How the Muslim Brotherhood Maneuvers Paved the Way for the Collapse of the Yemeni State into Chaos and Division

Writer and political analyst Ali Hassan Al-Dhabibi revealed striking details about the role played by the Yemeni Congregation for Reform Party (the Muslim Brotherhood’s branch) in dismantling the Yemeni state’s institutions, asserting that the party used the “secession card” as a tool for political blackmail, which ultimately led to the collapse of the constitutional system and plunged the country into a dark tunnel.

Al-Dhabibi explained in a press briefing reported by Al-Montassaf Net that after the fall of Sanaa in 2015, the Reform Party rushed to execute a “dangerous maneuver” by sending its deputies to Aden to form what was called the “Southern Parliamentary Bloc.” The surprising fact was that these deputies raised slogans advocating “secession,” not out of genuine belief, but to prevent the constitutional convening of Parliament in Sanaa and block it from managing the country’s affairs during a critical power vacuum.

Al-Dhabibi highlighted what he described as the “blatant and scandalous contradiction” in the trajectory of the Muslim Brotherhood leaders, noting that the same figures who had led the separatist discourse and rebellion against the Constitution in 2015 returned during the 2019 “Sayoun” session to assume high-ranking positions and don the mantle of defending “Yemeni unity,” exemplifying one of the most striking forms of political opportunism.

The political analyst clarified that these actions were not inevitable but were wrong political choices that treated sovereignty and the Constitution according to the logic of “rivalries and party interests.”

He pointed out that Reform Party deputies had launched a harsh attack on the Parliament’s presidency at the time when it warned against “gambling with sovereign issues,” revealing complete disregard for the authority of state institutions.

Al-Dhabibi concluded by asserting that the current threat to Yemen’s national and regional security is the “direct result” of these Muslim Brotherhood policies, which undermined trust in institutions and fueled internal conflicts, calling for a serious review aimed at restoring the value of the national state concept, far from the maneuvers of organizations that place party interests above the nation’s interest.
