The weekly lectures will be held every Wednesday at 12:00 pm.

Sanaa University has been targeted by the Houthis since their takeover of the city. The militias have sought to bring about a change of curriculums, appoint their loyalists, and organize lectures that market their ideas.
Located in the country’s capital, Sanaa, the university was established in 1970 as the first institution of higher education in Yemen.
In December 2017, the Sanaa University Council appointed more than 300 Houthi supporters as academics, reportedly without considering professional and academic standards. Several deans who oppose the Houthis were also sacked.
The union of faculty members and their assistants protested the move, noting that a number of those who attended the Council’s meeting were not members of the Council, and that the members were actually pressured into making these decisions.

The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and note that America was "supervising the war" with Israeli-British support.
The course on the Arab-Israeli conflict discussed American and British imperialism, Judaism and Zionism, and glorified Hezbollah, Iran and Bashir al-Assad’s regime.
