A wide-reaching media campaign has erupted across Yemeni social platforms under the hashtag #الإخوانمنبعالإرهاب (“The Brotherhood: Source of Terrorism”), aiming to expose what activists describe as the longstanding involvement of Yemen’s Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Islah Party in supporting extremist groups.

The campaign, launched by Yemeni activists and journalists, highlights what it calls a “bloody record” of Brotherhood-linked figures in Yemen, accusing them of aiding jihadist factions such as Al-Qaeda since the 1990s. Posts circulating online allege that Brotherhood leaders have played a central role in founding armed wings and promoting extremist ideologies through religious centers and youth programs.

Participants in the campaign also claim that Brotherhood-controlled areas have become safe havens for terrorist operatives, particularly after 2015, with some regions allegedly used as logistical hubs for attacks against southern forces and Arab Coalition troops.

One of the most controversial claims involves the protection of wanted militant Amjad Khaled, who is accused of orchestrating assassinations and bombings in Aden. Activists allege that Brotherhood figures have shielded him in Taiz since 2019.

The campaign has sparked renewed calls for the designation of the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization in Yemen, with demands for legal accountability and international scrutiny.
