Southern leaders and activists ridiculed rumors launched by the Houthi group and circulated by the Brotherhood's media and activists, claiming that there was a dispute and conflict between the two members of the Presidential Leadership Council, Major General Aidarous Al-Zubaidi and Brigadier Tariq Saleh.
The Houthi group made these allegations during the past two days, after previous Brotherhood rumors took advantage of the delay in the return of the President of the Transitional Council, Aidarous Al-Zubaidi to Aden, to claim that he was under house arrest by Saudi Arabia, and it was later found to lie by the man’s appearance in the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi.
This Brotherhood rumor, on which the Houthi group built its new rumor claiming that there is Saudi pressure on the Transitional Council to force it to accept handing over Aden to military forces affiliated with Brigadier Tariq Saleh, as the group’s leader, Muhammad al-Bakhiti claimed in a tweet to him on Twitter Friday evening.
Al-Bakhiti’s allegations were accompanied by a massive infusion on social media by fake accounts affiliated with the Houthi and Brotherhood groups, with rumors and false news talking about the tense situation in Aden, only to be proven false by the morning hours.
The exposure of the Houthi group's lie prompted it to invent another lie to cover it up, as the group's leader, Hussein Al-Ezzi, came out on Saturday, claiming in a tweet that "the STC managed to crush Tariq's attempt to control Aden."
The desperate attempts of the Houthi group to create strife within the ranks of the Presidential Council, by repeating these rumors and their support by the Brotherhood, provoked the ridicule of leaders and activists in the south on social media.
Where the southern leader, lawyer Yahya Ghaleb, said that the leaders of the Houthi militias, on Twitter and Facebook, devote themselves to spreading rumors and fabricated news about the south is "evidence of bankruptcy...and shows the reality of their miserable situation as they are isolated from what is going on politically and that they are without work."
Meanwhile, southern activists considered the Brotherhood's participation in repeating Al-Houthi's lies as an indication that they will receive a strong political "slap" in the coming days, as happened in previous experiences, according to what activist Wajdi Al-Saadi believes.
Al-Saadi says that the Brotherhood's goal is "to drag some of the transitional forces into a reaction against the Saudi forces, or against the government, in an attempt to thwart the slap."
