Al-Nuzaili Comments on Southern Armed Forces' Announcement of Redeployment from Bab el-Mandeb
Yemeni army spokesman Majed Al-Nuzaili commented on Sunday on the Southern Armed Forces' announcement of redeployment from Bab el-Mandeb.
Al-Nuzaili said that the statement issued by the Southern Armed Forces is an extension of the heroic stances of the popular resistance and southern forces in protecting the interim capital, Aden, and the southern governorates.
He added that the southern forces' position on breaking the siege of Taiz represents a national stance at a highly sensitive stage, considering the protection of the capital, Aden, and breaking the siege on Taiz a national and moral responsibility to stop the threat of violations by the terrorist Houthi militia.
Al-Nuzaili considered the liberation of Bab el-Mandeb and the West Coast an inherent right of the armed forces, and that the international community must assume its responsibilities by contributing to the liberation process, given the strait's vital importance to the security of navigation and international trade.
Colonel Al-Nuzaili affirmed that the armed forces stand united in performing their duties to protect the Yemeni people and their capabilities and to deal with the threats of the terrorist Houthi militia, and that Operation «Fajr Al-Yaman» (Yemen's Dawn) is proceeding to achieve its set objectives until the threat of the terrorist Houthi militia is eliminated.
