Fights and fistfights.. Sources for "Yemen Youth" reveal the conflict within the corridors of the Council of Ministers

Special sources revealed to Yemen Youth Channel that there was an administrative conflict within the Council of Ministers, which developed over the past two days into verbal attacks and then physical clashes between the Council’s employees.

The sources told the "From the Other Side" program presented by colleague Abdullah Dubla on the "Yemeni Youth" channel that the conflict began between the Director of the Prime Minister's Office, Anis Baharitha, and the Secretary-General of the Council, Mutee Damaj, due to the disappearance of financial checks from the General Secretariat.

According to the sources, the checks were cashed by Anis Baharitha, without being signed by the Secretary-General of the Council, Mutee Damaj, which prompted the latter to form a committee to investigate this matter.

The sources said that while the committee was doing its work, Anis Baharitha stormed the meeting, verbally abused Secretary-General Damaj, and took the two people who were being investigated out of the room and took them in his car, according to a memo published on social media.

The sources added that the member of the Presidential Leadership Council, Abdullah Al-Alimi, summoned Anis Baharitha and Mutee Damaj to reconcile and resolve the dispute between them amicably, as he summoned them to reconcile over a lunch, but the dispute between them developed verbally and then they clashed with each other while they were eating lunch.

The sources confirmed that Baharitha took the broth and threw it in the face of the Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, Mutee Damaj, before the clash between them was broken up by the member of the Leadership Council, Abdullah Al-Alimi.

The sources attributed the reason for the dispute between the two parties to an administrative conflict, resulting from poor communication and a rift between Prime Minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak and the Secretary-General of the Council, Mutee Damaj, considering that the latter is affiliated with the former Prime Minister, Maeen Abdulmalik, according to what bin Mubarak sees.

Sources indicate that Baharitha relied on the Prime Minister's directives, as he knew about the rift between them, expressing their regret over the development of differences within the corridors of the Council of Ministers in light of the exceptional circumstances the country is experiencing, and the unprecedented economic collapse in the national currency.

It is noteworthy that this comes days after a transitional leader kidnapped a number of government officials, including the Assistant Director of the Prime Minister's Office, Ali Al-Naimi, for unknown reasons.
