Many remnants of the Al-Qaeda organization in Yemen have joined forces affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and integrated into them after the series of defeats their organization has suffered in recent years.

Experts in extremist groups believe that the Al-Islah party, by relying on Al-Qaeda fighters, is reviving old organizational ties between the Brotherhood and the group in Yemen and beyond. Indeed, Al-Qaeda, as a jihadist organization, is one of the “legitimate offspring” of the Brotherhood’s ideology.

Some scholars refer to the close ties that existed between one of the key founders of the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sheikh Abdel Majid Al-Zindani, who never hid his connections with Al-Qaeda, which he considers a “legitimate” component of the Yemeni scene. In 2014, he publicly called, via a local television broadcast, for dialogue with the organization as one of the necessary conditions for achieving stability in the country and avoiding sectarian strife.
