The arms of the former Yemeni Vice President, Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, continue to target Saudi Arabia, holding it responsible for prolonging the war and the expansion of the Houthi terrorist militia, especially in the regions of northern and central Yemen.

Days after Major General Abdul Hameed al-Nahari, director of al-Ahmar’s office in Hodeidah, arrived in Dhamar Governorate, which is under the control of the Houthi militia, the media arm of al-Ahmar, Saif al-Hadari, who heads the al-Shumu’ Foundation for Press, Printing and Publishing, appeared in a lengthy post on his Twitter account, attacking Saudi Arabia and accusing it of complicity with the militias.

Al-Hadari claimed that there are intense negotiations behind the scenes between Saudi Arabia and the militias in Muscat, and considered the announcement of the transfer of power to the Presidential Leadership Council on April 7, 2022 a Saudi-Houthi conspiracy against the legitimate authority, as he claimed.

Al-Hadari did not mention in his post the Sweden agreement that halted the liberation of Hodeidah and the complicity of the Brotherhood’s army and its handover of the liberated areas in Nihm, Al-Jawf and Al-Bayda to the Houthi militia without a fight. However, he talked about the repositioning that the joint forces carried out on the western coast in agreement with the United Nations, and considered it with the opening of Sanaa airport to humanitarian cases and allowing the entry of oil derivatives to the port of Hodeidah, and claimed that it was a Saudi concession in favor of the militias.

Al-Hadari referred to the threats of the Houthi militia regarding stopping the work of the Safer facilities, which he described as "demands" and claimed that Saudi Arabia would help achieve them by refusing to fulfill its obligations and commitments to the Central Bank of Yemen, knowing the extent of corruption that accompanied previous grants and the government's inability to provide any guarantees to prevent its recurrence. 

Al-Hadari also considered the exclusion of Al-Ahmar, who, since his appointment, had been unable to achieve any military achievement as expected, as a process of razing the national forces and replacing them with militias, in reference to the forces on the ground that had a role in liberating the country from the militias before handing it over again to the militias in 2020.

Al-Hadari said: The catastrophe is the political elite that has mortgaged itself and abandoned its religious, national and constitutional responsibility towards the Republic of Yemen, restoring its capital, Sana’a, preserving its unity, and forgetting that the Brotherhood’s army has been at the gates of Sana’a for years without achieving any victory, and has so far been unable to complete the liberation of the city of Taiz despite from the military support he received from the Arab Coalition, which was evident during the confrontations against the national forces loyal to the legitimacy, such as: the popular resistance in Taiz and the tribes in Marib.

He said that he did not rule out that Al-Hadari and other Al-Ahmar’s posts were a Brotherhood attempt to blackmail Saudi Arabia, which worked hard to remove them from the scene and limit their control by a decision of legitimacy, and to flirt with the Houthi militia in order to preserve its common interests based on regional and international understandings aimed at thwarting Saudi efforts to Bringing peace to Yemen.
