If the U.S. air raid on in Yemen on the civil­ians achieved any­thing, then it strengthen Al-Qaeda pres­ence in the area, and push­ing the Yemeni tribes to “coop­er­ate” with the organization.

A state of con­cern, dom­i­nated the Yemeni street, wait­ing for Al-Qaeda reac­tion, as for­mer Al-Qaeda mem­ber Abu Al-Fida’a told Aljazeera:

This bomb­ing raid is Obama’s gift to Al-Qaeda, the orga­ni­za­tion can legit­imize the bat­tle now … Those Al-Qaeda mem­bers who had a truce agree­ment with the Yemeni gov­ern­ment, will jus­tify their future oper­a­tion tar­get­ing the U.S.

Yesterday’s demon­stra­tion in Abyan province — Yemen, a man claim­ing to be Al-Qaeda’s leader told the gath­er­ing address­ing the Yemeni army: “Our is not with you, but with the Americans”.

The most impor­tant devel­op­ment today, is that “king­maker” Al-Ahmar tribe rep­re­sented by their polit­i­cal party “Al-Islah”, con­demned the bomb­ing of civil­ians in the South call­ing it “irre­spon­si­ble crime”.

Most of the dead in Obama’s bom­bard­ment were mem­bers of the South­ern tribe Ba-Kazam, who declared a war against the government.

The Yemeni gov­ern­ment joined by the Saudi pro­pa­ganda machine, are try­ing to con­nect the South­ern oppo­si­tion with Al-Qaeda and Al-Houthis in the north say­ing that these three are work­ing togather to weaken Yemen.

Per­sonal opin­ion: If such con­nec­tions exist, the Yemeni gov­ern­ment will be top­pled in hours.

In his arti­cle on Al-Quds Al-Arabi, Yemeni writer Bin Farid ridiculed such con­nec­tion say­ing: “the Saudi Al-Arabiya TV behind these lies”, but Abyan gov­er­nor “Ahmad Al-Mesery” put his gov­ern­ment and the Saudi media in a very embar­rass­ing posi­tion when told Aljazeera: There is no con­nec­tion between Al-Qaeda and South-Yemen opposition.
