Yemen: Foreign intelligence agencies played a crucial role in undermining Yemen's sovereignty and independence by destabilizing its political, economic, and social systems. 

The confessions of this network confirm that these agencies spared no effort in preventing any programs or initiatives aimed at reforming Yemen's internal situation. Through their local operatives, they tracked individuals, political entities, opinion leaders, and both official and popular pressure groups, identifying them and gathering evidence that helped eliminate them in one way or another.

The Role of the "RGP Project" Funded by USAID:

On the evening of Saturday, Yemeni security forces in Sana'a released new confessions from members of the spy network that worked for the CIA and Israeli Mossad. These confessions revealed a range of information that would astonish even the devil himself.

Among these confessions is the so-called "RGP Project," which began in 2013 and lasted for approximately two years. Some reports suggest it started earlier and went through planning and assessment phases before the official launch.

According to official sources, the "RGP Project" is an initiative funded by USAID, aiming to strengthen the institutional framework of civil society organizations in Yemen's northern governorates. Its stated goal was to improve services provided to the community and enhance the role of civil society in local development.

The project's primary announced objectives included providing training programs to strengthen institutional and administrative capacities, supporting organizations in delivering better services to the local community, and building strong partnerships between NGOs and government and local entities through awareness campaigns to increase understanding of the importance of civil society in development.

During this period, government officials spoke of the project's successes, including its role in improving institutional capacities, with many NGOs reportedly becoming more effective in managing their projects. The activities were said to have increased community participation and strengthened civil society's role in decision-making and local development, aiming to deliver better services and improve the quality of services provided to the community, such as education and health.

However, from the details revealed in the spy network's confessions, it is evident that some aspects of the "RGP Project" posed a threat to internal security under the government's watch. The project was exploited for illicit purposes, leaking sensitive information and misusing funds provided to NGOs for illegal activities that were detrimental to Yemeni society.

Regarding the project's management of activities, it became clear that it contributed to destabilization; the activities were not managed equitably, which exacerbated social and political tensions among different groups within society. There was no strict oversight or transparent procedures to ensure that resources were used correctly and that the developmental goals were achieved without negatively impacting internal security.

Given the social tensions and rising voices condemning discrimination among different groups during that period, it is evident that these organizations were exploited for political purposes. The activities focused on certain groups at the expense of others, which destabilized political stability, heightened social unrest, and misappropriated financial resources, contributing to widespread corruption and weakening trust in state institutions. This increased foreign intervention and violated national sovereignty.

Some activities were also exploited to recruit individuals into groups with illegal activities, negatively impacting national unity and the local economy. This widened the gap between different groups, fueled separatist movements, and exacerbated regional tensions, especially after activities were concentrated in specific areas while neglecting others.

The Government Was Part of the Subversive Work:

The RGP Project is part of a long series of U.S.-Zionist intelligence programs aimed at destabilizing security and stability, stifling reform and development programs in Yemen. The project was implemented with the help of several local and international partners who contributed to its activities, including some private universities, such as the University of Science and Technology, which was considered the top academic institution of the Yemeni Congregation for Islah, as well as local civil society organizations and some international agencies, such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Health Organization (WHO), which provided technical and financial support.

Not only that, but the Yemeni government at that time also contributed to implementing aspects of the project through government ministries and institutions, cooperating in providing logistical support, facilitating access to targeted areas, and providing the necessary infrastructure for activities.

According to the indicators, the government worked within the framework of the "RGP Project" to coordinate between NGOs and local entities to ensure the effective and integrated implementation of activities. Some ministries provided technical and training support to organizations to enhance their institutional capacities, and the government participated in developing the project's strategic plans to ensure they aligned with national development goals.

But instead of contributing to increasing food availability and accessibility for affected families by improving agricultural production infrastructure and enhancing resilience to climate change, the project created temporary job opportunities for women through cash-for-work programs.

Despite some Yemeni voices criticizing the RGP Project's activities at the time and accusing it of reducing agricultural productivity by providing monthly food baskets that led many farmers to abandon their fields since they were receiving free sustenance without effort, and despite the project's focus on using inappropriate and environmentally unfriendly agricultural techniques that harmed natural resources and increased negative environmental impacts.

At the time, the government dismissed these claims as "malicious" and pointed out that the project provided training and technical support to local cadres to enhance their capabilities in managing agricultural and development projects in line with its orientations. It also conducted awareness campaigns to increase awareness of the importance of food security and proper nutrition.

Supporting Democracy and Human Rights:

During Yemen's February 11 Youth Revolution in 2011, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) played an important role in controlling youth trends and recruiting them through programs "supporting the democratic process and enhancing civic participation."

The confessions of the new spy cell members can summarize the malicious role that the institute played by providing training and technical support to young activists, recruiting them, and organizing visit programs to the United States to develop their abilities, exchange experiences, discover skills, and recruit more elements.

The NDI continued its activities under the pretext of supporting the democratic process in Yemen, focusing on providing technical advice to government and electoral institutions, enhancing the participation of women and youth in political life, and offering training programs to strengthen leadership and effective participation in the community.

Regarding the exposure of the infiltration of U.S.-Zionist intelligence networks, for example, during the National Dialogue Conference in Yemen, the NDI played a significant role in the outcomes of the conference's dialogue process. It provided technical and logistical support to many parties participating in the conference, including some political parties and civil society organizations.

According to reports from the institute itself, it confirms that it provided training and technical advice to conference participants, helping to enhance their negotiation skills and reach consensus solutions. It also contributed to organizing workshops and training sessions to strengthen dialogue and build trust among different parties.

Finally, the institute stated: "With the escalation of the conflict in Yemen, we faced significant challenges in implementing our programs, but we continued on the ground with innovative approaches that matched the difficult circumstances. For example, the institute used technology to enhance communication and remote training to maintain the continuity of our programs despite security challenges." The institute also demands the Sana'a government release three of its employees, further confirming the institute's involvement in hostile intelligence programs against Yemen's land and people.
