Muscat meeting, MB, Houthis plot against Arab colition
Qatar, Turkey and Iran
continue to sponsor terrorist groups in the Middle East to destabilize
countries and achieve their own agendas and interests.
Several weeks ago, a
secret meeting took place between leaders of Yemeni Al-Islah Party (The Muslim
Brotherhood in Yemen) and the Houthis to seek common grounds between the two
sides and set a joint plan to confront the Arab coalition, target the Southern Transitional
Council and increase the pace of rumors against Saudi Arabia and the United
Arab Emirates.
The meeting that took
place in Muscat last month was sponsored by Qatar, Iran and Turkey to confront
the Saudi-led Arab coalition in Yemen.
During the meeting,
which was attended by Mohamed Abdel Salam, spokesman of Yemen's Houthis, and Nobel
Peace Laureate Tawakkol Karman, the parties agreed to a set of actions that
include a cease of fire within the fronts led by the Muslim Brotherhood and an
increase in the pace of rumors against countries of the Arab coalition.
On Sept. 19, Karman
tweeted that she looks forward to a national reconciliation between the Houthis
and the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen.
Several protests were
launched against the government in Yemen after the meeting to reject
deterioration of currency and services.
For his part, Yemeni
politician and member of the southern transitional council, Nizar Haitham, said
the Muscat meeting is not the first of its kind, as Qatar, Turkey and Iran have
been coordinating with each other since they first appeared in the Yemeni
scene.
Haitham also added in
an interview with the meeting was funded by Qatar and planned by Turkey and
Iran to plot against the Arab coalition and the transitional council.
He pointed out that
during negotiations between Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood in 2014, leaders
of Al-Islah Part headed to Saada to meet with Houthi leader Abdel Abdul Malik
al-Houthi, as they conducted secret meetings, during which they agreed on
handing Sanaa to the Houthis.
The two parties agreed
during the meeting in Muscat to form an alliance between Houthis, the Muslim
Brotherhood and Southern groups, under the leadership of Fady Ba’oom to hinder the Arab coalition’s achievements and liberate Al
Hudaydah port.
Yemeni political analyst Hany Mashour said in
TV remarks that Ba’oom received $50 million to fund terrorist operatives to
destabilize security in southern Yemen, affirming that Qatar exerts efforts to
destroy the Yemeni soil.
Mashour also clarified that connections
between Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood were not made public until Qatar
sensed danger that liberating Al Hudaydah port might weaken the stand of its
arms in the region.
