The Brotherhood is counting their disappointments, and Hadhramaut will not be the last
English - Saturday 08 October 2022 الساعة 05:42 pmThe Brotherhood did not wait a bit and was quick to adopt a mean position that blessed the separation in Hadhramaut, which the leaders of the group sought from their investments and presence abroad, and in the name of Hadhramaut, their voices rose to bless the establishment of a Hadrami state separate from the south.
Opportunism is not different from the Brotherhood leaders’ blessing of the fall of Saada province into the hands of Iran in 2011 and giving the militia leaders at that time the status of revolutionaries, as the Brotherhood leader Hamid al-Ahmar said at the time, who preached the control of his revolutionary brothers, as he described them over Saada.
After that, the revolutionaries “the brothers" of Hamid al-Ahmar arrived , and expelled him from his governorate, directorate, village, and home, to settle in Turkey and return to the same square with his friend Bates to stand behind a conspiracy to strike the security and stability of Hadhramaut, in defiance of the Transitional Council and the Southern Forces.
The Brotherhood’s campaign and directing their media and organizational weight towards a speech calling for the state of Hadhramaut was expected, but this speech will melt when the tribes of Ma’rib raise their voice to demand the empowerment of the people of Sheba to manage their governorate and its resources, 8 years after the Brotherhood swallowed all the oil resources of Marib and their control of power, wealth and influence in it.
Recognizing the right of local communities to manage their affairs locally, militarily and security is a principle rejected by the Brotherhood in the south and Marib and imposed in Taiz, and their discourse on Hadhramaut is nothing but an attempt to blackmail, to remedy their possible presence in Mahra and Hadramout.
The people of Hadhramaut raised a slogan to enable them to administer their governorate and the departure of the Brotherhood forces from the valley and to build a Hadrami force to replace the forces of the first region, which is supposed to go to the theater of the army’s operations in Marib in contact with the Houthi militia.
After that, the Transitional Council came out in a meeting of its leadership with a declaration supporting the demands of the masses that came out and left in Hadhramaut. It is a responsible position that supports the legitimate demands of the people of Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra as well as a right enjoyed by other governorates under the rule of the Brotherhood, and Taiz is an example of that.
The Brotherhood recruited about 100,000 soldiers, security men and militia members in Taiz between forces affiliated with the Ministry of Defense and the Interior and camps affiliated with Hamoud Al-Mikhlafi. And they got more than 50,000 military numbers, so why don't the people of Hadhramaut and Mahra get a share of Taiz so that they can manage their governorates? The experience of the Hadrami elite and its active role is not far from the scene.
The STC does not refuse to let the people of Hadhramaut run their governorate. Rather, this is a demand that announced in a statement its support. The Brotherhood sought to incite the STC and southern governorates with a despicable regional discourse that will fail as it failed in Abyan governorate, and then the Brotherhood must accept the voice of Marib, which demands the handing over of its leadership to its people.
Saada went with al-Houthi, as did Sanaa and the whole north, except for a number of districts in Ma’rib, Taiz, and Hodeidah. The Brotherhood lost Abyan, which they turned into a platform for declaring their war on the south and mainly Aden. Shabwa was liberated from their presence and their malice, but the Brotherhood never learned and their herd is still being led into marginal battles that serves only to keep the north in the grip of the Houthi militia.
The Brotherhood is counting their disappointments from Saada to Sana’a, Abyan and Shabwa, and they are contradicting the reality of Taiz and Ma’rib, and now they are heading towards Hadhramaut, but it will not be their last setback, as Mahra and Ma’rib are still waiting for the specified time to bring the curtain down on the last chapters of the Brotherhood’s absurdity, which extends from 2011 until today.
