Aden, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
The Brotherhood, which controls the legitimacy decision, insists on obstructing the formation of the new government that may be announced under the Riyadh Agreement.
It was likely that the new government would be announced on Thursday, according to several sources, after agreement on the proposed names of ministerial portfolios.
Earlier, the London-based Arab newspaper quoted sources in Riyadh as saying that the announcement of the new Yemeni government will take place in the coming hours.
Media affiliated with General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar reported, last Wednesday, that the interim President, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, agreed to the proposed names to represent the new government, and it will be announced on (Thursday), which did not happen.
However, informed sources indicated that the interim president held on to some of the leaders who participated in the events of last August, within the new government, most notably Ahmed Al-Maisari, one of the reasons for the delay in its announcement, in addition to the escalation of the Brotherhood militia in Abyan Governorate, in the south of the country.
The battle of Shuqra
Commenting on the Brotherhood’s reluctance in legitimacy to announce the government, the leader of the Southern Transitional Council, Waddah bin Attia, said that the formation of the new government will not take place before one of the parties resolves the battle of Shuqra.
Ibn Attiyah said in a tweet on "Twitter": By reading the psychology of President Hadi, I say that it is impossible to announce the government before one of the parties resolves the battle of Shuqra. "
He added: "If the STC wins it and wins, Hadi will announce the government to keep the 7/7 Gang controlling half of the power temporarily, and if the Muslim Brotherhood militias settle it and enter Aden, Hadi will announce the government after he hands over the sovereign ministries to the Brotherhood."
An agreement to dominate the south
Politician and Member of Parliament Aidaroos Nasr Al-Naqib says that the Brotherhood who is obstructing the Riyadh Agreement is not against the agreement as an agreement, but rather against the presence of partners who do not accept their agendas.
He pointed out that the Brotherhood wanted an agreement that would give them hegemony over the south, even without southerners, after they lost control of the north and the approaching fall of Marib in the hands of the Houthis, with or without an agreement with the Houthi.
Al-Naqeeb added that the only gain for the southerners from the Riyadh Agreement is for the people in the form of normalization of civilian life, restores stability to the south, provision of services and payment of dues to state employees suspended in the context of the starvation war. This is what the blockers of the agreement (the Brotherhood) do not want because the return to normalcy in the southern governorates deprives them of one of the tools of war on the south.
Reassess the alliance's relationship with legitimacy
Political analyst Dr. Hussein Laqour Bin Idan believes that legitimacy and its war that lasted for more than five years without victory has entered the stage of futility and has to re-evaluate its relationship with it.
Ibn Idan said in a tweet on his official account on "Twitter" Friday: Yemeni legitimacy and its war have entered the stage of absurdity, so it became imperative for the Arab coalition to re-evaluate its relationship with legitimacy and search for allies other than those who wasted years in a futile war marked by corruption and deception by the militia army, which proved that it has never been with the alliance.
Laqour concluded by saying: “(The Brotherhood’s Army) cannot fight a real war against its Houthi masters.
