Abu Ivanka and Abu Gabriel

Democratic traditions have triumphed in America and Trump has returned to the White House as president.

The eccentric man was not wanted by the US administration institutions, he faced the deep state, famous influencers, and cases filed against him in US courts, in addition to the harsh ruling against him by the Houthi state court in Sana’a.

What is interesting about Trump’s return is that the American electoral college accepted Abu Ivanka’s candidacy file to rule America despite the ruling of the court under the control of Abu Jibril al-Houthi. What happened damages the reputation of the Houthis and shows them as a fragile group whose decisions are underestimated by the world, even though the group does not stop striking Yemenis to influence international politics, as happened about two weeks ago, when it struck the town opposite the village of Kharaib Taris, north of Taiz, with a missile that went off the road.

The electoral procedures that allowed Trump to return must arouse resentment among the group, and hold accountable the Houthi criminal investigations, which did not inform the competent departments in America of Trump’s judicial record as one of those with a criminal record, according to the same criminal record holders in Sana’a, even though these measures are being carried out by the Houthis with Yemenis whom no one knows and who have not committed a crime or even a trivial mistake.

A few days ago, the Houthis detained a young man I know, who works in areas under their control and lives among them. He never moved to areas under the control of the legitimate government. He was a child when the war broke out and grew up in areas under their control. The Houthis informed his family that his name was on the list of those wanted by the Houthi security services and claimed that he was a soldier in the ranks of the national army forces.

This young man was not the first person to be kidnapped by the group because his name was on their lists, despite the young man’s ignorance of the accusation. This is the second person from the same village in less than two months. The first was a shepherd who grew up in the pasture and did not know the city. Years ago, the shepherd prepared his expatriation papers and traveled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. When he returned and his visa expired, he bought another visa and headed to Sana’a to process it. There, the Houthi criminal investigations arrested him on the pretext that his name was on the wanted lists of those with criminal records. After the help of God and the righteous, and after looting money from his relatives, the Houthis released him, but they arrested him again in Dhamar when he traveled to Saudi Arabia: Your name is among the wanted.

An innocent Yemeni who is unknown to anyone and has not committed a crime does not pass through the Houthi checkpoints because his name is on their wanted lists. However, in less than a month, two famous names on the Houthi wanted lists slipped through their hands: Abu Ivanka and Ghazwan.

We may understand Ghazwan’s leap and the Houthis’ leniency with him, because he does not pose a threat to them by influencing international politics, according to analysts, but how did they allow Trump to return to the White House, despite his fame and the influence he will have, without any measures or protest, at least with a small gesture!?

In politics, what appears before people of agreements and discussions does not affect reality, as much as what goes on from below.. And based on the unnoticed messages that govern the relationship between Abu Ivanka and Abu Jibril, and the common interests of the two men in the Middle East, it seems that the region is heading towards radical transformations, otherwise how did Jahaf allow Trump to return to the presidency?!

In general, the Yemenis and the world have four years to monitor the situation.
