[00:00:00] to the presence of Ta'as, project. and what we witnessed yesterday [00:00:04] and what we have witnessed is only a small part of the battles [00:00:07] taking place there. In your opinion, this [00:00:15] in the white coast no issues on the basis that cohesion and manipulation between the fronts in most places, [00:00:16] at all. what can be inferred from this? Firstly, [00:00:20] it refutes the Houthi narrative [00:00:22] of our brothers in and refutes the French-Iranian narrative, [00:00:25] and it also refutes the narrative [00:00:28] of the Iraqi factions [00:00:31] loyal to Adan, and it also refutes [00:00:34] the narrative of Hezbollah that [00:00:37] there was a great struggle in the western coast. Unfortunately, [00:00:41] as I mentioned, there were no real [00:00:45] battles [00:00:50] days from that we can talk about as a victory, but rather about [00:00:52] a fabrication and crossing without any [00:00:56] were regained by Habishi, and also in confrontation, unfortunately. However, [00:00:59] this narrative today [00:01:02] the militia [00:01:03] is suffering [00:01:06] the bitterness of defeat on the walls of Ta'as, [00:01:10] on the mountains of Ta'as, whether the western mountains [00:01:13] or the western fronts, or the southern [00:01:17] fronts, or the eastern fronts, or the northern fronts. [00:01:21] and it offered convoys of The militia is suffering losses and casualties despite [00:01:25] its always unlimited capabilities from the powerful [00:01:29] Guard and the Iranian regime and from Hezbollah. [00:01:32] And perhaps their main battle [00:01:36] was to overthrow Ta'as [00:01:39] Therefore, how to secure their control [00:01:41] from our brothers over the western coast, [00:01:43] Mokha and then Bab al-Mandab. Today, [00:01:47] the militia is completely threatened. I can tell you today [00:01:51] that the battle of Ta'as is a battle [00:01:55] their sacrifices. In your opinion, when did that we are talking about its control over the Houthi supply [00:01:58] Even after routes in the western coast. It is also a battle [00:02:01] of chains of wisdom. We [00:02:05] are not talking [00:02:06] role in supporting about specific [00:02:09] locations or mountains [00:02:11] of specific importance, but rather it is crucial [00:02:14] and it is the core [00:02:17] of, well, the core of control. [00:02:21] project in It has even exceeded its limits today. When [00:02:24] we talk about the chains of Muwazza, [00:02:27] there is no retreat. I can [00:02:30] tell you that the militia is suffering [00:02:34] a faction bitter losses level, at the security level, and feels that what [00:02:37] happened in the western coast was a strategic gap. [00:02:42] hinders the re-establishment I am talking about the military level, and perhaps this [00:02:45] will be the result of the Houthi militia's defeat, and it will not [00:02:48] stop and will also be reflected today [00:02:51] when the battle began. It began with absorbing [00:02:55] the blow, then [00:02:58] defending, then [00:03:00] if it benefited from the air force. [00:03:04] Today, I can tell you [00:03:07] that they are [00:03:11] and fronts in receiving good news. The militia was hit, [00:03:13] gatherings were hit, it was hit on a tactical level, [00:03:17] and it was also hit in command [00:03:19] Yemen. Today, we are no longer and control centers, and weapons depots were hit, and reinforcement [00:03:23] routes were also hit. On a strategic level, [00:03:26] command centers were hit. [00:03:30] The main decision-maker in the capital, Sana'a, there are intelligence [00:03:33] operations that I can say [00:03:37] that [00:03:40] hype reached a truly vital [00:03:43] center. We are talking about a command and control center, [00:03:46] and weapons depots in Al-Nadeen [00:03:49] in Jabal Al-Madadin in [00:03:51] Al-Hada, [00:03:55] official channels. meaning in Al-Hafa, Al-Hafa camp, as well as in the depots, [00:03:58] which are strategic depots. [00:04:02] Therefore, there were [00:04:05] and dot the i's and cross the t's. killings of experts from the Iranian Guard in a precise [00:04:09] intelligence operation carried out by [00:04:12] the air force. Also, the drone [00:04:16] the Yemenis and differentiated entered, and you saw those successful [00:04:20] We should not confine them to this strikes. Today, the Houthi militia no longer monopolizes the weapon [00:04:23] of drones. Perhaps it is selling ballistic [00:04:27] missiles, and ballistic missiles do not [00:04:30] decide the battle. Perhaps they affect cities [00:04:33] in vital centers [00:04:37] like cities [00:04:40] and Egypt, but in the battle on the outskirts, [00:04:43] because there are complex battles, meaning mobile [00:04:47] and spread fronts. Today, Ta'as faces [00:04:50] more than 50 fronts, 26 main fronts [00:04:56] the places in it, and the rest are secondary fronts. And what [00:05:00] happened in the infiltration in Sabih [00:05:04] about reality. This today was, well, today [00:05:06] it was captured by the heroes of the armed forces, [00:05:09] the killing of thousands of knowing that this area was not less important. [00:05:15] But the residents began it with popular resistance, considering [00:05:18] the Houthi militia, because the area was an area [00:05:24] would enter it, nor would the Houthi militias enter it, nor [00:05:27] would the legitimate forces [00:05:31] under the Ta'as axis. But after this [00:05:34] agreement, it seems that there was [00:05:38] an agreement that it would remain neutral from the conflict. [00:05:41] But after but after the Houthi [00:05:45] militia entered, the residents were the first to confront [00:05:48] this operation, and then it was reinforced from the Ta'as [00:05:51] axis, and it did not look at [00:05:54] the victories. Also in Shmaytin, when I talk [00:05:58] about today, Al-Muqarima [00:06:01] was completely regained, as well as other locations. [00:06:05] Also, locations in Yemen [00:06:08] Al-Atid in Libna. Ta'as, my brother, [00:06:12] is the incubator of the state and the republics. [00:06:15] It cannot be stripped away from a specific geography. Ta'as has been [00:06:19] a project since the sixties, and it has been struggling, [00:06:23] and it was the starting point of the two revolutions, [00:06:26] September 26 and October 14, and it was [00:06:29] the main driver and protector of this project, [00:06:34] martyrs in all historical turning points. Therefore, Ta'as cannot [00:06:38] be, well, its incubator is for the national army. [00:06:40] These [00:07:02] fronts are part of several fronts. What if [00:07:06] the rest of the fronts were ignited? Where would these militias be? I will listen to your [00:07:10] words, but after a short break. Allow me to go to this break, dear viewers. [00:07:13] A short break, and then we will return. Stay [00:07:16] with us. [00:07:24] Welcome back, dear viewers. We are in this episode, [00:07:27] in which we host Colonel Rashad Al-Makhliki, head of the military press department [00:07:31] at the Moral Guidance Department of the Armed Forces. Rashad, [00:07:34] regarding the multiplicity of fronts and the ignition of fronts [00:07:38] in different directions and regions. [00:07:42] What will be the state of these militias? [00:07:45] Of course, when you talk about the fronts for [00:07:49] the Houthi militia, today Marib [00:07:51] and Ta'as are two main fronts. [00:07:54] Therefore, the Houthi militia [00:07:57] has pushed tens of thousands [00:08:00] of its fighters and leaders [00:08:03] to these fronts, meaning [00:08:06] thousands. Of course, all [00:08:10] fronts have been liberated, and I do not want to reveal [00:08:14] something. I assure you that the coming days [00:08:17] will witness [00:08:22] fronts the governorates, and they have [00:08:26] strategic importance. Meaning, [00:08:29] it will also change [00:08:32] the repeated issue. If [00:08:35] we talk, for example, also [00:08:37] things within us, [00:08:40] you will hear good news. I say [00:08:43] to the citizen not to look [00:08:46] and not to be swayed by [00:08:50] this media [00:08:52] and this huge propaganda [00:08:56] that is carried out by a war party [00:08:59] in perhaps psychological warfare [00:09:02] since we are talking about decades. [00:09:06] Southern years to [00:09:09] Baghdad to [00:09:13] the point where perhaps the Houthi militia has no name, [00:09:17] and by the way, [00:09:18] even we [00:09:21] have experienced that the Imanis also [00:09:25] waged propaganda against [00:09:29] between them and caused wars that did not end between tribes [00:09:31] and regions in order to consolidate the struggle. But today [00:09:35] it has also been subjected to new [00:09:39] scientific methods. Its well-known [00:09:42] alliance, the alliance [00:09:46] of [00:09:49] destruction led by Qatar. We are talking [00:09:53] about experts and experts in psychology [00:09:56] and in military psychology and in propaganda [00:09:59] and psychological warfare. [00:10:01] Therefore, I assure you that in the coming days, [00:10:05] the militia today is experiencing a state [00:10:08] of weakness that cannot be, and this is not [00:10:13] for consumption. I am talking [00:10:16] large [00:10:19] spread. We are talking today about [00:10:22] leaders. [00:10:25] There are killings at the leadership level. There are killings [00:10:28] also, unfortunately, even of the misled. This will reflect [00:10:32] completely, and I can [00:10:35] tell you that the Houthi militia will not establish itself [00:10:41] And perhaps I can say that every [00:10:44] tribulation creates [00:10:47] a grant, and this was [00:10:50] a golden opportunity to cut off the limbs [00:10:53] of the militias, and also to eliminate their elements [00:10:56] and leaders and their [00:10:58] strong [00:11:00] trained ideological leaders, as well as the destruction [00:11:04] of the mechanisms that they were able to gather [00:11:08] during the past period, [00:11:11] especially with [00:11:14] the logistical or [00:11:17] unlimited military support from the Iranian [00:11:21] regime. Yes, Rashad, today we [00:11:25] are witnessing one decision, one goal, [00:11:28] and one flag almost. In the past stages, [00:11:32] this mechanism was not followed. [00:11:35] Today, the military decision [00:11:39] has become one, the movement is one, and the fronts are one. [00:11:42] In your opinion, how will this affect the performance [00:11:44] of the equation? [00:11:47] Let me complete a very important point. You talked [00:11:50] about [00:11:53] igniting and escalating all fronts. Of course, [00:11:56] you will witness this in the coming days, [00:11:59] and this is [00:12:02] one of its military results. Firstly, [00:12:05] well, I can say that it disperses [00:12:08] the Houthi militia's military effort, [00:12:12] and it also weakens the military decision, [00:12:15] and it also weakens [00:12:19] the forces. It will find itself [00:12:23] in multiple fronts. [00:12:26] And this will also reflect on [00:12:29] the course of the coming battle that [00:12:33] will be on its way towards liberating the capital Sana'a, God willing. [00:12:36] Of course, [00:12:39] today, the time has completely changed. [00:12:42] You know, during the past years, [00:12:44] and even during the war, it was not [00:12:47] facing all these scattered fronts and others. The fronts [00:12:51] were stopped. Also, we had [00:12:55] a faction, and unfortunately, [00:12:59] stabbing in the back. This hinders [00:13:02] any collective effort, hinders the battle, [00:13:07] of the state in the temporary capital, Aden, [00:13:11] and greatly hindered [00:13:12] the battle [00:13:15] to support Al-Harthi, unfortunately. The situation has completely [00:13:18] changed. I can tell you that [00:13:20] everything [00:13:23] has become today the institution of the armed forces [00:13:27] as well as the rest of the military formations [00:13:30] are integrated. Today they are moving in [00:13:33] accordance with one plan and one political decision [00:13:37] and one military decision, starting from the head [00:13:41] of the Presidential Leadership Council, His Excellency President [00:13:44] Dr. Rashad Muhammad [00:13:46] Al-Alimi, [00:13:49] to [00:13:51] the National Defense Council, then the Ministry of Defense [00:13:55] and the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, as well as [00:13:59] the War Operations Authority. Today there are several [00:14:02] operational plans in the operations areas, [00:14:05] and there is work proceeding rapidly, and you will witness [00:14:09] in the coming period [00:14:13] that that propaganda, those [00:14:16] heroes whom I salute on all [00:14:19] fronts, I salute them with [00:14:23] a September-October salute. We are not in the sixties [00:14:27] when we looked at the rest of the regions, especially [00:14:30] our brothers in northern Yemen. Today there is a great [00:14:34] republican unity, and there is also a broad [00:14:37] belief in the survival of the republic and a rejection of the main [00:14:41] project, which is present in [00:14:44] the form of a main incubator for the armed forces. [00:14:47] And you will know when the campaigns [00:14:50] and battles begin, and they will only end in the capital. Yes, [00:14:52] Rashad, regarding September 26 and October [00:14:55] 14, these two great [00:14:58] revolutions. Today we are living this [00:15:02] anniversary. In your opinion, how can we draw inspiration [00:15:05] from this unique [00:15:08] awakening, or what we call the eternal miracle that [00:15:11] we are still striving to achieve today? [00:15:15] In your opinion, how can we [00:15:18] today draw inspiration from this experience [00:15:21] and present something so that future [00:15:25] generations remember that there were also [00:15:28] those who offered [00:15:30] sacrifices [00:15:34] There are features, as I mentioned. [00:15:38] Today, you will find the revolutions of September 26 [00:15:41] and October 14 returning again to [00:15:44] the people. Today, the simple citizen celebrates [00:15:47] in his home, even in the Houthi-controlled [00:15:51] areas. Today, there are those who lit [00:15:54] fires on the roof of their homes [00:15:58] today, celebrating the September 26 [00:16:01] Revolution. Today, what I can [00:16:05] say is that the celebrations and the great celebration [00:16:08] are before we officially declare [00:16:11] these two great revolutions. Yes, [00:16:14] today I can tell you that this great revolution [00:16:17] is returning with its roots again, [00:16:20] and the heroes also on the fronts. [00:16:23] Imagine on the fronts [00:16:27] from Marib to Al-Jawf [00:16:30] to Al-Bayda to Shabwah [00:16:34] to Dhale to Ta'as [00:16:37] to Lahj to Ta'as. [00:16:41] September 26 on its 64th [00:16:44] anniversary, there is today [00:16:47] great passion and they realize that they are fighting [00:16:51] this battle. Therefore, you find the militia in [00:16:55] an unusual state regarding the anniversary of the September 26 [00:16:58] revolutions, because it is a project, [00:17:02] I can say, that is temporary and its end [00:17:04] is inevitable. Yes, in your opinion, [00:17:12] in September 26 and October 14, the elite [00:17:15] was on the borders of the elite. The revolutionary [00:17:19] movement and the liberation movement are now the people. Perhaps [00:17:23] today we are talking about the people [00:17:26] perhaps surpassing the elite in their uprising, in their awareness, and in [00:17:30] their struggle, and in [00:17:33] this happen? [00:17:36] the regions. [00:18:04] At the political level, at the cultural level, at the military [00:18:09] at the economic level, at the educational level, [00:18:12] greatly. Symbols from [00:18:16] these mountains also worked to distort [00:18:19] the revolution from its political, [00:18:22] social, economic, and cultural [00:18:24] content to a large extent. [00:18:28] Even today, when we are talking [00:18:31] in the ninth, [00:18:34] meaning talking about [00:18:38] Yahya Al-Houthi as an unjust Imam, [00:18:41] is this a disaster? And he talked about the Sayyids. [00:18:45] Firstly, on this point in particular, [00:18:48] I would like to say a sufficient [00:18:51] observation. Perhaps [00:18:54] our brothers and our people in the northern [00:18:58] regions know that it is not possible [00:19:01] today, and it is not possible [00:19:04] for anyone to describe our tribes [00:19:09] as Sayyid tribes. These are Himyarite tribes, [00:19:11] Qahtanite Arab tribes [00:19:15] par excellence. And when we talk about the Zaydi [00:19:18] concept, whether in its governmental [00:19:21] or regional aspect, it is a political [00:19:24] theory based on satisfying, [00:19:26] based on the succession of these who came from [00:19:29] Tabaristan and also became [00:19:33] masters over us today. They do not represent [00:19:35] even 1%. We must [00:19:38] put things in perspective [00:19:43] These are their descendants [00:19:46] and these in northern Yemen are [00:19:49] ancient [00:19:50] Qahtanite Yemeni [00:19:54] tribes. [00:19:57] unfortunate theory. [00:20:01] We put it and even [00:20:05] today, even unfortunately, some [00:20:08] personalities who guide the militia [00:20:11] and who are being drawn [00:20:14] and belong to the embrace of the new imamate [00:20:17] in its new [00:20:19] and old version, the Houthi [00:20:23] descendants of Al-Rass, this [00:20:26] fascism. [00:20:30] Their descendants [00:20:33] will feel the bitterness of humiliation from what they have caused. [00:20:43] Yes, God willing, we will dedicate episodes to discuss this topic, [00:20:46] which is how to remove. [00:20:49] It [00:20:51] is an attempt. [00:20:53] The reaction may come from these people when [00:20:56] we try to attribute them to this or that. But [00:21:00] we will dedicate this topic, but let me move [00:21:02] to. I don't generalize, by the way. [00:21:05] There is a wide range of free people [00:21:08] in northern Yemen, and there are also some [00:21:12] the mountains from Sa'ada, from Hajjah, from [00:21:16] Amran, from Sana'a, from Dhamar, side by side, [00:21:20] in the trenches of the republic to defend the republic and to defend [00:21:24] the September 26 revolution against the new imamate, [00:21:26] against the old imamate in its new version [00:21:30] from the Houthi militia. We do not generalize. No, I don't mean that. I mean those who talk [00:21:34] in this way, [00:21:38] especially in this stage. We [00:21:40] have [00:21:42] clear matters after ten years or 12 years of war with [00:21:46] these militias. Certainly, there are those who, [00:21:52] therefore, I say that today, as we recall these details, [00:21:56] in your opinion, or the military press [00:21:58] in the media [00:22:02] department, what should be done to try to solve [00:22:06] this? There are some [00:22:08] speeches, unfortunately, that pass [00:22:12] through society, harm the incubator, harm the project, and even harm [00:22:15] the battle. In your opinion, what is expected today from journalists and media professionals [00:22:19] in this stage? You are the head of the military press department. [00:22:22] I will complete the first question on a very [00:22:26] important point. Yes, yes. When you talked today [00:22:29] about September 26 and October 14, these [00:22:32] two great liberating revolutions, [00:22:36] the September 26 revolution that ended [00:22:39] the rule of the priestly regime, [00:22:42] even orientalists said that there is no people in the 20th century [00:22:45] more oppressed than the Yemeni people when they visited [00:22:49] Yemen. [00:23:01] It overthrew the strongest state in the world, [00:23:04] and I can tell you that the sun never sets on it, [00:23:08] its sun set at the hands of the heroes of the October 14 [00:23:11] revolution, and they were able to achieve that revolution by uniting 22 [00:23:15] entities that colonialism had [00:23:18] nourished. Small, [00:23:21] separate entities until they formed [00:23:25] the republic of two great [00:23:28] countries. Today, the enthusiasm has returned to the people, to the Yemeni [00:23:31] people. This revolution has returned, [00:23:35] and I can tell you that [00:23:37] the situation today has changed, [00:23:40] and during the coming period, [00:23:43] you will also witness victories [00:23:47] and great victories on the occasion of September 26. [00:23:50] Today, people are holding on to September 26 and October [00:23:54] 14. The ordinary citizen [00:23:57] before the official, today, the celebrations are no longer [00:24:00] carnivalesque for a regime, for a certain political elite, [00:24:04] for the ruling elite or the ruling [00:24:07] regime. Today, the celebration [00:24:10] is purely popular. [00:24:14] Before that, regarding the media, on [00:24:18] Al-Fida. [00:24:40] One source of information, and also you have several [00:24:45] Citizens should get their information [00:24:48] from our TV channel. [00:24:53] Also, the official radio. Also, today we have a military [00:24:57] spokesman. People should [00:25:00] get their information from his daily [00:25:04] statements. Today, we also have official [00:25:07] websites. [00:25:10] I mean the October 26 newspaper, September 26 [00:25:13] newspaper. Also, [00:25:17] the military [00:25:20] spokesman. These are the official channels from which [00:25:23] information should be obtained, because [00:25:26] unfortunately, today we are facing [00:25:30] not old means as in the past, [00:25:34] whether through the fifth column, for example, for the enemy [00:25:37] to send a group [00:25:40] to an area to spread [00:25:43] some rumors in [00:25:46] they are gathering. Unfortunately, today. [00:26:35] There are many factors you mentioned. Factors of igniting the fronts [00:26:39] and unifying the military decision. All of these [00:26:43] contribute to the decisive battle. [00:26:46] Also, what we saw in the past [00:26:52] the media of Emir [00:26:54] Muhammad, [00:26:57] that we are with our brothers until the Yemeni state is restored, [00:27:01] and we also saw how [00:27:04] wages were improved for fighters, settlement of areas, [00:27:08] settlement of individuals. This may reflect [00:27:10] positively on the morale of the fighters and on the [00:27:14] unity. We, the Arab channel, cannot compromise on this, [00:27:18] and we also cannot say that Saudi Arabia is in one [00:27:21] trench, brothers and sisters. The project that [00:27:24] targets both countries is an Iranian [00:27:27] project, meaning they say it [00:27:30] openly and clearly. As for talking about the single [00:27:34] orientation, Saudi Arabia, we have millions [00:27:36] of expatriates in this. [00:27:41] can this orientation in Saudi Arabia and Iran [00:27:45] affect, saying that they are with Yemen and with the first happiness, and I say from [00:27:49] these moments, allow me to [00:27:52] direct my thanks to the Yemeni armed forces. All [00:27:56] thanks, appreciation, and praise to the Kingdom of Saudi [00:27:58] Arabia, its king, crown prince, [00:28:02] people, and government, and its people [00:28:06] for this great [00:28:09] their brothers in Yemen, in supporting [00:28:12] legitimacy, in supporting the army [00:28:15] of the Yemeni armed forces in confronting [00:28:19] the Houthi project behind the Iranian [00:28:23] the region. A salute to the great [00:28:26] and our people will not forget our leaders. This alternative [00:28:30] is for our brothers in the Kingdom [00:28:32] of Saudi Arabia. Firstly, when we talk about the Kingdom [00:28:36] of Saudi Arabia, we [00:28:38] and the allies, rather [00:28:41] we are strategic partners. When [00:28:44] you talk about a strategic partner today, the Arab [00:28:47] nation is one and indivisible [00:28:50] for Yemen, for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the Gulf, [00:28:54] even we also see [00:28:57] that there is a threat and a threat to Arab [00:29:00] legal security. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. [00:29:09] The Iranian chaos project, [00:29:11] countries have burned [00:29:13] Iraq, Syria, [00:29:17] destroyed Lebanon, burned [00:29:21] in the Arab East, but in Saudi Arabia, and it is the castle [00:29:25] of the Arabs, not just for Yemen. Today, [00:29:29] if Saudi Arabia says it is an Arab project. [00:29:32] There are projects, there are three existing projects, [00:29:36] unfortunately, the Zionist
