One hundred days after the death of former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the controversy over the future of his party was brought back among its supporters and pro-Saleh activists.
This comes in line with human rights efforts to transfer the file of his assassination by Houthis to the International Criminal Court.
In this context, social media has seen controversy among activists loyal to the General People's Congress party about its future, sparked by the 100th day of the death of its founder and president Saleh.
Pro-GPC activists accused the current leaders in Yemen and abroad of proving that they had failed to take any steps to unify the party's wings and develop a clear stance against murderers of the previous president.
Media activist in GPC Kamel al-Khoudani attacked the leaders of the party, who worked with Houthi militias in Sanaa, accusing them of betraying Saleh and his companion leader Aref al-Zuka and describing them as "cowards and impotent."
Khoudani criticized the leaders of GPC party in Sanaa for handing over the party's channel to the militia and their continued alliance with it.
He said that this contrasts with Saleh's will, in which he called for confronting the group and breaking the partnership with it in his last speech before his death in December.
The GPC activist revealed that the leader of the party, who is also Minister of Higher Education in the Houthi government, Hussein Hazeb, rejected bringing up the subject of Saleh’s relatives who are detained in Houthi prisons during the latest meeting of the leaders in Sanaa, describing what he did as "insolent."
“We will not remain silent, and we will not let our party disappear from the political scene because of your personal interests, especially that many rely on it to draw Yemen's future road map alongside other forces and parties," he said.
Khoudani did not exclude leaders of GPC abroad, and he accused them of failing to carry out the task of taking care of the displaced leaders and activists, who fled from the areas that are controlled by Houthi militias after Saleh’s death, fearing they would be oppressed.
He pointed to some leaders, saying they disowned Saleh because they claimed he did not coordinate with them on the issue of the uprising against the Houthi militia.
He also referred to other party leaders, who were asking for money to carry out any act or even to take over the leadership of the party.
In the same context, other activists in the party considered that the behavior of its leaders, following Saleh’s death, indicates that GPC will become ineffective, which is supported by many activists who do not belong to the party.
