Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:

In the wake of the high temperature stings of the people of Al-Hodeidah Governorate (western Yemen), and the flames of commercial electricity prices that are ironing the skins of consumers in Sanaa and the neighboring governorates, the leader of the Houthi militia - Muhammad Al-Houthi - goes cynical and underestimating the people's needs for basic services and the worsening of their living conditions. 

Residents of Sanaa and the neighboring governorates suffer from a record rise in commercial electricity prices. The price of a kilowatt-hour of electricity ranges between 500-600 riyals, in light of the deterioration of the government electricity service and its price is close to 400 riyals per kilowatt.

In the face of these tragic conditions, and in the lights of his glass jars, lit by the looted electricity company generators, the Houthi leader, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, tweets with boundless contempt, urging his virtual government in Sanaa to announce what he described as a "general amnesty for the customs of all electric cars" as - according to  His claim - the car of the future and "because of its impact and returns in the service of the economy and the environment."

Thus, the gap is widening day after day between the needs and priorities of the leaders of the Houthi militia, and the concerns of the citizens. While Houthi Mohammed plans to establish a private company to import electric cars, Yemenis in Sanaa and the neighboring governorates hope to light one or two rooms in their homes for a few hours at night, and to charge their phones quickly for fear of rising  Electricity tariff.

We turned the refrigerator in our house into a cupboard, and forgot to use a lot of electronic devices five years ago,” says Muhammad Dirham, a retired civil engineer from Sanaa, commenting on the lack of electricity services since the Houthi militia took control of state institutions in September 2014.

Muhammad Dirham points to the suffering of citizens in the governorates of Al-Hodeidah, Aden and the coastal governorates, in light of the limited rise in temperature that the residents of Sanaa feel, asking God to help the residents of the coastal governorates.

In conjunction, the terrorist Houthi militia launched, on the evening of Sunday, June 12, 2022, a retaliatory campaign against the residents of Hodeidah, days after a wide electronic campaign launched by activists to expose the militias' crimes and their trade in electricity services in conjunction with the summer and high temperatures.
