The Houthi authorities' capital police, rescue forces and command-and-control administration issued a circular barring people from chewing qat in the streets after midnight and restricting late chewing at security points and bases. Patrols were told to take names and summon repeat offenders, and the inspector general was ordered to set up committees to track late-night chewing. The circular regulated public behaviour; it did not ban qat, which remains a legal crop and trade.[1]
