Journalists and Activists Condemn Mawlid Exploitation
The article discusses how the Houthi militia exploits the occasion of the Islamic Prophet’s birthday to impose levies and extortions on citizens and merchants, turning the celebration into a season for rallying support and advancing their political and sectarian activities. This has led to pressures and threats forcing people to pay financial sums, in addition to obligating shop owners to participate in the celebrations and contribute to their embellishment, thereby increasing economic burdens and humanitarian suffering in areas under Houthi control. The media campaign calls for raising awareness about the dangers of exploiting religious occasions for political and economic gain, emphasizing the need to resist using religion as a pretext for theft, and focusing instead on improving service delivery and economic conditions rather than spending on partisan displays and mobilization.
