Almasirah:US Uses 'Muslim Brotherhood' in Yemen to Separate, Control Oil-Rich Hadramout Governate

US Uses 'Muslim Brotherhood' in Yemen to Separate, Control Oil-Rich Hadramout Governate

Yemen: For nearly three months, the drums of war have been beating at the gates of Hadramout, but the issue did not go beyond the war of words, in order to create an atmosphere at the local and international levels, to impose a new map on Yemen by the coalition forces.

In conjunction with the growing American interest in the Hadramout governorate in eastern Yemen, the governorate has turned into a theater of tension and attraction between the coalition parties. However, what is remarkable in this war was the positions of the Islah Party, as the head of the Islah Party in Hadramout Governorate, Salah Batis, rushed to launch an invitation “Hadramout Independence” in response to the statements of the Transitional Council, demanding the removal of the party’s militants from the “first military zone” in the valley and desert of Hadramout.

Saudi Arabia also changed its positions by supporting its arch-rival represented by the Islah Party in the face of the “Southern Transitional Council”, which is considered a spoiled child to the alliance.

Observers say that the disputes taking place between the parties to the coalition over Wadi Hadramout are more than just a struggle for control, as usual.

They believe that the Islah Party's haste to adopt a position different from the party's policies that claim to adhere to the unity of Yemen, and adopting the call for "Hadramawt independence" seems not far from the American moves and Washington's remarkable interest in Hadramout Governorate.

Despite the anger of the Saudi regime at the conference on cooperation between the United States and the Muslim Brotherhood, which will be held tomorrow in Washington, and the torrent of insults that the Saudi regime is hurling at the Yemeni Brotherhood against the background of the Washington conference, Saudi Arabia is still committed to supporting the position of the Brotherhood in the valley and desert of Hadramout, as confirmed by observers.

Riyadh, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Abu Dhabi are performing their roles in a harmonious manner, with the aim of achieving the implementation of the American directions to separate the governorates of eastern Yemen, through claiming that the purpose is “avoiding violence and confrontations in Hadramout” will only happen through separating Hadramawt.

With the rise in the index of turmoil in the global energy markets, American and Western attention was focused on Yemen and what it could produce of gas and oil, to compensate for a percentage of the deficit resulting from the repercussions of the Ukrainian crisis. Meanwhile, the aggression harnessed all the country's revenues to finance mercenaries and implement its suspicious projects and activities in the southern and eastern cities.

The sources of oil and wealth and the strategic location of the governorates of Hadramawt and Shabwa were and still are the focus of the interest and ambitions of the countries involved in aggression, led by USA. This is to impose hegemony on the important channels, seas and waterways, allowing Washington to subjugate Yemen and control the international shipping routes in the Arabian Sea and the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Hadhramaut is the largest governorate in Yemen. It represents more than a third of the country's area, and has a strategic importance as it extends over an important coastal strip on the Arabian Sea with a length of 450 km. In addition, it hoards vast oil, mineral and marine wealth.
