Disputes within the Houthi group over influence and money escalated

Conflict and Disputes are now emerging from the ashes into the open clearly between the leaders of the Houthi militia loyal to Iran, which have reached conflicts resembling guerrilla wars over influence and money.

In light of the attempt by some of them to monopolize power in Yemen, the cries and wails of some of them who are not satisfied with what they have reached, despite their constant and relentless looting of Yemen's resources.

The most recent of these facts, the most prominent of which was what Sheikh Muhammad Saghir Abkar, one of the Houthi leaders in Hodeidah, said, who appeared in a video circulating on social media platforms, shouting at the Houthi leaders’ control in Hajjah Governorate and their incursion into Hodeidah and trying to extend their influence and authority inside it in a crude manner, which made him angry.

"There is nothing left in Hodeidah. Security, intelligence, supervisors, universities, cemeteries, the port, and hospitals are all from Hajjah". He said.

In the video, Abkar demanded the "the people of Hodeidah" to be men with their heads raised and not to be afraid and stand in front of Hajja's control over Hodeidah, describing them as gas thieves.

He also called on the sheikhs and the head of the Hodeidah governorate to move seriously at the present time, before all of them are pushed in the Houthi prisons.

This was based on a complaint from the sheikhs and tribes of Tihama loyal to the Houthis, the practice of Houthi leaders coming from the governorates of Hajjah and Saada and their domination over them.

Those belonging to the governorates of Hajjah and Saada loyal to the Houthis took control of the Hodeidah governorate, stripping their jobs.
