The major objective of al-Qaeda groups in Yemen is to take advantage of the situation in this country, which calls for concern and instability. In fact, they always seek to target countries which are witnessing chaotic and unstable situations. There, they spread devastation, murder, discrimination, tribulations, and tampering. They also seek to disrupt the unity of the Arab people since they are poor and weak. On the other hand, they want the support of some people. For this reason, al-Qaeda groups are trying to exploit the religious beliefs of the citizens in order to manipulate and misguide them, and win their support. Al-Qaeda members are malicious individuals who do not want the well being of anyone. In fact, they take advantage of the simple-minded, weak, and poor people so that they can achieve their evil, hateful, and rotten objectives. Therefore, the Yemeni people should be fully aware of the nature of these groups in order to address all the ongoing acts of terrorism, criminality, and dissemination of terror, death, and destruction in the State of Yemen. This applies especially to this period of time for the people of Yemen.

The criminal organization of al-Qaeda has exploited the unusual conditions which prevailed in Yemen because of the demonstrations taking place in the country, which ask for regime change and for fair and free elections to be held, in order for a national government to emerge from it which will be responsible for achieving security and the reform of the essential humanitarian services. These have been neglected by the governmental system which ruled Yemen for more than thirty years. They were preoccupied with achieving their pleasures, collecting huge wealth and depriving the people of their most basic and legitimate rights. Therefore, the al-Qaeda organization has managed to appear clearly in the Yemeni arena, and they united again, after receiving help and the support in terms of money and weapons from Yemen’s leaders and supporters, so as to take advantage of the current situation of the country and fact that the armed forces and the other security forces are preoccupied with the maintenance of internal security. They also managed to recruit a large number of the Yemeni people, taking advantage of their poverty and their need. They have already gathered in the city of Zinjibar in order to form their claimed emirate, but the Yemeni army thwarts this project, with the help of the honest people.

The future of Yemen is fraught with danger and uncertainty, due to the existence and the spread of al-Qaeda. In fact, this has led to the country’s destruction. And we have witnessed other examples, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, which have been exposed to daily killing operations due to the spread of al-Qaeda. Thus, the security situation of these countries has been unstable, due to the terrorist operations of al-Qaeda. In fact, these operations have aimed to undermine the country’s security. Thus, Yemen has witnessed the spread of al-Qaeda due to the government’s neglect. That’s why the Yemeni government must fight al-Qaeda through taking advantage of the others’ experiences and expertise. Besides, Yemen must call for the Arab countries’ support in order to fight al-Qaeda and its terrorism. I think that the future of Yemen is uncertain, due to the spread of al-Qaeda. Thus, the regime of Abdullah Saleh is much better than the rule of al-Qaeda. May God save Yemen from these problems of terrorism, murder and bloodshed. And may God help Yemenis to get rid of al-Qaeda as soon as possible.

The Yemeni government must cooperate with people in order to fight the terrorist organization of Al-Qaeda. In fact, Al-Qaeda can destroy Yemen through sowing discord and poisons among people. Unfortunately, the Yemeni society has been suffering from backwardness and ignorance. And his has helped the terrorist organization of Al-Qaeda to move easily in the country. Thus, I hope that the Arab countries and the international community will help Yemen in order to get rid of Al-Qaeda forever.

Al-Qaeda works according to a two-dimensional plan. The first dimension of al-Qaeda's plan is: promoting and publicizing the organization of an Islamic force that defends the Islamic world against the oppression and injustice of the west. It claims that it works against the oppressive political puppet regimes. Al-Qaeda always legitimizes terrorism religiously and politically. They have an ideological stock to convince the people. They found people to justify their actions and publicize their image through analyses to reestablish their identity as a striving force that is professional in leading their battles. Along with the protests and conflict of wills in Yemen, the media of the forces fighting over fortune and power shows al-Qaeda as if it is part of the struggle that moves according to the strategy of the political parties. This broadens the cover over its activity and distracts the vision from its strategy that has nothing to do with the struggle currently going on in Yemen. The second dimension of al-Qaeda's plan is: creating obscurity over their terrorist actions and the nature of the organization, so that it looks to any observer as a part of a conspiracy run by conflicting forces. It makes it look as if they have big projects that cannot be fulfilled without terrorist actions. At the same time, the organization chooses aims, the announced leaderships and executing tools to make it easy to hide its true nature and fact. The organization works secretly; it cannot be besieged unless its strategy is exposed. Facing al-Qaeda needs a lot of patience, balance and long-term policy. In order to have decisiveness, all the scholars and religious scholars have to denounce and condemn al-Qaeda and their ideas. There have to be serious efforts to refute their calls so that the people can besiege them. It is a necessity in our fight with al-Qaeda to rationalize our explanations without employing certain people for that task. The battle against terrorism to protect Islam and the interests of Yemen is an existential battle, and it is the responsibility of every Yemeni. Adopting violence represents a great danger to the future of Yemen, because the final results will support the plans of al-Qaeda. Let's imagine some of the subsequent results if al-Qaeda succeeded in controlling some of the Yemeni governorates by spreading its terrorist cells all over the Yemeni lands. How much will the losses of Yemen be??! No doubt everybody will lose. The worst that will happen is that Yemen will turn into a victim and a harmful, chaotic force against the security of the territory and the whole world. It will be a terrifying province, mired in internal and external conflicts that will eventually exhaust the people and the land of Yemen
