00:00:00is some concern
00:00:02this
00:00:09well prepared for it. And also our battle in
00:00:19all fronts are now, for example, in How do you respond to them regarding
00:00:30there was some kind of are working in that took place in
00:00:37Welcome, when fronts move, these battles usually do not
00:00:40war maps do not remain as they are. From Taiz, Marib,
00:00:44and Al-Jawf to the western coast, a battle expands,
00:00:47and government forces move to regain
00:00:51they will be forced to disclose the results of this initiative and territory. Meanwhile, Houthi militias
00:00:54push more of
00:00:56there are many events in their fighters to the
00:00:57the Houthi militias? And I ask this front lines. But what happened in Mocha defeated the field
00:01:00and brought questions of responsibility to
00:01:03the forefront. What happened, how
00:01:06did it happen, and what are the potential consequences later?
00:01:13and many people do not regard, but Talking about Mocha leads directly to Bab al-Mandab, one of the most important
00:01:18the Houthi militias' ability to Mocha maritime passages in the world, where the battle calculations are no longer solely Yemeni, but have come to
00:01:21affect the security of the Red Sea and international navigation. So what after
00:01:25who have this concern? In the end, Mocha, and what are the field and military developments, and are
00:01:28we living through a
00:01:31the various fronts, starting from
00:01:31We heard and followed many comprehensive confrontation, or has the real battle not
00:01:34to control yet begun? Questions
00:01:35the strip, I believe that it is we put directly to our guest, Assistant Minister of Defense
00:01:39for International
00:01:41drones, and it also has heroes on Cooperation, Major General
00:01:44the latest information in this Dr. Samir Al-Sabri. Let's go to this report and then we'll come back to you. Stay with us.
00:01:52the eastern direction
00:02:00Along the Yemeni fronts, military operations
00:02:03are expanding, while the Houthi militia is pushing more of
00:02:07its fighters into battles that are draining its ranks
00:02:10in an attempt to change the balance
00:02:13and this attack of power on the ground. But the field imposes
00:02:15another equation. Government forces are expanding
00:02:19calling, that is, calling on their operations on more than one axis and are moving
00:02:22to retake positions,
00:02:24bodies in the cut supply routes,
00:02:26deserts. Also in Al-Jawf, and strike Houthi movements in a battle
00:02:28whose title is regaining the initiative. In Taiz, Houthi attempts
00:02:32have been broken since the first beginnings
00:02:35of the war. The city that resisted the Houthis
00:02:39for years is returning its fronts
00:02:42are in Dhamar and not in
00:02:43its narrative in to the forefront of operations. Military movements, counter-attacks,
00:02:47and regaining positions,
00:02:49to repeat what happened in while the Taiz axis announced inflicting losses on the Houthis
00:02:52and forcing the attacking forces to retreat. In
00:02:56Marib and Al-Jawf, other fronts are moving,
00:03:00echelons in this and operations are targeting
00:03:02Houthi positions and movements at a time when
00:03:06government forces are seeking to expand the scope
00:03:10of field pressure. As for the western coast, the weight
00:03:14of the battle reaches beyond the front lines.
00:03:18of Kahboub, which controls Mocha returns to Bab al-Mandab, and Bab
00:03:21al-Mandab places the battle at the gate of the Red Sea and international
00:03:24navigation. Fronts are moving,
00:03:27operations are expanding,
00:03:30say. I tell you that despite this and a battle that the
00:03:31The bodies of the Houthis are scattered in government says its goal transcends managing contact lines
00:03:34to regaining territory and state institutions
00:03:39our brothers in and extending its sovereignty over all national soil.
00:03:46regaining or this therefore, this
00:03:53Welcome, dear viewers. Our special
00:03:57nine tank battalions. This coverage continues in light of the developments and events that our
00:04:01and their fear of it leaving this country is witnessing. Our discussion in this episode
00:04:03is about the military and field developments on all fronts with my guest here in
00:04:08we have heard a lot of such the studio, Major General Dr. Samir
00:04:10Sabri, Assistant Minister of Defense for International Cooperation.
00:04:14Welcome again, Mr. May God bless you. Okay,
00:04:17Major General, let me start directly with
00:04:20the most prominent news and the most
00:04:23in Taiz or in prominent event that was the subject of debate for everyone. Yesterday,
00:04:26the capital, Sanaa, witnessed
00:04:29an event described as a qualitative
00:04:32and important event inside Sanaa. The Houthi militias
00:04:35are trying to cover up this event, and I ask
00:04:39forces and then leaving them in here what happened in the capital
00:04:42and in the rest of the areas in Sanaa? Thank you, my dear brother, and also
00:04:44to Yemen Channel, the channel of all
00:04:46with us tonight in Yemenis. Let me first
00:04:49confirm what we said earlier, that surprises
00:04:53have spoken a lot about this will continue to fall on the Houthi militias, and I believe that they have not
00:04:56yet understood that this war is a war
00:05:00different from all previous wars. The war will be
00:05:03comprehensive, and its basis is to return to
00:05:08and fight any battle with Sanaa, and the military's basis in the field is to win or
00:05:11die. What happened, perhaps,
00:05:14there is no need to mention many of its details,
00:05:18but we say that the
00:05:21fire reached the capital, Sanaa, and this in itself
00:05:25is the most prominent introduction that
00:05:28all Yemeni people should know,
00:05:31and the Houthis should understand it well.
00:05:35Today, our battle is not an independent battle
00:05:38for a certain front, but rather a comprehensive battle, as you said.
00:05:43It must reach Sanaa, and it must be from Sanaa, even if the journey is long.
00:05:46Yes, that means that a military event occurred
00:05:50in Sanaa. The news indicated that there was a security incident
00:05:53that the Houthi militias are trying to cover up and obscure.
00:05:56It really happened. It really happened,
00:06:00and soon
00:06:03act. Good. Okay,
00:06:09the field and huge developments, and we here from the channel
00:06:12congratulate the heroes who are fighting and writing a battle
00:06:16on all fronts against the Houthi militias, and we will come to
00:06:19many details in this
00:06:22Major General, let me go back a little to what happened in
00:06:27and ask how the city of Mocha
00:06:30or the western coast
00:06:34of Taiz governorate
00:06:37fell, and also the details of what happened and the arrival of Houthi militias to
00:06:41Bab al-Mandab.
00:06:44statements that talk about the legitimate government
00:06:46conducting an investigation into this matter,
00:06:50and you also have a statement in The Independent
00:06:53Arabic about this matter. What is
00:06:56regard? In any case, I do not
00:07:00always like to talk much about a topic
00:07:03whose results we have
00:07:06now understood. Regarding identifying
00:07:09who caused it and the reason,
00:07:13I believe this is a matter related to
00:07:16the presidency and the state leadership, the Ministry of Defense, and the General
00:07:20Staff. Things are going well. Let's not dwell too much on such
00:07:23matters, because this is the nature of battles and the nature
00:07:27of war. Who made a mistake, who was right? These are matters
00:07:30determined by official bodies, and also these bodies
00:07:34will ultimately tell the wrongdoer that he made a mistake and the good doer that he did well.
00:07:37We do not claim perfection. We fight,
00:07:40and fighting is another matter. It's different from talking,
00:07:44different from journalism, and different from anything else. Fighting
00:07:47is a field that imposes its details
00:07:51and imposes its agenda and imposes
00:07:55the field. So this issue, perhaps,
00:07:59I believe we should leave it
00:08:02to the responsible and competent authorities, and they are the ones who will say
00:08:06who did wrong and who did well, and who made a mistake
00:08:09and who was right. Okay, technically and tactically,
00:08:12also, that is, to be precise in terminology, technically,
00:08:16the Ministry of Defense was able to
00:08:18manage what happened
00:08:22and absorb the shock that occurred in Mocha.
00:08:25Now, the battles are raging on the heights
00:08:30Mocha, Bab al-Mandab, and the entire region.
00:08:33And the forces are fighting valiantly today
00:08:36in this chain, and they have taken most of this chain, and God willing,
00:08:40they will complete it.
00:08:44the valleys and on the hills, and
00:08:47they are still throwing their children and the children of
00:08:50the tribes into the inferno. Many leaders were killed,
00:08:54and they were forced to announce some of them, and they did not announce
00:08:57the rest. The issue is related
00:09:00to it being a battle, and this battle is not just, as we say,
00:09:03a rollover, it is also victory and defeat. And history
00:09:07tells us everything
00:09:10that happens on the ground. Perhaps we have
00:09:14heard and known it, and we as military personnel fully
00:09:17realize that victory sometimes comes
00:09:21from the depths of defeat. Victory comes when
00:09:24morale returns and the army returns
00:09:27with this strength and this spirit with which
00:09:30it fights in Al-Kadha front
00:09:35Al-Waz'iyah or on the outskirts of Mocha city
00:09:39or even in Al-Bayda, and in Marib, and in Al-Jawf, and in
00:09:42Al-Dhalea, and in Maris. The entire battle
00:09:46is now ongoing, and therefore if we want to look, we will look at the battle
00:09:49broadly and completely. Everyone is working,
00:09:52and morale is very, very, very high. I have not
00:09:55spoken to any front without them saying that the morale
00:09:59of the people is high and that victory is necessary. And here I ask what after
00:10:02Mocha? What after the setback of Mocha or the fall of Mocha? After
00:10:06the setback of Mocha is the return to organizing
00:10:10the ranks and working in a
00:10:12good, orderly, organized, and professional manner.
00:10:16And thank God, I assure you that people are now working with the spirit
00:10:20I just mentioned. Yes, okay, Major General, allow me this question. There
00:10:25from some who see a slowness in
00:10:28the process
00:10:32of dealing with things. What
00:10:35do you say to those who today believe
00:10:38that there
00:10:40is some slowness?
00:10:44dealing with matters and events? Arabs used to say,
00:10:47"He who sees is not like he who hears." Battle and war are
00:10:51blood and dismembered bodies
00:10:54and I say
00:10:56that
00:11:00easily change or describe whether there is a delay
00:11:03or an advance or the fall of a position or even the fall of a district. This is
00:11:07a battle, and the most important thing in a battle is to define
00:11:11its main lines, and we have defined its main lines, as His Excellency
00:11:15the President of the Republic, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, confirmed by entrusting the army
00:11:18with regaining state institutions, foremost among them
00:11:21the capital, Sanaa, and also Saada Governorate. Yes, okay, regarding this
00:11:25news, we also followed a lot. As I said,
00:11:29things are not
00:11:32as slow as they sometimes
00:11:35appear,
00:11:38know the details, but those who follow the news
00:11:41and update their information realize that there
00:11:44is a big battle being fought on a large geographical
00:11:48strip, and therefore we ask today what are the latest
00:11:52military developments on
00:11:56Al-Kadha, also passing
00:11:59through Al-Madharib district
00:12:02and what is happening in this important
00:12:05geographical area and Al-Waz'iyah also? In any case,
00:12:08it is not only these fronts, but also at all
00:12:12levels. As for the situation, I told you that we are now, at
00:12:16this very moment we are speaking, there is a fierce battle being fought on what
00:12:19remains of the Kahboub mountains and hills, which
00:12:23controls Bab al-Mandab Strait, and which
00:12:26with medium weapons can
00:12:29deal even with Mayyun Island.
00:12:32But also in Al-Waz'iyah,
00:12:35the fighting spirit and the return of people
00:12:39and their organization, and the battle has become orderly
00:12:41and good, and it is certain that these groups
00:12:45will fall, although they are sacrificing huge numbers of people,
00:12:49but we affirm that no matter
00:12:52what, those with will and those with right must win. I believe the battle
00:12:56today is being fought in a good, organized,
00:12:59and orderly manner. Perhaps I do not claim that we
00:13:03are perfect in that, but we can say it is better than any time
00:13:06before, and the shock has been absorbed, and now
00:13:10the spirit of the battle is being
00:13:12restored, and it is actually working in the field. Indeed, the battles in
00:13:16all the places you mentioned are currently ongoing. And even
00:13:20if I tell you that we have reached such and such, perhaps we have gone beyond that,
00:13:23or perhaps we have retreated a little. This is
00:13:27a battle, but the most important thing in this battle is
00:13:30to reach the morale that affirms
00:13:33and insists on achieving victory. Yes, and I also ask you
00:13:37here how you have also noticed
00:13:40and how you view and evaluate today
00:13:44the morale and the progress of the battles in
00:13:47these different fronts, starting, and I am talking here
00:13:51about the importance of this region, the Taiz front, especially
00:13:55the western side. How does
00:13:58the situation look? As for the city of
00:14:02Taiz itself, it
00:14:05has been surrounded from all
00:14:08directions for more than ten years. And there were very large
00:14:12brigades that perhaps contributed, the 22nd
00:14:15Mechanized Brigade, which had more
00:14:18than
00:14:22brigade and the reserve brigade and the ones that
00:14:25were present are perhaps the ones that used
00:14:29all their capabilities to besiege Taiz. But I
00:14:33am talking about this long time during which these forces were unable
00:14:36to advance one inch. And today, perhaps
00:14:40now, the tenth attack was launched from all fronts,
00:14:43and it did not break, but sometimes some fronts advanced in
00:14:47some areas.
00:14:50As for the
00:14:53western side of the governorate, and by that I mean what is currently
00:14:57on the coast, the people are fighting
00:15:00in Taiz and will lift the siege, God willing, and their eyes are also on
00:15:03completing the battle in Mocha
00:15:07Al-Kadha and Mocha and Mawza and all the areas
00:15:10that the Houthi group controlled. The Houthi group was present
00:15:14a short while ago. Years ago, it was present in Mocha and
00:15:18Bab al-Mandab and Mawza and Aden, and it returned to
00:15:21Hodeidah, and then it was going to return to Sanaa. The issue is
00:15:25a battle, and then things, God willing, will move
00:15:28towards what is better, and I believe that
00:15:32the role of the brothers has become clear in the matter
00:15:36that they decided that
00:15:40performance should be in harmony with what
00:15:43the Yemeni issue requires and the interest of the Yemeni people. Okay, the battle
00:15:46is being conducted according to the plans
00:15:50planned by the Ministry of Defense. Major General,
00:15:53now let me tell you that
00:15:56the western side. Now, the Fourth Military
00:15:59Region Command is working and also specialized officers
00:16:04operations and managing battles on the ground.
00:16:07The matter has not become haphazard.
00:16:11Even the resistance is working in an organized manner within
00:16:14the framework of army battalions and army brigades. Yes, okay, we also followed
00:16:18news a few days ago that there was a launch of an operation
00:16:21to retake the Dhubab area and that
00:16:25this front stopped. Is this information accurate or not
00:16:29correct? No, it stopped. I don't think it's accurate,
00:16:32but we did not advance after completing
00:16:35this district. In any case, as I told you,
00:16:39the matter is a matter of
00:16:42time, and victory, as they say, is an hour of patience. Okay, there is also a fear
00:16:45of, and this also goes back to the previous question about
00:16:48the slowness, as some put it.
00:16:52There is a fear of
00:16:56entrench themselves in the coastal strip. How do we reassure
00:16:59those
00:17:03those who came to the
00:17:06Mocha Governorate and so on from the edges of the Republic
00:17:13difficult for them to remain there. And we insist today,
00:17:17tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, that they must return
00:17:20to their caves in Saada,
00:17:23not just their caves in Saada, but rather
00:17:26they must return from where they came. Okay, let me
00:17:29move to another front. There are also warnings
00:17:33that we followed today about huge and large mobilizations
00:17:35heading towards Marib Governorate by
00:17:39the Houthi militias. What is also happening on the borders
00:17:42of Marib Governorate? Let me tell you that, for example, in
00:17:46the Al-Balq Al-Sharqi area, this is perhaps the fifth attack in two weeks,
00:17:50was broken five times, and the Houthi suffered heavy losses
00:17:54to the extent that he started
00:17:57the government forces to allow him to retrieve the scattered
00:18:03the forces were rearranged, equipped, and
00:18:07deployed towards the Seventh
00:18:10Military Region. All matters are progressing well. Let me say,
00:18:14as a military man, that if the battle continues in this manner,
00:18:18I believe, God willing, that victory will be our ally. Yes, there are
00:18:21also those who say that the Houthi militias are trying
00:18:26Mocha
00:18:29in Marib Governorate through a massive
00:18:31mobilization and also
00:18:35an arrangement of massive
00:18:38governorate. That is, what is the readiness
00:18:41of the army to deal with these echelons and also
00:18:44with this mobilization carried out by the Houthi
00:18:47terrorist militias? Of course, regarding
00:18:50the mobilization, it's not today. It has been ongoing
00:18:53for a very long time. The Houthis' eyes are on
00:18:57oil sources, and they deprive the rest
00:19:00of Yemenis of what they can benefit from in terms of salaries
00:19:04so that everyone becomes without salaries. But let me
00:19:08mobilization, I remind you of a previous mobilization that was more
00:19:11powerful and perhaps included specialized battalions
00:19:15that came from Iraq, and that came from Lebanon, and that came from Iran. Death battalions,
00:19:19Hussein's battalions. All of these ended at
00:19:23the borders of Marib, and I believe this other
00:19:26gathering will end at the borders of Marib. Marib has
00:19:29come to represent the Republic and not Marib Governorate,
00:19:33just as Taiz and Mocha
00:19:35and Al-Dhalea and
00:19:38Al-Bayda have all come to represent a block called the Republic of Yemen.
00:19:41Yes, that means that the Ministry of Defense is fully aware
00:19:45of all plans and also of all
00:19:47that the Houthi militias are preparing
00:19:51and planning for in Marib Governorate. It is confirmed, and I believe that
00:19:54the work has even become today not resistance work, but rather
00:19:58organized army work with plans moving
00:20:01and working by encirclement and outflanking and managing the battle,
00:20:04and the forces have advanced in all fronts, almost, Al-Jawf, and in
00:20:08Al-Labanat, and in Al-Balq Al-Sharqi, and in all fronts. Yes,
00:20:12not a very big advance, but it is a good advance,
00:20:16and also all other attacks have been repelled to return
00:20:19to their previous positions. Yes, I find it a good opportunity for you to be
00:20:24the studio, and therefore I have many questions, and on the occasion
00:20:28of Al-Jawf, I also ask what is also happening
00:20:31today in Al-Jawf Governorate, and is it true that the battle
00:20:35there has also stopped or not, because there are those who also demand
00:20:38opening many fronts at
00:20:42one time to ease the pressure and also
00:20:45to engage these Houthi militias. What happened in
00:20:49Al-Jawf Governorate? Nothing unexpected happened. It was
00:20:52an advance. The forces advanced a very large area,
00:20:56and because it is an open desert, the forces returned to rearrange
00:20:59themselves in fortified positions
00:21:02and are ready to attack again.
00:21:05There was no major defeat, and even the retreat was an organized
00:21:09retreat to rearrange the forces,
00:21:12and I assure you that the
00:21:15forces are in good readiness, and their return will be more fortunate
00:21:19soon, God willing. As for the fronts, I believe this, God willing, will be the next surprise
00:21:23for the Houthis. All fronts of
00:21:26the Republic must be opened. Okay, we noticed that
00:21:29among the factors we noticed in this
00:21:32last battle fought by the forces, the armed forces,
00:21:36was the entry of air power. And I also ask here, Major
00:21:39General, does
00:21:42the army today possess the modern military equipment that
00:21:46can confront the Houthi militias with their Iranian weapons?
00:21:51Have they been able to acquire it? Is the army ready today
00:21:55to fight a comprehensive battle against
00:21:59the Houthi militias? In terms of readiness, the army is ready, and
00:22:02in terms of readiness and armament, and also the entry of fighter
00:22:05aircraft, and also the entry of drone aircraft, perhaps this
00:22:09disrupted many of the Houthi's calculations, who wanted to go to
00:22:13areas and to governorates to occupy them
00:22:16and reach the coast of Aden
00:22:19again. But unfortunately, or rather,
00:22:23to its misfortune, the army is ready, and it has
00:22:26striking and very effective air power, and it has
00:22:31the ground who achieve victory. Things have changed
00:22:35and shifted, and perhaps
00:22:37our surprises
00:22:41for the Houthi enemy are still ongoing, and perhaps every day
00:22:44will bring something new. Yesterday, the drone flew
00:22:48over the capital, Sanaa, and tomorrow something else. Okay,
00:22:51Al-Bayda is also an important front and an important
00:22:55governorate, and it
00:22:57is a governorate that does not constitute any incubator for the Houthi militias. What about
00:23:01Al-Bayda Governorate and what about the front also
00:23:04in Al-Bayda Governorate? The front in Al-Bayda Governorate has advanced well
00:23:08and in an organized manner, but until now,
00:23:11until now, other matters
00:23:15are being arranged, perhaps related to
00:23:18the tribal aspect and the military aspect. And there is
00:23:21really a good management of the battle,
00:23:24and
00:23:27perhaps, God willing, we will be surprised that our forces
00:23:32Al-Bayda. We hope for that,
00:23:34and God willing, we can reach not only Dhamar
00:23:38but also Sanaa. But there are also those who
00:23:42ask, and you also had a statement in this regard,
00:23:45about the comprehensive battle that
00:23:48reaches Sanaa and knocks on the doors
00:23:51of Sanaa. Are we today facing
00:23:55the opening of a battle and a comprehensive
00:23:58open front
00:23:59to
00:24:02crush the Houthi militias and end this rebellion,
00:24:06or are we dealing according to specific
00:24:10plans and specific events
00:24:13and specific battles and fronts? I believe,
00:24:16regarding the strategy and vision and narrative that we
00:24:20as an army hope for, it is the directives of His Excellency
00:24:23the President of the Republic, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Dr.
00:24:27Rashad Al-Alimi, who entrusted the army
00:24:30with regaining all state institutions. And
00:24:36return, how will it be? The army is capable
00:24:40of arranging the matters of battle management,
00:24:43and now, by the grace of God, almost all
00:24:46fronts have become
00:24:49largely disciplined. They are managed by
00:24:52one command, and this indicates that we are looking for a broad
00:24:56battle. Perhaps we have not opened all fronts yet,
00:24:59but perhaps they will open soon. Yes, this is everyone's
00:25:02question, Major General, and allow me to ask it: why hasn't
00:25:06a comprehensive battle against
00:25:09the Houthi militias been declared until this
00:25:12moment? I believe the battle has become
00:25:16semi-comprehensive, but there are still certain directions that are still
00:25:20being studied as to how these directions will move and how to achieve
00:25:23better results. Ultimately, we are not concerned with just pushing
00:25:29the desert. We must talk about or carry out
00:25:32organized, orderly, military, and professional work, and therefore any advance must
00:25:36be accounted for and how to secure it and how to
00:25:38manage it. Yes, what is happening now is that the battle
00:25:42is considered an open and comprehensive battle, and God willing, it will not end except in
00:25:46Sanaa. Yes, there is also an important question, Major General. Some say
00:25:50why not launch or why allow the Houthi militias
00:25:54to choose the time and place to open
00:25:58the army? With the armed forces,
00:26:01perhaps this was in the past, but today we also choose the time
00:26:04and place, and you can realize that our battle in Al-Bayda
00:26:08surprised the Houthis, and they were not
00:26:12Al-Dhalea started with an attack, and also our battle in
00:26:15Marib. All three military regions
00:26:18attacked and did not wait for the Houthis to decide when
00:26:22the battle would be, and they reached good results, and we
00:26:25still say that even the battle
00:26:29Mocha, perhaps
00:26:32gaps that perhaps affected the fronts
00:26:36and led to the fall of some positions and the fall of some fronts,
00:26:39but ultimately, generally speaking,
00:26:43we can say that now we choose how to manage
00:26:46the battle, and we will not stop it. We said that the Houthis started the war, but
00:26:50we will end it, God willing. Yes, God willing. Okay, there is also
00:26:53a question: is it possible at this time to talk about any truce with
00:26:59question because there is media
00:27:02affiliated with or close to the Houthi militias talking in this direction.
00:27:06Is it possible to talk about a truce with the Houthi militias at this moment and at
00:27:09this time? I call on everyone not to follow
00:27:13rumors and also the media battle that
00:27:16the Houthis are waging. Of course, the Houthis always, if
00:27:20they gain a position, immediately go and seek a truce
00:27:23and activate the UN envoy and activate all
00:27:26external tools. We say that
00:27:29the truce is for this group to return to
00:27:33its senses and hand over all its weapons to the state and return to being a political
00:27:36party. Otherwise, I believe any truce will affect Yemenis in general. Yes,
00:27:40okay, let me return again to Taiz Governorate, and Taiz Governorate needs
00:27:44to be discussed extensively, whether about what is happening today in terms of
00:27:48fierce and strong battles towards the coast and towards
00:27:52the west, or inside the city in
00:27:55and the rest of the other fronts.
00:27:57Everyone is demanding
00:28:01reinforcement for these fronts and armament for these
00:28:04fronts in Taiz Governorate and liberating the governorate
00:28:07to secure also the coastal strip. Let's also not
00:28:10say that full support and the required support
00:28:14have been provided, but the state has fulfilled its duty, and also
00:28:17the brothers have fulfilled their duty, and we
00:28:20hope and wish that the support will be more than that because ultimately, Taiz
00:28:23front is a pivotal central front, not
00:28:27only for the coast and the western strip and Bab al-Mandab, but also for
00:28:30All of Yemen knows that Taiz is the one that brought down the imamate and the one that
00:28:34brought down the priesthood, and perhaps it will have a strong and
00:28:37active role in bringing down this new
00:28:41priesthood, which is the terrorist Houthi group. Yes, has the day come
00:28:44or has the opportunity come today
00:28:47for يعني to regain
00:28:51control of Taiz governorate
00:28:55and what can
00:28:57I say? Taiz governorate must be liberated. Has the day come for justice for this governorate
00:29:01and its liberation? It has suffered a lot throughout
00:29:05the past period. Have you,
00:29:08as a leadership in the Ministry of Defense and as
00:29:11a supreme leadership also in the armed forces
00:29:14and political leadership, realized the necessity of liberating the governorate today
00:29:18and the importance
00:29:22of this governorate for its complete liberation? The truth is, it's not just us,
00:29:25whether it's the political leadership, His Excellency the President,
00:29:29and the Presidential Leadership Council, or the Minister of Defense, or the Chief of Staff.
00:29:32I say this and I am
00:29:36aware of it. Everyone confirms that this
00:29:39governorate is pivotal, and also
00:29:41the coalition in the Kingdom
00:29:44are aware that this governorate is the nucleus, perhaps it will be
00:29:48the nucleus from which all fronts
00:29:51will open. Of course, its sons, due to their large numbers, are present almost in
00:29:55all fronts of the republic completely. But in terms
00:29:58of its siege, the Houthis realize the importance of this governorate
00:30:03square, because if it leaves, it will expand and its sons will not stop
00:30:07at the borders of Taiz governorate. Yes, but
00:30:10talk and such statements throughout the previous period.
00:30:14Has the time changed today and
00:30:16has the decision been taken to liberate
00:30:20the governorate? I assure you that the situation has changed
00:30:23and the support, God willing, will be good. It
00:30:27has started, but it will be completed, and by God's
00:30:30will, this governorate will show us,
00:30:33as you say, from its strength
00:30:36and from its heroes what will please the hearts
00:30:39of all Yemenis. Okay, I will also move to another topic
00:30:43and I want your explanation for the escalation
00:30:45carried out by the Houthi militias towards the Kingdom
00:30:49of Saudi Arabia and the targeting of many cities. What is your explanation for this
00:30:52matter? I
00:30:55issue.
