Sana'a, NewsYemen, a special report:

When the Nehm district and Al-Jawf governorate fell into the hands of the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, the leaders, politicians, and media professionals of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen (the Islah Party) rushed to try to hide their involvement in that crime by launching intense media campaigns attacking the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, accusing them of betraying the so-called army.  and the failure to provide the necessary support to it to continue the battle against the Houthi militia.

Although this crime was sufficient for the coalition to realize the enormity of continuing to rely on the same tools of the Brotherhood, who control legitimacy and its government in managing the battle against the Houthi militia, the coalition leadership continued to support legitimacy, its government and those who control it in order not to allow the Houthi militia to feel arrogant and thus seek to achieve  More field victories and more geography that the legitimacy had controlled, all the way to Nihm, which was little separated from Sanaa.

Analysts explain to NewsYemen that the alliance’s position contributed to the Muslim Brotherhood’s (Islah Party) seeking to invest their control over the national army to play an opportunistic game in managing the relationship with the leadership of the coalition, especially after the appointment of Major General Saghir bin Aziz as Chief of the General Staff, which raised the people of Islah’ fears of  That this contribute to exposing the extent of financial corruption rampant with regard to the statements of the National Army, as the process of managing the military scene by the Brotherhood of Yemen began according to new rules based on facing the pressures of the coalition with more hidden coordination with the Houthi militia, and with more areas handed over to them in a way he did not expect  Even the most pessimistic or critical of the Brotherhood's positions and their political opportunism.

Handing over Shabwa and attacking the repositioning in the coast

 It was remarkable that the policy of the Brotherhood controlling legitimacy and its national army was not satisfied with using political opportunism against the Arab coalition by handing them over to the Houthi militias.  With the legitimate government, which was evident through the Yemeni Brotherhood’s intention to go far by handing over new areas to the Houthi militias, which reached the point of conspiring against the Al-Bayda governorate and handing over several directorates in Shabwa governorate to the militias without any military battle.

The handover of directorates in Shabwa to the Houthi militias was accompanied by Brotherhood media campaigns focused on attacking the Arab coalition and repeating the same allegations of its betrayal of the National Army and its standing behind the militias’ victory in Al-Bayda and Shabwa, allegations that were nothing but a broken record repeated by the Brotherhood’s media machine with every betrayal it carries out on the field, in addition  It launched a systematic media campaign glorifying the Brotherhood governor of Shabwa, Muhammad bin Adyo, and defending his policies in all ways, although he was the main reason for handing over several districts in Shabwa to the Houthi militia.

On the other hand, Brotherhood leaders continued their media campaigns in the direction of other national forces resisting the Houthi militias, as they found in the (repositioning) operation carried out by the joint forces on the western coast an opportunity to hide their plots in Shabwa by attacking the joint forces (consisting of the Giants Brigades and the Tuhami Resistance  And the National Resistance Forces, the "Guardians of the Republic" led by Brigadier General Tariq Saleh), and considering the (repositioning) as the withdrawal and handover of Hodeidah to the Houthi militias by the UAE and the leaders of the joint forces.

Despite the announcement issued by the leadership of the Arab coalition, which explained the essence and importance of the (repositioning) step carried out by the joint forces, the Brotherhood’s media machine continued to play the same role in attacking the coalition, especially the United Arab Emirates, and the joint forces, led by Brigadier General Tariq Saleh, and allegations of accusations were presented to them.  In an effort to hide the dangers of the handover of several districts from Shabwa to the Houthi militia, and the resulting military field damage to the course of the battle in Marib Governorate, the militias were carrying out daily advance campaigns in an effort to bring it down and control it.

The dismissal of Ben Adyo... the coalition is changing its directions

 The dismissal of the Islah governor of 

Shabwa, Muhammad bin Udayo, by President Hadi and the appointment of Awad al-Awlaki as his replacement represented the beginning of a new trend for the Arab coalition, whose leadership responsible for managing the battle against the Houthi militias in Yemen realized that continuing the approach of coping with the Brotherhood’s blackmail will be disastrous and will lead to the fall of Marib in the hands of the Houthi militias in particular.  And that the latter was exploiting its control over the three most important districts of Shabwa in managing its battle against Marib in an unprecedented way.

Analysts say to NewsYemen: The leadership of the Arab coalition sensed the danger of continuing the complacency after the Brotherhood handed over three directorates in Shabwa to the Houthi militias, not only on the battle of Marib, but also on the national security of Saudi Arabia and international navigation in the Arabian Sea, which was demonstrated by the dismissal of Ibn Adyo and the appointment of the new governor.  Shabwa Awad Al-Awlaki despite the amount of media propaganda that coincided with that by the Brotherhood in Yemen.

Analysts add: No sooner had a few days passed since the appointment of Governor Al-Awlaki, until signs of a new direction for the coalition began to appear through the orientation of several brigades of the Giants forces that were stationed in Hodeidah and carried out the repositioning process heading towards Shabwa to lead the battle to liberate it from the Houthi militia, and this coincided  With the launch of the joint forces, led by the National Resistance Forces (Guardians of the Republic), the battles to liberate new areas from the hands of the Houthi militias in Hays, Al-Jarrahi and Maqbna.

Analysts confirm that the victories that were achieved at the hands of the Giants forces in liberating the districts of Shabwa from Houthi control, leading to the liberation of the Harib district in Marib, and the rapid fall of the Houthi militias in front of the strikes of the Giants forces and the support of the Arab coalition aircraft, not only led to the restoration of the initiative in the battle to defend Marib, but  He revealed the fact that the Houthi victories that were achieved from Nihm and Al-Jawf and up to Bayhan were nothing but a political game carried out by the Brotherhood leaders who control the decision of legitimacy in Yemen, especially with regard to the military decision and the national army, as these victories confirmed that the Brotherhood were the ones who handed over those areas to the Houthi militia  Which would not have achieved any victories had it not been for the blatant complicity of the Brotherhood in managing the military battle in order to achieve hidden political agendas.

Fears of a return to the Brotherhood's opportunistic policy


 The victories that were achieved in the Shabwa and Marib fronts were a direct result of the appointment of a new governor of Shabwa, and the entry of the Giants’ forces into the field battle line in Shabwa and Marib, which was accompanied by the government’s announcement of the start of a reform process aimed at creating an environment conducive to greater cohesion, understanding and coordination between the national forces resisting the militia project.  The Iranian Houthi movement, headed by the Southern Transitional Council, the joint forces and other political forces other than the Brotherhood, including the General People’s Congress, which represented important indicators of new trends that the Arab coalition seeks to consolidate on the ground in order to change the military strategy in confronting the Houthi militias.

It was remarkable that Major General Saghir bin Aziz, Chief of the General Staff, led the military scene by appearing on the stage to announce the size of the victories and indicators of future battles, which analysts saw as a positive change that serves the conduct of the field military battle against the Houthi militia on the Shabwa, Marib, and Al Bayda fronts.

But on the other hand, what worries analysts at the same time is that these trends have begun to disappear in favor of the return of the Brotherhood’s control over the decision to manage the military battle, which was evident through Brotherhood media campaigns accusing the Giants’ forces of stopping the battles in the border areas on the one hand, and on the other hand.  Others celebrate any losses suffered by the brigades of giants as a result of the Houthi militia strikes with ballistic missiles on the battle areas, leading to the return of the Minister of Defense Muhammad al-Maqdashi, who is affiliated with Vice President Lieutenant General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar and the Muslim Brotherhood, to the scene by rushing to go to the fighting fronts and trying to steal scenes of military victories over the militias.  The Houthi movement is in his favor and in the interest of the national army that he and the Brotherhood leaders run

Analysts say to NewsYemen that any change in the orientation of the coalition and allowing the Brotherhood to regain control of the political scene and the management of the military battle in Marib or Al-Bayda will have dire consequences, most notably the possibility of the Brotherhood handing over the liberated areas to the Houthi militias once again within the framework of implementing the policy of opportunism practiced by Brotherhood leaders  Especially after the dismissal of Ibn Adyo and the subsequent field victories proved the fact that political and military Brotherhood leaders were involved in coordinating with the Houthi militia to exercise blackmail and pressure against the Arab coalition.

Analysts conclude by emphasizing the importance of continuing the directions of government reforms in conjunction with more support for the military fronts led by the Giants Brigades and at the same time removing any Brotherhood interventions in the course of the military battles in Marib and Al Bayda.
