Al-Bahsani: South Resists Houthi Pressure
The Deputy Head of the Southern Transitional Council, Major General Fadhel Saalmin Al-Bahsani, affirmed that the South will not be broken or surrender to the missiles and threats posed by the Houthi militia. He emphasized that the cities of Aden, Hadramout, Shabwa, Al Dhalea, Ibb, and Bab el-Mandeb will remain steadfast in the face of any attempts at intimidation or attempts to impose facts on the ground through force. He stated that the land of the South has its men, its history, and that its people deeply understand the meaning of defending dignity and sovereignty. He pointed out that targeting the Houthis with missiles and drones requires strengthening air defense systems and unifying military and security efforts. He confirmed that the battle cannot be won with missiles alone and that the geography of southern Yemen calls for precise military calculations. He made it clear that the Houthis will not be able to invade the South and that they will be broken against the walls of southern areas, warning against complacency in air defenses, especially after targeting the Al-Daba port and disrupting oil exports. Additionally, he noted that efforts to enhance readiness have not been sufficient due to the Yemeni leadership's preoccupation with internal issues and corruption, which allowed the Houthis to invest time in developing their military capabilities, despite the need to hold officials accountable and correct course. In conclusion, Al-Bahsani reaffirmed that the people are capable of resilience, and that the national will has always been the force that prevents the land from falling. While missiles may target facilities, they will not break the will of the people of the South or subjugate them. The security, sovereignty, and dignity of the South are red lines that must not be tolerated. The aggressor will find no land left unprotected; instead, they will face a steadfast people and ready men prepared for action.
