Haytham: The owner of rights never withdraws
The spokesperson for the Southern Transitional Council, Eng. Nizar Haytham, denied what is being circulated on social media and some news websites, about the withdrawal of the Transitional Council’s negotiating delegation from the Riyadh Agreement.
Haytham said in a statement on the official website of the Southern Transitional Council that:
The rightful person never withdraws, and the truth is what Allah Almighty commanded us in the noble book of Quran and in the path of the faithful Messenger peace be upon him.
The south since 1994 has the absolute right to self-determination, and it has the right to freely determine its political status, and to ensure its economic and social development in a manner that it chooses voluntarily without the guardianship of Sana’a.
It is no longer a secret to anyone, that there are great challenges facing our negotiating delegation due to the intransigence of the legitimacy forces that refuse to implement the Riyadh Agreement, despite the unprecedented flexibility that provided throughout presence in Saudi Arabia to enter the negotiation process, but all these positive efforts were met with the intransigence and arrogance of the legitimacy.
We have repeatedly stressed to the Arab coalition and with clear messages the importance of the immediate implementation of the political and economic terms of the agreement, the end of the military build-up, and the media war against the Transitional Council by parties affiliated to legitimacy, and the need to lift the economic blockade of our people.
We affirm that there is no truth to the rumors about the withdrawal of our delegation from the agreement, and that its members are in an ongoing meeting with the President of the Southern Transitional Council to assess the previous period and discuss the mechanism necessary to enter the stage of negotiations in the future, under the gracious patronage of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
