Aden, Sha'ban 6, 1438, May 2, 2017, SPA -- The conflicts between the coup parties in Sanaa are escalating day by day in various forms, including the media war, accusing each other of plotting and betrayal, while each of them plans for the right time to attack the other after the success of the Arab coalition forces and the Yemeni National Army in restoring the Yemeni governorates to be deprived of all their aspirations for the continuation of power against the people's will. The attack by Al-Houthi militias on one of the radio stations belonging to the ousted Saleh in Sanaa last Thursday, has embodied the plan being carried out by the leader of Al-Houthi rebels Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, by which he directed the supervisors of the so-called popular committees belonging to Al-Houthi family to confiscate and mute any voice belonging to the deposed Saleh in order to completely kick him out the Yemeni scene. Media sources said that Al-Houthi gunmen have changed the radio's programs and replaced them with slogans of Al-Houthi militias, stressing that the incident comes in the context of escalating the dispute between the allies of the coup and signs of a coup by Al-Houthi group against Saleh. The radio station "Yemen FM" has been stopped since last Thursday, but the radio justified it for a technical malfunction and a disruption of the transmission station, promising to return to transmission on Friday, but this did not happen. Since the coup against the legitimacy and Al-Houthi militias' entry into Sana'a by force, these militias have intensified their media presence via radio waves because of their ability to spread and expand in a large geographical area and at a lower cost, helped by the nature of the Yemeni countryside, where the radio stations are widely broadcasting, and Yemenis see them as the most important media. The number of radio stations broadcasting in Sana'a exceeded 27, including 13 commercial radio stations and one governmental, Sana'a Radio, while the rest are owned by Al-Houthi pro-figures and broadcast programs supporting Al-Houthi group and have a large audience. Broadcasting of these radios covers the suburbs of Sana'a and nearby governorates, such as Dhamar, Amran, Al-Mahweet and Hajja. The help of experts from Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization and Iran's Revolutionary Guard has supported Al-Houthi militias in this media deployment after their coup against the legitimacy. --SPA 14:54 LOCAL TIME 11:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w391022
