Ataq, the capital of Shabwa, witnessed a public festival – the biggest in its history – in response to the call of local leadership of Shabwa Southern Transitional Council in celebration of the 51st anniversary of the first independence. Local leadership of Shabwa council issued the following statement:
Free citizens of Shabwa and glorious people of the south. You who sacrificed everything in your historic struggle towards liberation with dignity and patriotism. Here you are gathering today to celebrate the anniversary of November 30th, this glorious memory of the first national independence. He you are looking for your freedom through enforcing your will and gaining your second independence through restoring your free federal southern state.
On this occasion, we are asserting the following points:
1. All international or regional efforts, negotiations or consultations that seek to end the war and establish peace but overcome the southern cause and ignore the role of the south and its resistance in this process will certainly fail.
2. According to the significant role of the southern revolution in defeating Al-Houthi invasion and all the sacrifices of the southern resistance in this respect we can say that those who managed to achieve all these victories will never fail to preserve and protect them under all conditions.
3. We appreciate the honorable role of our brothers in the Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia and UAE and at the same time condemn all Iranian threats through its tools in the region.
4. We will continue our work on the file of martyrs and injured of Shabwa to make it a top priority and in this respect, we resent all unjust treatment of this file according to regional, political or sectarian considerations and we resent all unjust treatment of martyrs’ families.
5. We should bear our responsibility towards exerting more pressure so that Shabwa can take its fair share of oil exports revenues and to protect all its resources from corruption. This will make Shabwa self-sufficient and able to plan its developmental projects and services without begging for funds.
6. We express our full support to Shabwa Elites Troops and their efforts in establishing security in joint cooperation with military and security systems of the governorate. We appreciate their successive victories over terrorists. We also support the quick formation of its axes and full deployment all over Shabwa.
7. We assert that Shabwa is an original part of the south and its future and all calls or initiatives that ignore this fact will never mean good for the governorate but only seek to weaken the southern national project under which the southern citizens, from Al-Mehra in the east to Bab Al-Mandeb in the west, regained their dignity.
Mercy for Martyrs, Quick Healing for the Injured and Freedom for Captive
