Yemeni Interior Ministry Warns of Deceptive Houthi Messages
On Friday, the Yemeni Interior Ministry warned citizens in the liberated governorates, especially the temporary capital Aden, of text messages it said the Houthi group is broadcasting via the 'Yemen Mobile' and 'You' networks, with the aim of misleading, luring, spreading rumors, and destabilizing security and stability.
In a statement, the ministry called on citizens to ignore these messages, not to re-share them, or respond to their misleading calls and promises, warning against falling victim to the group's attempts to lure and entrap citizens.
It noted that the fate of many who were deceived by Houthi promises ended in abduction, enforced disappearance, torture, abuse, and physical liquidation, in addition to other violations.
The ministry considered the use of communication and internet networks for the group's propaganda and for planning missile and drone attacks against civilians and civil and service facilities as "war crimes that are not subject to a statute of limitations" and warrant legal accountability.
It pledged that the security services will pursue anyone proven to be involved in these crimes, whether through participation, planning, or providing direct or indirect support to the perpetrators.
The ministry called on citizens to be aware and vigilant, to obtain information from official sources, and to cooperate with security agencies by reporting any suspicious messages or activities to ensure their safety and enhance public security and tranquility.
