The Houthi militia obligated the owners of wedding halls in Amran Governorate to play Houthi mobilization songs and rhymes instead of Yemeni songs and chants.

Local sources said that the leadership of the Houthi group in Amran Governorate held a meeting with the owners of wedding and event halls and directed them not to allow artists and singers to perform at weddings and social events, with the exception of the “Al-Zawamil” band affiliated with the militia, which employs “Al-Zamil” to attract children and teenagers and ignite their enthusiasm with the aim of bringing them in its war against the Yemenis.

The sources added that the Houthi leadership accused the artists of participating in what it called “soft war” and diluting “society,” and held the owners of wedding and event halls responsible if they allowed artists and singers to “sing and chant” at weddings and other occasions.

The Houthi militia is trying to impose its culture and sectarian style on the Yemenis and erase the cultural and civilizational heritage of the Yemeni people.
