Coronavirus to drug companies, particularly vitamin C and remdesivir, masks and sterilizers, after the increase in cases of virus infections that reach hospitals.
Although the Houthi militia did not announce the first cases of infection with the Coronavirus in May of last year, except after cases of infection with the virus appeared in the liberated areas, it was forced to announce some preventive and precautionary measures and push the media to spread awareness about the virus and means of preventing it, However, the policy of concealment and the medical procedures used by the Houthi health authorities with cases of Covid 19 infection contributed to the need for many of the injured to hide their injury, preferring to receive treatment at home instead of going to hospitals for fear of the amount of negligence they will encounter and the way the Houthis deal with them, which is what This led to the lack of knowledge of the facts and correct statistics of the number of injuries and deaths resulting from the Corona epidemic in the capital, Sanaa, and the Houthi militia's control areas.
On the other hand, the Houthi militia this time deliberately uses the policy of concealment coupled with very severe negligence and indifference, and is keen not to publish any information or facts regarding cases of injuries or deaths resulting from the virus, or spread awareness about methods of prevention, or ways to deal with infection with it in order to start. From the thinking of its leaders that this policy will contribute to what it thinks of herd immunity, and at the same time not affecting its activities related to the mobilization of fighters to its fronts, pushing people, especially employees to its sectarian cultural sessions, and mobilizing participants to attend its sectarian and propaganda activities that it establishes in Sanaa and its areas of control by means of force and coercion.
