The structure of the Houthi supervisory system parallels the administrative structure of the state at the governorate level. The general supervisor is the apex of this hierarchical organisation, and he is the ‘shadow counterpart’ of the formal state governor. He is in charge of forming the Popular and Revolutionary Committees and of appointing lower-level supervisors at the district level. Moreover, he is capable of exerting pressure to make the ‘formal’ governor comply with Houthi directives. The general supervisor also appoints three supervisors in charge of specific domains: educational, social and security supervisors.829 Serial Name Position Location Remarks 1 Abdul Basit Ali al-Hadi Governor Sana’a 1 September 2019 Muhammad Jaber Awad Governor Sa’ada ‫عبد الباسط علي الهادي‬ 2 ‫محمد جابر عوض‬ 3 Dr. Faisal Jamaan Governor Amran Governor Hajjah ‫دكتور فيصل جمعان‬ 4 Major General Hilal Abdo Ali Hassan alSufi830 10 December 2017 ‫لواء هالل عبده علي حسن‬ ‫الصوفي‬ 5 Major General Amer Governor Hussain Amer al-Marani Al-Jawf ‫لواء عامر حسين عامر المراني‬ 5 Sheikh Muhammad Hussain al-Maqdashi Governor Dhamar Governor Ibb Governor Al-Dhale’e ‫الشيخ محمد حسين المقدشي‬ 6 Sheikh Abdul Wahid Salah ‫الشيخ عبد الواحد صالح‬ 7 Major General Mohammed Saleh alHaddi ‫لواء محمد صالح الهدي‬ 828 How al-Qaeda leader Harith al-Azi escaped to the Houthis.
