-Within 6 months, Houthis will request that the Houthi presidential advisor attends important meetings between President Abdurabu Hadi and international leaders. No more closed door meetings for Hadi only those done secretly. -Ambassadors in Yemen, China, Lebanon, Iran and Germany will be assigned by the Houthis to strengthen their links with those nations. -By early 2015, Houthis will investigate foreign intelligence involvement in Yemeni affairs and territories and limit its efforts going forward. -Allies of Saudi Arabia will be weakened to ensure Saudis influence in Yemeni politics is limited for years to come. -Houthis attacked the National Security Bureau (NSB) as well as the home of its chief, killing guards and raiding both. They claim the NSB was key to foreign interference in Yemeni affairs. Starting next year, the Bureau will witness major changes in its role and goals. -Though the Foreign Ministry is the responsibility of President Hadi, those to be assigned within the foreign ministry will be approved by the Houthis indirectly. -Yemenis linked with foreign intelligence will be hunted for and interrogated. -Days of Yemen accusing and threatening Iran for involvement in its affairs are most likely over. -By late 2015 The Ministry of Telecommunication will see dramatic changes, Houthis will also ensure the foreign censorship is halted with Yemeni communication lines, whether phones or internet. -Iranians will seek major presence close to Bab AlMandab. -Foreign allies will no longer be able to freely be involved in Yemeni affairs.
