The granting of Sana'a University to the President of the Houthi Militia Council, Mahdi Al -Mashat, raised a widespread sarcasm and mockery of the Yemenis.

Yemeni activists considered that the Houthi leader obtained a master’s degree, a damaged evidence of the Houthis tampering with graduate programs at the University of Sanaa, which is the largest universities of the country and the exploitation of academic institutions as a tool to enhance intellectual and political domination.

Houthi media published pictures showing the head of the militia's political council while he was in the Republican Palace in Sana'a, while others were carrying a banner behind him indicating his public discussion of a master’s thesis.

Saba Al -Houthi was described as the "researcher" and claimed his master's degree with distinction with honors from the Faculty of Commerce at the University of Sanaa about his thesis tagged with "the September 21 revolution and its effects on the Republic of Yemen and the Arab region", in reference to the history of the group's coup and the invasion of Sanaa. /P>

Success wave

Pictures of Al -Mashat received harsh comments by social media activists, who considered the appearance of Al -Mashat two months after his disappearance that he was working in restoring his picture starting from hair transplantation to his head and ending with his appearance as a researcher to obtain a master’s vacation.

Yemeni information auditor Farouk Al -Kamali mocked Al -Mashat by saying that “the first master’s thesis since the degree of history appeared in history recommending the establishment of memorials and distribution of national decorations.”

He also mocked the discussion of the message outside the university, specifically in the building of the Republican Palace in Sana'a, saying that “for the first time the university you go to the researcher, but you do not like the wonder or fasting in Rajab.”

For his part, Yemeni lawyer Muhammad Al -Masouri said on his account on the social media platform "X" that the Houthi leader had already said that he "lives in a house for rent" and a false claim that sparked a wave of ridicule.

He added, "How did he obtain a master’s degree, and he does not know the grammar of the Arabic language, but they saw those who wrote to him the thesis?

This is what the Yemeni political researcher, Adonis Abdulaziz, said that “the phenomenon of the spread of master’s degrees among the leaders and elements of the Houthi militia reflects a mixture of false legitimacy attempts.”

He added on his account in "X" that "Mahdi was hidden for more than two months, and he returned to the scene from the Gate of the University of Sanaa, which is exploited with academic institutions as a tool to enhance the intellectual and political domination of the Houthi militia.

"Decreased knot"

In the context, the Yemeni Ambassador at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) commented that “in 2020 the Houthi Higher Military Academy granted their president Mahdi Al -Mashat the honorary master’s degree in military sciences, and gave him the title of pillar, after his promotion to Field

He added, he added, “Al -Mashat is a diligent student, despite his great tasks, but during the past years he was attending a master’s degree, this time is not in military sciences, not honorary, but a real master’s degree entitled (The day of the Nakba of the Yemenis).”

He explained on his account in "X" that "these people have a shortage of a shortfall, because of the large number of what they heard who talks about that they did not carry academic certificates, so they went to falsify the certificates in this way, to get rid of this knot."

It is noteworthy that the Houthi leader Al -Mashat is not the first to claim to obtain a master’s degree, but preceded by dozens of Houthi leaders, most notably the influential leader “Ahmed Hamid” and the leader “Abu Adel Al -Tawous” and “Abdul -Jabbar Al -Jarmouzi” and all of them hold high positions in the unrecognized coup government With it.
