Taiz, NewsYemen, special:
Political activist Ghassan Al-Jilani said that Qatar is using its Brotherhood militias in the Al-Hujariyah areas in Taiz Governorate, as a spearhead to invade the south and west coast of Yemen.
Al-Jilani said, in a series of tweets on his Twitter page, that Doha had prepared camps in the town of "Rasin" in the geography of Al-Hujariyah , deep in the heights overlooking the western coast line, months after the completion of the construction of 3 other camps: "Al-Sunnah", "Al-Fawada" and "Yafres ", the latter was the first nucleus.
Al-Jilani added that the newly created camps are the first direct force calculated on the State of Qatar in the soil on the outskirts of the south, where Doha is working with the Muslim Brotherhood to deploy about 12,000 soldiers in the first phase of transforming the geography of Al-Hijria into a spearhead against the south and the west coast.
He pointed out that Qatar is moving the armed militias that it established in the eyes of Brotherhood leader Hammoud Al-Mikhlafi, from the "Yafres" camp in the uniform of the military police, at a time when the Arab coalition was preoccupied with the developments of the military situation in Al-Jawf and Marib.
Al-Gilani explained that a Brotherhood leader named Azzam al-Sanawi supervises the Doha camps in Taiz, and takes command of the “Sunnah” camp, while Shawqi al-Mikhlafi, Hamoud al-Mikhlafi’s brother, takes command of “Yafres” camp, while the “Fawada” camp is led by a third Brotherhood leader named "Adnan Al-Fawdaei," all of them are terrorist leaders, according to the sources.
He stressed that the Brotherhood-controlled Taiz axis provides great facilities in the training camps of the 17th Infantry Brigade and 22nd Mecha Brigade, which, along with many schools in Taiz affected by the war with the Houthis, have been transformed into training camps for the Qatari-funded militias called the "Hamad bin Khalifa" brigades.
Al-Jilani added that Qatar has attracted soldiers from the camps of the 35th Armored Brigade, the 4th Mountain Infantry Brigade, the 145th Brigade, the 17th Infantry Brigade, and the 22nd Meca Brigade, and all of these brigades follow the Taiz axis, which is subject to the Brotherhood, while Hammoud Al-Mikhlafi has great influence within the "170 Air Defense Brigade" through his eldest son, who heads the staff of his war.
Doha was able to attract dozens of leaders and soldiers from the Yemeni army brigades on the fronts of "Saada", the stronghold of the Houthis, after an invitation by Brotherhood leader Hammoud Saeed Al-Mikhlafi.
Al-Jilani said that the Doha camps in Taiz have been active in purchasing heavy and medium weapons from the Yemeni army camps, including an advanced cannon that was owned by the leadership of the Fourth Brigade, Mountain Infantry, affiliated with the Taiz axis, which announced in the past two days the loss of heavy artillery from its positions in Al-Hajaria, where militias are positioned Qatar.
These militias are also trained and armed, according to the sources, on separate payments, some of which are located in the camps, and others as a reserve force that is called in if needed to reinforce any battle, as happened in the battle of sweeping Al-Hujariyah and the attack on the positions of the 35th Armored Brigade in August 2019.
