SMA NEWS – ATAQ

Thousands of people from the districts of Shabwa governorate, on Saturday, rallied in the city of Ataq, in response to the call of the local leadership of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in the governorate to express their rejection of the declaration of any Yemeni political components in the South and its return to hold activities in the governorate again.

In the rally, the head of the Executive Body of the Local Leadership of the Southern Transitional Council in Shabwa, Brigadier Ali Al-Jabwani, stressed during his speech at the event the rejection of any attempt to return the tools of the Yemeni occupation to the South, adding that these entities should direct their efforts to liberate their areas from the control of the terrorist Houthi militias.

Al-Jabwani stressed that Shabwa returned to light with the sacrifices of the blood of the people of the South, after defeating the criminal militia, stressing the steadfast pursuit of the goals for which the heroic martyrs sacrificed, foremost of which is the goal of liberation and independence and the restoration of the southern state in its full sovereignty.

Al-Jabwani noted that the people of Shabwa governorate are suffering, like the rest of the governorates of the South, from the war of services practiced by the parties that control the decision-making authority in legitimacy to bring the people of the South to their knees, calling for support for the efforts of the governor, Sheikh Awad Ibn Al-Wazir, for development and combating corruption that has spread in the state institutions.

At the end of his speech, Al-Jabwani thanked the Arab coalition countries led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the great support they provided to liberate Shabwa from the criminal Houthi militia, calling in the context for the sponsors of the Riyadh Agreement to exert more pressure on the other party to complete the implementation of the terms of the agreement.

Leaders and members of Transitional Council Executive in Shabwa, and a number of tribal sheikhs and social figures, and representatives of civil society organizations participated in the event, expressing their rejection of the presence of any Yemeni political entities within their governorate and the South in general.

The participants in the event raised the flag of the state of the South, and pictures of President Aidarous Qassem Al-Zubaidi, the President of the Southern Transitional Council, and banners that express the categorical rejection of the return of Yemeni parties to work in Shabwa and the South and to confront any activity of these parties and their remnants.
