Brother Officers, Petty Officers and Soldiers of the Southern Army and Security Troops in Lahj, we are here to demand our pensions as the main income to our families that are manipulated by the so-called legitimacy authorities as they pay these pensions in a wired moody way without any sense of consciousness. It is supposed that these authorities are to fulfill their duties towards as amid these deteriorated economic conditions and high prices of goods but they did the opposite. Our clear proof is halting our pensions for three months in 2016, six months in 2017 and finally two months in 2018 as if we have no families to support.
Therefore, we raise our public anger to authorities through their representatives in Lahj, General Ahmed Abdullah Al-Turkey, governor of Lahj. Ti them we say that we are fed up with these conditions.
We call you, in the name of military comradeship and honor, to support us in our cause and to help us receive our pensions. We notify you we have an escalation plan but we will give you one week to solve this issue. If not, we will start with closing all public services and governmental offices then school, public and private, banks, exchange offices and finally we will block the main road in front of transportations all over the governorate. We suffered a lot and after that you can blame yourselves.
