[00:00:00] that he [00:00:04] them to cancel this means the army remained, as [00:00:06] article and remove it from I said, neutral. What is the interest of the former [00:00:09] Minister of Defense in neutralizing [00:00:12] Yes, in the the army? Of course, there are hidden hands [00:00:16] Al-Shumeiri, who was martyred later in and games and coordination. [00:00:19] Of course, his name [00:00:21] own preparations. We are talking about is Al-Hasani Muhammad Nasser Ahmed Nasser Ahmed Al-Hasani. [00:00:24] Perhaps he had a connection with the group, or they were tickled by the name [00:00:28] Al-Hasani. Also, [00:00:30] as I told you, on Imran falls, he goes to visit the Emirates. Your country falls, you visit another [00:00:49] there was an external role, Dr. Professor Muhammad, I mean, [00:00:52] I mean, calculations were not national from even if there was no external role, how do you go? You are not on a picnic. Your country [00:00:55] is falling, and your capital is collapsing, and you [00:00:58] others from declare that the army [00:01:02] is neutral, and you go to Imran to visit [00:01:05] the militias, and you don't visit Camp [00:01:08] 310, and you didn't visit [00:01:10] the army. [00:01:13] enough capabilities. This does So how is that? I mean, [00:01:16] where is the innocence in that? Yes. Okay, of course, there [00:01:20] might be an external plan, an internal [00:01:22] plan. [00:01:31] is what I lived. I used to live [00:01:33] about the information you have. This [00:01:34] Al-Hammadi paid from as if there was an infiltration. I wrote about Ben Omar that [00:01:37] go? Who was receiving he was engineering the fall of [00:01:39] explosive device. This Sanaa, and he was having lunch with Al-Houthi in Saada. [00:01:43] And his writings at the time about Ben Omar [00:01:46] and that he was a man who came [00:01:49] to hand over [00:01:51] and this the homeland. Also, Mohammed Nasser Ahmed [00:01:55] Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, [00:01:57] that people do not we met him in [00:01:59] forget those Sanaa and we talked to him and told him we want decisions from you. I was [00:02:03] with. I met him and with us [00:02:06] was Professor Yassin Saeed Oman Al-Ansi [00:02:10] Al-Atwani. So he was sitting. I told [00:02:13] him, Your Excellency, we want courageous [00:02:16] decisions from you. This was before Al-Houthi entered [00:02:21] managed to escape another door in [00:02:25] the last speech in the 70s, and the other in [00:02:28] the division. The man from Abyan comes [00:02:30] to rule here. Everyone who passed by my house [00:02:34] made a decision, and the man from Abyan wants [00:02:37] to rule. So, he was a poet [00:02:40] who felt let down by all parties and that he was unstable, [00:02:52] something darker than darkness. I mean, the capital [00:02:56] of your country falls, and there's no resistance. [00:03:00] And everyone is killing it [00:03:02] the internal front is an integral and people are being led [00:03:05] governorate. Okay, before like sheep. And there is no resistance. We used [00:03:08] to believe that the tribes would have a role, and we believed that [00:03:11] the army would retaliate, and we even believed that those [00:03:14] who disagreed with each other in 2011 would unite [00:03:19] communicating, and we communicated with because [00:03:20] Iran. And what everyone I mean, in the 1970 war [00:03:23] in 1967, when Abdel Raqib [00:03:28] and addressed many Abdel Wahab and the uncle [00:03:31] How did you follow this, first of all, were just about to advance, the Imamis [00:03:35] would unite and forget all their differences. So [00:03:38] we said, perhaps I mean, and people are more aware in this [00:03:42] situation, they will unite, [00:03:44] Iran. And what everyone but the division increased, and they betrayed [00:03:47] each other, and they conspired against each other, [00:03:50] and they enabled Al-Houthi to control the necks of the beautiful ones. Many [00:03:53] events took place in the capital, and Al-Houthi entered and expanded in [00:03:57] the capital, then went to Al-Hodeidah governorate and [00:04:01] the governorates [00:04:04] close to [00:04:05] after that, we arranged Sanaa. After that, he tried to move to Taiz [00:04:09] governorate. How did the people of Taiz [00:04:13] governorate resist [00:04:37] to declare our solidarity with Taiz, before I mention the names [00:04:40] and what happened, I tell you, Taiz, [00:04:44] its latent power is in this people, in women, in [00:04:48] decisions instead of this children, and the steadfastness and victory that it achieves for the incubating [00:04:53] I mean, environment, which is perhaps a unique environment at the level [00:04:56] of the entire homeland. I mean, it does not tolerate the Houthi ideology in any [00:04:59] way. Perhaps some hesitated [00:05:02] and reconciled at the beginning because of the Houthi-GPC alliance. [00:05:06] This is not for Al-Houthi, but for the GPC. [00:05:10] When he came (of course, [00:05:13] before he came, there was a preparation [00:05:16] for [00:05:20] the resistance, as I told you), and we used to meet [00:05:23] Sheikh Hammoud and I and Aref Jameh and Al-Dhabli, [00:05:27] and I am not talking about the military. The military [00:05:30] also had their [00:05:34] the popular side. And [00:05:37] there were repeated meetings, and [00:05:40] I had an interview [00:05:43] Yemen Shabab channel, [00:05:46] and I said that Al-Houthi will [00:05:49] make the mistake of a lifetime if he tries to enter Taiz. He [00:05:52] will enter because the people of Taiz were not prepared with heavy [00:05:56] weapons or even personal weapons. [00:05:59] The casualties [00:06:02] affected many, including our [00:06:05] countryman Abdul Sattar Al-Shameeri was injured, and [00:06:10] Al-Sha'n Al-Hammadi who stood firm. [00:06:13] But how was the resistance formed in the early days, and they managed to [00:06:17] stop Al-Houthi from entering the city and storming the city, [00:06:20] despite the fact that the resistance in Taiz governorate was [00:06:30] a great role. Sheikh Hammoud Saeed had a great role, and the Kingdom [00:06:34] of Saudi Arabia, before we knew it, was a supporter, [00:06:38] a supporter, and it supported Sheikh Hammoud and supported this, [00:06:41] and it provided. And Sheikh, as I told you, Adnan [00:06:46] the 35th Brigade with tanks, weapons, [00:06:49] and ammunition, and he granted [00:06:52] and gave these weapons to the resistance, [00:06:55] and also after that, also Youssef Al-Sharaqi [00:06:59] and [00:07:04] there were many personalities. [00:07:07] Moment, it is necessary [00:07:11] who came forward [00:07:14] to resist the Houthi militias. There are many names in Taiz [00:07:17] governorate, including, as I said, Aden Sadiq Al-Dab, Youssef Al-Sharaqi [00:07:21] and Muhammad Al-Awani. Muhammad Al-Awani [00:07:25] was martyred. He was the chief of staff of the 35th Brigade and was one of [00:07:28] the most honest men. Sadiq Sarhan had a great [00:07:31] influence and a say with many leaders. [00:07:35] Then, after that, Brigadier General Abdo Hammoud and Sheikh Abdul [00:07:39] Qader Hail and the activist Muhammad Al-Mahmoudi and [00:07:43] Adnan Ruzaiq, who had a great influence [00:07:56] the Secretary-General of the Nasserite Party was supportive [00:07:59] by the admission of Youssef Al-Sharaji [00:08:02] of establishing [00:08:05] the Al-Dab Front, which is [00:08:07] Abdullah. Yes, the Secretary-General [00:08:11] of the party, Abdullah Nu'man, I mean, and he had [00:08:14] a great role, and the leaders of Islah were [00:08:18] also present in most of the [00:08:21] but the largest and most massive number are [00:08:24] the people and the independent people of Taiz who, [00:08:28] for the first time, look, the parties were in disagreement with [00:08:31] each other, but when Al-Houthi entered, [00:08:35] they all united as one man and were one [00:08:38] front, no difference between them. They forgot their affiliations, [00:08:42] everything, unlike what is happening now. The diseases [00:08:46] have started to reappear and must be treated [00:08:49] and returned. Of course, before that, [00:08:52] we also went down to Aden. You have [00:09:02] Hadi left. No, before Hadi left, [00:09:06] we went down to Aden. And [00:09:09] in support. And another [00:09:13] one came out with us, and we issued a statement and we received Ben [00:09:16] Habtour, and betrayal was seen in his eyes because [00:09:19] he let us read the statement while we [00:09:23] were standing. He says, in danger or after that, [00:09:26] he invited us to stay at his house. [00:09:42] It was before the President came down [00:09:45] a few days before the President left, and we went down [00:09:50] the President and with the President. [00:09:53] He was still in Sana'a, still in. But we were confident that because [00:09:56] the parties and Ben Omar were meeting [00:09:59] with the parties to find [00:10:02] a solution after the President, and the President had finished instead of finding solutions [00:10:05] to get [00:10:21] of support, I mean, and condemnation of what was happening to the President [00:10:25] in Sanaa, and [00:10:26] I mean, [00:10:29] and so that there would be a national meeting [00:10:33] that would sense the dangers that [00:10:36] surround the homeland after Sanaa fell into the hands [00:10:40] of the Houthi militias [00:10:42] and the righteousness of the national project [00:10:46] that we seek according to the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference. Yes. [00:10:50] Okay, if we return to the resistance of Taiz [00:10:52] governorate, I will come to the second stage [00:10:56] when President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi managed to leave [00:10:59] Sanaa and go to Aden [00:11:02] before he moved or headed to the Kingdom of [00:11:05] Saudi Arabia. But there were voices saying [00:11:09] that the Taiz resistance to the Houthi militias [00:11:11] did not receive enough support. Is [00:11:15] this true? The nature of the support that [00:11:19] this resistance received, the parties that [00:11:22] supported this resistance in Taiz. No one supported it [00:11:25] except the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It supported generously and supported. [00:11:29] If it weren't for the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it would have been [00:11:32] I mean, because as I told you, Taiz did not have enough [00:11:35] weapons or [00:11:38] not diminish the courage of the people of Taiz, and [00:11:41] how many areas were supported and that support [00:11:45] did not bear fruit in them. So [00:11:48] Taiz was supported, and that support bore fruit after [00:12:02] this support? Because there are many voices saying [00:12:06] that it did not receive enough support. Look, I [00:12:09] don't have accurate information about the amount of support, but I know that Professor [00:12:13] Hammoud Saeed was the first supported person in [00:12:16] Taiz before the army was formed and there was [00:12:19] also support. And I [00:12:22] was then an official spokesman, [00:12:25] a follower, and we were following up with [00:12:28] our brothers here, and they were dropping ammunition and weapons by parachute [00:12:32] when Taiz was besieged from all directions, [00:12:35] and they did not fall short in what we were appealing to them [00:13:16] were prominent figures. Of course, the idea was [00:13:19] an idea of justice [00:13:22] because the bloc of notables. [00:13:25] Taiz. Brother Aref Jamil, who is now the deputy [00:13:28] governor of Taiz, addressed me and said, "Brother Mohammed, what [00:13:31] do you think? Let's go down to Aden to meet the President and do [00:13:34] something." Our idea was (the idea [00:13:38] initially) and I approved [00:13:41] it, and we started [00:13:44] the governor, Shawqi Shawqi Ahmed [00:13:48] Hail. Shawqi Ahmed Hail was working diligently, but he [00:13:51] was deceived by the military leaders who [00:13:55] showed him loyalty, but at the zero [00:13:58] hour, they told him, "We follow [00:14:01] Sanaa." Okay, before this, [00:14:04] before he arrived, we knew, and the point [00:14:07] of disagreement in our point of view was that these people are liars, and that they [00:14:11] will not fulfill [00:14:12] their promises [00:14:15] to us. What were the promises? That they would not [00:14:19] allow the Houthi militias to enter, and that Taiz [00:14:22] would be spared the conflict. People would stay, [00:14:26] and whoever won after that So, [00:14:30] to go down to Aden. [00:14:33] And prominent figures from outside the bloc, [00:14:36] including Professor Abdullah Nu'man, including [00:14:40] figures from Islah, including and I was (I mean, we were [00:14:44] the ones who arranged) including Brother Muhammad Saif Abdel Latif [00:14:47] and Brother Sadiq Al-Baidani, members of the House of Representatives, [00:14:51] and Brother Ali Al-Maamari and others. And I was the speaker for the [00:14:56] President. When he started [00:14:59] explaining to us how he left, I told him, "Brother President, he has been gone for more than 10 [00:15:03] days. Here, Brother President, Al-Houthi [00:15:05] is issuing statements, dismissing and appointing, and [00:15:08] his illegitimacy. So we want you to go out and address your people, make [00:15:13] silence and this [00:15:18] this stagnation you are in. Go out and address your people [00:15:21] and be frank with them, and the people will be with you, and you are the owner of [00:15:25] even the martyr Tawfiq Al-Shumeiri wrote what [00:15:28] he said and published it in the press, and Al-Himairi said, [00:15:32] "I received it." I called them and said, "We didn't [00:15:35] come down to publish. We came down [00:15:38] to build." So I asked [00:15:43] I mean, Tawfiq attacked you. Do you want not to be attacked? He attacked the President. Yes, [00:15:47] he attacked the President and praised me. [00:15:50] proposal of Tawfiq [00:16:11] it's abandonment or the dispersion and fragmentation that [00:16:15] is happening. Everyone wanted to ambush the other, and everyone [00:16:18] wanted to preserve [00:16:21] their stature and strength, and considered that the battle was not [00:16:25] their battle, and believed, [00:16:44] was like a drug addict those days, but he [00:16:48] I mean, he showed [00:16:51] that, but they did not give him time. On the same [00:16:55] day, while we were in Aden, the planes moved to bomb him, [00:16:58] and on the third day, he relied on [00:17:29] I mean, after a few days, Al-Houthi entered the Central Security. We went down. [00:17:32] Al-Houthi did not enter Taiz. He entered the Central Security. [00:17:36] Of course, we used to meet. And Houthi representatives inside Taiz used [00:17:39] to meet. We met at the Cultural [00:17:43] Club. [00:17:46] And we all agreed and met with a strong [00:17:49] word to the governor of the governorate, [00:17:53] Shawqi [00:17:56] Hail Saeed Shawqi Ahmed Hail, who [00:17:59] I mean, spoke that Taiz would only be with the Republic and would not allow [00:18:03] the entry [00:18:05] of the militias and that Taiz must be spared this conflict, [00:18:08] and the Houthi [00:18:10] representatives withdrew, among them Muqaddas, the governor [00:18:14] of the governorate, Shawqi [00:18:18] Hail Saeed Shawqi Ahmed Hail, who [00:18:23] the Republic and would not allow the entry [00:18:27] of the militias and that Taiz must be spared this conflict, [00:18:30] and the Houthi [00:18:32] representatives withdrew, among them [00:18:35] Muqaddas. steadfast. Taiz is attributed [00:18:39] to the people of Taiz [00:18:47] days ago, there was a speech by the governor of Taiz [00:18:50] governorate, Al-Maamari, which provoked the anger [00:18:53] of some and was also praised [00:18:56] by others. How did you follow this? I mean, he talked [00:18:59] a lot about the details of the resistance and the situation [00:19:02] of Taiz governorate [00:19:05] issues and events. [00:19:34] I mean, but Al-Maamari is still a resistor. [00:19:37] I mean, a national man and he has [00:19:40] a stance from the first [00:20:41] and this is attributed to him, [00:20:45] and so on, but he also had [00:23:18] At this historical national moment, with the launch [00:23:22] of Operation Dawn of Yemen under the directives of [00:23:25] His Excellency the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, [00:23:28] the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and Security, [00:23:31] Dr. Rashad Muhammad Al-Alimi, we salute with great pride [00:23:35] and appreciation the enormous sacrifices [00:23:38] and immortal heroic deeds and historical [00:23:41] epics that our heroes of the armed forces and security [00:23:45] and popular resistance are writing in various fields [00:23:48] and fronts. We affirm that protecting [00:23:52] part of Operation Dawn of Yemen, [00:23:55] where our heroes in the security agencies are fighting a continuous [00:23:59] battle that has not stopped for a single [00:24:02] moment in confronting the terrorist schemes [00:24:06] of the Houthi militias supported by [00:24:10] must know is that we are fighting a battle with [00:24:14] the Houthi militias, the terrorist [00:24:16] behavior that caused the war in Yemen, where [00:24:20] our heroes in the security agencies are fighting a continuous [00:24:22] battle that has not stopped for a single [00:24:26] moment in confronting the terrorist schemes [00:24:29] of the Houthi militias supported by [00:24:34] must know is that we are fighting a battle with [00:24:37] the Houthi militias, the terrorist [00:24:40] behavior, the terrorist behavior and the IRGC [00:24:44] and Hezbollah, starting from [00:24:47] methods of recruitment and mobilization to training [00:24:50] and manufacturing, including booby traps and explosive [00:24:53] devices and various types of weapons that they possess, as [00:24:57] we obtained information during investigations with elements [00:25:01] of Houthi cells that were seized [00:25:04] information indicating that these elements received training [00:25:08] courses on carrying out terrorist schemes [00:25:11] and planting bleeding explosive devices [00:25:14] and detonators and carrying out suicide [00:25:17] operations at the hands of IRGC [00:25:20] and Hezbollah experts, [00:25:24] many governorates occupied by [00:25:27] the Houthis. Investigations also revealed that the specialized [00:25:31] courses for the elements [00:25:34] of these cells are held in Saada [00:25:37] governorate under the supervision of advanced Iranian experts [00:25:39] in the field of terrorist work. [00:25:42] The last of these seized cells [00:25:45] at the end of last month in September was a very complex [00:25:50] Houthi network consisting of 18 [00:25:53] terrorist elements and directly supervised [00:25:56] by the terrorist called Amjad Khaled and with him [00:26:00] the terrorist leader Ahmed Jarib, appointed by [00:26:03] the Houthi militias as governor of [00:26:07] Lahj governorate. It received training courses in [00:26:10] more than one occupied governorate, and the training [00:26:14] period for some courses reached five months. [00:26:17] And the militias had [00:26:20] harnessed huge capabilities for this network [00:26:24] and placed great hopes [00:26:27] on it to carry out its terrorist schemes in [00:26:30] Aden and Abyan governorates. However, those [00:26:34] schemes failed, and the network [00:26:37] met the same fate as the terrorist [00:26:41] cells that preceded it. We also [00:26:44] assure everyone that despite the unlimited [00:26:47] support provided by the terrorist Houthi [00:26:51] militias to these cells and the direct supervision of [00:26:55] Iranian Revolutionary Guard experts and Hezbollah on [00:26:59] training. [00:27:21] And this is in the form of a rocky mountain. [00:27:24] And these [00:27:31] batteries [00:27:37] This is the first [00:27:41] is the second [00:27:42] explosive device. [00:27:46] And this indicates that the devices [00:27:48] and batteries, the devices and batteries [00:27:51] and the wires [00:27:58] are disguised [00:28:00] as a stone.
