Brotherhood seeks to control Yemeni jobs via qualification of loyalty
The Brotherhood in Yemen, operating
under the cover of its political party Islah, is using the qualification of
loyalty to fraternize and control jobs in Yemen, which has led to a series of
administrative and economic disasters that Yemenis say they are still paying
for.
Loyalty first
The terrorist Brotherhood in Yemen
has worked for a decade to raze public jobs since its participation in power
following the outbreak of the Arab Spring in 2011. Appointments, decisions and
files in the sectors controlled by the Brotherhood are proceeding according to
the principle of loyalty, with widespread appointments based on party and
organizational affiliation, in the biggest breach that Yemen knows.
The governorates of Shabwa, Taiz and
Marib witnessed an unprecedented wave of bulldozing of public jobs and
administrative positions in light of the Brotherhood’s incursion into the
joints of the government and local authorities. The local authorities loyal to
the Brotherhood in the governorates of Shabwa and Taiz deprive the unloyal
administrative offices of financial budgets and deliberately sabotage them.
The exclusionary practices of the
Brotherhood come within its political agenda for absolute control over power
and money in the country. The demolition of jobs has become one of the ways and
means of empowerment practiced by the organization and practiced by political
Islamist groups, especially the Brotherhood, where the Brotherhood in Yemen has
always sought to dominate public office whenever the opportunity arises,
without taking into account either competence or eligibility, but rather the
basic criterion is loyalty to the Brotherhood and trustworthy people from its
political trend.
Abandoning laws
and regulations
Analysts denounced the Brotherhood’s
persistence in abandoning laws and regulations, dismissing distinguished cadres
to make room for Brotherhood elements. They stressed that the group there is
exerting intense pressure to empower itself within the security institutions,
in parallel with suppressing political opponents in the name of fighting
outlaws, imprisoning their opponents, and stopping newspapers that do not
follow them in order to prevent any dissenting media voices.
Observers of Yemeni affairs said
that the Brotherhood's control over government institutions resulted in a
significant drain on financial revenues, and that the Islah party had tampered
with state functions in an unprecedented manner, as it sought to betray all
jobs in the south. They stressed that despite all this, the Islamist movement
did not possess the ability to manage the interests of the people, burdening
the economy with debt and failing miserably to achieve any real accomplishments
on the ground.
Observers point out that after the
Arab Spring, the Brotherhood appointed its supporters to high-ranking positions
in the state, taking advantage of its control over the legitimate government.
They added that the remnants and resurrection of the Islah party are impossible
to get rid of in a short period of time. Rather, the country needs many years
to reform what was corrupted by the party, which claims to be righteous but is
far from it
