Is Abyan waiting for the arrival of the Houthi to the crews of Ibn Adyo?

Shabwa, NewsYemen, private:

The betrayals of the Muslim Brotherhood in Shabwa represent an existential threat not only to Shabwa, but to the neighboring governorates and those closest to it geographically, such as Abyan and Hadramawt, which necessitates the movement of the Abyan and Hadhramaut tribes and their living forces to stop the absurdity practiced by the Brotherhood and Ibn Adyo in Shabwa.

When the districts of Al-Bayda fell, it was an early warning of an imminent danger heading towards the districts of contact with Al-Bayda. However, the Brotherhood militias did not pay attention to this danger, as they were covering a great betrayal that required the handing over of the districts of Bayhan to the Houthis.

The Brotherhood’s militias or their camps did not move when the Houthis camped at the head of the Al-Qanaza front and mobilized their forces and prepared for the smooth invasion of a large geographical area of Shabwa land because the plan was to make way for the Houthis to reach these areas.


The governorates of Abyan and Hadhramaut, with their tribal, political and military components, demand a responsible move that anticipates handing over the Brotherhood to the rest of the Shabwa districts to the Houthis, not in defense of Shabwa, but rather to protect Abyan and Hadramawt, as the neighbor’s smoke does not stop at his window, but rather reaches the homes of his neighbors.

There are also tribes that extend geographically within the governorates of Abyan, Shabwa, Hadramawt and Shabwa, and this makes the danger of the Brotherhood lurking in the heart of Ataq, represented by the governor Ibn Udayo and his team of military leaders belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood.

What happened in Harib, Jabal Murad and al-Juba represents a microcosm of what awaits the governorates of Abyan, Hadramout and Shabwa, because the fall of Harib represented a stab in the back of al-Jubah, and the Houthis' penetration of the Juba fronts and the military advance stifled the Jabal Murad district and made Houthi control of it an easy task.

The Houthi militia does not depend on geographical borders between the governorates, but rather moves militarily according to a planning that views all of Yemen as a “single theater of operations.” Here, the process of moving against the Houthi militia must secure Shabwa from the danger of the Brotherhood. The other face of the Houthis or the advanced force for them outside the presence of their forces.

Ibn Udayo and his Brotherhood team represent a real threat to the security of Abyan and Hadramawt, and betting on his representation of legitimacy or being considered a governor appointed by the president does not prevent the danger of allowing him to remain in his position and to control the course of a battle whose results are known in advance.

Abyan needs not the legitimacy of Ibn Adyo and Hadi, which will bring defeat and the Houthis home, but rather a responsible, self-reliant move and honest allies capable of defeating the militia projects, both Brotherhood and Houthi.

The legitimacy of Al-Arada did not save the Murad tribes from the Houthi hordes and their crimes, despite the fact that the Ma’rib tribes were leading the confrontation with the Houthis for 7 years, while Ma’rib was liberated in 2015 with genuine panic from Emirati Arab forces that participated in the fighting and provided support, weapons and everything the battle needed.

Legitimacy is not an alien army that monopolizes the battle and victory over the Houthis. Rather, it is a broad title for defeat, corruption, nepotism, conspiracy, and a cloak embroidered with the ambitions of the Brotherhood, enrichment projects, looting, and monopolizing privileges and interests within the paralytic gangs that revolve in the space of their interests and not in the space of the battle of the people and the homeland.

Abyan must raise her voice and determine her choices according to the interests of her children and not according to the whims of Hadi and Ahmed al-Maysari, and the tribes of Abyan and their living community need a move that puts Abyan’s insurance at the forefront of everyone’s choices before it is too late.

Abyan can build a purely tribal force against the Houthi militias and works to weave new alliances outside the legitimacy of defeat.  It is unreasonable for Abyan able to remain in the file of General Ali Mohsen and pay a price for this sincerity that may have fallen into the hands of the Houthis, while she is waiting for the panic of those fleeing from hunger to the outskirts of Shaqra.
