Islah founded in newly unified Yemen

The Yemeni Congregation for Reform (al-Islah) was founded on 13 September 1990 in Sana'a — months after Yemeni unification — by tribal paramount sheikh Abdullah al-Ahmar together with Muslim Brotherhood figures and the Salafi scholar Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, with the tacit blessing of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. It fused a tribal confederacy, the Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood and a Salafi current into the country's main Sunni Islamist party.
