Two days ago, the Al-Islah party, the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, once again offered to implement international agendas and plans in the country, aiming to attract U.S. attention in hopes of securing international sponsorship and funding.

In a statement published by Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni, the party called for drawing inspiration from what it described as the “Syrian experience,” referring to the support given to Muslim Brotherhood factions there in their battle against the regime.

This call coincided with the recent suspension of U.S. aid to Yemen. Observers believe the party is attempting to demonstrate loyalty to the U.S. by positioning itself as a key ally in the fight against the terrorist Houthi militias.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s move comes amid reports that the U.S. is reshuffling its strategy in Yemen, pushing for the inclusion of political actors outside of Al-Islah to play a larger role in resolving the Yemeni crisis.

The administration of newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump had previously halted the operations of the American agency that funded Yemeni factions, primarily Al-Islah.

The party fears that this new U.S. approach could lead to its marginalization, especially as its influence has already declined due to atrocities committed in liberated cities and repeated attacks from the Southern Transitional Council.

This latest maneuver by Al-Islah adds to a long list of power displays, particularly in Marib, where the party is aggressively seeking to take control of the next proxy battle.
