Brotherhood desperate to abort efforts to end Houthi domination of the telecommunications sector
تاريخ النشر: 30th, August 2023 GMT
The Brotherhood forces in the legitimacy entity are desperate to thwart the efforts of the Presidential Leadership Council seeking to end the monopoly of the Houthi terrorist militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, on telecommunications and the Internet by establishing a joint company that provides these services in liberated areas that are not under Houthi control.
And with the announcement of the parity government, in its meeting on Monday, corresponding to August 21, of a draft agreement to establish a joint Yemeni-Emirati telecommunications company to provide mobile phone and Internet services, the Brotherhood’s arms in Parliament began moving to abort this project through a letter addressed by the Speaker of the Council, Sultan al-Barakani, to the President The government asked to stop the work of the agreement.
Al-Barakani's message came in conjunction with a letter sent to him by 22 members, most of whom belong to the Islah Party, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen, and reside with their families abroad. The truth is the identity of the company (NX), which, whether Turkish or Qatari, may not have any objection to it.
The Speaker of Parliament's message showed a flagrant contradiction by calling on the government to quickly liberate the telecommunications sector from the control of the Houthi militia, while at the same time standing as a stumbling block to the first serious government move in this direction under the pretext of forfeiting national sovereignty and financial resources.
The response to Parliament's letter came from the Higher Revenue Committee, which considered the agreement an "important step" to liberate the telecommunications sector from the domination of the Houthi militia, add a strategic economic resource for the benefit of the state's public treasury, and provide a safe and reliable modern communications environment in various sectors.
The Brotherhood’s anger at these moves prompted a member of the Presidential Leadership Council, Othman Majali, to submit an official letter to the head of the council, Rashad Al-Alimi, in which he demanded that the Prime Minister, Maeen Abdulmalik, be referred for investigation and cancel all agreements, procedures and decisions that were signed by him, in reference to the government’s approval. The agreement to establish the joint telecommunications company with the UAE company.
Majali's message aroused widespread indignation in the local street, as it targeted the first serious move to end the militias' control of the telecommunications sector, and was absent when a certain corruption and his government was causing torture of citizens and increasing their suffering.
