Houthi Leaders' Lavish Salaries: 9 Million Yemeni Rials While Public Employees Remain Unpaid
In a shocking revelation, Houthi-affiliated journalist Mohammed Al-Imad exposed the substantial monthly salaries received by senior Houthi supervisors. According to a video released by Al-Imad, these salaries range between 7 and 9 million Yemeni rials per month.
This disclosure has sparked outrage, especially given that public employees in Houthi-controlled areas have been deprived of their salaries for years. Since their coup against the legitimate government in 2014, the Houthis have shirked their responsibility to pay government employees, leaving millions to struggle amid an escalating economic crisis.
Observers question the sources of these extravagant payments, particularly as Yemen continues to endure severe economic hardships exacerbated by the ongoing conflict. Analysts suggest that these funds may stem from the mismanagement of economic resources, misuse of humanitarian aid, or revenue generated from illicit activities in Houthi-controlled territories.
The revelation has reignited debates about the Houthis' priorities and their exploitation of resources while neglecting the basic needs of the population in areas under their control.
