The Houthi theocratic militia have lately been dedicating 90% of the "huge" fuel reservoirs in their controlled areas to military operations against the government, well-informed sources told Yemeni media platforms.
The militia warned of "a genocide-like" effect would result from the depletion of fuel in Sana'a, which hyperbole analysts say the Shia militia used to get the UN's help with further fuel supply and to boost their case for lifting the Arab Coalition's naval and air blockade – to be able import Iranian arms and other aid.
Human rights activists told Bawabati news website they are "shocked how the Houthis hold the 'fuel' issue over the United Nations to obtain what they wants in spite of the huge surplus of fuel they have accumulated and the fact that they (Houthis), as the UN itself acknowledges, are the ones who violated the mechanism" regulating oil and other imports, known as UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism for Yemen (UNVIM).
In keeping with their endless attempts to expand and capture new territories from the government, the UN-pampered militia are now attempting on Marib province, amassing troops, fuel and other resources without limits. The militia's self-styled 'Martyrs Authority' has just revealed that their militia lost "2000 fighters" in attempts on Marib and adjacent Aljawf over the two weeks.
