After Yemeni Presidential Council sworn in, Houthi militia spreads chaos

Amidst Arab and international optimism that the Yemeni crisis will soon be resolved, the Yemeni Presidential Council was sworn in and millions of people were saved from the worst humanitarian disaster in the world.

As the crisis approaches, the Houthi militia aims to spread chaos and increase crises and armed conflict to ensure their continued power.

Analysts said the Houthi militia would spread chaos and increase attacks on Yemeni cities and provinces in the coming days.

Houthi plans

Informed sources confirmed that the Houthi militia, through its statements and its security and military moves on the ground, will not agree to a new stage of openness to the peace options heralded by international and United Nations declarations.

It added that international and UN negotiations would mean that Houthi would have no place in the Yemeni political scene, as any elections would oust Iranian-backed militias.

In the coming period, Houthi militias supported by Iran will intensify their attacks on Yemeni tribes and cities, and carry out random arrests and abductions of Yemeni youth.

Analysts say that the international agreements and the Arab welcome that are taking place are causing panic within the ranks of the Houthi militia, who fear that they will be overthrown, and consequently Iran will lose one of its most prominent tools and allies in the Arab Gulf region

Presidential Council of Yemen

Yemeni media reported that the president and members of the Presidential Command Council were sworn in and started their duties in Aden, the seat of the interim government.

The council was sworn in by a number of members of parliament elected in 2003.

According to AFP, the swearing-in session took place under tight security for fear of a Houthi attack.

Former Yemeni president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi handed over power to the leadership council on April 7th, following negotiations held in Riyadh under the auspices of the Gulf Co-operation Council.

The announcement was widely welcomed by the United Nations, the international community, and the Arabs, amid optimism that Yemen would be resolved and millions would be saved from the worst humanitarian disaster.
