Sana'a, NewsYemen, a special report:
On September 21, the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, was celebrating in Sana'a the day of its fateful coup against power and its military control of state institutions and the capital, Sana'a, in conjunction with a state of euphoria with its success in controlling the Bayhan district in Shabwa governorate, which it succeeded in controlling without any significant resistance by the legitimate forces there, which are controlled and led by leaders affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen (the Islah Party).
Political and military observers and analysts unanimously agreed that the fall of the Bayhan district in Shabwa in the hands of the Houthi militia was nothing but an orchestrated handover carried out by the party controlling the political and military legitimacy decision, represented by the Muslim Brotherhood (Islah Party) for many hidden goals, some of which have a local dimension, including those related to dimensions external and regional.
Bayhan delivery and the goals of the local Brotherhood
Everyone remembers that, less than two months after the signing of the Riyadh Agreement between the legitimate government and the Southern Transitional Council on November 25, 2019, which was sponsored by Saudi Arabia and led to understandings according to which the legitimate government will be re-formed to include the representation of the Southern Transitional Council in it, the areas of Nihm, east of Sanaa and the entire Al-Jawf Governorate, all the way to some districts of Marib, were handed over to the Houthi militias with all their equipment and equipment, without the leaders and elements of the National Army led by the Muslim Brotherhood (Islah Party) engaging in any confrontation in those areas.
The process of handing over Nihm and Al-Jawf was a message that the Brotherhood wanted to convey to the Saudi-led coalition, which sponsored the Riyadh Agreement, that an attempt to undermine their control over the decision of legitimacy will have dire consequences for the outcome of the military battle against the Houthi militia, especially in the northern regions with the border geography of Saudi Arabia, as happened with the Riyadh Agreement, which the Brotherhood felt that by entering representatives of the Transitional Council into the government, it would undermine their control, and at the same time would reduce their role in the political and military presence in the southern governorates.
After that disaster, Yemeni, Saudi and Gulf political and media voices alike began to raise their voice to address the Saudi leadership that the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen is playing a suspicious role in dealing with the battle against the Houthi militia, and that they are implementing agendas that belong to them internally, goals belonging to its secret international organization, and the regional powers that Saudi Arabia opposes and stands against it, which is starting to be reflected in Saudi tendencies to try to pressure the legitimacy to return to the temporary capital, Aden, and to work from there, and to seek pressure towards gathering all Yemeni forces to unite to ensure the unification of their efforts for the battle against the Houthi militia.
All these developments raised more concern among the Islah party (the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen), who felt that the coalition, especially Saudi Arabia, might pressure them to make concessions regarding their complete dominance over the decision and authority of legitimacy politically and militarily.
Therefore, they obstructed the implementation of the Riyadh Agreement and created crises after another in the temporary capital, Aden and other southern governorates, particularly Shabwa, Mahra and Socotra, while their military forces began to provoke media battles in Taiz governorate, and proceeded to implement military moves aimed at creating justifications for a confrontation against the National Resistance Forces on the western coast. Specifically, the Guards of the Republic, led by Brigadier General Tariq Saleh.
In order to ensure that they maintain their control over the system of legitimacy at present, and to try to impose themselves as the largest forces within the framework of legitimacy in any upcoming political settlement with the Houthi militia, the Brotherhood hastened to fabricate crises and side battles far from the military battle that is taking place against the Houthi militia on many fronts, most notably the fronts of Marib, Al Bayda and Al Dhalea. While the Houthis were continuing their continuous attack on many fronts, especially Marib and Al-Bayda, the legitimacy led by the Brotherhood was carrying out a process of failure and systematic handover of the liberated areas to the Houthi militia.
While the Brotherhood escalated their battles against the Transitional Council in Aden, and their repeated military moves in Shabwa regarding the threat to control the Balhaf gas facility, their forces continued their failure on the front lines against the Houthi militias in Marib, Al Bayda, Hajjah, and Taiz, where we witnessed a complete cessation of any confrontations. In Hajjah and Taiz against the Houthi militia, while we found unprecedented negligence on the part of the Legitimacy Army against the Houthi militia attack in Al-Bayda, and a great defeatism in Marib, in which the Houthi militia was able to control some areas, the last of which was the center of the Abdiya district.
Although the success of the Houthi militia in breaking the resistance in Al-Bayda was an indication that Shabwa will be the next arena that the Houthi militia will go to control, the governorate leadership represented by the Brotherhood leader Muhammad bin Adyo, and the military forces called the Special Forces led by the Brotherhood leader, Brigadier General Abd Rabbo Kaab Al-Sharif, fled in front of the attack and progress of the Houthi militia, which was able to control the Bayhan district without any significant resistance, which provides new evidence of how the Brotherhood tampered with the military battle against the Houthi militia and used it as a means to achieve its goals with regard to the local aspect of continuing to impose its dominance over legitimacy and its decision in full.
