Update 2 Rabee' Awwal 1435h: houthis Threaten the President and Whoever is in Agreement with him

Day 87:

The houthis refused to sign a cease-fire agreement from the government. Sheikh Yahyaa has already consented and signed it. The President stated that he will enter the Yemeni military forces to resolve this conflict. The houthis respond by threatening the President with a war that will make him and his associates shed tears. Also the houthis are using a government military plane to transport their injured to San’aa. They are currently fighting wars in Dammaaj, Hashid and Jawf (another province in Sa’dah) all at one time.

Today the present tribal committee came and brought a truck load of food and medicine. In the process of the delivery one student from the locals (abdul Kareem Al-Waadiee') was shot by houthi sniper fire to his head, which in turn forced members of the committee to take cover in a trench. Abdul Kareem is now in a comma in critical condition. The houthis refused to let the committee take the the injured with them. The houthis pursued the delivery truck with mortar shells and machine gun fire. Two other students were injured in this process.

Also today the houthis continued their heretical act of shelling the Masjid and its surrounding areas during the prayer after the khutbahtul Jum’ah.

At this time it is 9:30pm here there is a lot of very loud speeches going on. Sometimes the Mashaayikh or some of the students give talks over a loudspeaker. Usualy every night the houthis give their talks and play their music during the late hours of the night to the early hours of the morning. Almost like a radio program. Also this night the houthis are randomly shelling, firing the machine guns and firing the 37mm anti-aircraft gun.

Update 23 Safr 1435: houthis murder Peace Committee in Hashid

Day 79: 

Today we buried another young boy murdered by the houthis. 'Ali As-Sumaali Ad-Dirri was 15 years of age. He was killed by a mortar shell that fell on him and two others. The other two students suffered injuries.

At this moment the houthi snipers have profusely accelerated their shooting. The houthis have been launching mortar shells since last night up until 12 p.m. today 

This is the head of a 37mm anti-aircraft round that was found by the children. Keep in mind that the houthis have been sniping at the inhabitants of Dammaaj (men, women, and children) since the first day with this artillery and they use it on regular bases.

Also  yesterday in Hashid where Sheikh Hussein Al-Ahmar leads a gathering from Ahlus-Sunnah and the Qabaail (tribes) of Yemen to open the siege of Dammaaj, the houthis killed five members of a peace committee gathered to negotiate a cease fire in the village of Khaywaan (a village on the way to Dammaaj from San'aa).

Update 21 Safr 1435h: Day 77 of the houthi's war on Al-Islaam and the Muslims

Day 77: 

This last week has been somewhat calmer. There is an occasional fire from heavy artillery but the houthi snipers are still relentless. Still there are students being killed and injured daily. Every night, all hours of the night, the houthis blast their speeches and music on loud speakers from different directions sometimes simultaneously.  

Yesterday we buried a young boy named Mu'aad An-Nakha'i. He was murdered by a shot from a houthi sniper to his head . Today we buried another young boy Hamza As-Sumaali Ad-Daaroodi. He was killed by shrapnel that went into his head. Two other students were injured at and around the time Hamza was injured. 

The white surveillance plane that has been hovering over us since before the first siege has been very busy these last 5 or 6 days. Usually keeping a schedule starting after about 4p.m. until 7 to 8p.m. Also a appeared to be military helicopter was spotted flying over yesterday.

 It is said that the houthis are planning a big hujoom (attack). They have recently built a station for their tank in one of the mountainous areas that surround the Markaz (the institute).  It is said they they want to attack the main Masjid and maybe even they will attack the shelters for the women and the children which they have done throughout this siege.


There has been an increase in the fierce fighting between some of the prominent Tribes of Yemen and the houthis. Particularly the former Presidential candidate Hussein Al-Ahmar from the tribe of Hashid. In general the people of the Sunnah from the tribes and other than them in Yemen are well aware of the reality of the of houthis. It is known that they are a heretical militant terrorist group who fight Al-Islaam in the name of Al-Islaam and are the perpetrators of various criminal acts upon the people of Yemen. The people have chose to follow that which Al-Islaam orders and to aid their brothers in Dammaaj. Not as many misinterpret that this is a sectarian war or some type of power struggle. This is simply an act of terrorism that many have chose to keep quiet about. Many of the Yemenis believe that it is some sort of outside pressure or influence that has subdued the Yemeni Government and are preventing them to aid in any way.

There is a total concensus amongst the Scholars of Yemen, many of the Scholars of Saudia who are aware of this crisis and the Tribes of Yemen for jihaad (struggle) against the oppression and tyranny of the houthis.
