Reality of the #Yemen Civil War
The Iranian Government have stopped financial assistance to Islamic Jihad, a Gaza-based militia because of its inability or reluctance to engage in the Yemen war between essentially the Sunni and Shia.
Islamic Jihad has asserted repeatedly that it is taking a neutral position regarding the Yemeni issue but this was not a valid excuse for Tehran to keep on funding this movement and therefore it has forced the group to look for donors elsewhere. It is facing a severe financial crisis and has closed the head office of its main satellite TV channel, Palestine Today.
It's interesting to see how easily these groups can disintegrate as soon as funding from the big Arab donors such as Saudi, Qatar, UAE and Iran suddenly stop. We all know these corrupt Arab rulers have been in the pockets of the West for a long time due to their policies and wars always benefiting the West.
In effect this is proof to show how many of these militias that are fighting the US' proxy wars are fragile and depend on the US via its allies in the region.
"One of its senior officials in Gaza, Hisham Salem, has established a new group called "Al-Saberoon", which is in full ideological and political agreement with Iran. Its members, apparently, get paid full salaries every month" Al Quds Newspaper reported.
It'll be more interesting to see how the new splinter group 'Al-Saberoon' plays a part in the Yemen civil war and directs its fighters into the heart of the battle to create more fitna in the already deteriorating region.
