Aden Tomorrow Newspaper and its website published on Monday, 26th of January 2014, news entitled “Anonymous Islamic party reappears in Mukalla and Aden amid new fears of new process of mixing papers in the South”. The newspaper mentioned “An unknown Islamist party resumed its activity in southern Yemen, known as the Islamic Hizb ut Tahrir and reappeared again after an earlier emergence in the year 2011…. etc”. It also mentioned “Local residents in the city of Aden and Mukalla in southern Yemen said to Aden Tomorrow: “Anonymous people hung in several streets of the two cities banners calling for the rejection of the existence of any borders which this party’s banners described as colonial.” In addition, it added that: “These banners were hung on several buildings in the cities of Aden and Mukalla, and it was noted that the same posters were used in the two cities, and the party did not proceed to exercise any political activity in any other city in Yemen.”

So, this was how the newspaper’s and its website’s report was committed to professionalism and objectivity!! This is how it dealt with the party and its activities!!! So, we wonder, if we reveal the truth and remove from its eyes the mist of lies that it threw at the party, would it publish this Press Release on its website, or its professionalism and objectivity would prevent it to do so??!! It’s only then that we will know if the decision to publish is in the hands of its owners or in the hands of the demons.

To say that Hizb ut Tahrir is an unknown party is contrary to the truth, as Hizb ut Tahrir is a global party that operates in more than 40 countries around the world. It is well known, especially to the media and those claiming to follow events and news!! Though the Hizb’s strong global public activities are not covered by the media, especially visual media, it is because of the media itself as there are those who put red lines that cannot be bypassed, most importantly when it comes to the coverage and transmission of the global works carried out by the party on the anniversary of the Khilafah state’s demolition.

Hizb ut Tahrir, which exists in many counties around the world, has mobilized the Ummah and the people of power to work for the correct change, which will only be under the rightly guided Khilafah on the method of the Prophet at the time where all the projects imported from the West and its fallen civilization have failed, including the secular democratic projects; the so-called “civil state”, or socialist, nationalist, or patriotic projects, which failed to provide a decent life for the Islamic Ummah because they do not fit with its Aqeeda and do not satisfy Allah the Almighty, rather they introduced a horrific crisis on those who they are applied on.

The party has intensified its work, addressing the Ummah as a whole, especially in the tragic anniversary, namely the 93rd anniversary for the demolition of the Khilafah State. It was the state that the vindictive West has worked to destroy in conspiracy with a group of Arabs and Turks traitors, and eventually they got what they wanted and the Khilafah was abolished on 28 Rajab 1342 AH, corresponding to the 3rd of March, 1924 CE. Therefore, the party organized conferences, seminars, rallies and hanging banners, posters and other works on such a painful anniversary. The people of Yemen are part of this Ummah, and they are actually the most worthy to be in the forefront working to that great goal as Allah سبحانه وتعالى has honored them with a prestige as mentioned by His Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.

The Khilafah is the only state which can protect them, preserve them and provide them with a decent life and cut off the West and their conspiracies. The Yemeni people have tried socialism and capitalism, but it only increased them in misery, infighting and fragmentation; however, there are arrogant people being stubborn.

The party has carried out its work in Wilayah of Yemen, including hanging banners that covered most of the provinces in the north and south of the capital Sanaa and passing through Dhamar, Ibb, Taiz and even Aden and Mukalla and other cities. It does not distinguish between the people of Yemen, and it does not distinguish between the Muslims. It is far impossible for the party to be a paper in the hands of the West and its henchmen of agent rulers and influential politicians. This distortion and global propaganda against it is only a part of the war declared by the West and its henchmen on Hizb ut Tahrir and its aim. This is due to the fact that it is the only party which exposes the West’s plots and games in the whole world. Why wouldn’t it as the West understands that Khilafah is what will expel its influence from the country, and Khilafah will follow it to its own home to make its people embrace Islam in crowds since they will witness the good care and the correct treatments it adopts. So, Khilafah will be their savior and guard, especially in light of the economic and moral crises that afflict them.

We wish that the newspaper and its website had stopped at this shallowness in their handling of how the party works, but they exceeded that by attempting to portray the party as using violence and materialistic means in its method to establish the Khilafah. However, how would the party would do so if it had marched on the way for establishing the state following the method of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, in which he did not use materialistic means to establish his state. The party did not do that in order to stay safe or out of fear and cowardice, as its Shabab are being imprisoned, tortured and prosecuted and some are trying to fabricate charges on them, but they have not strayed away from the method of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who they follow.

We will not dwell too much in the reply, will not be severe in it, and will not fall for the confusion and distortion that the paper and its website have fell for, but we will think well of them and seek an excuse for those who do not see us for the mist in their eyes, or for the lack of information they have, though we are not hiding behind masks!! We do not run away to Mars after doing our work!! Instead, we are visible, and we are committed to the right way, for the right way and for Khilafah, despite of the cover-ups and distortion, we are diligent workers.

Here are some pictures of the banners hanging in the capital Sanaa and the city of Taiz that you may see.
