(Translated)

The National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council held its sixth regular session during the period 21-22 May 2023 in the city of Mukalla in Hadramout Governorate. It was preceded on May 4, 2023 in Aden, by the south-south consultative meeting organized by the Southern Transitional Council, in which more than 330 people representing the leaders of political, partisan and societal components and forces affiliated with the southern regions participated, and one of its results were the changes that affected the presidency of the Southern Transitional Council, were members of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Major General Faraj al-Bahsani and Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami Abu Zaraa, were appointed as deputies of the Southern Transitional Council, along with Ahmed Saeed bin Brik. The new form, to lead the council, emerged consisting of the center of importance in southern Yemen; Al-Dhalea, Abyan and Hadramout. Among the most prominent documents that were approved was the "National Charter", which included the foundations for the next stage, and these documents that were approved will put all participants under the mantle of the Southern Transitional Council, and a number of components announced joining this council, which is the Revolutionary Movement Council headed by Fadi Hassan Baoum and all its leaders. In addition to the revolutionary movement to liberate the south headed by Aidarous al-Yahri with all its bodies, as well as the participation of the Peaceful Movement Council headed by Ali Haitham al-Gharib with all its leaders and representatives. And these last components are calculated on America.

One day before the convening of the National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council on 20/5/2023, personalities from Hadramout departed on a private plane at the official invitation of the Al Saud regime among them; from the region of Wadi Hadhramout, the head of the Hadhramaut tribes’ reference, Sheikh Abdullah Saleh Al Kathiri, Issam bin Habrish, the former deputy governor and leader of the Hadrami Hiba, Saleh bin Hariz Al Marri, and a group of tribes and leaders of the Hadramout coast among the personalities of the Hadramout bloc in the House of Representatives and the Shura Council, with them the current governor of Hadramout, Mabkhout bin Madi, After that, the Al Saud regime invited Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi, President of the Southern Transitional Council, Vice-Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, and Faraj Al-Bahsani, Vice-President of the Transitional Council, Vice-Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council. They set off on 5/22/2023, and did not attend the conclusion of the activities of the National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council, but only attended the opening.

It is known that the Transitional Council, which was established by the Emirates in 2017, with the support of Britain, to maintain its influence in southern Yemen after it lost most of northern Yemen, where it previously had control through its agents on the north and the south under the rule of the decimated Saleh. The Council seeks to be the sole representative of the southern issue to increase the share of its master, Britain, in any settlement with the Houthis, followers of Iran, who are in the orbit of America. However, America seeks, through the movement of Baoum and his followers, to adhere to them and take a share of influence. On the other hand, it seeks, through its most powerful weapon, the Al Saud regime, to work in several ways to put pressure on the Transitional Council and direct it, and to buy leaders to be subordinate to it, especially in the Hadramout coast region, as it has found a foothold for it.

This conflict is not new, rather it is a natural result of the absence of a state that protects Muslims in Yemen and the rest of the Muslim countries, as the Kaffir West overthrew the Khilafah on March 3, 1924 CE.

The Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, the eminent scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, has issued answers to questions that clarify the reality of the conflict in Yemen, these are its links:

The situation in Yemen in general is sad and painful due to poor welfare. Security and basic services such as electricity, water and health care are almost non-existent, and both parties; the local and regional agents, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, serve the interests of their masters, America and Britain, and are destroying the country, its capabilities, and its people, ignoring the manifestations of hunger, and misery that have exhausted the people of Yemen.

O our People in Yemen: It is our duty to expose the plots of the rulers and their masters to know their agency and to expel them. Saving Yemen from its ordeal is not by supporting the followers of Britain or the followers of America, nor by pretending to support this or that. Rather, it is when its people march forth, loyal to Allah Almighty, and truthful with His Messenger (saw) to remove the evil people from both sides, and save the country and the people from their betrayals, and restore Yemen to its origin, the country of faith and wisdom, raising the banner of punishment, the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and resorting to Allah’s law under the guidance of the Rightly Guided Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood.

O People of Strength and Fortitude: Hizb ut Tahrir addresses you with sincerity so that the arrogance of America, its followers and its supporters do not frighten you. And do not be deceived by the wickedness of Britain, and its followers, for they are the enemy, so beware of them, and support Allah, He will support you and make your foothold firm.

[وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ]

“And on that day the believers will rejoice * at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.” [Ar-Rum 30:4-5]
