Houthis leverage Prophet's Birthday for military mobilization

The article focused on how the Houthi group exploits the celebration of the Prophet's Birthday to bolster their political and social influence and achieve their military objectives. The group uses elements of the celebration, such as decorating streets with green and organizing religious events, as platforms for mobilization and recruitment, promoting enlistment by promising job and financial rewards. They face difficulties in attracting new fighters due to worsening economic conditions and salary stoppages, resorting to a mix of incentives and economic pressure, including imposing levies and directives from leadership to increase participation—despite local opposition and growing concerns over the costs of these elaborate festivities. At the same time, the group seeks to merge propaganda and mobilization with the celebratory activities to escalate military efforts, reflecting a shift in how they use this occasion to serve their strategic and political interests.
