In February 2017, the Secretary General of Al-Nasiri Lawyer Abdullah Noman called from Aden for what he called a “national alignment of all political and social forces and components in support of legitimacy,” to crystallize and approve a comprehensive national vision around two goals, namely completing the battle for liberation and restoring state institutions.
At the time, an invitation met with contempt mixed with mockery of the leadership of legitimacy and those who control its decision from the Brotherhood, leaning on the euphoria of victories on the ground by liberating Aden and the southern governorates from the Houthi coup militias.
Noaman was then seeing the signs of the failure that is present today in the legitimacy camp, as he indicated at the time that the tasks of this alignment are “to constitute a driving force to confront the phenomena of deviation, corruption and insufficiency in the performance of the various agencies at the central levels and to confront any tendencies that tend to be exclusivist.”
The exclusivist tendencies that Nouman warned about were achieved by Hadi and the Brotherhood less than two months later, with Hadi issuing decisions to dismiss Aidarous al-Zubaidi from his position as governor of Aden, specifically on the 27th of April, the date that the southerners consider the day of declaring war on the south from Sana’a in 94, to be considered The decision is like a new declaration of this war.
The decision represented the spark that accelerated the announcement of the Southern Transitional Council under its leadership and membership of prominent southern leaders, who Hadi dismissed from their positions under pressure from the Brotherhood. This point was the beginning of the division within the legitimacy camp, and its repercussions are still present today on the political and military scene, if not the battle against Coup killed.
On the other hand, however, the event represented a push for political forces within the legitimacy to try to remedy the situation and re-correct efforts towards a battle against the coup and restore the state and its institutions. The year 2017 witnessed intense meetings between the leaderships of the Socialist Party and the Nasserist organization, which resulted in setting the broad lines for declaring a political alliance of legitimate forces working to correct the performance of legitimacy As well as the relationship with the coalition, by developing a joint comprehensive military, political and economic vision that manages the battle against Al-Houthi and the situation in the liberated governorates.
According to sources familiar with the progress of these movements, the idea received a consensus of the most prominent political forces supporting legitimacy, and the number of parties and political forces supporting the idea reached 7 parties, amid a vague position from the Islah Party (the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen) between the conditional acceptance of some observations and the request for amendments on the Alliance programme.
According to the sources, the idea remained throughout the year 2018 between the response of the reform leaders residing in Riyadh, in addition to attempts to persuade the leadership of the legitimacy of the idea of the alliance and to announce under its framework so that it is not portrayed as an alternative or parallel political entity, and on the other hand it is obliged to implement it .
According to the sources, it was clear that the Islah leadership sought to obstruct and kill the idea by lengthening its comments and amendments, while pressuring Hadi to ignore the project and warn him that it represented a coup against him, which it succeeded in for a whole year.
With the escalation of pressure from the political forces, the alliance was announced at a press conference in Seiyun in conjunction with the parliament session, with the aim of killing the idea and preventing its shedding and burying it once the political alliance was announced and Rashad Al-Alimi as its president, who is one of the Brotherhood’s tools, to turn the alliance from a tool Rescue and correction to a mere machine for printing data, most of which serve the direction of the Brotherhood, the latest of which was the statement he issued on the occasion of the anniversary of unity, which angered the southerners after describing their identity as "extrusive."
A few days after this statement, prominent Brotherhood leader Hamid al-Ahmar was revealing a new political entity called the "Yemen Salvation Front", in a press interview in which he strongly attacked the coalition and reached the conclusion that "the harm the coalition has caused to Yemenis is no less than the harm caused by Iran."
The tasks of this front, according to al-Ahmar, he said, is that it seeks to “overcome the major imbalance in the performance of legitimacy, correct the relationship between legitimacy and the coalition, and search for societal exits to save Yemen.” It is almost the same principles advocated by the Nasserist organization and the Socialist Party with it 4 years ago, which exposes the extent of hypocrisy What the Brotherhood practices politically, and confirms that everything the group calls for has a hidden interior that contradicts its declared appearance.
The return of leaders in the group to talk about principles that worked to annihilate them 4 years ago, it appears that her talk is nothing more than a political blackmail practiced by the group with the aim of passing its interests. And the establishment of military bases on the island of Myeon.
