Day after day, the Houthi militia reveals its truth in disavowing the obligations and agreements concluded with various Yemeni forces, which has confirmed beyond any doubt that this militia is addicted to treachery and breaking covenants.

A long history of breaking covenants and agreements has characterized the Houthi militia and has become an inherent characteristic of it, they had signed several agreements to end war or peace and not to escalate, but they did not adhere to any of them. Rather, they took advantage of the ceasefire agreements to pursue further expansion and gain supporters. With the support of Iran, their practices remained to work for establishing the division of the country on sectarian lines.

For more than two and a half decades, the memory of Yemenis has kept a record full of betrayals by the terrorist militia, which uses truces, humanitarian conditions, and treaties as a means to gain time and regroup, and this is how it has continued since it took its first steps outside the caves in 2004 until today.

This militia has become addicted to treachery and breaking covenants and has shied away from committing to any of them when it gains power and is in a better position. There are many indications - which we will discuss in the course of this report - that this militia does not implement what it has committed to except by force of arms.

Agreement with the Salafist group:

Human rights reports monitored nearly 100 agreements and covenants that the Houthi terrorist militia broke with various Yemeni segments and components since the beginning of its secret organization in Saada until the present day, and the common denominator of all those agreements it signed is breaking of those covenants.

The agreement concluded with the Salafist group was an introduction to the agreements that the Houthis signed with the Salafist group in Yemen while they were carrying out their secret work in Saada Governorate in the early eighties of the last century. At the time, an agreement was signed between those who described themselves as Saada scholars and the Salafi group led by Sheikh Muqbil bin Hadi al-Wadaei.

That agreement was concluded under the auspices of a government committee that was formed at the time, headed by the Minister of Endowments and Guidance, Ali bin Ali as-Samman, and the membership of the Chairman of the General Authority for Scientific Institutes, Yahya Lutf al-Fusayyil, the Director-General of Guidance, Abdul Rahman al-Imad, and with the blessing of the Prime Minister at that time, Dr. Abdul Karim al-Iryani, may God have mercy on him.

This agreement remained in effect until the Houthi militia violated it when it felt that it was strong as an armed movement in the first siege, and then attacked the Salafists and their center known as Dar al-Hadith in Dammaj on Thursday 22 Dhul-Qi’dah 1432 AH corresponding to 10/19/2011 AD.

The Six Wars Agreements:

The Houthi militia grew up rebellious against the state, especially during what was known as the six wars that the militia waged against the Yemeni army in the period from 2004 to 2010. During that period, the militia concluded six agreements with the state. From time to time, the militia violates these agreements, which leads to the outbreak of war again.

Researchers believe that all of the agreements signed by the Houthis during the six wars were concluded at a time when they were about to fall and collapse or in need of money, while they turned against those agreements when they obtained sufficient weapons and money to expand their rebellion, dig trenches, obtain quality weapons, and recruit even more fighters.

The Houthi agreements with the Yemeni forces 2011-2014:

The agreements concluded by the Houthi militia with the Yemeni forces between 2011 and 2014 represented another stage in its development stages that enabled it to control the capital and overthrow the state. It was monitored that 15 agreements were signed by the Houthi militia with political forces, tribes, and the Salafist group in Yemen during the aforementioned period, and then it turned against all of those agreements and annulled all of their provisions.

Researchers believe that in those agreements that the militia signed and then broke, the phrases “peaceful coexistence and the main road” were repeated, indicating that the Houthi militia realizes that its ideological and political thought is rejected by the Yemeni people, otherwise, what is the need to mention the peaceful coexistence clause, despite there being no different ethnicities in Yemen?

They stressed that the Houthi militia resorted to using the agreements to provide security for its stronghold in Saada, as well as to secure the passage of weapons and money coming from abroad through the port of Midi to reach Saada. Observers accuse the presidential committees that were formed at that time of representing an official nature for the militia’s movement and expansion towards the capital, Sana’a.

Observers confirmed that the militia is resorting to agreements to dismantle the unity of the tribes that reject their presence and spread conflicts between them, pointing to what happened with the Hashid tribes in Amran Governorate during the invasion and control of the governorate, and the Houthis also resorted to using what is called tribal norms to their advantage.

Peace and Partnership Agreement and the National Dialogue Conference:

More than 50 agreements and covenants were signed by the Houthi militia from 2004 until it tightened its control over the capital, Sanaa, and its coup against the state on the night of September 21, 2014, and the same since the coup until today.

Where the Houthis signed with the former President of the Republic, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, and other political forces, the document called the “Peace and Partnership Agreement” under the auspices of the United Nations through its envoy to Yemen at the time, Jamal bin Omar, but they quickly violated that agreement and invaded the rest of the Yemeni Governorates and turned against President Hadi himself. They besieged him inside his house from January 25, 2015, until he fled to Aden on February 20, 2015.

Previously, the militia had turned against the outcomes of the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference in 2013, which represented the only way out of all the problems the Yemenis suffer from. All the Yemeni forces had unanimously agreed on these outcomes and were blessed by the sponsoring regional countries and the international community, knowing that this dialogue was in their interest first and foremost, and yet they turned against it.

Inherent Houthi behavior:

Commenting on this inherent Houthi behavior in violating covenants, researchers believe that the researcher who follows the Houthi behavior in violating covenants realizes that this is due to an interest they achieve or getting rid of an impasse at a crucial moment that is the deciding factor between the survival of their entity or its end, and then they come to an agreement in order to escape from sliding into the abyss, and when they getting out of that abyss, they return to what they were forbidden from breaking the covenants.

Researchers into the thoughts and culture of this militia believe that their failure to fulfill covenants is due to their cultural thoughts and deviant religious beliefs. For the militia, breaking covenants is considered a doctrine rooted in the cause of political dissimulation that they embrace. Therefore, it does not care about these issues, which are considered good morals among various peoples on earth, even the most atheistic peoples.

In this regard, Thabet al-Ahmadi, a Yemeni researcher, believes that the psychological structure of the Hadwism theory is an aggressive structure like any ideological theory, whose dealing with the other does not depend on the issue of accepting him or dealing with him. Rather, it is in breaking covenants and assaulting him materially and morally in his most privacy.

Al-Ahmadi adds: Breaking and betraying covenants represents one of those attacks that the Imamate in Yemen - and the Houthis are one of its historical episodes - has been characterized with as a culture and behavior together since its first inception at the end of the third century AH until today. This militia practices politics in isolation from morality, following Machiavelli's principle that “the end justifies the means.” It exercises rule for the sake of control, which entails material and moral privilege, as well as illegal gain from any means, according to their historically common belief, “What is permissible is what comes into hand.”".

25 years of dribbling:

Experts believe that the behavior of the Houthi militia towards the thorny and evasive issues and files that it has been doing for a quarter of a century in dealing with treaties, agreements, commitments, and truces to which the militia is a party, is that this would not have happened without the Houthi militia receiving unparalleled support from Iran.

Despite the cover-up method adopted by Iran in providing military and logistical support to its allies in Yemen, it has not hidden its political support for the Houthis over the past years.

Despite the excessive caution and covering-up in Iranian policy and the Iranians’ denial of their military support for the Houthis, the economic assistant to the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, General Rustam Qasemi, spoke openly at the beginning of 2021 that Iran had developed the Houthis militarily, in addition to his acknowledgment of the presence of a small number of advisors from the Guard. Revolutionary in Yemen. It is also the same formula that Tehran uses to talk about its forces present in Syria or Iraq.

However, what made the matter more serious and what made it remarkable was that the Iranian Foreign Ministry downplayed the importance of these statements and their incorrectness as an attempt by the ministry to contain Qasemi’s statements by saying that these statements conflict with the facts and with the policies of the Islamic Republic in Yemen, stressing that Iran’s support for Yemen is political only and that the Islamic Republic supports the peaceful path of the Yemeni crisis and the efforts of the United Nations to find a political solution to this devastating war, before Qasemi responded to the Foreign Ministry’s statement in a tweet in which he adhered to his statements.

The evidence that confirms this dimension adopted by some observers is the announcement of Iranian General Hassan Erloo, who was appointed by Iran as an ambassador to the unrecognized Houthi government before he was killed in mysterious circumstances, his rejection of the initiative proposed by Saudi Arabia regarding ending the Yemen crisis and describing it as a permanent war project, despite Although the Houthis' official position regarding the initiative is evasive, to obtain greater Saudi concessions.

Observers considered these statements as conclusive evidence of Iranian interference in the war and their management of the conflict file in Yemen, and that the Houthis are nothing more than a front for the conflict. This was also considered by observers to be a reason for the fluctuation in positions and the contradiction in the policy of the militia, which has no control over anything other than the orders and directives dictated to it by the Iranians.
