Informed sources report the meeting of the leaders of the Yemeni “Al-Mutmar al-Shabi Al-Aam” party in Abu Dhabi with the aim of drawing up an initiative to completely oust the fugitive president.
A Yemeni official attends a meeting of leaders of the Al-Muttamar al-Shabi Al-Aam (Yemeni People’s Congress) party in Abu Dhabi as part of the organization’s recent move to oust fugitive Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi and his deputy Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar Announced a new political body for Yemen.
Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who is still in power and has long been considered by Saudi Arabia as an ally of the UAE in the Arab League invading Yemen, is still in power in Riyadh. The ear has reached.
Hadi, 75, is incapacitated in the Yemeni administration due to his age and physical health, and is no longer trusted in power.
Drafting a plan to remove Hadi from power in Abu Dhabi.
The Yemeni official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Arab 21 website: “Leaders of the Yemeni People’s Congress Party in Abu Dhabi are seeking to formulate an peace initiative and are set to launch it in the country’s political arena.” .
According to the official, 15 leaders of the party are currently present in Abu Dhabi, the most prominent of whom are Ahmad al-Kahlani, a former minister who has deep ties to Ansar al-Islam, and Abu Bakr al-Qirbi, a former foreign minister and member of the General Committee. The party, “Abdul Rahman Moazeb”, “Saleh Abu Oja”, “Ali Masad Allahbi”, three members of parliament, “Qasim Al-Kasadi”.
According to the source, the purpose of the draft peace initiative, which is being prepared by leaders loyal to “Ahmad Ali Abdullah Saleh”, the son of the former president, living in the capital of Abu Dhabi, under the supervision of the Emirati people, is the complete removal of Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. He is a new political body.
He added that the plan includes several proposals, one of which is the transfer of Hadi’s authority to an agreed deputy with four assistants. This person and his assistants must be out of the scope of the country’s conflicts during the seven years of the Yemeni war.
The source added: “The initiative that is being developed is based on the characteristics of Ahmad son of Ali Abdullah Saleh, the deputy chairman of the People’s Congress Party in Sanaa (Ansar al-Islam).”
Organizers of the plan say Ahmed, a former commander of the disbanded Yemeni presidential guard, has had no involvement in the war in recent years. However, since 2015, his name has been included in the list of international sanctions for one of their obstacles in the political settlement of the Yemeni crisis.
The main obstacles are Saleh’s son’s return to the Yemeni political equation.
According to the report, what prevents Saleh’s son from returning to the Yemeni political equation is his inclusion in the list of international sanctions. The past few days are underway, it must be crossed out.
In this regard, the Yemeni official says that between Ahmad Ali and his cousin “Tariq Saleh”, the leader of the so-called “National Resistance” (National Resistance), which was formed in 2018 with the help of the UAE in the West Bank region of Taiz province in southern Yemen. There are growing differences.
He continued: “The differences between them started after Tariq Saleh announced the establishment of a political office for his forces last March, which was strongly opposed by his cousin Ahmad Ali, a resident of Abu Dhabi.” Because, in his opinion, this action is against the Congress party and deepens the differences.
The Yemeni People’s Congress Party has witnessed unprecedented divisions and divisions since the beginning of the February 11, 2011 revolution, which continued until the Ansarullah revolution in the fall of 2014 and then the events of December 2017, which led to the assassination of its leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh. In this situation, the conflict between Tariq and Ahmad Saleh has escalated due to the peace initiative that the congressional leaders are working on.
Because Tariq Saleh, who is currently showing off and is in fact the military wing of the Saleh family who was killed in late 2017, believes that this initiative will destroy his ambitions and ideals. Because the condition that the vice president and four of his assistants should be out of the arena of the bloody conflicts in Yemen for many years is in fact an action against him, targeting him, not President Hadi and his deputy, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar.
Efforts to restore cohesion to the Congress Party.
For several days now, efforts have been made to restore cohesion and unity to the Al-Mutmar party. A party that has been deeply divided since the assassination of Ali Abdullah Saleh.
But factional strife within this seems to complicate matters. Especially since its internal wing is in line with Ansar al-Islam against the Saudi aggression coalition. According to political observers, the most important challenge facing the efforts to unite the Al-Mutmar party is the lack of an inclusive leadership, at a time when each of the party’s leaders sees himself as more qualified to rely on the party’s presidency and replace Ali Abdullah.
In addition, there is a wide gap between the leaders of this party and its popular base, and a kind of separation has been created between them. Which makes the People’s Congress party an easy prey for political polarization.
“What is happening in the UAE is a kind of rivalry between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over the party,” said Adel al-Shuja, a member of the general committee of al-Mutmar party and an academic figure in an interview with Arabi 21. If there was a real tendency to unite the party, we would have to see the formation of a committee with prominent party figures, the efforts of its leaders, and the vision for the Congress party.
Regarding Ahmad Ali (former president’s son), he says that everyone invests in this person according to his own interests and deceives him that he is by his side, while the elements of power get out of his hands every day and at the right moment. The big difference will explode.
But Abu Bakr al-Qarbi supports the current movements in Abu Dhabi, saying: “The rejection of a peaceful solution to the Yemeni crisis stems from the fear of different parties for their interests and power.
“And no fear will end except with a complementary peace initiative that eliminates fears and provides the necessary guarantees and is a tool to gauge the sincerity of different intentions and the desire of different parties to save Yemen,” he wrote in a Twitter post.
