The politician and journalist Salah Al-Saqladi posed a pivotal question to the Salafists in the south: Who is the guardian? Al-Alimi or Al-Zubaidi? This question is not absurd, as the answer to it will determine which side the Salafists will side with in the event of a dispute between the political forces under the name of legitimacy. Whether the dispute is political or armed, contradictory political projects, no matter how temporarily coexisting, are bound to reach the stage of inevitable clash and division. Political and religious interference has always been a present feature in recent decades, and its consequences have been disastrous.

Al-Saqladi pointed out that the scene in the south is witnessing heated disputes that are disputing the Salafist House and weakening its pillars. Most of them are disputes that relate to today’s reality from years ago, in which intellectual differences are mixed with the political-geographical dimension - north-south. After these groups, which previously distanced themselves from politics and the seat of government, have today become the subject of intense political, intellectual and sectarian polarization internally and regionally.
