This article is most likely from a speech that Zubaidi made in closing the 3 day National Assembly for the "Southern Transitional". It simply calls for confronting "attempts to foil" the Riyadh agreement. The previous post is highlighting the difficulty in getting the Hadi government to play straight and confront the Houthi's with the fullest force possible. So talk of Hadi been the Governor of Aden when he proposed to be the new President of the Riyadh Agreed Government sounds insincere.
