How do the Muslim Brotherhood prevent the recovery of Taiz and sabotage the Joint Operations Room in Yemen?
Criticism of the al-Islah Party, “the arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen,” has intensified, with explicit accusations of trying to “strangle” Taiz province, obstruct Arab efforts to unify the military front, and even target national figures while threatening regional security.
Prominent writer and politician Nabil al-Soufi launched a scathing attack against the organization, asserting that the Muslim Brotherhood refuses to relinquish its grip on Taiz despite regional changes. Al-Soufi described the organization’s presence in the province as a “weight pressing on the neck,” warning that they will leave it only as a “lifeless corpse” if their fangs are not removed by force.
In a statement reported by Al-Kholasa Net, al-Soufi noted that the organization seeks to disrupt arrangements to unify the theaters of operations under a single command supervising the fronts from Bab al-Mandeb to the coast and the mountains, including the integration of “Deraa al-Watan” forces and correcting discrepancies in payrolls and military axes.
Meanwhile, activist Anas al-Khalidi revealed a “malicious plan” pursued by the Muslim Brotherhood to restructure power instead of restoring the state. Al-Khalidi explained that the group, from the start of the war, sought to clear the field of national leaders and effective projects to create a political vacuum and imbalance, striking opponents from within by exploiting tensions among rival components and attempting to remove the remaining influential centers of power on the ground.
Observers believe that the Muslim Brotherhood’s movements, extending from Mukalla to Bab al-Mandeb, aim to seize military and material control and to sabotage the “Joint Operations Room” project, placing Taiz, Yemen, and the region in front of a security challenge requiring firmness to confront the “narrow ideological agenda” serving the coup project in Sanaa and Tehran.
