Shabwa - NewsYemen, special:
Residents of the city of Ataq, the capital of Shabwa governorate, are afraid of the Houthi militia’s return to the city after seven years of its departure, and in a scene similar to the scenario of their return to Beihan, Usaylan, Ain and Al-Olaya, when its residents became one day and militia fighters suddenly chanted in the middle of their cities without much fighting.
The sudden fall of the regions and the failure of the forces to defend them made people in Ataq and other regions put their hearts on their hands for fear of priestly militias reaching their areas and taking control of them.
The great fall in Bayhan and other districts, and the suspicious silence of the Brotherhood’s authority in the governorate, and its failure to push the forces to restore these areas or at least to defend the capital and other areas, provoked terror, fear and panic among the citizens, and many began to think about displacement and escape from the terrifying future in the event the militias went to bring down Ataq.
Activists from the Shabwa governorate believe that the silence of the tribes, the resistance and the citizens, and their inaction to defend the areas that fell and the formation of fronts to defend the other areas that are still liberated, comes because of the actions carried out by the Brotherhood authority in the governorate and its war on the tribes and the resistance and its brotherhood to the governorate until it became the property of the Brotherhood only.
Shabwa activists talk about the militias’ bombing and invasion of the tribes of Laqmoush, Nisab, Jardan and Belharith, kidnapping opponents of the Brotherhood, the execution of the citizen Saeed Tajra al-Qumaishi, the killing of the young man bin Habtoor under torture in its prisons, and the kidnapping of children to blackmail their families. The province differentiates between them.
The Brotherhood militias kidnapped, killed, monitored elite soldiers and imprisoned them, who were the resistance men during the first war with the Houthi militia, which killed the spirit of resistance and caused the tribes to not mobilize and the resistance to defend the province.
The crimes and illegal actions carried out by the Brotherhood militias are paid for by the sons of Baihan, Ain and Usaylan, and the people of the entire province may pay for them. Beihan borders, but it is the actions of the Brotherhood that killed the spirit of resistance in every area it controlled.
The collapse of the areas controlled by the Brotherhood in Nihm, Al-Jawf, Marib and Al-Bayda, all the way to the areas of Shabwa itself, with no significant battles, raises fear among citizens who are wondering about the solution to preserve their areas and recover what was lost from them.
Observers believe that the ruling authority in Shabwa in its current form cannot be gathered around it because of what it did in the governorate and the solution is to change it and change its heads.
Shabwani society demands an authority that is acceptable to the tribes and all society that can bring them together on one word, in addition to urgent changes in the leadership of the armed and security forces and the appointment of competencies away from partisanship, nepotism and loyalties, and the rebuilding of the forces to be loyal to Shabwa and not to the Brotherhood, which is what political activist Abd Rabbo went to. Al-Awlaki, who said in his post: At this critical stage, Shabwa needs a consensual governor who will be at the same distance from all parties, reunite and bring everyone together on one word, unless the Bayhan scenario will be repeated.
Many of the people of Shabwa say that the problem comes from its governor, Muhammad bin Udayo, who turned the governorate into a spoil for his party and turned its capabilities, wealth and forces for the benefit of the Brotherhood, and changing it with a compatible personality will restore the governorate to what it was before and it is possible at that time to restore all the areas controlled by the Houthi militias.
The southern researcher Saeed Bakran believes that saving Shabwa is in the hands of its sons first, second and third, and the whole south is behind them, noting that Shabwa and the Shabwa community have a historical responsibility to move to change the reality so that the authority of Bin Adyo has failed in its most important duties, which is to protect the Shabwa districts, which were handed over without a fight to the Houthis.
"Bakran" continued, "The Shabwa authority also failed to create Shabwa unity and failed even in the price of derivatives that are more expensive in Shabwa today than Aden and Mukalla, stressing that its survival constitutes a crushing danger and a real obstacle to the liberation of Bayhan, the protection of Shabwa and the immunization of its society against the crushing danger that targets the identity of Shabwa." from its roots.
Bakran said, in his post on “Facebook”: “Unless the Shabwa tribes, their community and activists call for urgent action to dismiss Ben Adyo and hand over the task of liberating and protecting Shabwa to those who are worthy of it.”
Shabwa will fall into the greatest danger, and no one will be able to perform a task that is the task of the people of the land first and their responsibility, and everyone will support them, concluding, "Oh, Shabwa, do not make a mistake, Marib, time is like a sword."
