[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=4) Who told you that you are defending the homeland and the republic and legitimacy, you mean to convince us? A neighborhood thug won't convince us, nor will you keep grandstanding with these slogans, grandstanding for eleven years. [0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=17) You grandstand with slogans, but act against the homeland and against the citizens, working with an enemy that bombs Yemen and besieges Yemen. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=24) Who are you lying to? You're mobilizing people inside the city of Taiz, forcing them, coercing them, and compelling them to defend you, while your leadership is abroad, and those who are inside merely want to build villas for themselves and live their own lives. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=41) That corruption and those violations against the citizens, they go on acting as though they are protecting the homeland, protecting the homeland and carrying the banner of the republic. When these people who committed countless crimes in Taiz are exposed, [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=57) it will all come to light. They think they are the best, and that if they are gone, everything else will be gone. That's it. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=68) No, by God, he's living in an illusion. Citizens, every day you provoke someone, and then one ends up arrested. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=75) The second is arrested, the third is arrested, the fourth. Yesterday, they beat someone. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=78) A lawyer in Taiz tells you it's on suspicion, then they take him to the station and humiliate him. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=85) This story came out, I mean, someone with the ball. [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=89) How many times, Qassas? Suspicion, I don't know what, my dear. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=93) Taiz city, we told you from the beginning, next to the city, they withdrew from 12 districts and stockpiled weapons among the citizens. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=100) Why? So they can fight in Taiz city, where there is a dense population, citizens and children, so they can destroy it out of spite, by God Almighty, so they can shelter among civilians and use them as barricades so that they can fortify themselves in residential neighborhoods and citizens' homes, [1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=118) so they can say Taiz is under siege. He should go back inside, retreat into the city and wants to fight. This is a deliberately planned siege. Now the refrain is that they are under siege, I don't know what. The legitimate government itself issued a statement saying they closed 19 [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=133) roads, and we published it. People know about this, and they themselves are inside Taiz. [2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=137) They closed the eastern crossing and Al-Hawban, I mean. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=141) They had already closed it before. Tonight, this one is closed, then he comes and tells you, “Ah…” [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=144) Taiz is besieged, I swear. You’re besieging it, you’re moving aside, and you’re destroying it. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=148) Because he went back to cowering inside the city so he could… [2:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=152) Claim that Taiz is besieged. “Save Taiz!

[2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=163) Bullets and shells. Through war, tragedy, death, suffering, revolution, everything. [2:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=170) They’ve been constantly coming and going for a month, begging. [2:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=173) Looking for donations, money and gold. Because they committed, I swear, perhaps… I mean, we warn that… [3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=181) Watch out, watch out, watch out, don’t be dragged into a… [3:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=185) Contemptible, trivial arena that will not benefit you, and through it you will achieve nothing… [3:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=189) But a black history and the dumpster of history, if you commit… [3:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=192) Crimes alongside the other side. No. Spare the city and spare the civilians. [3:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=199) And then, for what? Why do you want to take revenge on the people of Taiz, the city? You left the districts. [3:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=206) Go there and act like a hero. Don’t commit crimes. For what? Me, because… [3:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=212) The republic and whatever, while you're with Saudi Arabia, which is against the republic, unity, and Yemen. It's inherently against Yemen's geography, no grandstanding, no grandstanding. You're the ones who besiege Taiz, and you're the ones who target Saada, and you're the ones who have exhausted [3:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=227) this governorate, this city, through your thuggery and corruption. How many crimes How many crimes have you committed against citizens? Citizens, not all the people of Taiz in the city are with you. There are free, honorable men in the city and those with them. [4:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7S7iMe2TYfie/en/criticism-of-yemen-s-islah-party-and-claims-about-the-taiz-blockade?t=242) This clique, this Saudi-affiliated Masada Party bunch, I swear to God, whoever is with them, whoever supports them, is insulting himself and insulting Taiz. No, you are insulting Taiz. Taiz, Taiz Taiz is great. Taiz is big, and bigger than you
