Houthis expand espionage south of Taiz

The Yemeni province of Taiz is experiencing widespread disruptions in internet and communication services due to the escalation of military operations carried out by the Houthis, especially in the city of Turbah. These operations have included campaigns to confiscate satellite internet devices ("Starlink") and surveillance cameras, aiming to control the telecommunications sector and prevent the use of these technologies as tools for monitoring the group’s movements. Additionally, the Houthis have expanded their surveillance efforts to include gathering information through local espionage networks, which involve collecting reports on residents' movements and monitoring their activities on social media platforms. They have also been inspecting personal phones to search for applications that enable communication outside of their control. These measures have caused a paralysis in commercial activities and in the oversight sector. Reports confirm that controlling communication services allows the Houthis to extend their monitoring and security influence in the areas under their control in Taiz. This comes amid worsening living conditions and declining public services as a result of the ongoing military escalation.
