Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
Local sources revealed the intensification of competition between the leaders of the terrorist Houthi militia, over the looting of state lands and real estate and private property in Sanaa, which is under its control.
The sources indicated that the prominent leader of the group, Abdullah Aida Al-Razami, entered the illegal wealth line through the robbery and disposal of state lands, in addition to looting homes and real estate owned by opponents of the Houthis.
The sources said that the conflict between Houthi leaders escalated after Al-Razami, appointed to the position of inspector general in the Ministry of Interior in the unrecognized militia government, attempted to pass a set of forged papers and papers to legitimize robberies of state property and citizens through the judiciary.
The sources pointed out that Al-Razami instructed an armed group to attack Judge Khaled Al-Athori, appointed by the Houthis as head of the Southeastern Court of Amana, after the latter obstructed the first's attempts to legitimize the robbery of state property and citizens with judicial documents.
Recently, the endowments office in Sana'a governorate revealed the looting of agricultural lands and hills in the Beit Sabtan area, by the Houthi leader, nicknamed "Abu Abdullah Al-Shagdari", a follower of Abdullah Al-Razami.
The leaders of the Houthi militia are racing to rob homes and lands of citizens and housing associations for employees in the outskirts of Sanaa, and force other citizens to sell their homes under the pressure of need at low prices, and then demolish these homes and rebuild them with standard specifications and imaginary costs.
Organised burglary
In the context, judicial and local sources confirmed that the Houthi militia, through a committee formed under the name (the Armed Forces Land Investment Committee), is launching a robbery of housing projects for army personnel, lands, properties and farms of citizens in Nuqm, Sawan, Sarf, Shamlan, Attan Wahda, Ashash, Asr 50th Street, Beit Bos and Beit Sabtan, Haziz, Amd, Bridle, Rima Hamid, Hamdan and others.
According to the sources, the militia members, through their military committee, looted the lands of the residential associations for state employees, officers and members of the armed forces in the Sawan, Shamlan, Al-Sabah, Beit Sabtan, and others in the 50th Street in Sana’a. Although they have ownership contracts, a large number of them have already disposed of and sold them to new beneficiaries.
The sources reported that the committee affiliated with the so-called Houthi Chief of Staff Abdul Karim Al-Ghamari is led by the Houthi leader, Abu Haider Jahaf, with the participation of the so-called Abdul Malik Atef, and with the support of the brother of the Houthi militia leader Abdul-Khaleq Al-Houthi, and his uncle Abdul-Karim, who holds the position of Minister of Interior in the group’s government.
This committee sells the lands that they have seized, prevents its owners from any development in it and prevents them from accessing it, and transfers its prices to their own accounts.
Citizens carried out more than one protest stop, the last of which was on the western fifty line above the Al-Sunina area, to demand the lifting of the seizure of the lands that Al-Ghamari and Jahf had unjustly and aggressively seized and without any justification.
On Wednesday, the affected people staged a vigil in front of the Attorney General’s office to demand the lifting of the seizure of their lands in the 50th district, where the Military Committee in the 50th district seized them and prevented any development, even at the level that it prevented homeowners from repairing their homes damaged by torrential rains and floods.
According to the sources, the lands that were seized in the 50th district were spent through the Northwest Region Officers Association and the First Armored Division in 2008. Some officers built what they spent on them, and some sold what they spent on them.
Earlier, the committee banned homeowners in the 50th district from any development until finishing and prohibited construction, sale and purchase, without any legal justification.
Houthi leaders also confiscated the city of the Air Force Officers Association, or the so-called city of Sam, located in Shamlan next to the Political Security hill, although this city was agricultural land purchased from citizens for the association and the association was sold to air officers, and about 90 percent of its lands were built.
The Houthi committee also seized agricultural land in Al-Rawda area affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture, in addition to a farm in the Bani Hashish area affiliated with the General Authority for State Lands and Real Estate, with an estimated area of about 1,500 bricks, which were leased to Al-Jilani farms before they took them from him and sold them to land traders.
The Houthi militias also took over the area around the Attan Fort, most of which is agricultural land owned by the people of Beit Sabtan. There are ongoing understandings between the authority and the owners to raise the shading of their agricultural lands and facilities after the lands were examined to see if there were traces under them by specialized experts and technicians.
According to the sources, the militias also looted more than fifty plots of land in the Beit Sabtan area, all of them in residential areas and in the middle of inhabited lanes, and the area of each of them is between twenty to two hundred bricks fenced with high walls, and some of them are rented from others.
As a result of the Houthi looting of the areas surrounding the fort, the area witnessed tension between the people and the Houthi militia gangs, after the people opposed the militia’s looting, robbery, seizure and disposal of their lands and properties.
