The terrorist Houthi militia closed a commercial market affiliated with the Shaab Ibb Sports Club, in the center of Ibb Governorate (central Yemen), as part of ongoing efforts for two years to close it and seize its land.

The club said in a statement signed by the media official that five Houthi security crews closed the wholesale vegetable market, owned by the club’s investments, on Monday, without judicial orders or guidance from the Public Prosecution, and without the slightest right and against the wishes of the beneficiaries, the tenants and the club.

The club added that the closure came "to serve personal interests and desires represented by serving the so-called "Moeen Al-Abraqi" - the owner of a competing market supported by the Houthis - who repeatedly tried in vain to move the market, using his influence in all its forms to harm the public interest."

The club explained that what the militia security did "not only reflects disregard for laws and ethics, but also represents a direct threat to the stability of the club and a flagrant violation of its rights and interests, and a blatant assault on its modest resources, which negatively affects its sporting and social activities."

The statement stressed that the club will continue to adhere to its financial and legal rights and its commitment to the principle of order and law to protect its properties, and that the administrative body will continue to work hard and diligently to ensure the club's future and bright ambitions, calling on what it called the concerned authorities to "review these actions."

During the past two years, all attempts by the militia to move the vegetable market (wholesale) from the lands of the Shaab Club in Al-Dhahar to the “Green Brigade” market in the “Al-Sabil” area west of the city of Ibb, which is affiliated with the Houthi investor from Amran, “Moeen Al-Abraqi,” have failed.

According to informed sports sources, the militia aims to empty the market floor, which is located in the heart of the city, where the most expensive and valuable lands are located in all Yemeni cities, as a prelude to seizing it.

During the years of the coup, the Houthi militia looted the lands of Ibb clubs and rented them to investors, while continuing to occupy sports facilities in the governorate, which negatively affected the performance of the governorate’s clubs in various sports competitions.
