[00:00:00] and military and on Yemen's international reputation
[00:00:02] These militias have laid mines on and on navigation lines. But this is not the question. The question
[00:00:06] is what the other party is doing. This other party
[00:00:09] is the legitimate leadership, the legitimate government and legitimacy in
[00:00:12] general, as well as what is required from the international
[00:00:16] The truth on and regional community. This is the question that should be raised
[00:00:19] before us in
[00:00:21] Make the truth on legitimacy and before the region because this
[00:00:24] militia does not come up with anything new when it targets
[00:00:27] Yemenis inside or when it targets maritime navigation lines
[00:00:31] and it also targets neighboring
[00:00:34] countries, and this is its custom and its nature, and it does not
[00:00:38] deny that, but rather boasts about it, and it was previously
[00:00:42] perhaps hiding
[00:00:46] its loyalty or its strong relationship or its affiliation
[00:00:49] to Iran, but today it boasts and the Yemeni
[00:00:52] people all know,
[00:00:55] Indeed, you are on the right and the Arabs, that it is an Iranian arm in Yemen and an advanced detachment of the Revolutionary Guards in the country.
[00:01:00] But I believe that such events
[00:01:04] at a time when Yemenis are waiting for us
[00:01:07] to take the firm military stance against these
[00:01:10] militias, after
[00:01:14] you prove your strength and ability we have reached a reasonable military level in confronting these militias, after they have united
[00:01:17] or at least there were unified operations
[00:01:21] for all military and security
[00:01:23] sectors. Yemenis are waiting
[00:01:27] Make the truth on for a military action, let's say,
[00:01:30] in return. There must be
[00:01:32] Let the truth on a military action to deter these militias inside, in coordination, of course,
[00:01:35] with the leadership of the Arab Coalition
[00:01:38] and with the international community. If the situation remains as
[00:01:42] it is, then the international community will only
[00:01:45] denounce it, and we will not get anything in this case, in the Yemeni case, we will not
[00:01:49] find denunciation. Why?
[00:01:53] security and the accession of a number of Because the international
[00:01:55] pressure, unfortunately, does not want to use harsh language with these
[00:01:58] militias. It has what it thinks are
[00:02:02] justifications because it does not want to lose communication with them, and these are
[00:02:07] its glory, which is not weak justifications, because one of its tasks is to present the International
[00:02:09] Security Council with a clear and unambiguous picture
[00:02:13] of the course of events
[00:02:16] glory that is not and the crimes committed by these militias against Yemenis and outside
[00:02:20] Yemen against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in
[00:02:23] particular against maritime
[00:02:25] Let us make the truth on navigation. Yes, I mean, you are saying today, Doctor, that all political
[00:02:28] cards have fallen. It is no
[00:02:30] Let us make the truth on longer, I mean, the Presidential a set of Leadership Council no longer
[00:02:33] has any option, and even the Yemenis no longer have any option but one
[00:02:37] option, which is the option of getting rid of this terrorist
[00:02:40] militia. I mean, to what
[00:02:43] us. Make the truth on extent do you think the regional and even international situations are suitable
[00:02:49] Make the truth on of the fighters on for this decisive action? that this tragic I mean, when you talk about the internal situation,
[00:02:52] there have been agreements since
[00:02:54] weapons over 2004 until this moment with
[00:02:56] the Houthis. If anyone who defends the Houthis
[00:03:00] and their desire for peace can do that, let them come up with
[00:03:04] the state and eliminate one agreement that the Houthis have adhered
[00:03:07] to. If that is not enough to
[00:03:11] prove that the path of a peaceful political solution has reached
[00:03:14] a dead end or a stalemate, unfortunately, then anyone
[00:03:18] who realizes this fact, that this political path has reached a dead
[00:03:22] end, must reconsider himself. Moreover, during
[00:03:25] the past years, these militias have not hesitated to
[00:03:29] use all types of weapons, politically,
[00:03:32] economically, media-wise, and propagandistically,
[00:03:36] based on as well as militarily, in order to assert their control over
[00:03:39] the areas they control and to attack the areas of the legitimate
[00:03:43] government and the neighboring countries. If the behavior of these
[00:03:46] militias during the last two decades does
[00:03:49] not provide sufficient evidence that there can
[00:03:53] be no peace with them, then let us talk about the ideology
[00:03:57] of these militias and the doctrine that guides them. They
[00:04:01] are based on the principle that the legitimacy of the ruler
[00:04:05] make the truth on is based on force, because the Imam must come out to the people
[00:04:08] brandishing a sword.
[00:04:10] Make the truth on This is a doctrine that cannot be abandoned,
[00:04:13] and they mention that. There are
[00:04:16] multiple conditions for the ruling Imam among them,
[00:04:20] including coming out with a sword, meaning that whoever comes through
[00:04:23] the ballot box through peaceful means can never
[00:04:26] be a legitimate ruler or gain his legitimacy. Furthermore,
[00:04:30] these militias have demonstrated these sayings
[00:04:34] that they propagate. In reality, they smuggle
[00:04:37] weapons, they use these weapons, they also
[00:04:41] reassemble these weapons, and the Iranians created
[00:04:44] these necessary parts for reassembly, sorry, reassembly,
[00:04:48] and they have missiles and they have drones. I mean, what
[00:04:51] can convince those who have not been convinced
[00:04:55] until this moment, or even up to this moment, that these militias
[00:04:58] seek war? Uh-huh. If that is the case, and this
[00:05:02] is a domestic matter, then let us also cast a glance at
[00:05:05] the outside to see that these
[00:05:07] the world sees that you have militias have targeted Saudi Arabia, they have targeted
[00:05:10] maritime navigation routes.
[00:05:14] land and sea. These militias have exerted all their
[00:05:18] efforts in
[00:05:20] order to benefit from international
[00:05:24] arms smuggling networks. They cooperated with Al-Qaeda,
[00:05:26] they cooperated with terrorist organizations, they also
[00:05:29] cooperated with arms dealers and with armed
[00:05:32] gangs in the Horn of Africa and used
[00:05:35] the small and uninhabited Red Sea islands to store
[00:05:38] and transport weapons.
[00:05:42] And the last Iranian behavior through a mission aircraft, I mean,
[00:05:45] is a behavior that cannot ever be
[00:05:49] carried out except by someone who is accustomed to criminality
[00:05:52] and has no respect whatsoever for civil air navigation
[00:05:56] rules, because using civil aviation to transport weapons
[00:05:59] and drones is considered a war crime,
[00:06:03] and this airline, Mahan Air,
[00:06:06] is sanctioned because it previously
[00:06:09] transported weapons from Iraq to Syria, and therefore it received
[00:06:12] American sanctions because of this behavior. It
[00:06:16] made one or two flights,
[00:06:19] or three flights, to Sana'a then to Tehran then to Hodeidah again.
[00:06:23] These flights were not in vain. In other words,
[00:06:26] in general, all these actions indicate
[00:06:30] and point to the fact that the Houthis can never incline towards peace.
[00:06:34] Yemenis no longer ask, "Will they incline towards peace? Will these
[00:06:37] militias incline towards peace?" This is no longer the question. Rather, the question is, "What will we
[00:06:41] do?" Yes. Yes. Okay, Doctor, in this context,
[00:06:44] how can we interpret the statement by an official
[00:06:48] source in Saudi Arabia that there are no negotiations
[00:06:52] with the Houthi terrorist militia, neither through Muscat nor the Sultanate
[00:06:55] of Oman or elsewhere? Also,
[00:06:59] the announcement of the formation of a multinational
[00:07:02] coalition to protect maritime
[00:07:05] countries to it, and also the announcement of a commander for this coalition. How can we
[00:07:09] interpret and read between the lines in these
[00:07:12] facts? Of course, my dear brother, the Houthis
[00:07:16] seek by all means to
[00:07:19] spread or create an environment of doubt between
[00:07:23] the legitimate government or the legitimate leadership or legitimacy in
[00:07:26] general and the Arab Coalition and Saudi
[00:07:29] Arabia. They want to make both parties believe
[00:07:33] that each party is working for its own account
[00:07:36] in order to create an atmosphere of confusion and uncertainty
[00:07:39] and distrust between
[00:07:43] Saudi Arabia and the leadership of the Arab Coalition and the legitimate
[00:07:46] government. This is suitable for the Houthis because spreading these
[00:07:50] cracks and exporting such
[00:07:53] news helps a lot in destroying
[00:07:56] the morale, as the Houthis imagine,
[00:08:00] the ground and the politicians who
[00:08:03] work at the diplomatic and political levels,
[00:08:06] as well as the relevant agencies
[00:08:09] of the Arab Coalition. In other words, spreading distrust
[00:08:13] between the coalition and the Yemeni government serves
[00:08:16] two purposes. Therefore, they seek to make them believe
[00:08:20] that they are negotiating
[00:08:24] directly with Saudi Arabia in order to make them think
[00:08:27] that this negotiation is not in the interest of the legitimate government. This
[00:08:31] is one point. The other point is that they want to say
[00:08:34] that they have bypassed the Yemeni leadership and the Yemeni
[00:08:37] government to the Arab Coalition because their narrative is based
[00:08:41] on the premise that their war is with Saudi
[00:08:44] Arabia and not with Yemen
[00:08:47] and the Yemenis. Therefore, they are trying to
[00:08:49] move on more than one goal and with more than
[00:08:53] one means and tactic. However, naturally,
[00:08:56] there may be some private meetings
[00:08:59] from time to time regarding prisoners
[00:09:02] or special meetings regarding certain arrangements,
[00:09:05] but in matters of negotiation that
[00:09:09] concern crucial decisions in Yemen, this
[00:09:12] is referred to the Yemeni government, and it is the one that negotiates on them according
[00:09:16] to the three references: the GCC Initiative
[00:09:20] and its executive mechanisms, the National Dialogue and its outcomes,
[00:09:23] as well as the Security Council and international resolutions. Yes.
[00:09:27] Okay, finally, Dr. Mohammed, what is the duty today, the duty of everyone
[00:09:30] without exception, at this critical stage, in order
[00:09:34] to also achieve security and stability
[00:09:38] and protect maritime routes and protect security and stability in the entire
[00:09:41] region?
[00:09:43] First, before talking about the duty of others, we must talk about
[00:09:47] our duty. I mean, let's be fair. We should not
[00:09:50] demand from others what we think or say
[00:09:54] they should do before we demand from ourselves our duties
[00:09:58] towards our people, and towards our country, and towards
[00:10:01] 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
[00:10:11] can achieve what we want and what
[00:10:14] we aspire to? After that, my dear brother, when
[00:10:19] moved internally, no external force can stop
[00:10:23] you. If you improve your internal position militarily,
[00:10:27] security-wise, and politically, if the components of legitimacy unite
[00:10:30] and stop the squabbles that were happening, and they have largely stopped, praise be to 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,
[00:10:40] politically, media-wise,
[00:10:42] and diplomatically, with one
[00:10:45] body, with one system, with one
[00:10:48] set of goals, with one set of mechanisms,
[00:10:51] with one strategy, then we can make
[00:10:54] a difference internally. Then the outside
[00:10:57] will only applaud, because the outside,
[00:11:01] my dear brother, whether it is the regional outside, there was the Arab
[00:11:04] Coalition, and if we are talking about the international
[00:11:08] community, the international community gave you the mechanism or gave
[00:11:12] you the legislative or legitimate umbrella
[00:11:16] to fight the battle of restoring the state and restoring
[00:11:19] the homeland. What more do you want than international resolutions
[00:11:23] that authorize the Arab Coalition and the Yemeni government
[00:11:26] to use force against these militias? But if
[00:11:29] you want the outside to come and fight for you internally, then here
[00:11:33] lies the mistake. You have to move. After that, if
[00:11:39] internally, then the outside will not hinder
[00:11:41] what you are doing. Clear. Yes, clear, Dr. Mohammed
[00:11:45] Jumeih, our country's ambassador to UNESCO. You were with us via
[00:11:48] phone. Thank you very much. And thank you too, dear viewers, for your kind
[00:11:52] follow-up and for our meeting. Goodbye. May you and the homeland
[00:11:55] remain safe. Goodbye.
[00:12:55] After long years of war, suffering,
[00:12:57] starvation, and oppression,
[00:13:01] and after
[00:13:04] the recent events have reinforced, beyond any doubt,
[00:13:09] situation was not an inevitable
[00:13:12] fate, but rather a direct result
[00:13:15] of the coup of a terrorist militia that chose
[00:13:19] the state
[00:13:22] and sectarianism over citizenship, and prioritized the interests
[00:13:25] of the Iranian regime over the interests of our Yemeni
[00:13:28] people. Our people have been patient
[00:13:30] for a long time, patient with the قطع
[00:13:34] of salaries, the collapse of services, the destruction
[00:13:38] of the economy, the displacement of millions, the loss of loved ones,
[00:13:41] and years of fear,
[00:13:45] oppression, humiliation, killing,
[00:13:47] and persecution. And this suffering was not
[00:13:51] the result of an alleged siege,
[00:13:55] as the rogue militias propagate, but rather
[00:13:58] it was the fruit of a project war and on
[00:14:02] exploiting the pain of Yemenis and remaining
[00:14:05] in power over them by force of arms.
[00:28:19] The Houthi terrorist militias are beholden to Iranian
[00:28:23] interests at the expense of the Yemeni people's
[00:28:26] interests. On the military level, we have taken
[00:28:30] measures. A quick answer
[00:28:34] that we are in a state of high
[00:28:37] readiness to face all challenges.
[00:28:41] Our battle in the liberated communities and in the governorates is
[00:28:44] confidence. How do we enhance confidence between citizens
[00:28:48] and the state? We noticed that whenever a peace
[00:28:51] initiative or a truce appeared,
[00:28:55] some began to act as if the state had been defeated. The lesson is in the results.
[00:28:59] I tell you, the lesson is in the results. Today,
[00:29:03] our strategy is to restore
[00:29:06] the coup project supported by the Iranian regime
[00:29:10] and liberate the remaining governorates. This is a strategy.
