[su_label type=”info”]SMA News – Newspapers [/su_label][su_spacer size=”10″] Middle East newspaper indicated that conflicts among several wings inside Al-Houthi militias caused several leaders who are relatives of Al-Houthi and some tribal leaders not to take the auth of loyalty before Mahdy Al-Mashat, chairman of the so-called the supreme political council. The newspaper indicated that Abd Al-Kareem Al-Houthi, uncle of Abd Al-Malek Al-Houthi and the shadow man who governs Sanaa, didn’t show up to take the auth of loyalty before Al-Mashat. Because of wide distrust and mutual sense of betrayal among Al-Houthi leaders and other prominent political and military figures loyal to the militia. This condition appeared after the killing of Saleh Al-Sammad, former chairman of the so-called the supreme political council. Official sources indicated that 27 persons loyal to Al-Houthi militias took the auth of loyalty in Sanaa before Al-Mashat who illegally appointed them as members of Al-Houthi version of the parliament, but Abd Al-Kareem Al-Houthi, uncle of Abd Al-Malek Al-Houthi, and Abd Al-Malek Al-Agary, father in-law of Al-Houthi didn’t. sources close to the militias think that this absence came because of the rising conflict among the militia wings as many of leaders close to Al-Houthi deny the recognition of Al-Mashat as a qualified successor of Al-Sammad, because of his young age and reckless decisions, in addition to verbal indecency when he faces his opponents. Sources also indicated that behind the scenes, Abd Al-Kareem Al-Houthi notified his nephew with his refusal to be appointed in Al-Houthi version of the parliament as he thinks that his power stems from his nephew’s unlimited power in addition to the fact that he is the legitimate heir of his nephew in case he died for any reason. Observers think that Abd Al-Malek Al-Agary, Al-Houthi’s father in-law, a prominent leader in the political department and the first man in theorizing and authenticating the right of the group to rule, thinks that he is the legitimate successor of Al-Sammad and not Al-Mashat. Three other tribal leaders didn’t show up but the reasons of their absence are still unknown, as rumors indicated that Mohamed Saleh Al-Zakary, a tribal leader of Kashar directorate, Hajjah, refused the appointment while Fares Al-Habary, a tribal leader of Arhab, was though to be injured in an air raid.
