The article discusses the evolution of political and military awareness in southern Yemen, where Southerners have begun adopting a "new Southern doctrine" that emphasizes prioritizing the interests of the south. Initially, the Southerners believed in their alliance with Saudi Arabia and fought on frontlines both domestically and abroad to defend regional security, believing that their sacrifices would lead to political rights and genuine participation in decision-making. However, over time, as the balance of power and alliances shifted, a gap emerged between what they contributed and what they received politically, especially after their forces were hit by strikes from the very coalition they relied on. This led to feelings of betrayal and a loss of trust. Consequently, the concept of the "new Southern doctrine" emerged, focusing on the idea that any decision should serve the interests of the south first, with an independent reassessment of relationships with regional alliances, emphasizing the south's right to self-determination, security, and border protection. This reflects a shift in political awareness and a change in the culture of engagement with partnerships and alliances. This transformation does not reject regional cooperation but calls for greater independence and conditions rooted in national interests.
