In the past, before I knew this man, I used to read congratulations to political leaders on national occasions, and only Minister Al-Zaouri would congratulate President Al-Zubaidi and no one else. It was as if he was saying, “This is the only one who represents me and who deserves to be congratulated.” I knew then that a man like him would not He is only so brave and clear that he cannot compromise or evade what he believes in.
Later I got to know the minister closely and realized that his clarity stemmed from the sincerity of his approach and his devotion to his principles.
Despite the short period of time that I got to know this man, it was sufficient for me to learn qualities that are rarely found in a responsible person like him.
The talk about the minister, and before that the writer and intellectual, and before that the revolutionary and fighter Muhammad Saeed Al-Zaouri, is a talk about the technocrat in its comprehensive meanings, a talk about a veteran with what this term includes in our modern era, the man of the revolution and the state, a talk about the revolution with the various turns it went through, And a talk about the loyalty that pushed people with bare chests to confront all the machines of killing and torture for many years without getting tired or weakened, a talk about those who lived in the fields of struggle and devoted their lives to getting rid of the occupier, and those who engaged in administrative work and innovated in the method of state administration..
It is southern history with its manifestations and stages of its glorious revolution. It is represented before us by the character of this man coming from the time of purity, serenity, and sincerity, to the time of sacrifice, redemption, and the most sincere.
Minister Muhammad Saeed Al-Zaouri, in addition to being a revolutionary, a fighter, and a seasoned administrative man, the man possesses many qualities that are not found in anyone else. He is the writer who dazzles you with his awesome literary method in his writings, and the eloquence of the sentences and phrases that he chooses, which only express that you stand. In front of a person who combined literature, charisma, the style of persuasion, the courage of a presentation, and the presentation of a confident and stubborn person who does not budge from his principles.
As you look at the achievements of Minister Muhammad Al-Zaouri and the shift he brought about in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, you realize the correctness of the approach chosen by our transitional council, in participating in the government, controlling state institutions and qualifying human resources, as a strategic goal, which does not stop at taking into account political balances and the nature of... This stage is even more than preparing to train a qualified administrative cadre to run the state, and not providing an opportunity for the deep state, which is controlled by parties that are hostile to the South. In strengthening its control over the country’s capabilities, and controlling everything.
Many people may not know much about this man before he assumed the ministerial portfolio - despite his rich history and great abilities that put him at the forefront of leading revolutionary action - because he is a practical person who does not like to attract attention, and does not compete for platforms and titles, during the period of the peaceful southern movement. Al-Zaouri did not leave an arena or field of struggle without sculpting his presence in it, and there was no southern revolutionary event without him being the first to attend, not for the sake of recording positions or even to clear the conscience, but rather out of a duty to feel responsible, in front of a homeland that we lost with a slip of the pen, and in front of generations eager to live in a homeland that deserves it. She deserves it, and there is no homeland that can crush her and her be crushed with it.
We have the right to say at the conclusion of this conversation about this exceptional man, that Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Zaouri is one of the men who are exalted in positions, but they are not exalted by them. He is one of the few men in this government who are reliable and constitute a fine model that gives hope for the future. Better.
Peace be upon the revolutionary fighter and technocrat of our revolution, Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Zaouri.
