Brotherhood cooperating with al-Qaeda at expense of Yemen’s children

Noura Bendari

Yemenis suffer from the repression of the Houthi militia.

Meanwhile, Islah Party, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen, keeps committing crimes against the Yemeni people.

These crimes include the looting of ordinary Yemenis’ properties and obliterating their identity.

In doing this, the party mimics the conduct of the Houthi militia which recruits children and puts them on battlefronts.

Islah Party cooperates with al-Qaeda, especially in the southern province of Shabwah in recruiting dozens of children and transferring them to the city of Khora in the Lower Markha District.

Scheme

Yemeni media has revealed that al-Qaeda seeks to cooperate with the Brotherhood militia to attract children and adolescents from schools and sports stadiums and give them sectarian and military training with the aim of brainwashing them.

It indicated that this process is carried out through Brotherhood leading figure Mohamed Saleh who enlists the services of extremists to repress the residents of Shabwah.

Some Yemeni political analysts referred to a conspiracy against southern Yemen.

They said this conspiracy is being implemented by intensifying the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood militia in cooperation with al-Qaeda, especially in Shabwah.

The same analysts noted that Brotherhood started implementing the plan by spreading killing, terrorism and chaos on a large scale in southern Yemen.

Well-informed Yemeni sources referred to the presence of al-Qaeda members in several directorates in Shabwah.

These members are on the ground with assistance from the Muslim Brotherhood, they said.

They added that these members of al-Qaeda recruit children and adolescents on a massive scale.
