The appearance of Ahmed Al-Essi in the media was a shock to many, who considered the emergence of his role during the years of President Hadi as a message of political ambition and an indication of the expected role of the Sheikh, the politician, and the influential official in the presidential office.
Al-Eisi was not previously a political apparent activity, but he rode the wave of political action to fight the Transitional Council after he found himself with other southerners gathered around the president outside the circle of presence and influence, so the Southern National Coalition was his political arm due to the absence of parties in the south as he admitted that.
The Southern Coalition is the unitary component or current in the south, as Al-Eisi calls it, which Al-Eisi presents as a political arm, but it does not differ in its composition and conditions for its formation from many southern components that appeared before the formation of the Transitional Council and collapsed in the conflict to win the right to represent the south or to transfer its majority.
Al-Eisi has raised the ceiling of his ambition greatly, and he considers himself an ideal candidate to succeed Hadi .. he, as he says, is a mixture of the authority of Ali Abdullah Saleh, Sheikh Abdullah bin Hussein al-Ahmar and Shahir Abdul Haq .. that is, a sheikh, a politician, and a merchant with a strong influence according to the combination of the trio that he invented to give him the presidency However, it only appears that it is a combination of Hadi's failure and the presidential office.
In Al-Eisi's interview with the Sana'a Center, I lack the flexibility of the politician, the intelligence of the merchant, and the wisdom of Sheikh Al-Ahmar, as he attacked the UAE, along with Riyadh and its ambassador Al Jaber, and showed a declared commercial rivalry with the Hayel Saeed House, the Al-Karimi Bank, and with the Thabit brothers group and the wheat emperor Haider Fahim, as well as the Shihab Company and a list of ancient commercial groups.
It has not happened that the Yemeni arena witnessed an open rivalry to this level of sending charges against competitors or business partners, and this matter shows Al-Eisi as an emergency coming to trade as he is a brutal politician in the field of politics.
What Al-Eisi said confirms what many have said about Al-Eisi’s exploitation of his presidential influence in targeting his commercial rivals, as happened with the Hayel Saeed Anam group, and what was included in the report of the Security Council experts about the huge house obtaining special privileges that enabled it to acquire a large share of the Saudi deposit.
Al-Eisi was not a self-made trader, but he took advantage of his relations with President Hadi since after the summer war of 94 to obtain privileges that represented a great leap in building his financial empire, as he monopolized for a quarter of a century the transportation of crude oil from Safer in Hodeidah to Aden refineries and then to Mokha, Hodeidah, Hadramout and Socotra.
In addition to his move as a vice-president trader, when Hadi was deputy to Ali Abdullah Saleh, his relations with General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar also constituted an important advantage in facilitating his activity and the growth of his financial position in the Yemeni market.
Al-Eisi bears a lot of hostility to Prime Minister Maeen Abdul-Malik and portrays this rivalry as a defense of integrity against the corruption of the Prime Minister and his links with homes and business groups that Al-Eisi attacked fiercely, and here he confirms that the biased position of the presidency against Moein Abdel-Malek is a product of Al-Essi's position and that Hadi is nothing but Solidarity with the interests of his deputy director, Ahmed Saleh Al-Eisi.
In his speech, which came at his request, as explained by the Sana'a Center for Studies, Al-Eisi presented himself in an unbalanced and emotional manner, far from political cunning and maturity, and even lacking the ability to present himself as one of the new southern options in the political and public scene.
