The Minister of Endowments and Guidance, Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Aida Shabiba, today warned the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia against politicizing the Hajj ritual, stealing pilgrims’ funds, and kidnapping and disappearing employees of approved facilities in areas forcibly under its control.

Minister Shabiba explained that the terrorist Houthi militias continue their arbitrary practices against our country’s pilgrims heading to the Holy House of God, and are imposing absurd measures and creating many obstacles with the aim of blackmailing Hajj and Umrah agencies located in areas forcefully under their control, and plundering the pilgrims’ money, even if this leads to depriving them of Performing the Hajj ritual.

The Minister of Endowments confirmed that the Houthi militias obstructed the supply of flight fees for the Guests of God arriving through Sana’a International Airport and sought to seize and rob them. They also kidnapped and disappeared some employees of approved Hajj facilities, and prevented them from carrying out their duties towards the Guests of God.< /p>
