Aden, NewsYemen, special:
(Their appointed time is the morning. Is it not that the morning is near?) ' (81) ), with this Qur’anic verse, the Muslim Brotherhood journalist Anis Mansour was tweeting at dawn on Sunday, excited about the movements of his militias in Shabwa towards the Balhaf gas facility, where forces from the Arab coalition and the Shabwani elite of the Southern Transitional Council are present.
The Brotherhood journalist quickly deleted his tweet later after it became clear that the appointment had already taken place in the morning, but not in Balhaf, but in another location hundreds of kilometers away from it. To reap 100 of the forces of giants dead and wounded.
A remarkable coincidence between Mansour’s threat in Balhaf and the Houthi targeting of al-Anad base, but it reflects the extent of the consensus in the direction between the Houthi and Brotherhood groups to strike the common goals that unite them.
The Brotherhood campaign that preceded the targeting of Al-Anad, against the presence of the Arab coalition in the Balhaf gas facility in Shabwa, comes at a time when the Houthi militias have become on the outskirts of the western governorate districts, such as Baihan and Al-Ain, after the legitimate fronts fell in the districts of Nata’ and Nu’man in the neighboring governorate of Al-Bayda last month, and progress has been made. The Houthi militia towards it is a political decision and nothing more.
In contrast to this dangerous military scene, the Brotherhood’s governorate authorities were mobilizing their forces from the 21st Mecha Brigade and the Special Forces (most of their elements are from Baihan) towards the far south of the governorate, to liberate the “Balhaf facility from the coalition’s presence”, with a continuous campaign of incitement to gain the support of local public opinion with it through The effect on her emotions is that this presence deprives the Yemeni economy of billions of dollars due to the suspension of gas exports.
The Brotherhood’s allegations about Balhaf have been going on for years, despite the absence of any official statement from the government confirming this. In fact, official meetings of the Oil Minister with Total, the operator of the project recently, to discuss resuming work refute these allegations, and indicate that technical or other reasons are behind the Failure to resume work on the project.
Among these reasons, a source in the Yemen LNG Company revealed to NewsYemen earlier this month that the project was halted due to legal disputes between the Yemeni government and the French Total over the quantities of gas signed in the contracts, and the amount of gas that exits from the Safer Marib fields through Pipes, and quantities of gas after compression and liquefaction that are pumped from the pipelines of the Balhaf station to the ships.
The Balhaf case is not the only issue that the Brotherhood raises against the coalition. Concurrently with it, Al-Mahra governorate is witnessing a similar escalation against the presence of the coalition forces in the governorate in the context of a general Brotherhood trend since 2017. Al-Houthi, which benefited from this by expanding its area of control in the north and bringing down entire fronts without major battles, and is now attacking the walls of Marib and Shabwa after it was defending the walls of Sanaa.
The Brotherhood’s servers did not stop at that, but rather turned into a task of whitewashing and obliterating the crimes of the Houthis and attributed them to the coalition and the UAE in particular, as was evident in an incident targeting Al-Anad base on Sunday morning, and the Brotherhood’s reactions towards the crime.
While the accusations of the leaders of the Transitional Council and its activists were directed towards the Houthi group, the Brotherhood leaders and activists were quick to accuse the UAE, the Transitional Council and Tariq Saleh of being behind the incident, as the Brotherhood’s journalist Ahmed Al-Shalafi, responsible for the Yemeni file, said in the Qatari “Al-Jazeera” channel, in his tweets on “Twitter.” ".
Official leaders in the legitimacy participated in the accusations party, where the Brotherhood leader Saleh Sami, who holds the position of governor of Al-Mahwit in the legitimacy, claimed that the bombing of the Al-Anad base “was arranged, planned and coordinated between the STC and the Houthis, and the coming days will prove what I went to,” he said. Accordingly, most of the comments of Brotherhood leaders and activists about the incident came, with the complete exclusion of the Houthi militia.
