Yemeni Brotherhood revives Turkish economy… New Statistics
The Yemeni Brotherhood, represented by the Islah Party, recently flowed to Turkey in large numbers to restart the billions they have earned from the wars in their country.
Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood have stepped up their investment in Turkey through real estate, fishing, import and export companies, clothes and restaurants.
According to a recent Turkish count, some 900 properties were purchased in Turkey by Yemeni figures during the first half of 2022. Sources confirmed that most of these figures belong to the Islah Party, the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood organization. Turkey is considered the preferred destination for the organization’s leaders and members since the start of the current war.
According to the Turkish Statistical Institute, Yemen ranked second after Iraq in terms of the number of real estate purchased by Arab nationalities, up from third in 2021. Statistics show that a total of 1,332 properties were purchased by Yemenis in Turkey last year, Yemen News reported.
The number of Yemenis owning property in Turkey has risen dramatically in recent years, the institute said, adding that Yemeni nationals are ranked 10th among the most foreign nationals who own property in Turkey.
According to statistics, Yemenis purchased about 5,000 real estate units during the past 7 years, including apartments and villas in Istanbul, Antalya, Bursa and Ankara.
There are 519 Yemeni companies in Turkey, most of which were established after the outbreak of the country’s war and the migration of national capital.
According to official data from the Turkish Immigration Department at the Yemeni Embassy in Ankara, the number of Yemenis in Turkey by the end of June 2022 reached 30,000 Yemenis in several Turkish cities.
One indication of this is that prominent Brotherhood leader Amin Alakimi, governor of Al-Jawf, purchased a mall in Istanbul, Turkey.
According to sources, the son of Al-Jawf governor Hamid Amin Alakimi bought the mall for $18 million.
The sources added that Alakimi made a lot of money from the fake military brigades that he led with his sons in Al-Jawf province during his control over it.
The sources indicated that Alakimi owns, with a number of Islah Party leaders, a large chain of real estate and companies in Turkey.
