Abyan:Abyan Governor Saleh Al-Junaidi affirmed that the October 14 Revolution marked the decisive end of foreign colonialism in Yemen.
According to Yemen News Agency, Al-Junaidi, in a statement marking the 63rd anniversary of the revolution, emphasized that the event symbolizes the Yemeni people's rejection of invaders and occupiers, showcasing their ability to confront such forces whenever necessary.
Al-Junaidi criticized attempts by the Saudi-US coalition to reinstate colonial rule in southern Yemen, describing these efforts as futile. He asserted that under the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, Yemen is stronger than ever. The governor noted that Yemeni armed forces, having countered international coalitions for over a decade, remain vigilant in their mission to eliminate remnants of Saudi aggression, working alongside the Yemeni people to liberate their national territory.
He urged residents in the southern provinces to support the armed forces in expelling Saudi forces and their reinforcements. Al-Junaidi accused the Saudi forces of emulating British colonial tactics by promoting militias and exploiting resources in the southern provinces, asserting that their influence will ultimately be eradicated.
Expressing concern over some Abyan residents collaborating with Saudi forces, Al-Junaidi encouraged them to seize the opportunity provided by the President of the Supreme Political Council's general amnesty to return to the national fold. He warned those aligned with Saudi interests in Abyan and other southern provinces of the risks posed by remaining in enemy camps, which are deemed legitimate targets by the Yemeni armed forces.
The governor advised Saudi forces to withdraw from Yemen's southern regions and cease funding militias, warning that they face potential expulsion akin to the British colonial exit 63 years prior. He called on southern leaders and citizens to unify against the Saudi occupation and reject its presence and policies.
