Overcoming the southern issue locally, regionally, and internationally has become completely impossible after it became the fullest of eyes and ears. On the other hand, all indications appear that the southern project aspiring to restore the state in the south is being fiercely suppressed, not only by the traditional local opponents of the south, but also by powerful regional powers, the most prominent of which is Saudi Arabia. Therefore, there is an alignment. My party, the Gulf, and the United States refuse to ignore this issue - at least in the foreseeable future - until the ship of settlement is leveled with the interests of the Yemeni forces despite the differences and discrepancies between these forces and the interests of the Gulf.
It is not this plan - I mean ignoring the southern issue - that is most dangerous to it, but rather the plan to represent it in the coming days in a weak way and to impersonate it by means of southern entities and personalities with a southern guise and a partisan essence, impersonating the true southern will of the majority of southerners, as happened in previous stages, and awakening the old southern conflicts and stoking them. . This matter is clearly being engineered not only by excluding the Transitional Council and the rest of the active southern forces from the dialogues that took place and are taking place between Riyadh and Sanaa for almost a year, but also through the establishment of regional political and tribal entities and councils in parallel with the establishment of military entities parallel to the southern forces and perpetuating the idea of fragmenting the geography into canton islands. It is scattered with Saudi support and financing, and Western interests lie in its details.
The Southern Transitional Council appears to be in a situation that can only be described as embarrassed, lost in thought, clouded by shock as a result of the Saudi rush towards Sanaa, and the brief, timid statement that it issued on Friday evening reflects its difficult situation, as it (the Transitional Council) is caught between two millstones: Saudi pressures and the promises it made to its fans. In recent years. In addition to this situation, he is in dire need of his support, not because he deserves it, but because the cause in whose name he speaks deserves to be defeated, with what is available today in the midst of a great conspiracy, and before that, he needs to review his positions seriously and frankly.
Today, he finds himself exposed and feeling let down by the coalition - even though the latter did not give the transitional nor non-transitional parties a promise to solve the southern issue in a solution that is consistent with the southern ambitions represented by the southern revolution and the southern movement -. The Southern cause, in its name, its popular weight, its political and national symbolism, and its rifle, entered the war blindfolded without any promises from the coalition, and even fought in front of the world as part of what is called legitimacy. This was followed by an improvised political partnership that doubled the amount of dense fog that has enveloped it since the beginning of this war.
In all the stages of understandings and agreements that the Transitional Council entered into with the so-called legitimacy and under the auspices and desire of the Gulf - under the pretext of forming a broad front of alignment against the Houthis, the Transitional Council and the southern issue did not win except with vaguely worded, gelatinous promises, which are rather the minimum demands, which made the Transitional Council roll with its speech from the roof of its name: dialogue and settlement. According to the North-South dualism, the demand to include him as a mere partner within a government delegation or a presidential council has reached the bottom of the table, and they are also thrown into the Gulf waste basket.
However, the transitional party still has effective cards if it has the intention to correct the dysfunctional situation and improve the position of the southern issue on the next settlement table and to reduce the size of the loss. The most important of these cards are: dissolving from the political partnership that has become a burden on the southern issue and shackles that bind the council itself and eat away at its public balance. Instead, return to the side of the masses and unite the weakened southern front, away from the phobia and phobia of the alliance, and away from the nonsense (the alliance will tear our souls from our bodies and throw us behind the sun) and away from the idea of takeover.
This deceptive alliance at the present time is too weak to do foolish things. It is trying to pull itself together and get out of its predicament and is not ready to open a front with anyone. Or, more clearly, it is at a moment when it is easy to extract rights from it, even by means of blackmail and opportunism, as the parties do with it.. Will we see? A different position on the transitional government that rises to the scale of the challenge?
