Saudi Arabia opens files of corruption and mismanagement in the Yemen war

The action in Saudi Arabia and the reaction is coming with the Yemenis

Aden - The Saudi leadership's war on corruption and its beneficiaries expanded to the file of the war in Yemen, which was reflected in the decisions announced by Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, on Monday evening, which led to high-level dismissals.

This comes at a time when the Yemeni government is preparing to effect qualitative dismissals within its apparatus that overthrow the leadership of the military file, headed by Vice President Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar.

The royal decisions included ending the service of Lieutenant General Fahd bin Turki bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Commander of the Joint Forces (the first military official in charge of the war file in Yemen in the Arab coalition) and referring him to retirement and investigation, and assigning Lieutenant General Mutlaq bin Salim bin Mutlaq Al-Azim with the Deputy Chief of the General Staff to do work Joint Forces Commander.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Fahd bin Turki bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Deputy Governor of Al-Jawf region (son of the commander of the Saudi Joint Forces) was also exempted from his post and referred for investigation, along with a number of military and civilian officials in the Saudi Ministry of Defense, on charges of corruption.

The royal decision stipulated that the Saudi Supervisory and Anti-Corruption Commission take over the investigation procedures with everyone related to the charges against those referred to the investigation, which is likely to expand the circle of those involved in corruption cases in the Yemen war file, including some Yemeni officials who are directly linked to the file Through them, the coalition's support is conveyed.

The preliminary data on the nature of the decisions issued by the Saudi monarch under the elevation of the Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Prince Muhammad bin Salman (as stated in the preamble of the decision) indicate their direct link to the internal reform campaign carried out by the Saudi crown prince, which included bold measures to dismantle the centers of power. Corruption networks within the Saudi government, in addition to the direct link between these measures and the results of the war in Yemen during the past years, the stalled path of military resolution, the fall of liberated Yemeni governorates and military areas, and the Houthi militia continuing to strengthen its offensive capabilities through ballistic missiles and drones.

In addition to pointing fingers at some political agendas that caused the military file to falter, experts blame the mismanagement of the file and widespread financial corruption, especially on the Yemeni side, for the course of the Yemeni war that has reached its sixth year.

Three Yemeni political sources revealed to Al-Arab News about imminent decisions to be issued by Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, including the dismissal of a number of officials responsible for managing the military file in the Yemeni government.

The sources indicated that these decisions will affect Yemeni Vice President Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, the first person responsible for the military file since the outbreak of the war in March 2015, as one or two consensual deputies will be appointed instead of Al-Ahmar, who is usually accused of being directly responsible for the failure in managing the file and the fall of governorates and military regions. In the hands of the Houthi militia.

The sources also indicate that the current Minister of Defense, Muhammad Ali Al-Maqdishi, will be dismissed, and Chief of General Staff Saghir bin Aziz will be appointed to replace him.

Al-Arab’s sources said that the expected decisions in the Yemeni “legitimacy” come in the context of comprehensive reviews conducted by the Arab coalition on the reasons for the faltering military path in recent years, and to reach a conclusion that comprehensive changes should be made to the leaders responsible for this failure on both sides of the coalition and legitimacy. .

The sources confirm that the coming period will witness a qualitative shift in the way the military file is managed, whether by the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia, or within the new Yemeni government that will be formed according to the Riyadh agreement signed between the "legitimacy" and the transitional council.

The implementation of the agreement will be accompanied by widespread changes in the joints of the military establishment that will lead to the reduction of the Brotherhood’s domination of this file, in light of indications of the complicity of Yemeni military leaders with the Qatari project in Yemen, which seeks to hand over the northern governorates to the Houthis.

Ali Arishi: The financial corruption in the leadership of the Yemeni army is reflected in the reality of the battle

The leadership of the Arab Coalition had assigned Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar to establish a Yemeni army to lead operations on the ground. During the past six years, everyone pinned their hopes on this army to regain the provinces occupied by militias, but nothing of that happened.

The Saudi political researcher Ali Arishi says that despite the generous financial support and modern weapons provided by the coalition, “it was found that (70 percent) of the Yemeni army was fake and that the efforts of the Arab coalition and its money went unheeded in many aspects.”

In a statement to Al-Arab, Arishi added that “the state of great financial corruption and the apparent partisan bloc in the leadership of the Yemeni army was reflected in the reality of the battle on the ground, especially as this army’s hostility turned to the UAE, the Kingdom's strategic ally in Yemen, and its rifle was directed towards the south.” .

Arishi pointed out that the dismissal of the commander of the joint forces, Prince Fahd bin Turki, had thrown a large stone in the stagnant waters of the reality of flabby corruption in the joint forces and within the corrective context of the errors, which undoubtedly was the main reason for delaying victory.

The developments at the military level come with parallel developments at the political level, as the "Arab" sources revealed an anticipated shift in the map of alliances and influence that will be witnessed in the next few days, consistent with the state of rapprochement in the political and military visions and the method of managing the conflict with the Houthis between the Southern Transitional Council and the Arab Alliance. Which may be reflected in the way the coalition leadership dealt with the excesses of Yemeni components that worked during the previous period to confuse the battle from within the legitimate institutions, and to ignite the conflict within the camp opposing the Iranian and Qatari project in Yemen.

According to the data, it is likely that the symbols of what is known as the Doha movement in the Yemeni government during the next stage will lose a lot of the papers of blackmail and pressure that they were practicing, after their tools were capped in the battle with the Houthis, and this movement lost its power factors, after losing or handing over its areas of influence such as Al-Jawf. And the Houthis are insatiable.

Political observers considered that the Saudi-led Arab coalition made military moves delayed, some of them, such as securing the border shipping port with the Sultanate of Oman and providing it with an X-ray detection device for trucks, and securing the Midi port in the Red Sea and a number of Yemeni islands opposite the port, after reports of a plot by some elements The pro-Brotherhood in the port to hand over these strategic areas to the Houthi militia in response to any upcoming decisions to dismiss military officers and officials affiliated with the group, all indications of the nature of the new directions of the coalition leadership towards resolving the outstanding issues and dealing firmly with the agenda of Qatar, Turkey and Iran, which is managed through local agents from within institutions Legitimacy and beyond.
