The storming of al-Thawra Modern General Hospital in Taiz province on Monday was not the first one and it will not be the last. The Hospital has been experiencing several raids and attacks reached 50 attacks and shelling. The Houthi militias and Islah Party's groups share the responsibility in targeting the historic Hospital. This is not hidden for anyone in Taiz province.
Recently, the Islah Party has stepped up to oust the Doctor Ahmed Anam, the chairman of the Hospital, the famous Nasserite orthopedic surgeon. The Party uses everything it could to reach its desired goal so as to control this "Medical Fortress", which is established nearly half a century.
Al-Thawra Hospital is built in the mid-1970s funded by China. It was supplemented by various Chinese, Korean and European medical teams until it formed a leading Yemeni medical team in the mid-1980s.
One of the old doctors at al-Thawra hospital in Taiz said to Newsyemen that the patients were coming to the hospital in Taiz from all areas of Yemen and even from the Saudi regions like Najran and Asir regions, even the President Hadi's mother was treated at al-Thawra, when he was a defense minister in 1990s.
During the 1994 summer war, the Political Security in Taiz province launched a fierce campaign at al-Thawra Hospital and its medical team and targeted and arrested many doctors, especially affiliated with the Left staff, Nasiriyah, socialism and Baathism, and jailed them at the Political Security prisons at their large headquarters in al-Ugainat area in Taiz.
The Islah Party knows that the one which controls al-Thawra hospital in Taiz province is the spearhead in the struggle with the Islah party's health projects in the province.
The success of the Hospital Department means the success of the rest of Taiz hospitals, including the failure of the private hospitals owned by the Brotherhood, the Islah Party, in the province. In addition to the hospital is a financial and functional wealth that can be invested for political purposes.
Therefore, the Islah Party annoys very much whether to fail the hospital as the al-Jumhuri hospital, or to control and invest it in favor of the Party and its health sector.
When the UAE Red Crescent and the King Salman Center began dealing with al-Thawra Hospital and canceling contracts with the Islah Party's hospitals, the battle intensified to oust Dr. Ahmed Anam so as to replace him with an alternative medical doctor of the Party.
Dr. Anam, a famous and successful surgeon who can work in large hospitals outside Yemen or continue his work in his clinic, but he is still treating his patients in his clinic. He worked hard to get the hospital out of the rubble of war and returned it to life, in addition, he has not received an operational budget since he was appointed as the director of the hospital, he imposed a simple fee on large operations to meet the needs of the hospital departments operating.
The Islah Party will not leave its opponents at any post to breathe. The party will not allow the return of the success that were carried out by the Socialist generation in the province at al-Thawra hospital.
The war will continue against the Nasserist member till he will be sacked or terrorized him, the Islah Party leans a Legitimacy in which uses it as a needle putting it in an eye that it wants to, the Islah's army will create every day a battle inside al-Thawra Hospital, and it will not end as long as a Nasserist member at the top post of al-Thawra hospital in Taiz.
