The Muslim Brotherhood Gangs Challenge Legitimate Authorities in Taiz… What’s the Story?

Politicians, human rights activists, and advocates have called on the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, and the Governor of Taiz, Nabil Shamsan, for immediate intervention to return a house belonging to a citizen in the Al-Rawda district of Taiz. The house is occupied by armed groups affiliated with the (170) Air Defense Brigade, which belongs to the (Al-Islah) party, “the arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen,” despite explicit orders from the Governor of Taiz to apprehend the accused and bring them to justice.

Activists pointed out that all state institutions and homes were occupied during Al-Maamari’s tenure as governor of Taiz, a time when he helped the Brotherhood take over these institutions and homes.
