Islah's relationship with al-Qaeda attacks... No condemnation or targeting, but unity or death
English - Monday 12 June 2023 الساعة 10:31 amPolitician and researcher Saeed Bakran said that the attacks of the terrorist Al-Qaeda organization have been dedicated since after the liberation of the capital, Aden, to target southern forces that are not loyal to the Yemeni Islah party, the local branch of the Brotherhood in Yemen.
Bakran's comment came in the wake of an al-Qaeda terrorist attack with a car bomb that targeted, at dawn on Sunday, a military checkpoint of the Shabwa Defense Forces in the Musina'a area of the Al-Saeed district, killing two soldiers and wounding at least three others.
Saeed Bakran, in a post on his Twitter account, believes that the Islah Party's relationship with the terrorist attacks of al-Qaeda is based on not condemning the first and therefore not targeting it from the second, as he said, "The Yemeni Islah party does not condemn these attacks, does not condemn al-Qaeda when condemning terrorism, but it is deceiving And condemns the state organization (ISIS) for reasons that are not related to the condemnation of terrorism as a principle, but rather to the competition for the exclusive right to practice terrorism.
In his speech, Bakran relied on important facts, most notably that the pro-Islah forces in Marib, Wadi Hadramout, or even Shabwa, during the Islah control over them during the period 2019-2021, were not subjected to any terrorist attack with a car bomb or anything else.
Terrorist attacks returned to the city of Shabwa in conjunction with its liberation and ridding it of the dominance of the Islah party led by the former governor, Muhammad Saleh bin Adio. Their first target was the current governor, Sheikh Awad bin Al-Wazir, by planting an explosive device on the main road that was targeting his convoy.
Bakran stressed that the blood shed by al-Qaeda attacks is the blood of the opponents of the Yemeni Islah Party, which the party's activists and its media machine demonize and incite against, because it is non-reformist blood and deprived it even of the sanctity and sanctity of blood.
Bakran pointed out that al-Qaeda's attacks are backed by a huge media machine that does not stop demonizing the victims day and night around the clock, channels and media activists buzzing with the media space. They have no work but to prove that the southerners, opponents of reform, carry descriptions that each single description calls for their killing and bloodshed.
Bakran adds another fact that the discourse and behavior of the reformist Brotherhood towards the southerners exists as an exact copy of the Khomeinist Houthis, and that the discourse of the Houthis and the reformists together is now a copy of the discourse of Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Bakran believes that the al-Qaeda, Houthi and ISIS attacks directed against the southern forces are the practical application of the phrase "unity or death".
