Frantic campaigns that did not calm down or stop for years, and once it calms down in a place until it erupts elsewhere more fiercely than its predecessors. Each time it takes different forms, all of which target the Yemeni Islah Party by distorting, betraying, lying, trampling and spreading rumors. In addition, it tries to pin a series of fabricated accusations against it for seamy purposes. The bosses of these businesses and those behind them feel that it is difficult to expose the falsity of these allegations or to expose them in front of clear facts.

 

The public function represented one of the biggest issues that the party has been subjected to since the revolution of February 11, 2011, after the government of national consensus. At that time, the party was targeted by most of the political currents. Sometimes the Islah Party answered to those allegations and sometimes preferred not to engage in side battles that preoccupy public opinion on key issues, and at times leave them to the memory and intelligence of the Yemeni citizen who knows many facts.

 

These campaigns have not stopped for one day since that date, but remain as they are until today. Newspapers, websites, institutions and media outlets have adopted systematic campaigns. Strangely enough, when they were doing such dirty work, they believed it was difficult to expose falsehood and expose the facts in front of public opinion. Here, the investigative press should have taken its place in uncovering some of these facts and reaching out to one issue as an example to clarify the facts, which can be measured in many other cases.

 

After the publication of press reports on Taiz, Shabwa, Saada and Marib over the past few weeks, this is the new inquisitorial investigation adapted by Yemen Monitor website, which is a highly credible website, publishes an investigation on the control of political parties and organizations on the public function in Hadramout - Eastern Province.
