[00:00:00] security and military and on the reputation of international security and on navigation
[00:00:03] lines, but this is not the question. The
[00:00:06] question is what does the other party
[00:00:10] do? This other party is the legitimate leadership and the legitimate
[00:00:13] government and legitimacy in
[00:00:16] They also intervene in general, as well as what is required from the international
[00:00:18] and regional community? This is the question that should be posed
[00:00:22] before us in legitimacy and before the region, because
[00:00:26] this militia is not new. When it targets Yemenis inside
[00:00:30] or when it targets navigation lines
[00:00:32] of the community, because the community is an integral at sea, and it also targets
[00:00:36] executive offices in neighboring countries, this
[00:00:38] is its nature, and it does not deny that, but it boasts about it. Before,
[00:00:42] it used to perhaps hide
[00:00:46] its loyalty or its strong relationship or its affiliation
[00:00:50] with Iran, but today it boasts,
[00:00:52] and all Yemenis and Arabs
[00:00:55] know that it is an Iranian arm in Yemen and an advanced group of the Revolutionary
[00:00:59] Guards. The country. But I
[00:01:01] think that such
[00:01:03] because of this events, at a time when Yemenis
[00:01:06] expect us to take the decisive
[00:01:09] military stance, if these
[00:01:11] and pay attention militias, after النموذجية Model School. In this
[00:01:14] you prove your strength and ability we have reached a reasonable degree of military confrontation with the militias after they have united
[00:01:19] to a timeline. And also, among or at least there were unified operations for all military
[00:01:22] and security sectors,
[00:01:25] Yemenis expect that there will be a military
[00:01:29] action. We say it with full conviction, there must be a military action
[00:01:33] to deter these militias inside in coordination, of course,
[00:01:36] with the leadership of the Arab Coalition and with
[00:01:40] the international community. As for the situation remaining as it is, the international
[00:01:43] community will only condemn and we will not
[00:01:47] get in this situation in the Yemeni situation we will not get condemnation.
[00:01:51] of overcrowding in Why?
[00:01:57] They are Yemenis like other security and the joining of a number of Because the UN envoy, unfortunately, does not want to use harsh language if these militias.
[00:02:00] He has what he thinks are justifications because he does not want to
[00:02:04] lose contact with them, so they are flimsy justifications because among
[00:02:08] his tasks is to inform the International Security Council clearly
[00:02:11] and unambiguously about the developments
[00:02:14] and crimes committed by these
[00:02:17] militias against Yemenis and outside
[00:02:20] Yemen against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and regarding
[00:02:24] maritime navigation routes. Yes, I mean, today, Doctor,
[00:02:28] in cooperation with you say that all the cards have fallen. Politics is no longer,
[00:02:32] meaning, the Presidential Leadership Council, nor even the Yemenis, have
[00:02:35] only one option, which is the option of getting rid of this terrorist
[00:02:39] militia. I mean, to what extent are the
[00:02:44] verbally, in order to be with conditions, whether regional or
[00:02:45] institutions even international, suitable for this decisive
[00:02:48] imagine, of the fighters on action, in your opinion? I mean, when you talk about
[00:02:51] the internal situation, there have been agreements since
[00:02:54] 2004 until this moment with
[00:02:57] the Houthis. If the international community, regarding
[00:03:00] the Houthis and their desire for peace, can do that, let them come up with one
[00:03:04] agreement that the Houthis have committed to. If
[00:03:08] that is not enough to prove that the path of a political
[00:03:11] solution has reached a dead
[00:03:15] end, or a dead end, unfortunately, then whoever
[00:03:19] realizes this fact that this political solution has reached a dead
[00:03:22] end must review himself. Moreover, during
[00:03:26] the past years, these militias have not hesitated to
[00:03:29] use all kinds of weapons politically,
[00:03:32] economically, media-wise, and propagandistically,
[00:03:36] as well as militarily, in order to assert their control over
[00:03:40] the areas they control and attack the areas of the legitimate
[00:03:43] government and the
[00:03:46] the Saudi program is based, whether in neighboring areas. If the behavior of these
[00:03:47] education, in militias during the last two decades does
[00:03:50] not provide sufficient evidence that there can be no
[00:03:54] peace with them, then let us talk about the ideology
[00:03:57] of these militias and the ideology
[00:04:00] they carry. This ideology is based on the principle that the legitimacy
[00:04:03] of the ruler is based on force, because
[00:04:07] the Imam should appear before the people with a drawn sword.
[00:04:10] This is a creed that cannot be abandoned,
[00:04:14] and they mention that. And there are
[00:04:16] multiple conditions for the ruling Imam among them,
[00:04:20] that he must come out with the sword, meaning that whoever comes through
[00:04:23] the ballot box through the peaceful plan can never be
[00:04:27] a legitimate ruler or achieve his project. Moreover,
[00:04:31] these militias have proven these statements
[00:04:35] they sacrifice and do that they actually embody. They smuggle
[00:04:37] weapons, they use these weapons, they also
[00:04:41] reassemble these weapons, and the Iranians created this
[00:04:45] workshop for reassembling them, pardon me, and they have
[00:04:48] missiles and they have drones. So what
[00:04:52] can convince those who have not been convinced
[00:04:55] until this moment, or even this moment, that these militias
[00:04:59] seek war? If that is the case, and
[00:05:02] this is an internal matter, then let us also take a look at
[00:05:07] world sees that you have moved the outside to see that these militias have targeted
[00:05:09] internally, no external power the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they have targeted navigation routes.
[00:05:12] These militias have laid mines on land
[00:05:15] and at sea. These militias are doing everything
[00:05:18] in their power to
[00:05:22] benefit from international arms smuggling networks.
[00:05:25] They have cooperated with al-Qaeda, they have cooperated with terrorist
[00:05:28] organizations, they have also cooperated with arms dealers
[00:05:32] and with armed groups in the Horn
[00:05:34] of Africa and used small uninhabited Red
[00:05:38] Sea islands to store and transport weapons.
[00:05:41] And the latest Iranian behavior through the Maham
[00:05:44] plane is considered a behavior that no one
[00:05:48] can do except those who
[00:05:51] are accustomed to crime and have no respect
[00:05:55] for the rules of civil aviation, because the use
[00:05:58] of civil aviation in transporting weapons and drones
[00:06:00] is a war crime. And this
[00:06:04] airline, Maham Air, is sanctioned
[00:06:08] because it was previously transporting weapons from Iraq to
[00:06:11] Syria. Therefore, it is subject to American sanctions
[00:06:15] behavior. It made one trip, or
[00:06:18] two trips, or three trips to Sana'a, then
[00:06:22] to Tehran, then to Hodeidah again. These trips were not
[00:06:25] futile. In general, all these
[00:06:28] behaviors indicate that the Houthis can
[00:06:32] never incline towards peace. Yemenis no longer ask, will
[00:06:36] they incline towards peace? Will these militias incline towards peace? That is no longer
[00:06:40] the question. Rather, the question is, what will we do about them? Yes, yes.
[00:06:43] Well, Doctor, in this context, how can we interpret
[00:06:47] the statement, the statement of an official source in Saudi
[00:06:50] Arabia, that there are no negotiations with the Houthi terrorist militia, not
[00:06:54] through Muscat or the Sultanate of Oman or otherwise?
[00:06:57] Also, the formation of the announcement
[00:07:00] of the establishment of the multinational alliance to protect maritime
[00:07:06] countries to it, and the announcement of a commander for this alliance, how can we,
[00:07:09] I mean, read and interpret and read between the lines
[00:07:13] in these data? Of course, my dear brother, the Houthis
[00:07:17] seek by all means to
[00:07:19] spread or create an environment of suspicion
[00:07:23] between the legitimate government, or the legitimate leadership, or legitimacy
[00:07:27] in general, and the Arab Coalition and Saudi
[00:07:31] Arabia. They want to make both parties
[00:07:34] believe that each party is working for itself
[00:07:36] in order to create an atmosphere of confusion, uncertainty,
[00:07:39] and unreliability between
[00:07:43] Saudi Arabia and the leadership of the Arab Coalition and the legitimate
[00:07:47] government. This is suitable for the Houthis because spreading
[00:07:50] these cracks and exporting such
[00:07:53] news helps a lot in undermining
[00:07:57] the morale, as the Houthis
[00:08:00] the ground and the politicians who
[00:08:03] work at the diplomatic and political level,
[00:08:06] as well as the relevant agencies
[00:08:10] of the Arab Coalition. This means that the lack of trust
[00:08:13] between the coalition and the Yemeni government benefits
[00:08:17] them. Therefore, they seek to make people
[00:08:21] believe that they are negotiating
[00:08:24] directly with Saudi Arabia in order for people to think
[00:08:28] that this negotiation is not in favor of the legitimate government. This is one
[00:08:31] point, and the other point is that they want to say
[00:08:34] that they have bypassed the Yemeni leadership and the Yemeni
[00:08:38] government to the Arab Coalition because their narrative is based
[00:08:41] on the idea that their war is with Saudi
[00:08:45] Arabia and not with Yemen
[00:08:48] and Yemenis. Therefore, they are trying to
[00:08:50] move on more than one goal and with more than one means
[00:08:54] and tactic. But of course, there might be,
[00:08:58] perhaps, from time to time,
[00:09:01] some special meetings for prisoners or special meetings
[00:09:04] for certain arrangements, but in matters
[00:09:08] of negotiation that concern
[00:09:11] crucial decisions in Yemen, this is the responsibility of the Yemeni government, and it
[00:09:15] is the one that negotiates on it according to the three references:
[00:09:18] the Gulf Initiative and its executive mechanisms,
[00:09:22] the National Dialogue and its outcomes, as well as the Security
[00:09:26] Council and international resolutions. Yes. Finally, Doctor
[00:09:29] Muhammad, the duty today, the duty of everyone without exception, in this critical
[00:09:33] stage, is also to achieve security
[00:09:36] and stability and protect maritime corridors and protect
[00:09:40] security and stability in the entire region.
[00:09:44] First, before we talk about the duty of others, we must talk about
[00:09:48] our duty. I mean, let us be fair. We should not demand
[00:09:51] from others what we think or say that they
[00:09:55] should do before we demand from ourselves our duties
[00:09:59] towards our people and our country
[00:10:02] and ourselves, our authority and our government. This
[00:10:05] is what should be discussed. What is our duty? What
[00:10:08] do we want? What are the means and mechanisms that can
[00:10:12] achieve what we want and what we aspire to? After that, my
[00:10:15] dear brother, when the
[00:10:21] can stop you if you improve your position
[00:10:25] internally militarily, security-wise, and politically. If you integrate the components
[00:10:28] of legitimacy and stop
[00:10:30] the bickering that was happening, and it has largely stopped, thank God.
[00:10:34] But if we can build on what is currently available
[00:10:38] and move forward in this path security-wise, militarily,
[00:10:41] politically, media-wise, and diplomatically
[00:10:45] with one body, with one system, with one
[00:10:49] goals, with one mechanisms, with one tactics, with a unified
[00:10:53] strategy, then we can
[00:10:55] make a difference internally. Then the outside will only
[00:10:59] bless, because the outside, my dear brother,
[00:11:02] whether the regional outside, there was the Arab
[00:11:05] Coalition. The Arab Coalition, and if we are talking about the international
[00:11:08] community, the international community gave you the mechanism and gave
[00:11:12] you the legislative or legal umbrella
[00:11:16] to fight the battle of restoring the state and reclaiming
[00:11:19] the homeland. What do you want more than international resolutions
[00:11:23] that authorize the Arab Coalition and the Yemeni
[00:11:27] government to use force against these militias? But if
[00:11:30] you want the outside to come and fight for you internally, then here
[00:11:33] lies the mistake. No, you must move. After that, if
[00:11:39] internally, then the outside will not
[00:16:38] The supplier
[00:16:43] needs us to all stand together, you and I,
[00:16:49] to this matter. We
[00:16:51] are all required to do so and are committed
[00:16:56] the issues that should be managed and should
[00:17:00] be brought to your attention is the timeline so that everyone
[00:17:04] is aware of this timeline. We even met
[00:17:07] with the brothers in the Ministry of Hajj, and we have
[00:17:10] ambition and coordination also in solving
[00:17:13] the problems. Last year, God willing,
[00:17:17] we will solve them this year, with God Almighty's help,
[00:17:20] and in us, and also
[00:17:23] the ladders for pilgrims. And we are trying to
[00:17:27] solve the problem the camps. We are trying to solve
[00:17:31] this.
[00:17:34] Yemenis, moving to legitimate areas
[00:17:38] with their brothers as pilgrims, with the same treatment, God
[00:17:42] willing. The legitimate leadership made every effort
[00:17:45] to open airports in areas under Houthi control, but
[00:17:49] unfortunately, amidst the Houthi oppression, they seize
[00:17:52] planes, they expose
[00:17:55] planes to danger, and they expose pilgrims to danger as well.
[00:17:59] So we have no objection if there are
[00:18:02] sufficient guarantees for operating airports, we have no
[00:18:05] objection, but the problem is with the Houthis. Yes,
[00:18:08] the brothers in the Ministry of Hajj
[00:18:11] have, I mean, pre-arrangements
[00:18:14] and advanced preparations. So we must
[00:18:17] keep up with the people. We must strive, I mean,
[00:18:22] the people. We don't want Yemen to be behind other
[00:18:25] countries. So there are arrangements and there are,
[00:18:28] I mean, preparations that must be considered.
[00:18:32] Yes, we have directed the brothers in the sector
[00:18:35] to reduce everything possible.
[00:18:45] You know, with, I mean,
[00:18:48] the rising prices of cars, which are buses, or
[00:18:51] tickets, or accommodation, are beyond the ministry's control,
[00:18:54] but we, God willing, will do everything possible
[00:18:58] to reduce the cost for
[00:19:00] the pilgrim.
[00:21:10] The Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen invites you to our technical
[00:21:13] workshop to support infrastructure development projects and improve the level
[00:21:17] of public service delivery, which
[00:21:20] represents a practical platform for exchanging visions and identifying
[00:21:23] priorities, leading to more impactful and sustainable development
[00:21:26] projects that contribute to developing infrastructure and improving the level of public
[00:21:30] services in Abyan Governorate. Distinguished attendees,
[00:21:34] true development begins with understanding the need on the ground and cooperating
[00:21:37] in building effective partnerships, which is the approach that the program
[00:21:41] works on in various Yemeni governorates. In
[00:21:44] Abyan, the program has provided projects and initiatives that covered
[00:21:47] a number of essential and vital sectors, including the use
[00:21:50] of renewable energy to support water and food security, and the establishment
[00:21:54] and equipping of the Alawi Mablagh Ithana
[00:21:59] regard, I find it an opportunity to mention that the construction
[00:22:02] work in the Sabah Hospital project
[00:22:05] is nearing completion, in preparation for enhancing access to medical
[00:22:09] services and meeting the needs of the local community in a mountainous
[00:22:12] area suffering from a lack of health services. The hospital
[00:22:16] includes rooms for hospitalization, operations, emergency, clinics, and specialized
[00:22:19] departments, in addition to being equipped with the necessary
[00:22:23] medical devices and equipment, which contributes to improving the quality of health
[00:22:26] care and raising the level of medical services in the governorate.
[00:22:29] Distinguished attendees, these efforts
[00:22:32] fall within the program's vision, which resulted
[00:22:36] in the implementation of 300 projects and initiatives, some of which have been implemented
[00:22:39] and some of which are under implementation in various Yemeni governorates
[00:22:42] in partnership with the Yemeni government and local authorities, and in a way that enhances
[00:22:46] the development and reconstruction process. Finally, we look forward to
[00:22:50] this workshop leading to practical outcomes that contribute to directing efforts in a way
[00:22:54] that serves development priorities and enhances integration
[00:22:58] among various parties in a way that achieves a tangible
[00:23:01] and sustainable impact for the people of the governorate. Peace, mercy,
[00:23:04] and blessings of God be upon you. And upon you be peace. Thank God. After, by the grace of God Almighty,
[00:23:08] today we finished a workshop
[00:23:10] for developing and advancing
[00:23:14] service projects in Abyan governorate
[00:23:18] our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi
[00:23:22] Program for the Development and Reconstruction
[00:23:25] of Yemen. These projects in several
[00:23:28] service sectors will give a sustainable
[00:23:31] developmental renaissance in Abyan governorate
[00:23:34] with the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Projects were discussed
[00:23:38] in several sectors: electricity, education,
[00:23:42] health, roads, and water.
[00:23:45] God willing, this discussion
[00:23:48] of projects, God willing, will be approved, God
[00:23:52] willing, by our brothers in Saudi
[00:24:21] We are happy today to be in Abyan governorate to hold
[00:24:25] a workshop to discuss the basic needs
[00:24:28] for development projects in the governorate. By the grace of God,
[00:24:31] the discussion covered the needs of the eight sectors on which
[00:24:37] health, in agriculture and fisheries, in the energy
[00:24:41] sector, and also in the transport sector. The projects
[00:24:44] that were discussed will have a positive
[00:24:47] and tangible impact on the lives of citizens in Abyan Governorate.
[00:25:30] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, on behalf of the member of the Presidential
[00:25:33] Council, the Governor of Marib Governorate, Major General Sultan bin Ali
[00:25:37] Al-Aradah, today he launched three
[00:25:40] projects provided by UNICEF, two projects
[00:25:43] inside Marib city in Al-Rawda
[00:25:46] Saba neighborhood and in the community college,
[00:25:51] and the other project in Wadi District
[00:25:53] for rural water
[00:25:56] for Al-Ajar. These projects cost
[00:26:00] approximately 600.
[00:26:05] Provided by UNICEF,
[00:26:08] which in fact has been alongside the governorate from the very beginning in
[00:26:11] providing projects in the areas of water, sanitation,
[00:26:15] and rural water.
[00:26:18] emergency response from time to time in providing
[00:26:22] water tanks. These projects are developmental
[00:26:25] and sustainable projects that will benefit
[00:26:29] the citizens, which today I emphasize the keenness
[00:26:35] part of the
[00:26:38] preserving these sustainable projects, whether through
[00:26:41] their maintenance and also
[00:26:44] the community's participation. Important participation because they realize that these
[00:26:48] projects are part of them and the future
[00:26:51] of their children, and also for the areas
[00:26:55] that citizens benefit from
[00:26:58] in this region. I can only thank the brother member
[00:27:02] of the Presidential Council for his efforts in development in the governorate.
[00:27:05] I also thank the brother Minister
[00:27:08] of Water for these projects. I also
[00:27:12] thank UNICEF for its continuous
[00:27:14] and decisive support for Marib governorate
[00:27:17] since the beginning of the ominous coup
[00:27:20] by the Houthi terrorist militias supported
[00:27:23] by Iran. Marib was a haven,
[00:27:27] and our friends were by our side in alleviating
[00:27:30] the suffering of the displaced.
[00:28:07] Yemen Channel is the channel
[00:28:10] of all Yemenis.
[00:28:13] Therefore, I call upon all our people,
[00:28:15] the proud Yemeni
[00:28:19] tribes, the national forces, the youth,
[00:28:21] women, and all free people to
[00:28:24] rally around the armed forces and all
[00:28:27] military formations
[00:28:30] and security
[00:28:33] agencies and support them to perform
[00:28:36] their national duty in protecting
[00:28:38] the republic
[00:28:43] and preserving sovereignty and restoring state
[00:28:47] and ending this coup that has brought nothing but destruction and ruin to Yemen.
