"Madam President, I am in close contact with the leaders of the South Arabian Assembly who work within the Southern Movement seeking an independent South Yemen. I am disturbed that despite the best efforts of the Southern Movement and the militia attached to their cause, they remain under siege in Aden from forces allied to Sunni fundamentalists rather than Iranian-backed Houthis. In recent weeks Southern Movement supporters managed to free Aden and the surrounding areas, but the lack of support from Saudi Arabia has seen the situation deteriorate again, allowing extremist forces back.
I have been told that Southern Movement forces are ready and able to bring the south under control and that they have no intention of crossing into what was north Yemen. They indicate that the potentially stabilising elements in Yemen are the clans which can bring peace to their areas, yet the Saudis will not allow this. Throughout Yemen the population is suffering and dying because Saudi Arabia and Iran continue to play politics, ensuring no lasting solution to the Yemeni crisis.
If we are serious about securing for Yemen a stable and hopeful future, international actors must actively engage with those on the ground rather than relying on the usual suspects who seem to go around in circles at such a tragic cost."@en1
