Discussion on Yemeni Unity and Saudi Influence

Taiz people in Sana'a outnumber Sana'a people at the market.

Clothing stores are run by Taiz people, as are restaurants and workshops by Taiz people in

Saada, even in Al-Jawf, Hajjah, Al-Mahwit, Dhamar, everywhere.

Taiz people are everywhere, even inside the police station. You go in and see a soldier from

Taiz and an officer from Taiz, and they're brothers and friends.

You see them. There is nothing wrong in Taiz, no cause for concern over Taiz, so don't

panic.

Don't alarm the families or frighten people. There's no need for all this media uproar.

Taiz is a Yemeni governorate after all. No matter whether the war lasts a year or

ten or twenty, Taiz is like Sana'a, Taiz is like Ibb.

Taiz is like Aden, Taiz is like Hadramawt. It will be liberated, and the Saudis will leave.

No matter how long the Saudis persist in trying to buy mercenaries, the Saudis must leave

Yemen and leave Yemenis alone. So, if there must be an

end to these confrontations among Yemenis, let them end now.

Why don't we direct our arrows, weapons, strength, and might at the Saudis' heads?

All of us, then we'll agree. Long ago, when a Yemeni sat with his brother

Yemenis will agree. Spare us this stupid Saudi narrative

that they stir up every so often. What brought you to Taiz, and who brought you to Taiz?

As if Taiz were a country of its own in Mozambique, not part of Yemen.

The same Saudi logic, changing its form, achieves the same

goal of dividing Yemen into North and South,

with eastern regions on their own. Taizi, Ibbi, Sanaani,

human, jinn, Sunni, Shafi'i, Zaidi. It's all a Saudi narrative

aimed at driving a wedge between us and dividing us

among ourselves. But in reality, really, come on,

let's do the math properly for a moment.

In Sana'a, Taizis outnumber the people of Sana'a.

If you go back a bit

in Sana'a, people are from every governorate. Go see, go see the market.

Clothing shops are owned by Taizis, restaurants by Taizis, workshops by Taizis, everywhere,

people live together as brothers and friends, with love

and coexistence, as if there were no difference at all, when there is no difference in the first place.

Go see in Saada, even in Al-Jawf, Hajjah, Al-Mahwit, in

Destruction everywhere, Taiz people are there. This Saudi logic is

promoting something that harms Taiz's people

before it harms anyone else. Those spreading the story, "What brought you down from Taiz?" are what other people say.

They say you came down from Taiz, but what drove you out of Taiz? And

we live in division, conflict, and negotiations that

serve no one but our enemy, who wants to devour us so we can never rise again.

So we can never stand in Yemen. The Saudi enemy is

the beneficiary. Taiz people in Sanaa, inside the

police station, you go in and see a soldier from Taiz and an officer from Taiz.

It's normal, they're brothers and loved ones. You see neighborhood chiefs from

Taiz in Sanaa, everywhere, in every trade and profession, from

Taiz in every market. It's normal.

There's nothing wrong with it, and no one asks why, or what's wrong, or finds it strange, as if it were something different.

No, this is normal for us, because Taiz's people and Yemen's people, Sanaa's people, and the people of

all the governorates are Yemeni. We're all brothers, of one blood,

one flesh, one people, and one land. But this story of what brought you down

Taiz, as though people from Sana'a or the governorates, meaning members of the armed forces

from every, every place, are mostly from

Taiz. Even those fighting at the front lines now, go see them, most are from Taiz.

As if they came from Bangladesh, from foreign countries.

What brought you to Taiz? This logic is ridiculous. This logic is utterly ridiculous,

extremely so. Even militarily, even militarily, on every

front, on all the fronts, there are people from Taiz who are

fighting.

With their country, with those you call Houthis, with the Yemeni forces, and there are people from

Taiz, many times more, fighting alongside Saudi Arabia. We have prisoners from Taiz

in Najran, Jizan, and Asir, and in Marib and Al-Jawf, everywhere. That's normal.

But as soon as the Saudis start moving their tools in Taiz, and the

Yemeni forces move to deter them and try to liberate the region, there are no people from Taiz

among them.

Immediately, they start chanting, “What brought you to Taiz?” “What brought you to Taiz?” As if it were a country

of its own. This logic is ridiculous. Use your heads, don't be foolish.

Taiz is part of Yemen, just as Sana'a is part of Yemen.

We are all responsible for protecting Sana'a, Taiz, Ibb, and Saada.

Al-Jawf, Amran, the south, and the governorates

in the east. Every Yemeni region must be liberated.

The evil and harm lie in the Saudi's remaining. Everyone knows the fate of

the country is to be liberated in the end.

The Saudi, after enduring the blows, will eventually come to the conclusion that

he must make an agreement, withdraw from Yemen, leave Taiz, and leave Aden,

Hadramawt, and all the Yemeni governorates. Only Yemenis will remain

in their own country, and no matter how long they fight, they will come to an agreement.

Why don't we agree from now on and abandon this foolish bravado and these

loathsome sectarian chants: Taizi, Ibbi, Sanaani,

Southerner, Sunni, highlander, coastal, valley,

Tihami. This is geographic diversity, and we can live with it

in safety and security.

Every region should serve the other, not fight each other over it and consider it shameful.

Zaydi, Sunni, Shafi'i. These are outdated chants that are neither accepted in Yemen nor relied

upon, and they have no place in our country for hundreds of years.

Today, the Saudis use them to increase strife among Yemenis.

The fighting between us intensifies while he stays far away, far from all this, safe

and secure. No,

we must be careful. The people of Taiz must understand that the Yemeni forces

always deliberately avoid launching a heavy attack on the people of the cities in

Taiz or elsewhere, especially in areas where people from Taiz fight, to spare bloodshed.

We don't want a bloody massacre to happen because

We don't want a bloody massacre to happen because

both the killer and the killed are Yemenis, even if the one

fighting me follows Saudi Arabia and has sold himself to the Saudis.

I fight you to repel you and stop you from serving the Saudis in my country, not

just to help the Saudis occupy my land.

I stop you from going too far in serving the Saudis for riyals, until

you come to your senses, until you come to your senses. Then we'll become brothers and live

together. Those living abroad as expatriates, having a good time,

whether from Taiz or elsewhere,

get paid in dollars. They don't care what happens on the ground. They don't care who

lives and dies because he doesn't know, isn't there, and doesn't feel what's happening.

Don't believe the rumormongers. How many mercenaries—the mercenary in Sana'a is cursed, and the mercenary

from Ibb is cursed, and the mercenary from Taiz is cursed. They're all cursed.

Whoever sells himself and his country for riyals for his own

personal interests. Don't tell me he's from Taiz, he's from Sana'a. He's cursed,

whatever region he may be from.

He betrayed his country, the great mother Yemen that unites us all.

That's why we must be united. Any area the Yemeni forces enter

or liberate, they enter to secure it and expel the Saudis.

After that, its people become brothers with everyone who reaches it, and coexistence begins.

Every area previously liberated, after the Saudi deception

and the huge media uproar, exaggeration, and distortion, its people later discovered that

everything they had been hearing was lies.

They lived in complete calm and safety, and any minor problems

that occur normally happen in every country, but they aren't as terrible

as they would be if the Saudis occupied us, as the Saudis promote through

their media. There is no danger to us except the Saudi presence and occupation

There will be no prosperity in our land, no peace, no security, no stability or well-being

except through our unity and the expulsion of external enemies, whatever they may be.

All good will come to us, God willing, if we unite.

We are heading toward a major Islamic renaissance for our country, which will compensate us

for the years of hunger, deprivation, crises, and conspiracies that targeted

our country and divided our people. God willing, we will live in peace,

security, prosperity, and comfort, by God's power. We will all share it, from Taiz,

Sana'a, Aden, Ibb, Hadramawt, Al-Jawf, from the jinn,

from humankind, from east and west, north and south, from everywhere.

We will all cooperate to build this country and heal the wounds

left by these wars and expel any enemy or outsider

and any external force pursuing anything other than this.
