Look how the streets of Al-Houta became the capital of Lahj Governorate! A city that was once known for its beauty and simplicity, today has turned into a bleak picture that reflects the extent of neglect and corruption. The streets that were once bustling with life are now filled with potholes, dust, and garbage that invade the neighborhoods. The infrastructure is collapsed, and there is no trace of any improvement or development.

What is worse is that officials see people’s suffering as nothing more than an opportunity to gain money, except for those who have mercy on God. Fake projects and budgets that are spent but do not arrive, as if this city deserves nothing more than crumbs. Every corner in Al-Hota tells you a story of corruption and a state of systematic neglect.

What is happening in Al-Hawta is not just a negligence, but a betrayal against the people who are waiting for an improvement that never comes. God suffices me, and He is the best disposer of affairs for everyone who contributed to making this city live in this miserable situation. The problem is that whoever is in charge sees the disaster as an irresponsible opportunity.
