The Muslim Brotherhood militia in Taiz carried out a new coup on the fronts of the 35th Armored Brigade, with the support of Muhammad al-Jaifi, Staff of the 35th Brigade, which also represents Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's arm within the brigade.
The coup targeted the founder and leader of the Asalou Front, which overlooks the main port linking Taiz with the south and is led by Colonel Ahmed Al-Qudsi, one of the comrades of the martyr leader Adnan Al-Hammadi.
The Muslim Brotherhood continues the scheme to swallow the 35th Armored Brigade and dismantle it from the inside, after the deployment of their militia in all Al Hujariyah areas and controlling the entrances to Taiz and all the lines that lead to the south.
Military sources said that Muhammad al-Jaifi, the staff of the 35th Armored Brigade, headed with Brotherhood leaders to the Asalou Front and held a meeting with the leaders of the Front and installed a new leader belonging to the Islah Party named Mujib al-Rahman al-Salawi.
This coup comes at a time when the forces of the 35th Armored Brigade are engaged in confrontations on the Al-Kadha, Al-Hakom and Maqbana fronts, while the Brotherhood's militias besiege the 35 armored brigade from the outskirts and limit their presence in areas close to the brigade headquarters.
The Muslim Brotherhood militia had opened its control of Al-Hujariyah with a plot that the governor of Taiz participated in, in which the 35th Armored Brigade had evacuated its sites in the soil in favor of Hammoud Al-Mikhlafi militia supported by Qatar and Turkey.
Before the coup against the leadership of the Asalou Front, the leader of the front, Colonel Ahmed al-Qudsi, had been subjected to an assassination attempt by Brotherhood leaders headed by Mujib al-Salawi, appointed as a substitute for Colonel al-Qudsi, as an explicit message of terror.
Sources in the 35th Armored Brigade said that Major General Muhammad al-Jaifi, the staff of the war, informed the officers of the brigade that a directive had come to him from General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar to hand over the Asalou Front to Commander Mujib al-Salawi while he was carrying out the directions of the old al-Ahmar.
The sources added that Al-Jaifi informed a number of officers close to him that a decision would soon be issued to appoint him commander of the 35th Armored Brigade as a substitute for Brigadier General Al-Shamsani, who was appointed after the assassination of Commander Adnan Al-Hammadi and Al-Shamsani's work to legitimize the Muslim Brotherhood coups within the 35th Armored Brigade.
The coup comes the latest in a series of coups of the Muslim Brotherhood militia within the 35th Armored Brigade, in the systematic targeting of the officers who carry the project of the martyr leader Adnan Al Hammadi.
Colonel Al-Qudsi is one of the most prominent officers of the 35th Armored Brigade and one of the comrades of the martyr commander Adnan Al-Hammadi, and he was known for his rejection of the dictates of the Brotherhood militia throughout his work as military commander of one of the most important fronts that formed a solid wall in the face of the attempts of the Houthi militia to reach the depth of Al-Hujariyah.
Al-Qudsi participated the martyr commander Adnan Al-Hammadi in leading the battle to liberate Al-Silu in 2018, at a time when all the fronts of the Brotherhood failed to achieve a real victory over the Houthi militia.
The military sources said that the Asalou Front, with its personnel, will be attached to the Fourth Brigade, a mountainous infantry, to be in control of all Taiz's ports with the south and the western coast.
