Yemen: Houthis seize property in Ibb
The Houthi group has reaffirmed their takeover of the Central Security Camp land in Ibb city, amid mounting popular anger. The project had been halted for two years due to local residents' rejection. The project is now being reintroduced under the guise of a lease agreement, ostensibly to legitimize the transfer of control to influential figures such as Fares Maan and Ahmed Hammar. This reflects the group's policy of converting public property into investment projects that generate profits for their leadership, rather than using them to serve the community. It is worth noting that the market value of the land is estimated at billions of Yemeni riyals. This move follows a similar pattern of previous expropriations of public assets, facing internal criticism for the lack of transparency in granting these concessions and for ignoring principles of competitiveness. Such practices threaten to justify the plundering of state assets and are likely to increase popular outrage in the province.
