The Houthi insurgents began confiscating the western neighborhood of Sanaa, claiming they were built on endowment lands, after imposing a 20 percent levy for the "Zakat of Rikaz."
Although a year has passed since the Houthis announced their intention to confiscate large areas of land in the Asr region on the western side of Sanaa, many did not expect that the insurgents would take this step and summon hundreds of families in this neighborhood, whether from indigenous peoples or residents or who bought lands and built their homes and businesses.
