Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Muammar al-Eryani, has revealed shocking figures on the economic impact of the Houthi militia's systematic practices since its coup in 2014.
According to Al-Eryani, the militia has looted over $103 billion of the Yemeni people's money and resources, with its leaders accumulating enormous wealth from looting and corruption.
The Houthi leaders have used their illicit wealth to buy palaces, villas, and build towers, while millions of Yemenis live in catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
The militia has monopolized the oil, gas, and telecommunications trade, swept away the private sector, and imposed taxes and tributes on all economic activities.
Al-Eryani stressed that the Houthi militia's refusal to pay state employees' salaries, despite its huge resources, confirms its systematic policy to impoverish, starve, and humiliate Yemenis.
The minister emphasized that the militia's actions are aimed at tightening control over the private sector, enriching its leaders, and providing financial support to Iranian-backed militias in the region.
