Each of these Riyadh Agreement issues has been aired since its inception. The major one, IMO, is the rather blatant meddling of forces from Marib (Moslem Brotherhood) into Shabwah. Whether they do this to confront the Southerners or they want control of oil resources, the fact remains they jhave no war with the Houthis. It is important for PSA to have the Riyadh Agreement as is said below: " in a position committed to calm and agreement,...". Read on.
The President of the National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council in Yemen , Major General Ahmed Saeed bin Brik , spoke in an exclusive interview with “Erm News”, about many thorny issues related to the implementation of the provisions of the Riyadh Agreement, and the reasons for its obstruction.
Bin Brik stressed that the position of the council’s delegation to suspend its participation in any committees related to the implementation of the Riyadh Agreement is correct, calling on the Arab coalition, and Saudi Arabia in particular, to assume its full responsibilities to define the obstruction and take the necessary measures regarding it.
The transitional council delegation suspended its participation in all the joint committees of the Riyadh Agreement ... How do you see that?
The logic is that our position should be similar to the position of our delegation in Riyadh before. Despite the deficiencies in the Riyadh agreement that was signed under the supervision of a major country like Saudi Arabia, and in partnership with the rest of the Arab coalition countries, and under the auspices of the UN and Quartet envoy, the terms of the agreement were thrown and ignored by a foolish group, Implemented by the Brotherhood’s reform forces on the ground in the south, without stopping them or limiting their movements and behaviors to what is agreed in the terms of the agreement, as well as stopping the salaries and feeding of the armed forces fighting the main enemy on the front lines, stopping military support, and stopping the treatment of the wounded who fall daily. True N that all this is justified to suspend the work of our delegation?
When we are in a position committed to calm and agreement, and committed to not leaking any criticism, stopping media polemics, military moves and attacks from one side, at a time when we see the second party moving its sleeper cells from a base and ISIS , and moving strange forces that enter from Marib to Shabwa, and implement Agendas to divide and isolate some governorates, as these are all negative attitudes, without taking positions on the ground to deter or limit them.
We are sure that the agreement will be implemented, and we could have complied with some actions until the end of the maximum three months, to implement the agreement, and then we could define a clear position on what is happening on the ground.
Legitimacy has been largely extended, and it pays salaries to provinces that have not yet been liberated, and to stagnant forces in Marib, while the salaries of the southern armed forces are stopped, to fail and devour them, this issue will not be accepted by sane people and the transitional council will not accept it and our people will not accept it, strange paradoxes, as if our patience is being tested .
How do you evaluate the work of the joint political committee that was recently formed in Riyadh?
Our delegation is the same who went to sign the Riyadh agreement, and it is the same in the joint political committee, and it was assumed by the other party that his delegation in the joint political committee is the same delegation that negotiated and signed the agreement in order to implement the terms of the agreement under the supervision of the coalition, but it is clear that the original delegation rebelled He does not want to implement the terms of the agreement, and that was embarrassing for Saudi Arabia. Rather, some elements of the caretaker government are turning to forces hostile to the coalition countries, such as Turkey, to conclude agreements that we do not know what they are, and they come in the context of the Muslim Brotherhood’s direction, and to consolidate the relationship with Turkey. Take any action to deter them.
What are the possible scenarios if the Riyadh agreement fails?
For every accident, talk at the time.
How can the implementation of the clause include merging, disarming and removing the security and military forces from Aden?
Your place is a secret, we cannot hand over our necks to those who want to massacre the Transitional Council and the southerners, while weapons are still circulating with Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Brotherhood and the forces that seek to harm the south, and they are now on the outskirts of Abyan, and committees come requesting us to hand over our weapons, while there is a sequence My time frame for the agreement is defined by its provisions to create confidence, so it is inconceivable that this will be done and the invading forces are still lying in Shabwa, Abyan, Hadramaut and Al-Mahra, and they have not been moved to confront the Houthis on the fronts of the fighting, so we will not move an inch from what we are on the ground.
What are the most prominent differences between you and legality in Riyadh?
As usual, the Muslim Brotherhood wants to devour others, and be at the forefront of the political scene in power, wealth and land, and this is what we did not accept and we will never accept, unless we are wiped from our father’s reel.
What is the position of the Arab coalition, in particular Saudi Arabia, regarding the parties obstructing the Riyadh Agreement?
We have fulfilled all the obligations required of us, we are located under the seventh item and they can see our movements via satellites, and they can also see the second party's violent actions.
After the Riyadh agreement, it is assumed that no inhabitants are moved, but what happens is stopping the implementation of the terms of the agreement. The Brotherhood authorities in Shabwa, Abyan, Hadhramaut, Al-Mahrah and Socotra are making radical changes to embarrass the leaders that were agreed upon through the terms of the Riyadh agreement later, and change elements other than Qualified and find confrontational elements, meaning the failure of the coalition countries and Saudi Arabia in particular to carry out its mission.
And brothers in the Arab coalition must bear responsibility and hold accountable the obstructed, and stop their actions, as they are financed with ammunition, weapons, and money that are collected from taxes and entered the southern provinces, and spent on the forces of terrorism on the ground, where the actions of some elements of the government inside and outside the borders are provoking to us and the Arab coalition.
We say enough, the coalition countries must shoulder their responsibilities. Otherwise, the problem will remain endlessly endemic, and I assure that the people of the south will not accept a return to before 2015, nor will they accept without the restoration of the state and the independence of the south, and will accept only a modern state and not a gang state, and will not He accepts suspicious relations with the coalition countries, and they are on their soil and insulting them in front of the media, so it is assumed that the coalition has a direct responsibility to hold these anomalous parties who live on contradictions, terrorism and warlords to account.
How do you evaluate the subject of the resignations of a number of members of the association?What is its impact on the assembly and the council?
Resignations or objections are a healthy phenomenon in the political entities that go properly, and we cannot be equal like the teeth of the comb. Whoever wants to object to the path of leadership of the transitional council and its bodies, let him please, and whoever agrees with us and who is looking for a homeland and is not looking for material and authority He will continue to struggle with us until the end, we do not offend anyone, and people with weak consciences and those looking for specific interests will fall through this long path.
In sum, because of these resignations, there is no effect on us, it is better for us than for them.
