Taiz, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
From an early age, the Islah party used the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, the file of the wounded, for profitable political and financial purposes, and used it as a blackmail card against opponents.
The file of the war-wounded, specifically in Taiz governorate, is no longer a humanitarian file, as much as it has become a card of blackmail and trading in the hands of the Brotherhood, which it moves according to what its own interests require.
In the latest political exploitation of this humanitarian file, or what is supposed to be it, the Brotherhood pushed the wounded affiliates of the Taiz axis to carry out protests against the governor, Nabil Shamsan, in the wake of the latter's arrest of the governorate's representative close to the Brotherhood, Abdul Qawi al-Mikhlafi.
And last month, the governor of Taiz arrested the deputy governor, Abd al-Qawi al-Mikhlafi, so the Brotherhood mobilized the wounded to carry out protest vigils, which ended with Shamsan's retraction from stopping the pro-regime agent.
Observers told NewsYemen that the file of the injured has lost its human value, due to the misuse of this file by the Brotherhood’s Islah Party and its use of blackmail and political goals.
The Brotherhood had used the file of the wounded in Taiz, during the period of the former governor, Amin Mahmoud, to settle scores and achieve political gains.
At that time, the Brotherhood paid the wounded in his political battles, as they used them in their escalation against the former governor, Amin Mahmoud, when they closed his residence and the governorate building and set up tents at his gate, which is the same thing they did with other governors.
Although the Brotherhood raised the banner of the rights demands of the wounded in the midst of their escalation, the real goal of raising the file of the wounded was to put pressure on the former governor, Amin Mahmoud, in the context of a political agenda.
What is remarkable is that the Brotherhood’s Islah Party controls the medical committees in charge of the file of treating and caring for the war-wounded in Taiz, through loyal elements. Nevertheless, it does not hesitate to place responsibility on its opponents in the local authority in the governorate, and to turn the failures and corruption of its members into a card to blackmail personalities and parties. other.
One of the wounded told NewsYemen that he was injured in 2016 in Taiz, but he did not receive medical care like the wounded members of the Brotherhood, adding that "the Islah Party practiced a selective process in treating the wounded and transporting them abroad, as it monopolized the matter over its members."
He described the exploitation practiced by the Brotherhood in this humanitarian file as "shameful and immoral."
