He added: “We were closely monitoring the work of what is called legitimacy and the process of reforming and correcting its mistakes, but the hidden and public conflicts taking place within the wings and poles of legitimacy itself appeared to be self and partisan interests at the expense of the people of the South and their wealth and capabilities, and even at the expense of the citizens of the North and their suffering.”
Maj. Gen. Ben Brik listed a number of plans and scenarios designed to bring down Aden and the south and to re-occupy it, one of which was the policy of torturing people with services and salaries, narrowing lives and provoking regionalism.
