It is a Yemen wide a non-event because no one cared much for Dammaj and Dammajis. The Dammaj lot secluded themselves from the rest of us and wondered why no one came to help them, besides, Yemenis are generally busy trying to get though each day to be bothered helping people sail very close to takfiring everyone. What I find funny in an unfunny way is that Dammaj supported Ali Abdullah Saleh throughout the uprising for some misguided reason, and slammed any type of uprising against rulers who rule by kufr as haram, they have legitimacy and right to the obedience of the populace. I don't follow this opinion. And perhaps deep down in the Dammaji heart they didnt follow it either but rather wanted to keep their Saudi taghoot funding alive. WHat happens next? Houthis (shia rebels) get bold and cashed up by Iran. They start steamrolling into various northern areas and lay seige to Dammaj. I first heard of shells falling on Dammaj a few years ago. Houthis have made it very clear for a long time that one of their aims is to destroy Dammaj Dar al-Hadith and then Jama'at al-Eman (Eman uni headed by Abdul-Majeen az-Zindani, designated Global Terrorist mashaAllah!) The head of Dar al-Hadith Dammaj calls hihad publically. many salafists go, some from the salafi centre in Marib some from the centre in Dhamar, but more help was needed and as the situation worsened some AQAP linked jihadis went, with their trainig and experience to help the salafi brothers. When they get arrive, they are welcomed by gunfire aimed at them. Dammaj declared that they are in no need to take assistance from AQAP and besides they AQAP are from a different ideology!! What the!!! Maybe they are afrain of the drone strikes. So Dammaj prefered taghoot help from AQAP help and wondered why after such a long time defending their turf did not the Yemeni government intervene to assist and protect them? BEcause the Yemeni government is beholden to the Houthis and to Saudi Arabia who not only fund the Dammajis but also fund the Houthis with much more. Is it not just easier to stick to the mainstream and not take haram taghooti money and speak truth at all times even if it is against your own self? I am sure I read stuff like that in Quran and classic and modern texts. Now Dammaj is gone, and its students are still evacuating. The leadership is gone of course airlifted out by military helicopters as part of the cease fire deal - surrender. The students are having a tough time though, they are being forced out of Dammaj by they Houthis, and their new location - Hudaida - has not been smooth, some Hudaidis dont want these Salafis in their area. Not sure why, they are harmless enough. I find it hard to feel sympathy for the fall of Dammaj, they brought it upon themselves, but the symbolic meaning of Dammaj falling is great. The Houthis have gathered much momentum and are very organised while Sunnah are bumbling about because they forgot the way. Salafis or Ahlul Sunah wal-Jama'ah or Islahi (Ikhwani). Talk, Talk, talk and very little action. Another day of feeling disappointed by our Islamic leaders. Islam is the hot coal that no one wants to grasp. Why don't dron strikes land on Houthis? They are killing and terrorising, but they are doing it inside Yemen and Yemeni blood is very cheap. THe Houthis slogan is "Death to America, Death to Israel and Curses on the Jews, Victory to Islam". But really all they are killing Yemenis, any Yemeni, Cursing the Sunnah and companions of ALlah (Abu Bakr, Umar, Aisha and Hafsa Allah be pleased with them).
