Former Minister on Southern Arab State Proposal
The article discusses the political and military shifts in southern Yemen, focusing on the reconfiguration of the scene and the declining influence of the Southern Transitional Council. It pointed out that January 2026 events were an involuntary attempt to impose a reorganization of the landscape through regional guardianship, aiming to weaken the council and recreate divisions. The article emphasized that the southern cause is not merely an organizational project but a matter of a people and a homeland with historical roots. It also confirmed that the current political path could become a fundamental condition for achieving independence, and that any effort to build a unified front against the Houthis must fundamentally address the Southern issue through a political settlement that recognizes parallel tracks in the north and south, rather than through exclusion or guardianship. Furthermore, it clarified that recent developments have diminished the importance of a comprehensive United Nations solution focused on a single state. The restoration of the South as a sovereign state remains the most prominent project, and it concluded that relying on more effective political and diplomatic tools is essential to achieve that goal, with the necessity of prioritizing the interests of the South to ensure its stability. It also highlighted the importance of deploying its forces outside southern borders to confront the Houthis, once political and military guarantees are secured.
