The Muslim Brotherhood of Yemen is exposed day after day before public opinion as a terrorist organization that does not hesitate to use the tools of Al-Qaeda and Al-Houthi to confuse the liberated areas against its interests and agenda.

In its latest means of terror, the Islah Party, the political arm of the Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood, resorted to a war of explosive devices in an effort to confuse the security and stability of Shabwa (south), after all its attempts to control the oil province failed.

The Muslim Brotherhood uses explosive devices camouflaged by the Houthi industry in order to recruit the governor of Shabwa, Awad bin al-Wazir, who taught a profound historical lesson in dismantling the security and military system of the Islah party and disciplining the leaders of the rebellion that tried last August to overthrow power.

Latest terrorist operations

Recently, the frequency of explosive device explosions increased in Shabwa in conjunction with open political battles waged by the Brotherhood in southern Yemen, specifically in Shabwa and Hadramout, instead of the oil city of Marib, the closed organization emirate.

Yemeni security sources said that a number of Shabwa Defense Force soldiers survived an improvised explosive device attack that detonated from a distance and completely destroyed the patrol in the "Al-Masinah" area of ​​the Upper Egypt Directorate, east of Shabwa, on Tuesday.

The "Al-Saeed" attack was the third of its kind in just two days, as security forces in Ataq thwarted two terrorist operations, one of which was targeting a senior military official in the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, according to the source.

The source stated that the security services intervened at critical moments and dismantled an explosive device planted in front of the Ataq axis, where fast foot patrols were launched to survey the 60th Street, the city classified as the capital of the governorate overlooking the Arabian Sea.

On Sunday, it was preceded by the failure of a terrorist operation represented by "unidentified terrorist elements planting an explosive device directed at the corner of the road in the 60th Street, west of Ataq, near a building used for military supplies."

The source confirmed that the bomb was planted at the entrance to a street in which the commander of the Ataq military axis, Major General Adel Al-Masabi, who was appointed after the Muslim Brotherhood rebellion in mid-August 2022, lives.

The source also confirmed that "the two bombs were dismantled by mine engineers in the Ataq axis under the supervision of the criminal investigation team in the governorate, indicating that the procedures are continuing to search and investigate until the criminal elements are arrested."

This came in conjunction with thwarting a terrorist attack targeting Shabwa Governor Sheikh Awad bin Al-Wazir through an explosive device in his hometown in the Nisab district, the second terrorist attack in the district in less than two months and aimed at sending explicit messages to the top of the pyramid of power.

A new strategy for the Muslim Brotherhood

Since their loss in Shabwa last August, the Muslim Brotherhood of Yemen has adopted a new strategy to disperse the efforts of the security services in Shabwa Governorate, and to show the Shabwa Defense Force and the Giants Forces are unable to establish security and stability.

This was exemplified by the war of ambushes, as happened in the assassination of Captain Abu Bakr al-Awlaki, the escort of the governor of Shabwa, early last September, in addition to relying more on the planting of improvised explosive devices and detonating them from a distance, on the approach of al-Qaeda and the Houthis.

The last of these bloody explosions occurred, according to security sources , in early October, when an explosive device detonated in the town of "Al-Sawda" near the city of Ataq, leaving 4 victims, including a woman and a child.

This was preceded by two separate attacks with two explosive devices targeting patrols of the Shabwa Defense Force. The first occurred in the Lower Markha district to the west, leaving 7 dead and wounded, while the other occurred near the eastern entrance to Ataq, 6 victims.

Observers considered the return of the IED war in Shabwa since the Muslim Brotherhood lost the province as irrefutable evidence of their mobilization of terrorism and their feeding of al-Qaeda's activity in order to launch terrorist operations here and there for media investment and disturbing peace.

Last August, Shabwa witnessed an armed rebellion by Muslim Brotherhood leaders aimed at overthrowing the local authority, in response to their dismissal from their military and security positions, before the Giants Forces and the Shabwa Defense Force intervened, and succeeded in quelling the rebellion and imposing the prestige of the state in implementation of the directives and decisions of the Presidential Leadership Council.
