The report concludes that the Houthis are the biggest beneficiaries of the ongoing division in the telecommunications sector, as they control institutions, infrastructure and revenues estimated by the Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies at around 120 billion Yemeni rials a year. It also raises the possibility that vested interests within government institutions are obstructing the transfer of the sector and projects such as Aden Net and fiber-optic networks. It stresses, however, that Mohammed al-Muhaimid’s allegations against officials and companies have not been substantiated and require independent investigation and scrutiny. On the question of al-Muhaimid’s objectivity, the report notes that he has criticized both the Houthis and the government. But his dispute with the Ministry of Telecommunications—and its 2021 statement denying that he held an official position and accusing him of falsely claiming to be an undersecretary—means his information should be verified, rather than accepted or rejected in advance. The report calls for contracts and allegations to be examined, investigation findings to be published, and those responsible to be held accountable, alongside efforts to secure networks and build an independent, transparent telecommunications sector in areas under government control.
