[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=4) That is, the Makhlafis spared their area from war and the destruction of their homes and villages. They came into our city to fight. Hamad Saeed al-Makhlafi himself, his brothers, uncles, and cousins. They spared their own areas and paid taxes and obligations and zakat to the Houthis. They came into our city [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=22) to fight. On top of that, they hand the Houthis military fuel. [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=26) Sultan al-Barakani and al-Alimi spared al-Huqayriyah from destruction and ruin and displacement. They stayed and fought in al-Misrakh and the city. They spared al-Huqayriyah from war. Is it only us in Taiz who must destroy our city and destroy our buildings and our property for the sake of the Islah Party, come what may? We call on all [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=48) the people of Taiz. I am from Taiz, I am a citizen of Taiz, and I did not authorize the Islah Party to fight, nor did I authorize them to destroy our country, nor did I authorize anyone. We call on the people of Taiz, all building owners, merchants, property owners, to take to the streets and apply pressure [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=64) Those people. Meaning, hand over the city and spare us war. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=67) We don't want any more wars, we've had enough. Don't tell yourselves the war is between the man from Saada and the man from Taiz. The war is between the Yemeni Congregation for Filth and the state. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=75) These people are rebels against the state. The state wants to bring all the land under its control, under its authority. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=81) Enough, we're citizens, we surrender, we won't destroy our buildings. The cheapest building costs 200 million. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=85) They might destroy them for us so Salem Al-Daws can rule. What benefit is there in Salem Al-Daws? [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=89) Hamid Al-Ahmar, who incites the Islah members in Taiz, tells them, "You are the foundation of the republic and the pillar of the republic. Fight." He spared his own country, Amran and Khumayr, from war and destruction, and handed it over to the Houthis. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=101) They handed Al-Madareeb Al-Wajibat and the war funds over to the Houthis. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=104) They spared their country from destruction. We are just like them. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=106) The Islahis from the outskirts of Sana'a and Dhamar handed over their country. They refused to fight so as not to destroy the buildings and people's property and the homes of their uncles. [1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=115) They pay taxes and obligatory zakat to the Houthis. They have kept their country out of the war. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=119) They incite the Islahists who claim Taiz as theirs. Those Islahists who claim Taiz is theirs do not represent us, nor do we know or deal with them, nor do they belong to us, nor have we authorized them. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=126) They can go to hell. We've had enough of this, enough in the square. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=130) You looted people's homes and cut off the roads. You destroyed the people of Taiz. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=134) You destroyed us and displaced us. It makes no difference to the one who caused it. [2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=137) And this, brother, you spread discord. What do you want from us? [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=141) God will deal with you. Get away from us. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=143) By God, you will not get away from us, brother. Fear God. Leave us. Let us live. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=147) Let us live. If we rise up and drive the Islahists out of Taiz, the roads will open. Everyone will return home. These Islahists are living in people's homes, occupying people's homes and renting out people's apartments. They have committed the most heinous crimes. [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=159) They threw people into prison. They killed people in field executions. [2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=164) That's it, these people have nothing to do with Taiz. Therefore, come out tomorrow, against the Islahists. Let the hidden people of the coast come out. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=169) Let's take to the streets. Jamal Street. Take to Jamal Street. Push for civil disobedience. Close the shops. [2:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=175) Don't allow any armed person into your neighborhood or street. [2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=179) Get them out. Let them go fight the Houthis there in the square. [3:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=182) Let them fight there. Don't resist. Don't resist the state. Don't resist. [3:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=186) We don't want to destroy our city, not at all. Nor do we want to destroy our district. [3:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=189) Nor do we want to destroy any building. Why should we destroy our buildings because… because… [3:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=193) because the Islahists want to rule? They won't accept it. By God, war makes no sense. [3:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=196) It makes no sense. Someone comes and tells you, "You run your country." [3:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=199) That makes no sense. People from Taiz are spread across all the governorates. People from Taiz are in Saada. [3:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=204) The overwhelming majority at Saada's universities are from Taiz. Why the lies and deception? [3:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=208) It's not a logical war, nor is it between one governorate and another. We don't have tribal roadblocks among us. [3:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=212) This is a state. This is a state. We're not going to destroy it. We've had enough destruction. [3:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=216) It's enough that the buildings aren't theirs. They fight and insult people. [3:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=219) They continue to plunder wealth and attack the people of Taiz. That is, to strike at the people of Taiz. [3:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=226) Murderers, a rabble. Occupying people's homes, that's what they know. Destruction. [3:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=230) The Islahis are not people of the state. They were partners in the state. [3:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=233) Half the state was with them. They went out looking around. They went out to destroy a country. They destroyed it. This is all that we suffer within the republic because of them. [4:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=240) Because of their filthy actions. They are a movement founded within the country to destroy the country, destroy Yemen, destroy the homeland. They insult us and destroy us. [4:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=248) We don't know anything about these people. Or what they want from us. [4:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=252) May God never grant them success, never grant them success. Because they are not for God, they do not act for God. [4:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=256) They act for their pockets. They act for their own gain. For their own interests. [4:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=260) May God never grant them success. Anyway, God willing, patience endures. [4:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=263) The situation speaks for itself. Get these thugs out of your governorate. Take to the streets. That's all I have to say. [4:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=270) If you want to destroy, do it. That is, spare your city from destruction. [4:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=274) Building owners, go down to the street. Protect your buildings. [4:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=277) Protect your property. Drive out those infidel Islahis, the gloaters. Drive them out. God be with them. [4:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=284) May God be with them. No Islahis will destroy us. [4:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=288) They couldn't hold a country. They couldn't hold a country. That's it. ღმ be with them. [4:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BUFiDcCZOxRU/en/taiz-resident-calls-for-protests-against-islah-to-spare-city-from-war?t=293) That's all I have. Regards.
