Southern Front’s view of the West Coast battles

Yamanyoon

The Southern National Front to resist the invasion and occupation confirmed in a statement that what is happening today in the West Coast is an extension of international ambitions in our coasts and ports, calling on the people of the southern provinces to withdraw their sons from fighting with an aggressive coalition.

The Southern National Front added that what is happening is an attempt of using the Southerners as paid fighters for  Tariq Afash, just as what happened in the 1994 war, which resulted in the death of thousands from the Southerners. The people of the southern provinces are not interested in this battle at all.

Aden city, which was occupied by the UK but now under the control of UAE, and the rest of the southern cities witnessed an insecurity situation that increased the assassinations of Imams of mosques and security and military leadership

The province of Aden witnesses a security fiasco that escalated with killings, looting issues, in addition to others that never happened before.

The UAE took control of Aden under the pretext of confronting the so-called “Houthis” Yemeni army and supported the establishment and formation of armed militias there.

A few months ago, Emirati-backed forces were fighting and killing Saudi-backed forces in Aden. The south is moving towards outright autonomy. The entrenchment of a war economy is another significant obstacle to peace.
