CIA successfully helps Islah Party official escape from Saudi Arabia
2022-10-31
Why?
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) managed on Saturday to smuggle a prominent leader of the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Islah Party from his detention center in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
Media outlets reported, quoting Munir al-Mawri, a Yemeni politician residing in the United States, as saying that the party’s Secretary-General, Abdel Wahab al-Ansi, upon his arrival in Michigan State of US, began holding meetings with leaders of his party in the city of Hamtramck.

Al-Ansi arrived in the United States under the pretext of medical treatment.

Al-Mawri accused al-Ansi of seeking to acquire the Yemeni community in the United States under the pretext of uniting the Yemeni community in America.

Al-Ansi is one of the Yemeni politicians that Saudi Arabia has placed under house arrest, and his smuggling from Riyadh coincided with the escalation of Islah against the Saudi-led coalition’s efforts to root it out, indicating an American attempt to re-use it against Riyadh, especially in light of the escalation of differences between UAE and Riyadh in the war on Yemen.

#9  I wish there was a secret society of jiahadi killers like there exists in vampire lore. The United States (outside of Gitmo) should not provide sanction to islamists. Turns my stomach seeing new Woke America align with Neo-Nazis and 'moderate' Jiahadis.

#8  Barack Obama and his State Department cheered on the Muslim Brotherhood as it took charge in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. And chaos ensued. It now seems that the Biden administration is playing stupid games. They may think the Ikhwan is a legitimate Egyptian political movement, but practically from its inception the founder Hasan al-Banna created an Islamist element whose purpose was subversion. And it exists to this day although the Ikhwan is for the moment centered in Turkey.

#6   why the US should be involved with any of its present leaders is indeed a mystery.

Slavising Unineting5672, there is the romantic idea that the Muslim Brotherhood in its various branches are moderate Muslims in comparison to the openly totalitarian Al Qaeda, etc. And since the ascendence of Islamist governments in the Ummah is inevitable — like Communism — best to manage the decline/surrender so as to have some impact on the resulting awfulness.

The alternative being to actually fully commit to fighting against them, which would result in being called a neocon.

#5  Al-Ansi arrived in the United States under the pretext of medical treatment.

Just in time for the mid-terms.

#4   In September 1990 the Yemeni Congregation for Reform (Islah) was founded. Among its members were intellectuals and Muslim Brothers. Its powerful leader, Shaykh Abd al-Majid Zindani was a Muslim Brother and considered responsible for sending some 20,000 Yemenis to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. He was close to Rariq al-Fadli the founder of Yemen's Islamic Jihad movement. From 1990-1995 the Islah "established some 600 institutes and educational centers controlled by Muslim Brothers." Islah also created charities, and sought to enlist tribal leaders in the movement. Eventually, the most revolutionary members were found within the Ulama which concentrated on students and the younger generation.
The Islah has never denied its Islamic roots, and why the US should be involved with any of its present leaders is indeed a mystery.

#3  Helping a prisoner escape from Saudi custody is just the kind of stupidity that makes pResident Biden the foreign policy genius that we all know and love.

A valuable addition to American society I'm sure.
