[00:00:01] The Yemen channel is the channel land, specifically for all Yemenis.
[00:00:15] due to this
[00:00:22] not include the rise in oil prices
[00:00:26] that would be enough. This
[00:00:31] The world today, especially
[00:00:35] stance. Many are counting wants from this
[00:00:38] Welcome, dear viewers. The threats posed
[00:00:41] by the terrorist Houthi militia, supported by the Iranian regime,
[00:00:44] continue against international
[00:00:47] Yes, it is navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab,
[00:00:50] in an escalation that raises increasing concern for the security
[00:00:53] of one of the most important
[00:00:55] Yes. What are the political dimensions, in your opinion, for the formation of this maritime passages in the world. The latest attack on the ship
[00:01:00] of an Indian merchant vessel confirms the continuation of these attacks
[00:01:03] that cross Yemen's borders to affect the security of global
[00:01:06] trade and the stability of the region, raising questions
[00:01:10] about ways to confront these threats and the role of the international community
[00:01:13] in protecting freedom of navigation
[00:01:16] to talk about military capabilities. and supporting the Yemeni state to restore and extend its full
[00:01:20] sovereignty over all Yemeni territories. Regarding this
[00:01:24] due to their siege issue, regarding our country's condemnation
[00:01:26] by humans, but rather of the Iranian attack or the Houthi attack supported by Iran,
[00:01:30] the Indian merchant
[00:01:32] speech, and I will also return to the implications ship is
[00:01:35] 48 hours, and you know the focus of our discussion in this special coverage. Before we start
[00:01:37] the discussion with our guests, who will join us successively in this coverage,
[00:01:41] dear viewers, let's watch this report and then start the discussion.
[00:01:44] Stay with us.
[00:01:50] to the entire Yemeni people, is capable, I believe,
[00:01:52] in areas under Houthi control or in
[00:01:57] to send a group of their homeland being plundered The attacks carried out
[00:01:59] terrorist militia, which talks by the Houthi militia against
[00:02:03] meaning that this of naval mines to control commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab are no longer isolated incidents, but have turned into a systematic
[00:02:07] approach that threatens the security of international navigation and exposes
[00:02:10] one of the most important maritime passages in the world to increasing
[00:02:14] risks, amid the militia's continued targeting of ships
[00:02:17] and obstruction of global trade
[00:02:20] and energy supply lines. In this
[00:02:23] context, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates
[00:02:27] region. We all know in in the Republic of Yemen condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist
[00:02:30] attack that targeted the Indian commercial cargo ship
[00:02:34] with an explosives-laden boat, which led to its
[00:02:37] complete sinking. It confirmed that this
[00:02:40] attack represents a blatant violation of international
[00:02:43] law and maritime
[00:02:46] and political analyst, law, and an extension of the series of attacks carried out by the militia against commercial
[00:02:49] vessels in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Gulf of Aden.
[00:02:52] The Ministry affirmed the full solidarity
[00:02:56] of the Republic of Yemen with the Republic of India, praising at the same
[00:03:01] dear viewers. We will pause time the rescue operation carried out by the Yemeni coast guard forces
[00:03:03] with the participation of the naval forces, which resulted
[00:03:07] in the rescue of all crew members and their safe transfer
[00:03:10] to the port of Mocha. This attack reflects
[00:03:15] a message I direct to the entire Yemeni the Houthi militia's determination to drag the region into more tension and harm
[00:03:18] international interests, considering it an arm that implements
[00:03:22] Iran's destructive agenda
[00:03:23] in the region.
[00:03:36] facilities to try to spread terror So, dear viewers, as is its custom,
[00:03:38] this terrorist militia carries out
[00:03:42] continuous targeting and works to implement Iran's
[00:03:46] agenda, Iran's ambitions, and Iran's project in the region. We recently
[00:03:49] saw what it did by targeting
[00:03:52] an Indian
[00:03:54] militias to the civilian merchant ship
[00:03:56] Yes. Has the world failed in the face of this that was carrying of Hormuz. food and aid
[00:04:01] targeting? Has the world not been able to stop to Yemenis. But this militia, in light of the terrorism
[00:04:05] I mean, the Houthi terrorist and starvation and siege it practices against the Yemeni
[00:04:08] people in areas under its control, worked to target this ship
[00:04:11] and sink it. However, the government coast guard forces
[00:04:14] were able to rescue the crew
[00:04:18] of this ship. We have with us now via video call
[00:04:21] Professor Amin Al-Mashouli, a writer and political analyst.
[00:04:25] Professor Amin, welcome. Welcome.
[00:04:28] because the next war will be with Welcome, Professor Amin. Professor Amin, the targeting
[00:04:31] of the Indian
[00:04:34] merchant ship
[00:04:36] and this is its nature. It does not by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia
[00:04:39] carries implications and an escalation at this stage,
[00:04:43] in your opinion. First, greetings to you,
[00:04:46] your guests, your channel, and our dear viewers and followers.
[00:04:50] My dear, the Houthi militias are sending a clear message
[00:04:52] that they are
[00:04:55] from it." The only new against any peace or any talk
[00:04:58] about peace or a truce.
[00:05:00] or engaging in other programs than the killing
[00:05:04] and destruction that we see and observe at
[00:05:07] this stage. Today,
[00:05:10] has once again in 48
[00:05:11] carried out this targeting. hours, they carried out large
[00:05:14] military operations, targeting two Saudi
[00:05:17] ships. They targeted the Indian ship, and they are besieging
[00:05:20] the Yemeni people, telling everyone that I will besiege you, I will besiege
[00:05:24] the interior that is under my mercy and the mercy of
[00:05:27] its missiles and military
[00:05:31] drones. They are also telling all
[00:05:34] these people that wherever you go from me, you are
[00:05:38] under my mercy. I will launch drones, missiles, and booby-trapped
[00:05:42] marine vessels that will achieve what Iran
[00:05:47] arm. Today, these militias are telling the whole
[00:05:49] world that the Bab al-Mandab Strait is no
[00:05:53] longer anything but a purely Iranian strait, whether
[00:05:57] one likes it or not. This is the current situation
[00:05:59] for the Houthi militias, and it is what we see
[00:06:03] clearly before us all. The targeting of this Indian ship
[00:06:05] is a humanitarian targeting
[00:06:09] in every sense of the word, and it is a war crime because this
[00:06:12] ship was carrying humanitarian aid or food
[00:06:15] items. These items were going
[00:06:19] to the port of Mocha to help people or
[00:06:23] feed them, or for whatever reason, they were
[00:06:26] going to help
[00:06:29] people cope with the hardship of life and the harsh living conditions that these
[00:06:33] Houthi militias have caused
[00:06:36] on the interior and on the region. Today,
[00:06:39] and specifically on the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Yes. Of course, there's an important point in your
[00:06:45] of this matter, but you said that today
[00:06:48] the Bab al-Mandab Strait has become a purely
[00:06:51] Iranian strait. So, what is the danger of
[00:06:54] that with Iran's control and dominance over the Strait
[00:06:58] of Hormuz? What is the danger
[00:07:01] of that? My dear, we all realize
[00:07:04] that whoever wants to control this region only needs
[00:07:09] of soldiers and a group
[00:07:13] the strategic choke points that
[00:07:16] surround the Middle East. This is what Great
[00:07:19] Britain did, which was at the time
[00:07:22] an empire where the sun never set. How did it control
[00:07:26] the world? It sent a group of soldiers to
[00:07:29] the Strait of Hormuz, Bab al-Mandab, the Suez Canal, and the Cape
[00:07:33] of Good Hope. And by doing so, it was able to
[00:07:36] strangle this
[00:07:39] political
[00:07:41] geography that this region is the center of the world, and that this
[00:07:45] region is the crossroads for the entire world, from east to
[00:07:48] west and from north to south. Today, Iran wants
[00:07:52] to send a message that I am the one who controls you
[00:07:54] and your oil. We all know that 21%
[00:07:58] of the energy supply that passes through Bab al-Mandab has today been
[00:08:02] obstructed and only enters according to what these militias want
[00:08:05] as a strategic arm for the
[00:08:08] Iranian pirates who started pirating in the Strait
[00:08:12] of Hormuz, and today in Bab al-Mandab, and perhaps tomorrow they may head
[00:08:16] to the Suez Canal as happened in Damietta, and
[00:08:19] although, according to my information, no party has claimed responsibility
[00:08:23] yet, there are indications that
[00:08:26] Iran is behind this region. Today, Iran wants to tell
[00:08:30] the entire region, "Where will
[00:08:33] you go from me and my arms that I control? I have spent
[00:08:36] my heart's blood on these arms, and today
[00:08:40] they are working and doing exactly what
[00:08:43] I want, and these arms have no
[00:08:46] concern for their people, their countries, or their nations,
[00:08:50] but their only concern is what I want,
[00:08:53] the Persian Empire that wants to return to the forefront,
[00:08:57] and it is seizing or devouring the geography of the Bab
[00:09:00] al-Mandab Strait after it obstructed the
[00:09:03] supply chains in the Strait
[00:09:08] Iranian mischief in the region and this
[00:09:13] this terrorism, in your opinion? My brother,
[00:09:16] the whole world is searching, and the language of international dealings is
[00:09:19] absolute pragmatism, meaning that
[00:09:22] it may support one party to obstruct another. Today, we all
[00:09:26] realize that the United States of America strikes
[00:09:30] not for the benefit of the Middle East, but for its personal benefit,
[00:09:33] to eliminate or cut off energy supply chains
[00:09:37] to China in particular,
[00:09:40] China, and we all realize that. Today, the United
[00:09:44] States of America does not want to destroy this region
[00:09:47] in order to blackmail this important geopolitical region for the whole
[00:09:51] world. Where will weapons companies go? Surely,
[00:09:54] they will go bankrupt if this region is not secured. Today, there is
[00:09:58] a struggle that the United States wants to keep
[00:10:02] a wounded tiger, which is Iran. But the Israelis also
[00:10:06] want to eliminate this country in order
[00:10:09] to have free rein in the East.
[00:10:13] Today, the world is not and there is, perhaps,
[00:10:16] as we all followed, a new alliance that has begun to form,
[00:10:20] which is in its early stages, that has begun to emerge and is supported
[00:10:24] by the entire Arab, Islamic, and Middle Eastern world:
[00:10:27] Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar,
[00:10:31] and perhaps other countries will follow. Today, we noticed
[00:10:35] that Saudi Arabia appointed a commander for the naval
[00:10:38] forces or for the naval coalition that was established
[00:10:41] in the past days, and countries totaling
[00:10:45] 14 countries, as the media reported,
[00:10:49] have announced their intention to join
[00:10:52] this coalition.
[00:10:56] in the Middle East, will not allow
[00:11:00] Iran to continue with this
[00:11:03] unlimited tyranny,
[00:11:07] and perhaps the first and last word will be for the Yemeni
[00:11:10] people when they are given the opportunity and the region allows
[00:11:14] us as the Yemeni people to settle our file, and then
[00:11:17] only the Bab al-Mandab Strait will be secured.
[00:11:20] alliance that you referred to, the multinational naval alliance?
[00:11:24] To protect maritime security.
[00:11:27] Today, as you also mentioned, the Saudi Ministry
[00:11:31] of Defense announced the appointment of a commander
[00:11:35] for this alliance. What are the political dimensions in light
[00:11:37] of the current situation? First,
[00:11:41] we all realize that the Bab al-Mandab Strait, specifically
[00:11:45] the Red Sea, specifically the Bab al-Mandab Strait, is not a private
[00:11:48] channel or a private strait dug
[00:11:51] a natural strait, meaning that this
[00:11:55] strait is a global strait that concerns the whole world. And when
[00:11:59] energy and food supply chains are obstructed, as is happening in the targeting of
[00:12:02] this ship that we are talking about today, or the targeting
[00:12:06] of Saudi ships that were carrying oil in the past
[00:12:09] days, Saudi Arabia
[00:12:13] that the Kingdom has enough military naval formations
[00:12:16] to settle the matter, but it realizes that this
[00:12:19] strait is not its own
[00:12:22] or for the riparian states of the Red Sea, but rather it is
[00:12:25] a lifeline for the entire world,
[00:12:28] And when
[00:12:31] countries around the world form a coalition, the burden
[00:12:35] will be lightened, and the cost will
[00:12:38] be divided among these countries,
[00:12:41] and perhaps these countries,
[00:12:44] I can even say, will send military personnel or sailors
[00:12:47] or intelligence or whatever
[00:12:50] they deem appropriate according to their presence
[00:12:54] and the presence of their forces in the Red
[00:12:57] Sea, the Arabian Sea, Bab al-Mandab,
[00:13:00] and the Horn of Africa. Yes. How can this alliance
[00:13:03] succeed, in your opinion? What are the practical steps
[00:13:07] to be able to preserve and protect
[00:13:10] maritime security in Bab al-Mandab and thus also preserve
[00:13:13] trade movements, navigation, supply chains,
[00:13:16] and so on? My brother, we all know that
[00:13:20] these Houthi militias can fight the whole world, and they are
[00:13:24] ready to fight all countries of the world, but they are not
[00:13:28] ready to fight an internal war with the Yemeni people, because
[00:13:31] the Yemeni people have experience dealing with these Houthi
[00:13:34] militias. But we know, and the world knows, and the region
[00:13:38] knows, that if the whole world wants to secure Bab al-Mandab,
[00:13:41] it only needs to take one step
[00:13:44] only, which is to allow the national army to wage
[00:13:48] a decisive ground battle at 360
[00:13:52] degrees in different military
[00:13:55] regions, east, west, north, and south, to wage a battle at
[00:13:59] once. And then the file of
[00:14:02] the Houthi militias will be settled, and then no
[00:14:06] single missile will be launched on the Red Sea
[00:14:10] or the Arabian Sea, because everyone will be under the state's control,
[00:14:13] and the state is the only one capable of settling this file. My brother,
[00:14:16] we all know that the longer the settlement is delayed, the greater
[00:14:20] the cost, not only for the interior but also
[00:14:23] for the region and the whole world. Today, how many
[00:14:27] losses have the riparian states of the Red Sea incurred from these crimes
[00:14:30] committed by the Houthi militias? I read a report at the end of
[00:14:34] last year that says the Suez Canal, and this
[00:14:37] report is from
[00:14:39] Yes. Professor Amin, it seems that we lost
[00:14:43] contact with Professor Amin due to a technical
[00:14:47] issue beyond our control. My colleagues
[00:14:50] in the control room will try to reconnect
[00:14:53] with Professor Amin, the writer and political
[00:14:57] analyst. Professor Amin was talking
[00:15:00] about the multinational coalition concerned
[00:15:03] with protecting maritime navigation and maritime security in
[00:15:07] Bab al-Mandab. He spoke about the riparian
[00:15:11] states of the Red Sea that are directly
[00:15:14] affected, whether they are regional states
[00:15:18] or others, that are directly affected
[00:15:21] by these tensions, this escalation, these practices,
[00:15:24] and this terrorism by the Houthi militia, backed
[00:15:28] by the Iranian regime, in Bab al-Mandab.
[00:15:31] This militia
[00:15:36] A number of countries have been affected. The Suez Canal
[00:15:40] and Egypt are at the top of these countries. Professor Amin
[00:15:43] was talking about a report that
[00:15:46] clarified the large losses incurred by Egypt
[00:15:50] and the Suez Canal specifically
[00:15:53] targeting. And also
[00:15:57] whether in the first time
[00:16:01] when the Houthi terrorist militia escalated and worked
[00:16:04] to disturb security in Bab al-Mandab, or
[00:16:08] currently, and this calls for a firm
[00:16:13] on the multinational alliance to have an impact
[00:16:16] in this matter. We will go now, viewers, if
[00:16:20] contact has been re-established with Professor Amin Al-Mashouli, he returns to us via
[00:16:24] video call, the writer and political analyst.
[00:16:27] Professor Amin, welcome again.
[00:16:30] Welcome. So, Professor Amin has returned to us via phone
[00:16:34] call. Perhaps there was a network issue
[00:16:38] that was also beyond our control. Professor Amin, you
[00:16:41] were talking about the losses to the riparian states, and
[00:16:45] you were specifically talking about the report you read about the Suez Canal and Egypt.
[00:16:48] Please. My dear brother, today,
[00:16:52] the losses within the country and the losses of the region, if I wanted to
[00:16:56] talk or everyone knows how many losses the Yemeni interior has incurred.
[00:17:00] The Houthi militias have destroyed all infrastructure, billions
[00:17:03] of dollars were due to their presence. I was following,
[00:17:07] as you mentioned, a short while ago, the report issued by the Egyptian
[00:17:11] Ministry of Economy, which talks about, I don't remember the exact
[00:17:14] figures, but it's between 6 and 9 billion in losses for the Suez
[00:17:18] Canal due to these Houthi militias obstructing
[00:17:21] energy and food supply chains passing through
[00:17:24] the Suez Canal and flowing to the countries of the world via
[00:17:28] the Cape of Good Hope, meaning that the more the
[00:17:31] settlement for these militias and their elimination is delayed,
[00:17:34] the higher the cost. And everyone knows that the cost of war is less
[00:17:38] than the cost of these Houthi militias remaining,
[00:17:41] and this information is not hidden from anyone, meaning
[00:17:45] that every day we delay, our blood, our souls,
[00:17:48] and our resources as the Yemeni people
[00:17:52] are wasted. Even the region, how many losses has Saudi
[00:17:55] Arabia incurred from the targeting of civilian facilities? How many
[00:17:59] losses has Egypt incurred? How many losses has
[00:18:02] Yemen incurred? These countries, if they do not give
[00:18:05] the green light to the National
[00:18:24] and the entire world, and this is what the entire
[00:18:26] world is paying the price for today, not just us
[00:18:30] and the region. with us. We will go to a short
[00:18:33] break and then return to continue the discussion with you,
[00:18:38] here and then return to continue the discussion. Stay with us.
[00:20:02] So we return again, dear viewers, to talk about
[00:20:06] the terrorist attack and the continuous provocation by the terrorist
[00:20:09] Houthi militia, supported by the Iranian regime,
[00:20:12] in Bab al-Mandab, and its recent
[00:20:16] targeting of the civilian Indian
[00:20:18] merchant ship. We also return to continue the discussion with
[00:20:22] Professor Amin Al-Mashouli, the writer and political analyst.
[00:20:24] Professor Amin, you were saying that the cost
[00:20:28] of liberating Yemen and getting rid of this
[00:20:30] militia is much less than what
[00:20:34] the world, the region, and Yemen pay,
[00:20:38] what Yemenis and civilians everywhere pay for the continuation
[00:20:41] of this militia, its terrorism, and its support
[00:20:44] in Tehran. All the targeting carried out by this militia
[00:20:48] originates mostly from the
[00:20:51] from Hodeidah. What
[00:20:54] has the world, the region, and even Yemenis
[00:20:57] and Yemen lost from the failure
[00:21:00] to complete the liberation of Hodeidah
[00:21:04] and the halt of the battle to liberate Hodeidah, in your opinion?
[00:21:08] If the world's losses did
[00:21:12] for Yemen, even by one cent,
[00:21:16] amount that was added due to the obstruction
[00:21:20] of the flow in Bab al-Mandab is enough to overthrow
[00:21:23] this terrorist group that
[00:21:27] obstructed navigation in the Red Sea
[00:21:30] and hit the region, Saudi Arabia. As
[00:21:33] I said a short while ago, the Egyptian
[00:21:37] economy, my dear, the world today, when you see that
[00:21:40] a ship was hit here and a ship was hit there, this is due to the
[00:21:44] militias, and they are the ones who are responsible. If
[00:21:47] there was a state, international relations would obligate
[00:21:51] that state that borders that sea to protect
[00:21:53] this maritime geography, and it is responsible,
[00:21:57] and the responsibility of the state is different from the responsibility of the militias.
[00:22:00] Today, the Houthi militias send written
[00:22:03] messages in blood, saying that there is no peace
[00:22:06] or this militia. Today, when it shells here or there,
[00:22:10] it sends a message even to those who defend it that
[00:22:14] we do not carry any olive branch for peace, but rather
[00:22:17] a state of death and destruction,
[00:22:21] as was the case within
[00:22:25] best what happened on land or at sea, and we all followed that.
[00:22:29] Yes. So, the targeting of this ship, which
[00:22:32] is a civilian merchant ship carrying
[00:22:36] food and aid
[00:22:42] liberated areas, this targeting debunks the false
[00:22:45] propaganda of the Houthi
[00:22:49] about the siege on Yemen
[00:22:51] and also starves people. The Houthi militias
[00:22:54] are besieging the interior within their
[00:22:58] geography and even besieging the liberated areas. If I wanted to
[00:23:01] mention one detail, how the entire Yemeni economy collapsed
[00:23:05] when it was besieged and prevented from exporting
[00:23:08] a single drop of oil from al-Dabbah port, and they targeted
[00:23:11] al-Dabbah port and all the other two ports from which
[00:23:15] the legitimate Yemeni government was exporting
[00:23:19] in order to support the national economy,
[00:23:23] and that would lead to an improvement in the exchange
[00:23:26] rate and would lead to the Yemeni
[00:23:28] people getting their share
[00:23:32] of their wealth and benefiting from it. Today,
[00:23:35] the Houthi militias seem to be saying, by targeting this ship,
[00:23:38] that I have prevented you from exporting oil, and today
[00:23:42] I prevent you even from receiving food
[00:23:46] and medicine. Perhaps there was medicine on that ship. Today, it besieges everyone
[00:23:50] and tells all Yemenis in our liberated areas
[00:23:53] or in the areas it still controls that you are
[00:23:57] at my mercy, and you are in my sights,
[00:24:00] and there is no escape for you except by eliminating me. This is
[00:24:05] people in the liberated areas and the
[00:24:08] unliberated areas that enough is enough,
[00:24:11] for the coming days may witness
[00:24:14] worse than what we are experiencing from the siege, and perhaps
[00:24:18] blood will be shed. And this I personally expect to
[00:24:22] increase in targeting civilian
[00:24:26] among the popular base after it spread
[00:24:29] it at sea specifically. And if we take
[00:24:33] the detail of this ship, today businessmen
[00:24:36] are afraid to
[00:24:38] bring their goods or materials
[00:24:41] or whatever they want to bring into Yemen. They are afraid
[00:24:45] for it. And everyone knows how the cost of
[00:24:48] insurance has increased due to this strike
[00:24:52] and other strikes in the Red Sea.
[00:24:55] militia is running away from its responsibilities
[00:24:58] towards the people and citizens in the areas
[00:25:02] under its control to such actions, or is it only acting
[00:25:06] today to reduce pressure on Iran
[00:25:09] and what Iran is practicing and Iran's terrorism?
[00:25:12] My dear brother, we all know that the goal of these militias
[00:25:16] is what Iran dictates to them. We have exhausted all words
[00:25:20] on all channels and all media platforms about this
[00:25:23] group, and the subconscious
[00:25:26] has become saturated with the ethics of these
[00:25:30] militias. And perhaps you noticed that when an official
[00:25:33] speaks about this terrorist group, they respond
[00:25:37] with comments, "Brother, we know that it has been a terrorist
[00:25:40] group since 2015. Nothing new comes
[00:25:45] thing that the Yemeni people, from head to toe, should do
[00:25:49] is to fight a decisive battle against it. My dear brother,
[00:25:52] the Yemeni people have become
[00:25:56] so disgusted by the evils of this group
[00:25:59] that even their popular base is repulsed.
[00:26:03] What new thing will we add when we talk about
[00:26:06] this group? The new thing we should talk
[00:26:10] about is that we should utter one word
[00:26:13] only, or one sentence only: a call to the Yemeni people,
[00:26:17] "Do you want to bear arms?" Whoever wants to bear
[00:26:20] arms, we will organize them. And whoever does not
[00:26:23] know how to bear arms, we will teach them how to bear arms
[00:26:26] in order to fight a decisive battle against these Houthi militias.
[00:26:30] As for going into analysis here and there,
[00:26:36] these militias, my dear brother, and the ignorant, face two choices:
[00:26:39] either they kill you or you kill them. We, as a national project,
[00:26:42] must pay the cost to eliminate these Houthi
[00:26:46] militias, one way or another.
[00:26:49] they who impose this and seek to kill Yemenis
[00:26:53] and destroy their resources. But the Leadership
[00:26:56] Council also praised the efforts of the coast
[00:26:59] guard forces. The coast guard forces were also
[00:27:02] able to rescue the ship's crew.
[00:27:05] What is your reading of this performance,
[00:27:09] the performance of the coast guard forces, and what do they need
[00:27:26] Professor Amin, a political reading of these capabilities and this
[00:27:29] success today in this
[00:27:32] mission. They succeeded in evacuating
[00:27:35] this ship and brought them back to Mocha port, and this is a great and qualitative
[00:27:39] step. We thank them for it,
[00:27:42] and we support them. But the brothers in the Presidential
[00:27:46] Leadership Council must leave the
[00:27:48] square of statements, because
[00:27:52] the Yemeni people are suffocating today from within, and they see the blood
[00:27:55] of their children and the resources
[00:27:59] before their eyes, and they are tied and cannot do anything. The
[00:28:03] Presidential Leadership Council, headed by Dr. Rashad Muhammad
[00:28:06] Al-Alimi, must fight
[00:28:10] this historic battle, because we as the Yemeni people
[00:28:13] face historical challenges. My dear brother, the Imamate
[00:28:17] previously did not commit such crimes
[00:28:20] as we see today. Why? Because these
[00:28:23] militias today are fighting
[00:28:26] with the expertise of a Middle Eastern country,
[00:28:29] which is Iran, and that is not hidden from anyone.
[00:28:33] They fight with modern weapons. They fight
[00:28:36] with everything available in Iran for one reason: to
[00:28:40] divide the geography of Yemen that controls the Bab
[00:28:43] al-Mandab Strait. Yes. Professor Amin Al-Mashouli, the writer
[00:28:48] I thank you for this presentation and clarification. You were with us via video call.
[00:28:52] Thank you very much. We are now joined by Dr. Muhammad Zamih, our country's
[00:28:56] ambassador to UNESCO. Dr. Muhammad, welcome.
[00:28:58] Welcome. Welcome, doctor.
[00:29:02] Doctor, the escalation by the Houthi terrorist
[00:29:05] militia, also supported by Iran.
[00:29:09] Today, the Houthis defy
[00:29:11] the interior and exterior, and they kill, destroy,
[00:29:15] and strike everything without
[00:29:18] oversight or accountability. Where do you think
[00:29:21] this militia wants to take Yemen and the region?
[00:29:24] Thank you very much, my dear brother.
[00:29:26] Greetings to you and your guest
[00:29:29] and
[00:29:32] I mean, more cannot be said than what has been said
[00:29:36] about the terrorism and criminality of these militias against Yemen
[00:29:40] and Yemenis. I mean, now when you write or read
[00:29:44] or analyze any analysis about the terrorism of these
[00:29:47] militias, the simplest Yemeni citizen tells you, "We
[00:29:50] know that." Meaning that all
[00:29:54] Yemenis realize the danger of these
[00:29:56] domestic economic, political,
[00:29:59] security, and military situation, and to Yemen's international reputation. And to shipping
[00:30:03] lanes. But this is not the question. The question
[00:30:06] is, what is the other side doing? This other side
[00:30:10] is the legitimate leadership and the legitimate government and legitimacy in general,
[00:30:13] as well as what is required from the international
[00:30:17] and regional community? This is the question that should be posed
[00:30:20] to us in legitimacy and to the region, because
[00:30:24] this militia is not doing anything new when
[00:30:26] it targets Yemenis domestically, or when
[00:30:29] it targets marine shipping lanes.
[00:30:33] It also targets neighboring countries,
[00:30:39] deny that, but rather boasts about it. And it used to
[00:30:43] perhaps hide
[00:30:46] its loyalty or its strong relationship or its dependence
[00:30:49] on Iran, but today it boasts and the
[00:30:53] Yemenis all know, and the Arabs, that it is an Iranian
[00:30:56] arm in Yemen, and an advanced unit of the Revolutionary Guard.
