Iran-backed Houthis resume a military campaign to confiscate properties of citizens in Yemen's Sanaa

The Iran-backed Houthis resumed on Saturday a military campaign to confiscate citizens' property in Bani Matar district west of Yemen's Sanaa governorate.

A local source told Khabar Agency that the Houthis, led by leader Abu Haidar Jahaf, continue to fence lands owned by citizens of Mikhlaf Al-Barwiya and a number of villages in the center of Bani Matar district in Sanaa, by force of arms.

The Houthis have deployed military vehicles in the area to confront the people who refused to give up their lands and to protect the workers they brought to build walls around agricultural lands estimated at more than a thousand bricks and owned by the people of Beit Al-Maqili and the villages of Al-Qarmish, Bani Jahlan, Ajam and Beit Ubaid. The source added.

Most of the directorates of Sanaa are witnessing similar Houthi movements to confiscate lands of citizens in light of the complicity of some tribal sheikhs and social figures.
