Analysis of Saudi-Yemen Conflict Statements

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May God welcome you all.

Statements by the official spokesperson for the forces of the Coalition of Aggression against

Yemen reveal the state of confusion in which

the Saudi leadership finds itself. It condemned Yemen's

military operations targeting Saudi oil

facilities, on the grounds that those facilities

are civilian objects that must not be bombed, and that

this constitutes a violation of Saudi sovereignty.

How wonderful! At last, the Saudi leadership has admitted

that there is such a thing as civilian objects that must not

be targeted, and that there is such a thing as

sovereignty that must not be violated.

Now we ask, are not mourning halls

and wedding halls, hospitals, schools,

markets, and prisons civilian objects that must not be targeted,

just as Saudi Arabia targeted them in Yemen?

Are they not more civilian

than the Saudi oil facilities belonging to the Saudi

government? Also, does Saudi Arabia's formation of

a broad international coalition to attack

Yemen, besiege it, destroy its

infrastructure, and occupy it in order to impose guardianship

against it? Wouldn't that constitute a serious violation of Yemen's sovereignty?

And more dangerous than merely carrying out military strikes in

Saudi territory.

Of course, dear brothers, this Saudi confusion

reveals that the Saudi leadership has not only lost

its human conscience, but that it is, that it is

suffering

from strategic blindness. Indeed,

the Saudi leadership has the ability to bomb

Sana'a Airport, but it

has lost the ability

to see the consequences of that strategic folly,

especially since it targeted a state that had just emerged

from a direct military confrontation with America,

Britain, and the Zionist entity to stop

the aggression against Palestine and Gaza.

Does anyone think that this powerful state, which had

the courage and ability to confront those

powers, would not defend its country when

its

airport, its international airport, which is a symbol of sovereignty for any

state, was targeted?

Dear brothers, nevertheless, we say that

Yemen's position is just and modest,

namely that Saudi Arabia stops its aggression

and ends its blockade of Yemen, and in return, Yemen

It will halt all its military operations against Saudi Arabia,

and then Yemen is ready to sit down with

Saudi Arabia for a round of negotiations to

correct the course of Riyadh's relations with Sana'a.

So that it is a relationship of equals, not dependency.

But if the Saudi leadership insists on continuing the war

and the blockade in order to ultimately rule

Sana'a from Riyadh, then that will not happen,

and the war will only end with Sana'a ruling

Riyadh.

As for our opponents at home, we advise them

and tell them that our position is clear.

We have confirmed that we will not raise our weapons against you, and that

you can keep your weapons and areas under your control until

we can restore Yemen's sovereignty and independence, and then

we are ready to sit down at the dialogue table to build

a political process that accommodates all Yemeni political components.

We are still, even now, ready to agree to

a ceasefire on all fronts, whether with Sultan

al-Aradah and his group or Tariq Affash

and his group. But if you insist on continuing

war, this does not only mean that you are

suffering from strategic blindness,

it also means political suicide, because

your continued support for Saudi Arabia until the liberation of

Yemen

will deprive you of the right to participate in any future political

process, and that is political suicide. Therefore,

we advise you to stop, to

stop your attacks against the

Yemeni forces defending Yemen's sovereignty and independence.

Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings.
