Sana'a, NewsYemen, exclusive:
Media outlets under the control of the Houthi militia - Iran's arm in Yemen, boasted of the arrival of military leaders affiliated with the Brotherhood's Islah party to their areas of control, and their announcement of defecting from the ranks of legitimacy and returning to the Houthis.
According to media outlets from Sanaa, including the Yemeni news agency Saba, in its Houthi version, Houthi leaders, under the so-called "National Center for Returnees", received prominent military leaders loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood, including close associates of the former vice president, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar. Those leaders reached Sana'a and Dhamar Governorate, the second largest stronghold of the Houthis after Saada Governorate.
The sources said that the director of Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar’s office in Al-Hodeidah Governorate and the commander of the Al-Khawkhah and Al-Jazar sector, Major General Abdul Hamid Al-Nahari, arrived in Dhamar Governorate, while the deputy commander of the Dahm airport in Ma’rib, Colonel Bakil Ahmed Al-Habari, and the head of the operations of the Al-Baqe’ Axis Brigades, Colonel Moaz Murshid Al-Amiri, arrived to Sana'a.
The prominent leader of the Houthi militia, appointed to the position of governor of Dhamar, Muhammad al-Bukhaiti, made a statement boasting about the arrival of the Brotherhood's military leaders, adding: "The return of leaders and individuals is a step in the right direction for the reunification of Yemenis," as he put it.
The arrival of the director of the office of Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, to the bosom of the Houthi militia, came after the accession of the prominent military leader, Hakim al-Ahmar, one of the most prominent officers close to the Brotherhood leader Hashim al-Ahmar, who is also one of the leaders of the 141st Brigade, and the financial officer at the Al-Wadiah border crossing with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The announcement of Al-Ahmar's ouster came after the escalation of reports that revealed organized looting and corruption that affected the revenues of the port for years, and also in light of moves led by the Presidential Council to assign the Arab coalition to hand over the management of the port last month to the local authority in Hadramout Governorate.
Justifying treason with a scandal
Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's office hastened to remedy the scandal spread by the Houthi militia, with the arrival of the director of his office in Hodeidah to their areas of control and his declaration of allegiance to the master. The office published a statement on Brotherhood media, accounts and activists of the Islah Party denying that Brigadier General al-Nahari was the director of Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's office.
The statement admitted that al-Nahari was one of the men of the First Armored Division, which was commanded by Ali Mohsen, and that he was working in Hodeidah and announced his joining the Houthis in 2014.
Journalist Saeed Bakran, head of Dar al-Maarif for Research and Statistics, said that the response of the terrorist Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar’s office to the issue of Brigadier General al-Nahari’s accession is a scandal in itself, pointing out that the Brotherhood’s “Balsen” machine over the past years has been saying that the officers loyal to Afash are the only ones who betrayed the country by orders Afash and his knowledge.
Bakran revealed that Brigadier General al-Nahari had a disagreement with the Houthis over a land he owned, so he left Sana'a for Marib with the knowledge of Ali Mohsen, and from Marib he settled in Seiyun in the Hadramout Valley, with the knowledge of Baba al-Qaeda, who did not hold him accountable for joining the Houthis and betraying the honor of the military.
He pointed out that the statement of Ali Mohsen's office justified al-Nahari's betrayal of the military brigadier general and his joining the Houthis early on as fear for his land in Sana'a so that the Houthis would not control it. After the Houthis took control of the land, he left for Seiyun.
Journalist Bakran asked a question about the statement: How many deans affiliated with Ali Mohsen joined the Houthis peacefully to preserve their property and interests?
Coalition blackmail
The process of prominent Brotherhood leaders close to the old man, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, joining the ranks of the Houthi militia is not surprising, as described by experts and analysts, especially with the constant restrictions on the Islah Party, clipping its wings, and reducing its influence within the legitimacy.
They emphasized that the leaders who announced their arrival in Sana'a and their involvement in the ranks of the militia are blackmail papers that the Brotherhood wants to send to the leadership of the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia, with the possibility of resuming the alliance with the Houthis in Sana'a.
The possibility of the “Brotherhood reform” returning to the bosom of the Houthis in Sana’a emerged greatly after the dismissal of former Vice President Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, the re-formation of an equal government and the end of the Brotherhood’s control over the Legitimacy Presidency, which was led by former President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
After the Houthis issued the so-called general amnesty decision in September 2016 and September 2019, the Houthi militia succeeded in attracting hundreds of returnees to their areas of control, most of them members of the Islah party and military and civilian leaders. March 2022.
Activist Muhammad Bajandouh commented on the news of the arrival of the military leaders loyal to the Brotherhood to Sana'a by saying: Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's officers in Ma'rib ate and drank and built villas in Sana'a from the money of the coalition and Marib.
He added: When they felt that the war was heading to a complete halt, they took themselves and with them the secrets of the Marib forces and headed to Sana'a.
Marib targeted
The defection of the Brotherhood leaders coincided with the Houthi militia handing over important information and maps in Al-Jawf Governorate and the liberated areas in the neighboring Marib Governorate.
The sources said that a number of military leaders charged with securing the Al-Jadafer region in Al-Jawf Governorate announced their joining the ranks of the Houthis and fleeing to the militia areas as part of a plan aimed at targeting Marib and overthrowing it, explaining that the forces affiliated with the legitimacy in Al-Jadafer handed the Houthis maps and information that enabled them to advance and control sites in Al-Jawf is in Jadafer and Qash’an, east of the city of Al-Hazm, and these areas overlook the Marib International Airport in the Tadawin region, which is about 10 kilometers away from the Ma’rib Airport, which is still under construction.
The great progress from Al-Jawf towards Marib, was accompanied by the arrival of large reinforcements for the militias, who took advantage of the information provided by the Brotherhood forces that fled and announced their joining the Houthis.
The military expert, Ali al-Dahab, warned of the movements carried out by Sana'a forces in the Al-Jadafer area, east of Al-Jawf Governorate, which is 10 km away from the new Marib International Airport (under construction).
Al-Dahab added that the movements of the Sana'a forces in Al-Jadafer come after the escape of military leaders loyal to the legitimacy and the alliance with its personnel and joining the putschists and handing them maps and sensitive information, warning of the existence of external coordination, and that the city of Marib is the strategic goal of handing it over by peace or war to the Sana'a forces.
