Fraudwiki Exposes International Complicity in Backing Houthis Through Aid Manipulation and Political Influence

A groundbreaking report by Fraudwiki (an online platform dedicated to exposing Fraud, Corruption, and Misleading Information) has uncovered a coordinated effort by international organizations and research centers to provide political cover for Iran-backed Houthis while diverting humanitarian assistance worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Authored by Dr. Abdulqader Al-Kharraz, head of the (#لن_نصمت #وين_الفلوس) campaign, the study titled "Manufacturing Legitimacy: How Fake Peace Lobbies and Biased Research Empower the Houthis" documents:

The report documents that over $32 billion in humanitarian aid has flowed into Yemen since 2014, with hundreds of millions allegedly funneled through corrupt NGOs and research centers to bolster the Houthis’ political standing. These entities are accused of running a coordinated influence campaign to whitewash the Houthis’ 2014 coup, rebrand their leaders as legitimate statesmen, amplify pro-Houthi propaganda, and exploit UN reports to shield the group from accountability.

Among the most shocking findings is the case of Abdulqader Al-Murtadha, a sanctioned Houthi official accused of prisoner abuses, who was nevertheless permitted to address the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva in 2020. The report also implicates UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg, alleging he obstructed critical decisions by Yemen’s Aden Central Bank, enabling the Houthis to continue looting state revenues.

Several organizations are named as key players in this scheme, including the Sana’a Center for Studies, which reportedly receives annual funding from George Soros, as well as NGOs such as Insan (led by Amir Al-Din Jahaf), Arwa (Ahmed Al-Shami), DeepRoot (Rafat Al-Akhali), and others accused of laundering the Houthis’ image. Former Yemeni figures like Nadia Al-Saqqaf and Khaldoon Bakheel are also implicated in supporting the rebels through media and research partnerships.

The report listed several NGOs and figures allegedly involved, including:

   "Insan" (led by Amir El-Din Jahaf)

   "Arwa" (led by Ahmed Al-Shami)

   "DeepRoot" (led by Raf'at Al-Akhali)

   "Hikma Program" (led by Abeer Al-Mutawakel)

   "Muwatana" (led by Radhia Al-Mutawakel)

   Sana’a Center for Studies, which reportedly received annual funding from Jewish businessman George Soros.

Media Manipulation

The report highlights disturbing media manipulation, including biased reporting by groups like Musa’ala for Human Rights, which allegedly distorted coverage of a prisoner suicide in Marib to smear Yemen’s internationally recognized government while ignoring the Houthis’ abuses.

Fraudwiki calls for an independent international investigation into aid diversion, sanctions on complicit organizations, and reforms to prevent UN mechanisms from being exploited. "The world is being tricked into bankrolling Yemen’s destruction," warns Dr. Al-Kharraz. "Unless peace efforts prioritize restoring state institutions and punishing violators, this crisis will never end."
