Yemen minister: Houthi-stolen money suffices to pay public salaries
[29/06/2021 01:07]

RIYADH - SABA
Yemen’s Information Minister has said that the Houthi militia have had enough looted money and resources to cover a regular payment to public employees in their areas of control over the past six years.

Muammar al-Eryani told Saba that the theocratic militia are responsible for the plight of hundreds of thousands of families given the that the militia do not deposit Hodeida Seaport in the Central Bank of Hodeidah.

He said the militia instead harnessed the funds extorted from businesses and individuals “to finance the murder of Yemenis and attack Yemen’s neighbors.”

“It is estimated that the militia in 2020 raised $450 million from illicit trade in oil products, $200 million as telecommunication revenues, $650 million as taxes including on fuel and telecommunication, $150 million as Zakat revenues, and $100 million as endowment revenues.”

"Estimations show that the militia looted millions of dollars in the same year, from black market trade with oil derivatives, private power supply, speculation with foreign currency, extortion of the private sector and others."

The Houthi militia is accused of extorting exorbitant illegal levies from businesses in Sana’a as a compulsory “war effort contribution” which goes to finance the militia’s war.
