After the American-Israeli enemy failed to stop Yemeni support for Gaza, it resorted to using its dirty tools to try to sow discord and destabilize the internal front. "Afafish," linked to the late traitor Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled Yemen by forcd for three decades, are the cornerstone of the Zionist plan against Yemen. These people, who plundered Yemen's wealth for decades, are now using the plundered people's money to incite chaos and internal conflict in service of the nation's enemy.

To prevent people from being deceived by some of the headlines raised by Zionist tools, we present a brief overview of the facts surrounding these dirty tools:

We note, first, the amount of money plundered by the traitor Ali Saleh Saleh throughout his rule. The United Nations International Sanctions Committee estimates that the wealth accumulated by Saleh and his family amounts to $60 billion, amassed through illegal activities. This enormous wealth was not accumulated through commercial activity, but rather the result of absolute control over the state's economic levers. Government oil and gas contracts were managed through closed channels, ultimately flowing into the pockets of Saleh, his family, and his entourage.

Reports also reveal that these corrupt activities generated approximately $2 billion annually for Saleh over three decades. These corrupt practices included the theft of fuel subsidy funds, extortion, and embezzlement of public projects. This plundered wealth did not remain domestically; rather, it was smuggled abroad and distributed in Gulf and European banks, as well as less transparent ones in Latin America. This vast network of cronies, including his sons, sons-in-law, and members of his military and tribal circles, was merely a tool for implementing his plans; it became an economic entity.

Historical Responsibility and Service to Enemies

This systematic plunder was not merely financial corruption; it was part of a broader scheme that weakened the Yemeni state and kept it under foreign tutelage. Saleh ruled Yemen for 33 years, during which the country was plagued by economic crises and price hikes, without achieving any real development or economic renaissance.

Historical documents indicate that Saleh, his family, and close "Afash" leaders exploited their power to plunder Yemen's wealth, monopolize resources and investments, and smuggle funds abroad to build real estate and businesses. No Yemeni citizen has ever witnessed any of these individuals investing in a national project to serve the people and the country. On the contrary, their investments were concentrated abroad—in Europe, the Gulf, Egypt, and Africa—in a systematic approach designed to expel investment.

These policies, which have led to Yemen's political and sovereign decisions being subordinated to the United States, are the primary reason for the aggression, blockade, and exacerbated suffering Yemen has endured, especially when the people sought to break free from foreign tutelage and achieve independence. Saleh and his henchmen were part of a conspiracy targeting the country. His top leaders joined the ranks of the US-Saudi aggression from the very beginning, including Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Sultan al-Barkani, Rashad al-Alimi, Muammar al-Iryani, Hafez Mayyad, al-Qirbi, and many others.

Wasted Resources and Absent Development

At that time, the country was not under war or siege under Saleh's regime. It possessed vast oil resources, estimated at approximately $500 billion in depleted reserves over 30 years. This sum, if managed wisely, would have been enough to spark a development revolution, an economic renaissance, and an infrastructure more advanced than that of many countries around the world. However, their rule ended, and the streets of the capital and governorates still lacked even the most basic services and were overflowing with sewage.

There was no real development. Rather, there was a deliberate drive to implement Zionist-American policies that kept Yemen in a state of stagnation, dependency, and deprivation. The governorate of Raymah is a living example, where services were never fully restored. Even in areas close to the capital, Sana'a, such as Bani Matar and Sanhan, there are no roads or development projects. Even within the capital itself, there are unpaved streets and no sewage or water, as in Sawan, Al-Arbaeen, and Bayt Baws.

Saleh regime squandered hundreds of golden opportunities for Yemen's development. Under his rule, oil, gas, and mineral resources were not invested, nor were the international financial grants they received under the guise of aid and development projects. The huge annual budgets allocated for service projects were not utilized. Instead, all these resources were used for plunder, corruption, and obscene enrichment for themselves.

Plundering Yemen's wealth and Funding foreign projects

The plundered wealth of Yemen is a stark example of how influence is exploited for personal gain. This wealth was based on absolute control over the state's economic levers, as government oil and gas contracts passed through closed channels, allowing Saleh family to benefit from dubious commissions and facilitations. The sources of this wealth were not limited to Yemen's interior, but extended to the smuggling of huge sums abroad, as confirmed by United Nations reports.

Saleh regime and its leaders, known as "Afafish," offered nothing real to Yemen except subservience, keeping the country under foreign tutelage for decades, and harnessing its resources to serve its enemies. After the failure of military options, the Zionist enemy is using  "Afafish" as internal tools to implement its schemes that serve its interests. Reports show that these leaders receive funds from the UAE and Saudi Arabia according to an Israeli plan to incite chaos and armed internal conflict, with the aim of distracting the Yemeni people from supporting Gaza and plunging them into internal conflict.

A Zionist Plan Against the Yemeni Position

These practices did not end with Saleh's departure; they continued through "new internal tools" employed by the aggressor forces after their military options failed. Documents indicate that the Zionist-American enemy is using the "Afafish" as new tools to implement schemes that serve its interests.

Currently, the wealth plundered by Saleh and his henchmen is being used to finance cells working to thwart the national state-building project, espoused by Sana'a, and to support the Zionist project to influence the Yemeni position on the Palestinian cause and support the Palestinian people, especially in the confrontation led by Palestinian resistance factions in "Al-Aqsa Flood" battle against the war crimes of genocide, starvation, forced displacement, and annexation decisions issued by the criminal Zionist "government."

This move is an extension of their historical loyalty to the Americans and Zionists, and their actual goal is to return Yemen to the fold of Zionist guardianship and its Emirati and Saudi tools. The facts reveal that the "Afafish" are not qualified to embrace the concerns of the Yemeni people, and that their slogans about hunger and salaries are merely deception and misleading.

How can those who are responsible for the crisis claim today that they are embracing the concerns of the people? More importantly, these tools should have sought to unify efforts against the American-Saudi enemy, which has destroyed the country and besieged the people for more than ten years.

Unfortunately, the leaders of "Afafish" did not take an honorable stance against the aggression and did not demand that Saudi Arabia and the UAE restore the salaries of state employees. Indeed, the positions of these leaders were extremely negative. This confirms that the American-Zionist enemy that is motivating them today to raise these slogans is the same one bombing ports and oil facilities and imposing a stifling blockade on the Yemeni people.
