Sources close to Al-Omanaa reported that the Council has been unable to appoint ambassadors in Riyadh and Berlin due to disagreements among its members and their failure to reach a consensus on the ambassadorial appointments. The Islah party, “the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood,” fears a reduction in its share of positions within the legitimate Yemeni government, particularly in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where it holds significant sway.
The sources also indicated that the possible replacement of northern ambassadors by southern figures might be one of the reasons for this failure. For instance, Yahya Al-Shaibi, a southerner, served as ambassador to Germany, and Shaia Al-Zindani, the current foreign minister, was ambassador to Riyadh. Both hail from the South.

According to the sources, each member of the Presidential Council has their own nominees, particularly Islah, which is eager to maximize its benefits. As a result, the Council has continued to fail in resolving the issue.
Observers, in exclusive statements to Al-Omanaa, noted that the Council’s failure to appoint ambassadors highlights a broader failure within the institution, adding this episode to a long list of setbacks.

The observers also pointed out that the majority of ambassadors come from the northern provinces of Yemen, questioning why the southern members of the Presidential Council have not enforced a decision regarding these appointments, and where their role in this matter stands.
The Islah party, the local representative of the Muslim Brotherhood, fears that changes in the leadership of various foreign diplomatic missions and administrations could reduce its influence within Yemen’s legitimate governmental institutions.

In the past, media affiliated with the party have criticized President Al-Alimi for the way he has introduced changes at the top of Yemen’s legitimate institutions, accusing him of unilateral decision-making and questioning the criteria he uses to select officials.
Some criticisms have taken a regional tone, accusing the president of reserving power for those from the southern regions, and claiming that he is thereby serving the interests of the Southern Yemeni state restoration project, led by the Southern Transitional Council, as reported by London-based Al-Arab newspaper.
