According to the document, the militia imposed on the carpetbaggers 2.5 million riyals in the old version (the dollar is about 538 riyals), as monthly taxes.

The document shows that the new agreement was implemented at the beginning of last March, that is, only a year after Houthi allegations that it had completely stopped any levies or collections from peasants in Sanaa.
