Al-Barakani in the south and Jabari in the north... The legitimacy of tampering and corruption has collapsed

Aden, NewsYemen, special:

In a room that appears to be an underground "basement", Deputy Speaker of Parliament Abdulaziz Jabbari posted on his personal account on "Facebook" a picture of him chairing a military meeting in Marib for the army leadership and the governor yesterday, Sunday.

The meeting included the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant-General Muhammad al-Maqdashi, the Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant-General Saghir Aziz, and the Chief of Military Operations, Major General Nasser al-Thibani, in the presence of the militant Sheikh Sultan al-Arada, the governor of the province.

“Things are good, and sufficient support is required for the battle.” With this phrase, Jabbari concludes his brief post about the meeting, but the details of the photo of the meeting that Jabbari published do not really indicate that “things are good,” as he said, nor does the content of the phrase suggest that either.

The picture clearly indicates the security and military situation in the city of Marib, which has been witnessing fierce battles for nearly 5 months on its borders or suburbs, to repel the Houthi militia's attempts to advance towards it in conjunction with repeated attacks with ballistic missiles and drones to try to hunt down the legitimate leaders and its army in the city.

With the absence of the Patriot defense system that was withdrawn from the city in late 2018 AD after the UAE announced the withdrawal of its military presence from Yemen, holding any civil or military meeting of the leaders of the legitimacy in their known headquarters in the city has become like a suicide attempt, which limited these meetings and the necessary ones are held in narrow rooms Underground.

This is reflected in the picture of the meeting that Jabbari published, as clear evidence of the status of legitimacy in its most important strongholds in the north, and it constitutes the last major city it controls in the north, if we exclude Taiz, where neither legitimacy nor the Brotherhood’s forces, rather, dominate the entire city.

 In fact, the situation of the city of Marib is better than that of the city of Taiz, where the Houthi militias are stationed on hills overlooking the city and can target any site there and more easily than Marib, which is still 15-25 km away.

 An outcome that seems bitter to the reality of legitimacy after 6 years of long tampering in managing the battle with the Houthi group, as a result of the Brotherhood’s control, turned the battle to the interests and objectives of the international organization of the Brotherhood on the one hand, by instigating the most important pillars of the coalition, which is the UAE, which had a prominent role in liberating and securing Marib Houthi missiles.

On the other hand, the group and the war lobby that controls the legitimacy decision have turned the battle with the Houthis into a means of profit and financial gain, impeding the liberation of the north and even overthrowing what was liberated by the Houthi militia.

 The futility of the Brotherhood and the war mafia extended to the south, whose resistance was able to liberate it in a few months from the beginning of the war, with the Houthis’ inability to reach its largest governorates, Mahra and Hadramawt, which made the south completely liberated during the first year of the war.

Instead of exploiting the situation of the liberated south as a base to liberate the north, the Brotherhood and the war mafia believed that everything that was not under its control and the control of its militias was not liberated and must be liberated, so it waged wars against the south militarily and in other ways such as services and the economy.

This absurdity generated angry feelings among a large segment of the people of the south, who came to see legitimacy and its leadership as a continuation of the Yemeni occupation regime that swept the south in the summer of 94 AD, which was reflected during the past few days with the visit of the Speaker of Parliament, Sultan al-Barakani, to the governorates of Mahra and Hadramawt.. where The two governorates witnessed popular activities that varied between demonstrations and civil disobedience, in a categorical rejection of the idea of holding parliament sessions in Hadhramaut or in Mahra, and considering this to be a "legalification of the occupation of the south", the same rejection expressed by southern activists on social networking sites extensively.

This picture reflects the humiliating situation that the legitimacy has reached, with the inability to secure a seat for its parliament in one of the liberated cities at home.
