Houthi militias have threatened the General Peoples Congress (GPC) leadership of dissolving and uprooting the party as a response to an unofficial decision taken by the “Sanaa Congress” to suspend its participation in the insurgent cabinet, sources in Sana’a said Wednesday. A GPC party member, who wished to remain anonymous, told Asharq Al-Awsat that the new head of the so-called supreme political council, Mahdi al-Mashat, threatened on Wednesday to dissolve the GPC party and to take its members to trial on charges of “high treason.” “Mashat delivered the threats after summoning Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, head of the insurgents cabinet, to a meeting to discuss this issue,” the sources said. Last Tuesday, the so-called “Sanaa Congress” leaders held a meeting chaired by deputy leader Sadeq Amin Abou Rass and decided to suspend their partnership with the Houthis, in response to the marginalization and replacement of several ministers and party officials with militia members, the sources said. Observers said that although their decision would not affect the behavior of Houthis, they could however be the start of a new disobedience by forces loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in light of reports on the collapse of the Houthi militias in the battlefield and mainly on the west coast. Since the killing of Saleh, GPC leaderships in Sana’a have been frustrated for being forced to follow the Houthi project.
