Jeddah-A prominent Yemeni leader at al-Islah party attributed the declaration of renouncing from the international organization of Muslim Brotherhood to what he called “political confusion” for some political powers in the region.
In a phone call with Asharq Al-Awsat, Yemen’s Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Dr. Mohammed al-Saadi, who is also the assistant secretary-general for political affairs at al-Islah party, said that the statement was released to rectify this confusion.
In the meantime, Secretary General of al-Islah party Abdul Wahab Al-Anesi told Asharq Al-Awsat that the declaration was released because of the frequent confusion among political powers, accusing former Yemeni ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh to be the first to link the party with Muslim Brotherhood after the unity in 1990 when political pluralism was launched in the country.
The party announced in a statement issued on its official page on Facebook that: “No organizing or political relations link us with the international organization of Muslim Brotherhood, especially that the priorities for al-Islah party- as a political one- are national, and all these efforts put lie in ending Yemen’s current crisis so that it can carry out its normal political path.”
The party’s declaration raised doubts that are being circulated in Yemen among its people as social media has been witnessing for the past two days a long debate on this announcement since the party has announced earlier in 2013 that it does not belong to Muslim Brotherhood organization.
Yemeni Political Analyst Najib Ghallab, who wrote a book in 2010 on Yemen, said that al-Islah party was “more developed because it was a partner in the regime and was a major ally for Saleh in the security and civil authority; thus, doors were open for the party, which contributed in letting them understand the authority’s techniques more than anyone else and showed their ability to deal with politics in a more rational way than any other Islamic movements related to Muslim Brotherhood.”
