22 Feb 2012 By Markaz Kavkaz Ansar Al-Sharia (Supporters of Sharia or al-Qaeda
in the Arabian Peninsula) are opening a new front
which is the media front, so will they be superior in
it as they were superior skilfully in the front of
military war, either we like that or not all the data
on the ground indicates that Ansar Al-Sharia is
superior to the military machines of the government,
and they are today opening a new front which is the
media front after they achieved a partly relative
stability in the battle front... Departure of the plundering gangs and banditry
In an exploratory tour which the weekly Adeni
newspaper Al-Omanaa did in the Islamic
Emirate of Waqar (formerly Jaar), to view the
impression of the people and their coexistence with
Ansar Al-Sharia who control the city and manage the
responsibility of the social life and security in it.
This city was from the most uncontrollable and
chaotic where banditry, theft and murder spread and
gangs were a consistent and organized power, and have
leaders that supervise it and lead it and there is no
one similar to them in any other region or city as
many have was known about them in Jaar and outside it.
As soon as Ansar Al-Sharia controlled this city and
imposed themselves as a reality, the gangs of banditry
and theft in the beginning showed cooperation with
them, and lost when it tried to keep the city in chaos
and continuing the plunder and looting to fulfil their
desires, which was meet with refusal and fighting from
Ansar Al-Sharia and they demanded the implementation
of the Islamic Sharia on every violator as what
happened later after the full control as implementing
the Haad of theft and the Qisas in murder and other
Hudud, which made the leaders of these gangs forced to
leave the region and the city after a fierce fight as
the people of the city say. Return of life to the city of Waqar Al-Omanaa newspaper visited several locals who were
selling and buying in the stalls and stores, as well
as offices of the administrations of Ansar Al-Sharia
and public markets, also took some photos that show
the vehicles and equipments of Ansar Al-Sharia which
does its role in cleaning the streets from rain water
and fixing some of the dilapidated water pipes and
cleaning the environment from the pile of garbage, in
addition to seeing the projects that were presented by
Ansar Al-Sharia to the locals during the period of
their rule to the city. One of the youth called ‘Razq' sells petrol in the
black market hangs the picture of the Jihadi leader
Osama bin Laden behind him on a tree that he leans
against and in front of him are the barrels of petrol,
he said to Al-Omanaa: "Frankly the situation that we live in from
security, stability and justice we haven't heard of
and seen before except when Ansar Al-Sharia came to us
and fought the thieves, murderers, gangs and corrupt
people and they helped us in many unresolved problems
and solved it"... and he added: "Thanks to Ansar Al-Sharia
I leave my belongings in the street in any time and go
to sleep in the night and return in the morning and
they remain in its place and nobody can take anything,
and if someone dared he will find his hand separated
in front of him". As for Lutfi Abduljaber the owner of a shop of
cloth: "I have never witnessed this security and stability
before, we used to be blackmailed by the thugs of the
regime under any excuse like the commercial register
and licenses and sums of money were taken from us
daily under any excuse, I used to pay to display my
merchandise on the door of the exhibition, I mean in
front of the shop... But today Alhamdulillah with the
grace of Allah and due to the presence of Ansar Al-Sharia
I didn't pay one Riyal and I'm not afraid or concerned
on my trade as before, I go out from my shop to pray
with my shop open and I don't need from close it as
long as there is someone who will do justice to me if
someone dared to touch my work". On his part Adnan Al-Sharaabi a vegetable seller
said: "Yesterday we used to pay everyday 1500 to the
thugs of the authority for squatting on the street but
today we don't pay one Riyal under the rule of Ansar
Al-Sharia, they didn't ask for anything except to move
away from the street so that we don't cause congestion
for the shoppers". The food aid On the other hand in a visit to the office of
public relief and meeting - Obaid Marzooq, one of the
supervisors of the relief committee - who explained
that the office of relief was opened since the
departure of the displaced from Zinjibar and it
gathers the subsidies and receives it several
organizations and distributes it on the poor and
displaced stating that it covers 20 thousand family
from Al-Haror to Al-Arqoub except Batees, Al-Hissin
and Al-Rawaa for the presence of another branch that
covers these regions and all of it are under
supervision and organization of Ansar Al-Sharia. And he added: ‘There isn't any problems or
shortening or disorder since every family is given a
sack of rice and a sack of wheat and some sugar and
lentil and two bottles of 10 liters oil and some salt
and sack of barley and beans, in addition that these
subsidies are delivered to the far away people to
their homes, including the displaced of Zinjibar in
the Emirate of Waqar who are almost 3700 family. Solving cases unsolved from 20 years The court of Waqar became a model that people speak
about everywhere and one of the women said to one of
the youth "If you have a right you will only find
justice with Ansar Al-Sharia after they gave me my
right which no one gave me from twenty years", the
court in Waqar solved cases which were unsolved from
more than 20 years after all the people were unable to
solve it and today these cases only took one week to
solve it. Restoration of health Regarding the health aspect, the deputy of the
director of the health centre Mohammed Nassir Saeed
said to me that after the warplanes targeted Al-Razi
hospital which covered many of the problems, Ansar Al-Sharia
equipped a health centre like the first aid and
providing services to it... stating that who remained
from the medical staff which departed after the
destruction of the hospital with the aerial
bombardment are working next to the Doctors Without
Borders. And he said that the problems that they face is
that the centre is small because of the receiving and
throng of the sick. And Mohammed Nassir requested from the benevolent
wealthy people and the organizations to present
medical services and rehabilitation of Al-Razi
hospital and develop it to return to work and save the
lives of the citizens who suffer hardship after it
covered some of the important matters like operations
and surgeries and other in a state of instability, but
today after providing security and safety and
spreading instability we find that it is a chance to
rehabilitate the hospital and develop it. And if we
find someone who listens who has humanity and
conscience to help us in rehabilitation of the
hospital and return of the doctors to it after they
were displaced by the shelling of the warplanes -
according to him. Piles of garbage and sewerage In the same time Al-Omanaa visited one of
the faltering projects from almost 15 years and wasn't
rehabilitated despite receiving sums of money in its
name, which is the project of the sewerage and the
piles of garbage that were neglected by the former
local authority and Ansar Al-Sharia expelled it and
restored the sewage system who the locals said that
they very much affected from it because of the return
of the sewage water to the bathrooms in the houses, it
is supposed that Asphalt passes over these sewage that
extends to the cement factory and these sums of the
money were paid from the German project but it wasn't
completed because of the corruption that was practiced
by the former authority. Providing the water and electricity services
Regarding the water projects the water system was
rehabilitated by Ansar Al-Sharia after the project was
neglected and some of it were stolen by the farmers
that were investing it and depriving the locals from
their drinking water and the Ansar Al-Sharia role was
fighting disorder and rehabilitated the systems and
brought pumping equipment and rehabilitated one fifth
of the wells, after they in the beginning they kept
barrels in every neighborhood until the water project
was rehabilitated. In addition to that Ansar Al-Sharia launched a
project of electricity and delivering it to several
regions after it were deprived from it since 1986, and
from these regions Sakin, Eiis, Sayhan, Al-Jabalain
and Hajfour, which was met with widespread
satisfaction among the people of these regions since
they accomplished within months what the former
authority was able to do in tens of years. And Ansar Al-Sharia don't receive any sums of money
from the citizens in return for providing these
services that they present to the people. Wagdi Al-Shaabi, |
