The tweet read: residing in the Kingdom illegally. [00:00:42] Local news. [00:00:44] Other [00:00:47] Houthi cells in Aden, Lahj, and Abyan, and the foiling of terrorist plots. [00:00:51] The Ministry of Interior announced the arrest and dismantling of cells linked to the Houthi [00:00:56] coup. As for terrorist militia in Aden, Lahj, and Abyan last September. [00:00:58] It said that they were planning to target security [00:01:02] and military leaders, vital installations, military reinforcements, [00:01:05] and supply lines. Minister of Interior Major General [00:01:08] Ibrahim Haydan stated during a press conference in Aden [00:01:11] that the most prominent of these cells was a network consisting [00:01:15] of 8 elements arrested in Lahj at the end of [00:01:18] September, in addition to a women's cell in the governorate [00:01:22] and a cell of two people in Lawdar district in Abyan. [00:01:25] He added that the security forces arrested in Dar [00:01:28] Saad district in Aden one of the elements with explosive [00:01:32] devices, while investigations revealed that the network [00:01:35] elements received training in monitoring, bombing, and planting [00:01:39] explosive devices. The Minister of Interior affirmed that these [00:01:42] operations come within efforts to secure the internal front [00:01:46] and thwart plots that target security [00:01:48] and stability, stressing the need to enhance vigilance and security [00:01:52] coordination, and praising Saudi [00:01:54] of what they live. support for the security sector. In a related context, Aden Governor [00:01:57] Abdul Rahman Sheikh referred to the establishment of 800 [00:02:01] tents to receive about 7,000 displaced people during half [00:02:04] a month as part of the humanitarian measures taken [00:02:07] to deal with the wave of displacement. [00:02:11] From Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper: Photos of Houthi militia [00:02:14] dead turn into a booming [00:02:17] and a front that does business in Sanaa. Escalating mobilization [00:02:20] Taiz today is at the heart of this spending is met with deteriorating living conditions. [00:02:23] Sources working in photography in Sanaa revealed an increase [00:02:26] in demand for printing photos of Houthi militia dead with the increase [00:02:30] in funeral ceremonies and mobilization activities in [00:02:33] areas under its control, which prompted the militia to expand printing operations [00:02:37] and seek or resort to private studios [00:02:40] to meet the increasing demands. [00:02:43] I don't know the Press concern must advance sources told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat [00:02:47] that thousands of photos were prepared [00:02:50] in different sizes to be used in funeral ceremonies and displayed in [00:02:54] streets and squares, pointing [00:02:57] to the expenditure of millions of riyals on these works during [00:03:01] and struggle, the recent period. When will it abandon neutrality? I mean, The spread [00:03:03] of the photos sparked dissatisfaction among a number of residents amidst [00:03:07] questions about the aspects of spending and the conditions of the families [00:03:10] of the dead and their living needs after losing their sons. [00:03:14] Observers [00:03:16] an exceptional model of believe that the use of photos of the dead in streets and events [00:03:19] goes beyond funeral ceremonies to [00:03:21] and freedom. This reinforce military mobilization at a time when living [00:03:25] conditions are worsening and the burdens on [00:03:27] residents and families of the dead are increasing. [00:03:30] For events, there is an apparent aspect and beyond it [00:03:35] of war on humans, we follow in this are questions that facts alone cannot resolve. Who directs [00:03:37] awareness and how does the word preserve its humanity? [00:03:41] Two questions open the doors to reading and analysis in [00:04:01] Dr. Mohammed bin Musa Al-Amiri wrote an article titled [00:04:04] "The Battle of Awareness in Yemen" in which he said: At a time when [00:04:08] our Yemeni people are fighting the battle of salvation from the Houthi [00:04:12] project supported by Iran on the ground, there is another [00:04:16] very important battle that coincides with [00:04:19] Airport in the arenas of confrontation that the heroes [00:04:22] of the Yemeni armed forces [00:04:25] Their leadership and with their different military formations are fighting, which is the battle of awareness. Awareness in [00:04:29] Yemen. He said: At a time when our Yemeni [00:04:32] people are fighting the battle of salvation from the Houthi project [00:04:35] supported by Iran on the ground, there is another [00:04:39] very important battle that coincides with [00:04:42] the arenas of confrontation that the heroes [00:04:45] And I want here in this of the Yemeni armed forces with their different [00:04:48] military formations are fighting, which is the battle of awareness. There is nothing [00:04:52] of that in Iran. [00:04:54] the governorate amid Fourth, Saudi Arabia has not done anything of what Iran has done in its interference in [00:04:58] Arab countries. Fifth, Saudi Arabia has provided [00:05:02] and continues to provide for the Yemeni people, while Iran has exported to us [00:05:06] militias of aggression and terrorism and all kinds [00:05:08] of drones to kill hundreds of thousands of the Yemeni people, [00:05:13] and injure as many, and displace millions, and ballistic [00:05:16] missiles and mines. So, take heed, oh people [00:05:20] of understanding. [00:05:22] Another article titled "Humanity First: [00:05:25] The Word in Times of Crises" by Dunia Al-Khamri [00:05:29] said: In times of crises, the word is no longer [00:05:32] just a means to describe what is happening, but [00:05:36] becomes part of the human scene [00:05:38] itself, conveying pain, revealing need, [00:05:42] and giving people space to make their voices heard [00:05:45] amidst the din of events. And in [00:05:47] the land of Yemen, where developments unfold [00:05:51] and their repercussions reflect on people's lives, the crisis is not measured [00:05:55] by what is happening on the ground alone, but also by what [00:05:58] it leaves as an impact on human lives: families [00:06:02] displaced in search of safety, children whose lives [00:06:06] change, families losing their livelihoods, [00:06:09] and humanitarian needs expanding [00:06:13] as the suffering lengthens. And behind [00:06:16] every military or political development, there are people [00:06:19] who pay with their lives and stability [00:06:22] a price that does not always appear in the headlines. Here [00:06:25] lies the importance of the word: to see the human before [00:06:29] the event, and to place their suffering in its true [00:06:32] context, far from exaggerating numbers [00:06:35] and fleeting headlines. And because what is said today [00:06:39] will remain part of the memory of this stage, [00:06:42] it is our responsibility that the word be truthful without embellishment, [00:06:46] empathetic without exaggeration, and professional without [00:06:50] losing its human sense. [00:06:53] In times of crises, events may pass quickly, but [00:06:57] the impact of the word remains, either to preserve human voice [00:07:00] and dignity, or to add to the burden [00:07:06] From awareness that confronts deception to words that preserve [00:07:10] human dignity, writing remains an attempt [00:07:13] to understand what lies behind the event, not just to observe what appears [00:07:17] of it. We now move, dear viewers, to the social media space, [00:07:21] where the suffering of a city turns into a call [00:07:24] that echoes beyond its walls. The [00:07:27] question becomes: how does the echo of words translate into action? [00:07:33] question, with the national and humanitarian dimensions [00:07:36] of its siege. Here's a summary of [00:07:39] what came in these interactions. [00:07:56] Dear viewers, we begin with the national and humanitarian call of Taiz. Minister [00:08:00] of Information Muammar Al-Eryani calls for transforming solidarity with the governorate [00:08:03] into practical steps to protect civilians [00:08:07] and strengthen the steadfastness of its people. He said: The national [00:08:10] and humanitarian call of Taiz, launched by the governor of the governorate, [00:08:14] His Excellency Professor Nabil Shamsan, expresses a national [00:08:17] responsibility that calls for concerted official [00:08:20] and popular efforts and unifying energies to protect civilians [00:08:24] and strengthen the steadfastness of the people of Taiz, who have presented [00:08:29] steadfastness and defense of the republic, dignity, [00:08:34] call deserves a broad national response [00:08:37] that translates solidarity with Taiz into practical [00:08:41] positions and steps. It affirms that Taiz is not [00:08:44] a provincial issue alone, but an issue [00:08:47] of an entire nation, and that ending its siege and the suffering [00:08:51] of its people is a national and humanitarian [00:08:55] cannot be postponed. From the account of the British Ambassador [00:08:59] to our country, Abda Sharif, and a warning of the humanitarian consequences [00:09:02] of the siege of Taiz, where she said: [00:09:06] The Ministry of Public Health and Population in Yemen [00:09:08] strongly warned that the Houthi siege [00:09:12] of Taiz is pushing the health system towards collapse, with [00:09:16] a severe shortage of medicines, medical supplies, and fuel [00:09:19] threatening life-saving services. [00:09:22] The same reckless disregard [00:09:26] for civilian lives was evident in the heinous Houthi attack on [00:09:29] King Khalid International Riyadh, which killed [00:09:33] 12 civilians and injured more than [00:09:36] 300 others. Targeting civilian infrastructure, [00:09:40] whether by siege or by missile strikes, is indefensible. [00:09:43] The Houthis must lift the siege on Taiz [00:09:47] and allow humanitarian aid to reach it, and stop the attacks [00:09:50] that continue to inflict suffering on civilians in Yemen [00:09:54] and across the region. [00:09:56] From the account of Al-Ekhbariya Saudi channel, highlighting [00:10:00] the urgent call launched by Taiz Governor Nabil [00:10:03] Shamsan to break the siege imposed on [00:10:07] the exacerbation of humanitarian suffering. [00:10:10] The tweet read: Taiz Governor launches [00:10:14] an urgent call to break the suffocating siege and deter [00:10:18] the aggression launched by the Houthi terrorist militia on the governorate, [00:10:22] and confirms the tragedy. In Taiz, [00:10:25] it is escalating to include food, medicine, and fuel, which threatens [00:10:29] the lives of 6 million Yemenis. And from [00:10:32] the call for response, Ahmed Al-Sabahi highlights [00:10:35] Governor Nabil Shamsan's call as a comprehensive call [00:10:39] to protect the city and support its people in facing [00:10:43] challenges. He tweeted: The national and humanitarian [00:10:46] call of Taiz. Governor Nabil Shamsan launches [00:10:50] a comprehensive call to protect the city and strengthen the steadfastness [00:10:54] of its people in facing Houthi terrorism and across [00:10:58] the fronts. The Yemeni Scene account links [00:11:01] the steadfastness of Taiz to the broader [00:11:04] Taiz is not alone, for the heroes [00:11:07] of the armed forces on all fronts are fighting one [00:11:11] national battle whose title is protecting [00:11:14] Yemenis, restoring the state, and ending [00:11:18] the Houthi [00:11:21] the military level, Azza Al-Bail reads the developments on the Taiz [00:11:25] front as an attrition of the Houthi [00:11:28] militia's capabilities. He tweeted via his account, saying: What is happening [00:11:31] to the Houthis in Taiz is a real attrition [00:11:35] and a continuous liquidation of equipment, materiel, [00:11:38] and Houthi elements in a battle that is turning into [00:11:41] a real graveyard for all that the militia [00:11:44] mobilizes and pushes to the fronts. [00:11:48] After reading the field, Hail Al-Bakali recalls [00:11:51] years of siege and steadfastness by saying: Taiz, which [00:11:55] stood firm for more than 11 years in [00:11:58] the face of the Houthis, returns today to the forefront of events with [00:12:02] escalating battles and road closures. A city [00:12:04] that paid or a city that paid a heavy [00:12:08] price for the siege and still maintains its institutions and civilian [00:12:12] life despite years of war. [00:12:15] From the memory of steadfastness to its extension today, Dr. Hassan [00:12:19] Mohammed Al-Qatwi recalls the experience of Taiz since the first [00:12:22] years of the war, where he said: [00:12:25] Taiz stood firm when everyone expected its [00:12:28] fall in the first weeks [00:12:31] of the war, and today, after all these long years, the Houthi [00:12:35] is still paying the same price on its fronts. [00:12:38] A city that does not break [00:12:42] not falter, no matter how severe the siege. [00:12:45] But behind the lines of confrontation are details that military [00:12:49] calculations cannot summarize. Maher Al-Sufi points to [00:12:53] the conditions of families, the wounded, and civilians, saying: Behind [00:12:56] the steadfastness of Taiz are families bearing the burdens of war, and wounded awaiting [00:13:00] care, and civilians needing [00:13:04] protection. So, humanitarian [00:13:07] with concern for the field. [00:13:09] And we conclude, dear viewers, the interactions with a dimension [00:13:13] related to the future of the state. Sami Al-Kaf sees in [00:13:16] the experience of Taiz more than the steadfastness of a city. He said: [00:13:20] Taiz of glory, with what it carries of the memory of the republic [00:13:26] does not view its defense of its land as an isolated military [00:13:29] act from the future of Yemen, but as a defense [00:13:33] of the right of generations to a state that is not run [00:13:36] by the logic of weapons, nor does it have imposed upon it the will of a tribal [00:13:40] group that claims to possess [00:13:43] the truth. From the call for protection to the right [00:13:47] of the state, the interactions of Taiz reflected the importance of national [00:13:50] support and the necessity of prioritizing the protection of civilians [00:13:53] and addressing their suffering. At the forefront of attention, [00:13:56] and to document the cost [00:14:00] video graphic due to the Houthi war, Taiz [00:14:03] pays a heavy price due to shelling, [00:14:06] siege, and mines. Let's watch. [00:14:36] Behind the walls of the siege, the circle of [00:14:40] suffering widens, and food and medicine become more [00:14:43] than just daily needs. [00:14:47] We have problems, we have war, we have everything. Save us, [00:14:50] we are without food or drink, and we are displaced from Akkad [00:14:53] from Habashy. [00:14:55] We are tormented. Only God knows. [00:16:29] As for the caricature, dear viewers, it chooses to read [00:16:32] the scene in its own way. [00:16:35] Let's watch. [00:17:07] To understand events, not just what happened, but what the facts leave [00:17:10] in terms of responsibilities and what they reveal in terms of priorities. [00:17:14] In a country whose people have been exhausted by war, [00:17:17] protecting humans and restoring state institutions [00:17:21] remain criteria for any transformation that is hoped [00:17:24] to make a difference in the lives [00:18:25] how can the capital, the capital of the nation, fall while the army [00:18:29] is neutral? If the army is neutral, then why? [00:18:34] don't be reserved about anyone, this is a testimony for history. And some [00:18:38] went too far, including people in the army, including [00:18:41] the Minister of Defense. I wrote about him at the same time that he was a traitor. [00:18:45] Something worse than darkness, I mean, [00:18:48] your country's capital falls without any [00:18:52] resistance, and everyone [00:18:55] kills it [00:18:56] and people are led [00:19:02] like sheep. Welcome, dear viewers, to the episode. I wrote about him [00:19:06] at the same time. That he was a traitor. Something [00:19:10] worse than darkness, I mean, your country's capital falls [00:19:14] without any resistance, [00:19:16] and everyone kills it and people are led [00:19:20] like sheep. [00:19:25] Welcome, dear viewers, to the episode. [00:19:28] Look, when we talk [00:19:32] about all the roles of Yemen, there are roles [00:19:35] of the Kingdom. No, no, what is happening in Yemen, [00:19:39] there are two pillars: the popular [00:19:42] incubator and the support of the Kingdom of [00:19:45] Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia [00:19:49] sensed that Yemen was going through a dangerous [00:19:52] birth and it must emerge to safety. [00:19:55] And the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, [00:19:58] may God have mercy on him, had a role in this. [00:20:02] I mean, his foreign minister, Saud Al-Faisal, and all [00:20:06] And there was also, I mean, in coordination with [00:20:08] Gulf countries, but the main pillar is the Kingdom [00:20:12] of Saudi Arabia. So, there was the Gulf initiative [00:20:15] that I mean, [00:20:18] I mean, tried to find [00:20:22] a peaceful solution without shedding [00:20:25] blood and to bring [00:20:27] Yemenis, including the presidency, [00:20:31] the authority, and the opposition, to safety. [00:20:34] Yes. Well, Professor Muhammad, I mean, [00:20:37] in the National Dialogue Conference, you were one of the members of the defense [00:20:40] team, I mean, the army [00:20:44] and security, and many details [00:20:47] and events took place during eight months of the National Dialogue [00:20:50] Conference, and therefore, [00:20:52] tell us about this period and about these events that took place [00:20:56] during this period. [00:20:59] The Dialogue Conference began tense, especially the members [00:21:03] of the Southern Issue [00:21:07] with the people of the southern governorates, then things started and things [00:21:11] started to converge. Of course, the tension and the greatest [00:21:14] malice were from the Houthis, and [00:21:18] he was [00:21:21] on one side and fighting legitimacy in many places [00:21:24] and blowing it up and carrying weapons, and this was one of the mistakes [00:21:28] that I consider that a مسلح [00:21:32] faction intervenes and negotiates with you while at the same [00:21:35] time killing your soldiers in several areas. We negotiated [00:21:39] and we were in the army and security [00:21:43] team headed by Yahya Al-Shami [00:21:46] and he is one of the founders of the Houthis, but [00:21:59] then we split into two groups, the army group and the security group. I was [00:22:02] the rapporteur of the army group. Of course, among those who [00:22:06] are members of this team is Dr. Rashad [00:22:08] Al-Alimi, His Excellency the President currently, [00:22:11] and also Abdullah Al-Nakhbi, the well-known [00:22:14] personality, and also Ali Abdullah [00:22:17] Al-Sallal, the son [00:22:21] of President Marshal Al-Sallal, and my friend [00:22:24] Ali bin Shatif. This man was one of the noblest people, and he was [00:22:27] a former member of parliament and from the people of Al-Jawf. [00:22:31] May God have mercy on him. And great figures [00:22:34] were in this So the Houthis who were [00:22:37] with us were reckless [00:22:40] and knew that they would fail the dialogue before it reached. [00:22:44] And [00:22:46] the clauses of the dialogue outcomes. [00:22:52] The first part and the second part, and what is voted on cannot be re-voted [00:22:55] on. So we were focused and we voted [00:22:58] and moved on, and they moved on believing [00:23:02] that they So the outcomes [00:23:06] were wonderful, but they went to the wind, [00:23:08] I mean. [00:23:11] The country's Islam, we are not responsible for its demise, but theoretically [00:23:14] it exists, [00:23:15] and the outcome [00:23:18] I mean, was wonderful. And clauses that did justice to Yemen [00:23:22] in its north and south, and even did justice [00:23:25] to every district and village to build a national army from [00:23:28] all regions and according to ratios [00:23:31] that took into account population [00:23:34] density and geographical area. Well, is [00:23:38] there talk, I mean, will [00:23:41] Yemen benefit from the outcomes of the National [00:23:44] Dialogue Conference? Are these outcomes and the results of the outcomes [00:23:47] still being talked about by anyone [00:23:51] now? Look, if we want to produce the first [00:23:55] Yemeni dialogue that includes various forces and blocs [00:23:59] and elements and did justice to everyone, [00:24:02] and if there was no dialogue before of this [00:24:05] size and in this manner and with this precision, [00:24:08] then if we go beyond [00:24:11] it, then we will only go beyond whims [00:24:14] and interests. So, perhaps these are human works [00:24:18] that need to be evaluated from time to time. If there is [00:24:22] an amendment, then half of it is half for the cause of the homeland. Yes. [00:24:26] Well, the National Dialogue Conference ended, [00:24:29] and during this period, approximately, the Houthi [00:24:32] militias had overthrown Amran and [00:24:35] were preparing to overthrow [00:24:39] Sanaa and enter Sanaa, then they entered Sanaa. [00:24:43] How were you following this event, or [00:24:46] how were the Houthi militias able to overthrow [00:24:50] the capital, Sanaa? Look, the Houthi militias overthrew [00:24:53] the capital, Sanaa, [00:24:56] I mean, [00:24:58] they prepared for its overthrow on a silver [00:25:01] platter of squabbles, and each party thought that [00:25:04] it would exploit the Houthi for its own benefit, [00:25:08] as if he was a soldier of God for him. [00:25:11] Some said, what is it [00:25:13] but a Caesarean [00:25:16] operation aimed at overthrowing the University of Faith? [00:25:20] The first. And others believed that he [00:25:24] would let them in and take revenge on his enemies. And some [00:25:27] went too far, including people in the army, including [00:25:30] the Minister of Defense. I wrote about him at the same time that he was a traitor. [00:25:35] podcast to be clear, I mean, narrate the events [00:25:39] as they were with their names, designations, and individuals, [00:25:42] I mean, don't be reserved about anyone, this is a testimony for history. [00:25:46] Look, a testimony for history that [00:25:49] everyone contributed in different [00:25:52] proportions. The presidency contributed. The Minister of Defense [00:25:55] was the spearhead when he said the army is neutral. [00:25:59] By God, how can the capital of the nation [00:26:02] fall while the army [00:26:03] is neutral? If the army [00:26:06] is neutral, then why? [00:26:08] When will it abandon neutrality? I mean, [00:26:11] neutral. There was Ali Abdullah Saleh who wanted to [00:26:15] take revenge on his enemies with the Houthis. There were deals [00:26:19] between the sheikhs who I mean, agreed [00:26:23] with the Houthis and said they signed that he is allowed to [00:26:26] pass through the black line, which is the asphalt [00:26:29] road. I said [00:26:32] the parties should not have negotiated while the Houthis [00:26:36] were fighting, but they apologized to him, they apologized [00:26:39] to him. So I told you, I mean, everyone is up to their ears, [00:26:43] and in different proportions. And [00:26:47] I mean, who bears the highest proportion in this? [00:26:49] Of course, clearly, the conference after that [00:26:53] led by Ali Abdullah Saleh, because they allied, [00:26:56] there is no longer any evidence after the alliance. What do you want me to answer [00:27:00] with evidence after he tells you, I mean, we ally, Shiite, Shiite. [00:27:04] They shot them with snipers. Of course, [00:27:08] I do not accuse Ali Abdullah Saleh of being a Houthi, [00:27:11] but it was revenge on his enemies, [00:27:14] and he believed, as he said, [00:27:17] that he was dancing on the heads of snakes. He thought that [00:27:21] he would dance on [00:27:24] this last dance, but the Houthis benefited from [00:27:28] all the existing contradictions. [00:27:38] As soon as he entered Sanaa, he loaded [00:27:40] weapons, tanks, and armored vehicles towards Saada [00:27:44] to empower himself, and his eyes were on [00:27:48] Ali Abdullah Saleh, and Ali Abdullah Saleh was never a Houthi [00:27:51] and he was on the verge of wanting to have them for dinner, but [00:27:54] they had him for lunch before he had them for dinner. Well, what [00:27:58] was the interest of the Minister of Defense in that [00:28:01] he [00:28:03] did not, I mean, the army remained as you said, [00:28:05] neutral? What was the interest of the former [00:28:09] Minister of Defense in neutralizing [00:28:12] the army? Of course, there are hidden hands [00:28:15] and games and coordination. [00:28:19] Of course, his name is Al-Hasani Mohammed [00:28:23] Nasser Ahmed Nasser Ahmed Al-Hasani. Perhaps he has a connection [00:28:26] with the group or they used the name Al-Hasani also, [00:28:30] and by going to visit the Emirates, your country [00:28:33] falls. You visit another country, why? I mean, [00:28:37] so that means, I mean, I don't know this meaning [00:28:41] for you and the viewer and this. No, [00:28:45] unseen, but what we saw was only. I mean, even if [00:28:49] there was an external role, Dr. Professor Muhammad, I mean, even if [00:28:53] there wasn't, how?
