Houthi militias looted international airlines and got $45 million in a year
The Houthi militias are looting all the money of the Yemeni people in various ways, and many parts of the state are involved, even the airlines, which the militias used in exchange for money.
During a session of parliament in Aden, Yemen, representatives confirmed the involvement of international airlines in transferring money to the Houthi terrorist militia in Sanaa.
Annual fees for the passage of aircraft over Yemen’s airspace amount to about $45 million, parliamentarians said, adding that the Houthi terrorist militia received $45 million from international airlines in return for the passage of aircraft through Yemeni airspace.
The Council of Representatives held the leadership of the Aviation Authority in Aden and the Ministry of Finance in the Yemeni government responsible for this. They called for quick action and for the issuance of memoranda to international aviation authorities to transfer these amounts to the Aden Aviation Authority.
This coincides with the continued overflights of the city of Mocha on the western coast by drones of the Houthi terrorist militia, which is affiliated with Iran, despite the announcement of a truce by the United Nations envoy to Yemen at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
The military media of the joint forces confirmed the monitoring of surveillance drones launched by the Houthi militias in the sky of Mocha for the second day in a row, as part of their escalating violations of the two-month truce. The third reconnaissance drone of the Houthi militias in the sky of Mocha was monitored within hours in a new escalation that threatens to destroy the truce that the United Nations, through its envoy, seeks to extend in Yemen.
On Tuesday, members of Yemen’s Presidential Command Council were sworn in in Aden before members of parliament elected in 2003 to give confidence to the government, as a culmination of the transfer of power from former Yemeni president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.
The council was sworn in by Parliament Speaker Sheik Sultan al-Burkani and attended by heads and members of the cabinet, the Shura Council, the Supreme Judicial Council, the Supreme Electoral Commission and the Military Affairs Committee.
The meeting was also attended by a number of ambassadors of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, the European Union, permanent members of the UN Security Council, UN and US envoys, representatives of political forces and parties, civil society organizations, and a number of social figures and dignitaries.
The Yemeni parliament said the return of its president and members to Aden “comes within the framework of bringing all state institutions together in the interim capital”; “The parliament will hold its first session of the second session to discuss various issues and form its agencies and committees”, he said, adding that the government’s statement will be heard, discussed and given confidence. The parliament will also stand in its sessions before a number of issues related to the general situation in the national arena, and will be closely examined and the conditions of citizens will be inspected.
Former Yemeni President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, at the conclusion of the Yemeni-Yemeni consultations sponsored by the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh, decided to issue a presidential decree transferring all his powers without return to a presidential leadership council headed by his adviser Rashad al-Alimi and with the membership of: Sultan Bin Ali Al-Aradah, Aidarous Al-Naqib, Tariq Saleh, Abdullah Al-Alimi, Othman Majli, Abu Zara Al-Mahrami, and Faraj Al-Bahsani.
