[00:00:00] The Arab coalition returned to the issue of self-defense, but
[00:00:03] in an advanced way in terms of defending Yemen
[00:00:07] and defending the homeland, occupation, aggression, and so
[00:00:10] on. The Gaza war came, so they used Palestine,
[00:00:13] Gaza, support, the axis, the resistance,
[00:00:18] the plains and in front of and all these terms, they naturally use them, and they resonate with
[00:00:21] the other who is unaware of this group.
[00:00:24] When we want to confront these slogans or when
[00:00:28] we want to the truth of this group, we should not
[00:00:31] waste our time
[00:00:35] does the international community not in saying that the Houthis
[00:00:38] are not a resistance front. We only need to highlight this group
[00:00:42] as it is, and the message will reach when
[00:00:46] we convey to the other, the Palestinian, for example,
[00:00:49] who boasts, or some of his factions boast about the Houthis.
[00:00:53] We convey to them a part of the suffering of Yemenis under Houthi rule:
[00:00:56] prisons, detention centers, torture, those who
[00:01:00] lost their sight, lost their limbs, those who came out paralyzed,
[00:01:04] those who came out killed, imprisoned
[00:01:06] with a different scenario on by the Houthis, bombing homes,
[00:01:11] and his right to with the Houthi problem in land grabbing. All the Iranian presence in these are practiced by the Israeli occupation in
[00:01:14] Palestine, and they are also practiced by the Houthis. So, when we highlight this group
[00:01:18] and influence in the region as it is, we are thwarting its propaganda, but we must
[00:01:21] convey the voice and not despair and not surrender to the attack.
[00:01:26] militia can still play this They certainly have supporters in Lebanon, in yes, Doctor, I want to ask you,
[00:01:31] and you are perhaps our ambassador in UNESCO specifically,
[00:01:35] or a kind of meaning among the French or even the British, Europeans in general, what
[00:01:40] is a kind of is their understanding of the group, what is their understanding of this war that
[00:01:44] has been going on for more than 12 years?
[00:01:47] happened. There is real pressure on How do they define it, how do they understand it
[00:01:51] also?
[00:01:53] Of course,
[00:01:57] international community comes to it and says, "Enter for Europeans, they were not stage of entering very interested in the Houthis
[00:02:00] and what is happening in Yemen.
[00:02:03] and all this Perhaps the Americans were more interested at one point, but
[00:02:07] is that the Houthi militia understands the Europeans, after
[00:02:10] are increasing this matter. Iran understands the nature the Stockholm Agreement, which was pressured by international powers, Britain
[00:02:13] and America, then a Security Council resolution
[00:02:16] was issued after that regarding this
[00:02:18] agreement. The Houthis went to expand,
[00:02:22] and this was the beginning
[00:02:25] from the tyrannical of perhaps the European realization of the danger of this group,
[00:02:27] a state, because in because when the Houthis
[00:02:31] were assured that the war in Hodeidah would not resume with this
[00:02:34] agreement, they went to attack Al-Jawf, Marib,
[00:02:37] Al-Bayda, and Al-Dhalea, and they went to
[00:02:40] Shabwah, and it became clear to some Europeans
[00:02:43] that this group
[00:02:45] and this is a group that seeks war and is not, as
[00:02:48] it claims, oppressed, wronged, and a marginalized
[00:02:51] minority. It is a minority, true, but it is a dictatorial
[00:02:54] minority, an authoritarian minority,
[00:02:57] and a rebellious minority. The realization began. Frankly,
[00:03:01] a number of European ambassadors to Yemen played the biggest role,
[00:03:04] in my opinion, in clarifying the truth of this group. The French ambassadors
[00:03:09] the winner this Jean Safa, who
[00:03:11] other force. And that is why preceded Ambassador Catherine,
[00:03:14] who
[00:03:16] alongside a constellation of also ended her term of service or whose term of service ended
[00:03:20] militia's refusal to and she is leaving the country,
[00:03:23] both played a major role in clarifying the truth of this group.
[00:03:26] Also, the actions of this group in the Red Sea
[00:03:30] and the acts of piracy and targeting
[00:03:32] of maritime navigation that it carried out
[00:03:36] all made the European, who is closely connected
[00:03:41] will bear fruit to his interests, realize
[00:03:43] in the near future, will bear fruit that he made a mistake by blessing the Stockholm Agreement and enabling these militias
[00:03:46] to control the port of Hodeidah, through which
[00:03:50] they were able to import the rockets
[00:03:53] needed to target maritime navigation and smuggle
[00:03:56] them from Iran. Consequently,
[00:04:00] the European citizen in France
[00:04:03] is affected today.
[00:04:05] the international community wants and that many There are discussions taking place in the French Parliament about this group
[00:04:08] today. French press and French
[00:04:11] media used to talk about a war in Yemen that they would pass
[00:04:15] over lightly, but today
[00:04:18] they are talking about the effects of this war, not only on
[00:04:21] Yemen and Yemenis, and not only on
[00:04:23] supplies that are not Saudis and Arabs, but the effects of this war
[00:04:26] and the effects of controlling the port of Al-Mukha
[00:04:28] Britain have some on the French. The ordinary citizen, why? Because that
[00:04:32] will affect energy supply lines of oil, gas,
[00:04:36] and others, and therefore, all aspects of economic
[00:04:39] life in France and European countries will be affected, which directly touches
[00:04:42] the food security of the European citizen. Yes, I will come back to you, Dr. Muhammad, please
[00:04:46] stay with me, Dr. Fares, if this understanding, as Dr.
[00:04:50] Muhammad Jumaih says, has reached the Europeans
[00:04:53] and they have this conviction. There is perhaps another
[00:04:56] opinion, the Americans, despite the confrontations that have taken place,
[00:05:00] they are still meeting, as some news says, with the Houthis in
[00:05:03] Muscat. There are those
[00:05:05] Aden, but they failed to who talk about China also opening communication
[00:05:08] lines with the Houthi group or having contacts with this,
[00:05:12] as some media sites have reported, or as experts talk about, and that there are
[00:05:16] perhaps channels of communication among them. Has this
[00:05:19] conviction not reached them, or is there perhaps
[00:05:22] playing with other political cards? First, I
[00:05:25] confirm what Dr. Muhammad said about the issue that
[00:05:29] the Houthi militia has a huge record of crimes
[00:05:33] and violations, enough to show its true nature to
[00:05:36] the world without delving into the details that were set
[00:05:39] as traps. Yes, regarding social awareness
[00:05:43] and even messages to the international community, this issue is included:
[00:05:48] understand the nature of the Houthi militia? It understands. Does it not know its danger? It knows
[00:05:51] its danger completely and knows all the
[00:05:55] problems surrounding the Houthi militia, but it is dealing with it now
[00:05:58] as a political card, a card for pressure.
[00:06:02] Indeed, during the past two years, since
[00:06:05] the war on Iran began, there was a definite desire to expel Iranian
[00:06:09] influence from the region. Yes, and this is evident
[00:06:13] in expelling Hezbollah, expelling influence from
[00:06:16] Syria, the huge pressure
[00:06:21] Iraq, and dealing
[00:06:24] Yemen. But there are still desires within the framework of
[00:06:27] the equation of conflict
[00:06:31] to pressure the countries of the region, specifically Saudi
[00:06:34] Arabia, to achieve goals, and the Houthi
[00:06:39] role. It is played with in this matter. Therefore, notice
[00:06:43] how it reached the Bab al-Mandeb Strait without any global concern
[00:06:48] major powers. True, it expressed concern, but there
[00:06:52] satisfaction or dealing with the problem as something that can
[00:06:56] be benefited from, and this is what
[00:07:00] Saudi Arabia clearly
[00:07:03] to reach the
[00:07:07] the Abrahamic Accords, against protection and so
[00:07:11] on, and... Therefore, the Houthi militia card
[00:07:14] is used in this matter, and the other problem
[00:07:22] of this dealing, and therefore uses it more to achieve conditions
[00:07:25] and negotiations and important strategic
[00:07:28] influence within the framework of what benefits or is benefited
[00:07:32] by countries. How do the Chinese and Russians deal with this
[00:07:36] development? They deal with it in return, in confrontation
[00:07:40] with American and Western influence in the region,
[00:07:43] and they believe that the Houthi militia
[00:07:47] can achieve this for them, and therefore there was cooperation and there
[00:07:51] was a kind of supply to the Houthi militia
[00:07:54] with some technologies and so on in its war. Yes,
[00:07:58] extends to Iran. The Houthi militia, note that the scenario
[00:08:01] is exactly similar to the scenario of the Houthi militia entering Sanaa. When
[00:08:05] it entered Sanaa, there were parties who believed that the Houthi
[00:08:08] militia would achieve its desire against its enemies, so they approached it.
[00:08:12] And other parties believed that the Houthi militia would be
[00:08:16] capable of... And so the Houthi militia is now being dealt
[00:08:20] with by both Western and Eastern parties. Yes,
[00:08:23] yes, I will come back to you, Dr. Muhammad, Doctor, there is
[00:08:26] another position we read about, perhaps yesterday
[00:08:30] or the day before yesterday, I saw some news saying that the Italians
[00:08:34] decided to send their fleets to the Red Sea to protect
[00:08:38] the route in Bab al-Mandeb. Is it a special position for Italy, first
[00:08:41] if this step is true, a special position for Italy, or will
[00:08:45] Europeans in general follow suit?
[00:08:48] Is the question for me? Yes.
[00:08:51] Of course, Europeans are experiencing
[00:08:55] a state of terror regarding
[00:08:59] energy. They have an energy phobia because Europe has no energy. Europe's
[00:09:03] energy comes from outside. They have a problem because of
[00:09:06] the Russian- Ukrainian war
[00:09:09] and the lack of continuity
[00:09:13] of Russian gas flows and the search for
[00:09:15] alternatives. They also have problems
[00:09:18] with North Africa, and therefore,
[00:09:22] European energy supplies
[00:09:25] are at risk at any moment, and this causes great
[00:09:28] concern because Europe relies for its food
[00:09:31] security, before anything else, before industry and other things, on energy
[00:09:36] available in Europe, although some European countries like
[00:09:41] reserves, but I believe
[00:09:44] that Europeans are concerned
[00:09:47] with securing Bab al-Mandeb,
[00:09:50] and this is a historical issue for Bab al-Mandeb and Europe. The
[00:09:54] Portuguese reached this region, and there were
[00:09:57] well-known historical battles
[00:10:00] between the Portuguese and the Ottomans, and it is well-known
[00:10:03] that the Imams were the ones who invited the Portuguese, and they were the ones who
[00:10:06] caused the Portuguese intervention that tried to seize
[00:10:10] Al-Mukha, and then after that, they controlled the island
[00:10:14] of Mayun and controlled Bab al-Mandeb, and after that, they tried to control
[00:10:18] control it, then they returned to it for a short period, then left it
[00:10:21] due to being expelled by the Ottomans. All this is history. But
[00:10:25] history repeats itself because Europe, which
[00:10:28] tried to avoid
[00:10:32] global trade routes that passed through Ottoman
[00:10:35] lands, which were controlled by the Ottomans, they were
[00:10:38] an empire, meaning they controlled the Arabian Peninsula
[00:10:41] and most of Yemen, and they controlled some of North
[00:10:44] Africa. So the Europeans wanted, and the Portuguese
[00:10:47] specifically, to avoid passing through Bab al-Mandeb,
[00:10:50] and therefore the Cape of Good Hope route was discovered, and from here the
[00:10:53] Portuguese came to Bab al-Mandeb to secure the movement
[00:10:57] or to make ships flee from Bab al-Mandeb and redirect
[00:11:01] international shipping lanes to the Cape of Good Hope and then go
[00:11:05] to Europe. Today is the same as yesterday. Europe is in a state
[00:11:08] of concern. I believe that European countries are also monitoring the problems
[00:11:12] here, that the Americans
[00:11:15] and Europeans feel that they are indifferent. Of course, the Americans now have
[00:11:18] self-sufficiency, and in fact, they export American
[00:11:21] energy and shale oil, and therefore they are not
[00:11:24] very concerned about what is happening. Perhaps they also want, as
[00:11:27] Professor Fares said, to pressure Saudi
[00:11:31] Arabia to enter into certain
[00:11:35] agreements with the Israeli occupation, and therefore they were perhaps
[00:11:38] satisfied with what happened or not directly affected
[00:11:42] by what happened in Al-Mukha. Yes, thank you very much, Dr. Muhammad Jumaih, Ambassador
[00:11:45] of our country to UNESCO. You were with me via phone. Thank you
[00:11:49] and I will return to the topic of the episode.
[00:11:52] The Houthi militia says that these recent confrontations came
[00:11:56] as a result of frustrating the road map. It
[00:11:59] says that the one who frustrated the road map is Saudi
[00:12:03] Arabia, specifically, who frustrated the road map. The Houthi militia easily
[00:12:06] because the Houthi militia, in all
[00:12:09] cases, is not required to transform into a political entity for
[00:12:13] the Iranian regime. Meaning, the nature of the Houthi militia, logically,
[00:12:16] logically, it is a rebellious
[00:12:18] group. Suddenly, the
[00:12:22] into legitimacy." It becomes recognized. And it takes half of the government
[00:12:26] and it takes,
[00:12:28] record of crimes disappears. It is natural to accept. Yes, it is natural,
[00:12:32] but imagine all these opportunities, and the Houthi militia
[00:12:36] refuses, not because it refuses. The decision is with Iran,
[00:12:39] because Iran wants it to remain a military tool. If it transformed
[00:12:43] into a political entity, Iran's investment
[00:12:45] in the Houthi militia would end. What more does it want from it? It does not
[00:12:49] want to rule
[00:12:52] the end, the Iranian regime wants everyone to be in a state
[00:12:56] that remains a state, but does not bear
[00:12:59] direct responsibility, does not bear responsibility for the economy, does not bear responsibility for services
[00:13:02] for the people, and does not bear anything. But it remains a ready
[00:13:06] military force to move, because if it became
[00:13:09] a state, it would be bound by international norms, it would be bound by international
[00:13:13] conventions, it would be considered a state with which the international community deals according
[00:13:17] to international relations, but it wants it to be an isolated entity. And that explains the nature
[00:13:21] of Iran's unwillingness for the Houthi militia
[00:13:24] to transform into a political entity, because it would die as a political entity.
[00:13:27] That means surrendering weapons. A political entity means transforming into a political
[00:13:31] party. A political entity means becoming a political force like any
[00:13:36] it insisted on this basis, and this explains
[00:13:39] the distant and underlying
[00:13:42] reason for the Houthi
[00:13:45] enter into Geneva, or Berlin, or Kuwait, or even the last
[00:13:49] roadmap. Yes, I have reached the conclusion, Dr. Fares. I want to
[00:13:52] ask only about the outcome of these recent events. Where might it end, and where might the
[00:13:56] scene go? What might draw the curtain or raise the curtain
[00:14:00] on what? There are several scenarios. Either
[00:14:03] a settlement will be imposed, because the problem is no longer a Yemeni-Yemeni
[00:14:06] problem. We are talking about a regional problem, an international
[00:14:10] problem, and the Houthi militia's arrival at the Bab
[00:14:13] al-Mandeb Strait entails several possibilities and several interventions
[00:14:17] for the international community. First, there must be real
[00:14:20] support or real movement with or without it from the legitimate
[00:14:24] government, because the situation is cutting off all paths
[00:14:27] for all the equations and intersections that
[00:14:30] powers want, and this is a probable and important scenario
[00:14:33] to happen, or there could be a temporary settlement. There will not
[00:14:37] be a permanent settlement, a temporary settlement, or
[00:14:39] the situation remaining as it is, with
[00:14:43] Houthi militia control. Perhaps the Houthi militia will expand
[00:14:46] further, and there is another scenario, which is that the Houthi militia
[00:14:50] goes, we do not want it, to control new areas and impose
[00:14:54] a fait accompli that may differ for years. In all cases, we are
[00:14:57] with there being real movement by Yemenis,
[00:15:01] by the legitimate government, to mobilize all its tools, because this is
[00:15:04] the last battle for the Houthi militia, and
[00:15:07] it should not be allowed for Yemen to remain
[00:15:10] a hostage to these equations and a hostage to these extortions
[00:15:14] that are happening, and Yemeni geography has transformed
[00:15:16] into a geography of conflict. Yes, and Yemenis are dying
[00:15:20] within this geography while the Houthi militia and the major
[00:15:24] powers benefit from this conflict.
[00:15:27] Thank you very much, Dr. Fares Al-Bayar, head of the Yemeni Future Center for Strategic
[00:15:30] Studies. Thank you to you, our dear viewers. May you
[00:15:34] be well and in God's care.
[00:16:27] Yemen Channel, the channel of all
[00:16:29] Yemenis.
[00:19:07] Suicide. Look at this plane
[00:19:10] and this electric shocker
[00:19:14] and this explosive material.
[00:19:17] This
[00:19:20] is the enemy's missile.
[00:20:25] Welcome to the eastern front of Al-Balagh.
[00:20:29] The enemy, Al-Boukthi,
[00:20:32] had been preparing for this battle.
[00:20:35] We were closely monitoring
[00:20:38] all movements, all changes,
[00:20:40] and events in front of us.
[00:20:43] And by the grace of God,
[00:20:45] then by the grace of the men, we were able
[00:20:49] to lure the Houthi borders into kill
[00:20:52] zones until we managed to kill
[00:20:55] dozens, even hundreds,
[00:20:59] of their fighters, and similar numbers
[00:21:02] of wounded. They turned their backs
[00:21:05] and left their bodies scattered in
[00:21:08] schools. They could not cross
[00:21:11] a single one of the eastern
[00:21:14] areas.
[00:21:18] And their use of drones,
[00:21:21] missiles, artillery shells,
[00:21:25] and snipers, all the methods
[00:21:27] used by the Iranian Houthi militia. And this
[00:21:31] is a functioning
[00:21:32] aircraft,
[00:21:37] and it did not hit a single individual. This is by the grace of Almighty
[00:21:41] Allah and by the good preparation
[00:21:44] of the heroes
[00:21:45] of Al-Mashrabshah,
[00:21:49] who confront a fighting soldier who carries
[00:21:52] a true ideology stemming
[00:21:56] from his just cause
[00:22:01] defend his land and Yemen. And God willing,
[00:22:05] the days will come when we will fully
[00:22:08] prepare. We will not leave a single
[00:22:12] speck of dust or grain of sand for the Houthis and their Iranian tails
[00:22:15] to tamper with this country, and this is a promise we make to the martyrs
[00:22:19] and we make to our leadership
[00:22:21] that we will not be disheartened and will not
[00:22:24] give up.
[00:22:30] Today, we bid farewell to one of the heroes
[00:22:33] of the National Army,
[00:22:35] Major Muhammad Al-Mahmoudi,
[00:22:39] the steadfast fighter,
[00:22:43] whose valor is witnessed in all
[00:22:46] battlefields. Since the beginning of
[00:22:50] his struggle until his martyrdom
[00:22:52] today. And we, in this
[00:22:56] procession of martyrs,
[00:23:00] the resolve
[00:23:02] of the National Army's sons
[00:23:04] and their determination to follow
[00:23:07] the path of the heroic martyr, the fighter,
[00:23:10] and his heroic comrades to liberate the homeland
[00:23:15] Houthi insurgency. And God willing, these struggles
[00:23:21] and sacrifices will be crowned
[00:23:24] with a swift victory that will delight all
[00:23:27] Yemenis. On this day, Friday, the
[00:23:30] 18th of the great month of September,
[00:23:33] the month of victories and the month of freedom
[00:23:36] and the month of our ancestors'
[00:23:40] sacrifices, the Yemeni people gained
[00:23:43] their freedom. We pray for the heroic
[00:23:46] martyr Muhammad Abdo Al-Mahmoudi, who achieved
[00:23:50] the honor of martyrdom. He longed for it and had many battles
[00:23:53] and tours in the battlefield against
[00:23:56] the terrorist Houthi militias.
[00:23:59] So we say that we will continue to offer convoys of martyrs,
[00:24:03] and here we are bidding him farewell
[00:24:06] martyrs. So these sacrifices will not be too expensive for our homeland
[00:24:09] until every last inch of the homeland
[00:24:13] is liberated, no matter what the sacrifices are, no matter
[00:24:16] what the giving is, no matter what
[00:24:20] the offering is. The homeland is greater, and our creed, first
[00:24:23] and foremost, deserves this sacrifice. So, God willing,
[00:24:26] God willing, these pure bloods
[00:24:33] in the near future, with victory, and we will celebrate, God willing,
[00:24:37] in Al-Sabeen Square, God willing, in Al-Sabeen Square.
