Aden, NewsYemen:
The Director of the Moral Guidance Department for the Armed Forces, Brigadier General Ali Mansour Al-Walidi, implicitly criticized on Monday the negative position of Saudi Arabia regarding the implementation of the Riyadh Agreement, which it sponsored between the legitimate government and the Southern Transitional Council.
This came in a statement published on his (Facebook) account, commenting on the breach of the ceasefire agreement and the renewed clashes between the Brotherhood militia and southern forces, in Abyan governorate, and the implementation of the Riyadh agreement had stalled, a year after its signature.
He said, "The Decisive Storm countries led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whose capital, Riyadh, has been hosting the leadership of the two parties of the conflict (legitimate and transitional) for more than a year, can prevent the confrontations, pointing out that the first clause of the agreement stipulates a ceasefire between the two parties in Abyan."
The brigadier general considered that Saudi Arabia can stop the firing between its allies and two partners in Abyan immediately and forever, if it wanted to, and if it was keen and honest with its two partners.
He added, "I do not think that the Riyadh agreement signed more than a year ago between the delegations of the legitimate government and the Transitional Council needs internationalization and a matrix of international decisions and Stockholm 1 and 2 similar to what happened in the Hodeidah crisis and war between the government of the legitimate regime and the Houthi coup."
The Director of the Moral Guidance Department of the Yemeni Armed Forces continued: “My reading and most of the observers of the absurd war of attrition in Abyan is inspired by the conclusions of the collective awareness of the Southern Street following the war in Abyan between the two partners of the Coalition of Decisive Storm Countries, the legitimate and transitional.
Al- Walidi concluded: "This is what the southern street and local and international public opinion have in common."
