Sana'a: The victories achieved by the Armed Forces on the West Coast represent a strategic shift that puts an end to the expansionist delusions of the Saudi enemy and its mercenaries. It establishes a new equation that restores Yemen's full sovereignty over its territorial waters and vital maritime gateways.
According to Yemen News Agency, following the Armed Forces' lightning victories, the enemy and its mercenaries scrambled to mobilize forces in a desperate attempt to regain the initiative. This was accompanied by a media clamor and a distortion of reality orchestrated by Riyadh to promote claims regarding threats to maritime safety.
These maneuvers aim to ignite strife among the people of the same nation and ensure Yemen remains fragmented and mired in conflict. The goal is to pave the way for seeking external protection and internationalizing the conflict, thereby consolidating Saudi influence and masking the defeat of its proxies on the West Coast.
As part of a systematic media disinformation campaign, the platforms of the aggression are deploying their mouthpieces and mercenary voices to propagate lies and fabricated allegations. This is a transparent attempt to stoke sectarian and doctrinal hatred and to lay the groundwork for replicating the criminal scenario they sought to implement in Syria. This development comes after the aggression's mercenaries-steeped in Wahhabi-Takfiri ideology and backed by the sponsors of ISIS and Al-Qaeda-openly declared their intentions regarding civilians should they seize control, revealing the true nature of their deeply ingrained criminal behavior.
In a dangerous escalation that exposes the bloodthirsty nature of the aggression and its disregard for innocent lives, the mercenaries announced an expansion of what they term the "killing zone" to encompass vast, densely populated areas, effectively trapping civilians and residential neighborhoods within its scope.
Experts and analysts view this announcement as a direct and blatant threat to the safety and security of citizens. It constitutes a full-fledged war crime that violates all international laws and conventions, reflecting the state of failure and hysteria gripping the forces of aggression following the collapse of their schemes.
The implications of controlling the coastal route and the ports stretching from Al-Khokha to Al-Mocha extend far beyond immediate battlefield gains; this control ends decades of Saudi tutelage and hegemony over Yemen's maritime decision-making and places these waterways under purely national administration.
Furthermore, this fire-control and geographical dominance ensures the complete security of shipping lanes adjacent to the Bab al-Mandab Strait and strips the aggression of the blackmail tactics it had long employed to enforce a blockade and strangle the Yemeni economy.
This battlefield equation translates into a sweeping political victory for the capital Sana'a, compelling regional and international powers to engage with Sana'a as a formidable force-and the sole actor capable of securing the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. It also completely thwarts the schemes for partition and fragmentation orchestrated by the aggressors, while insisting that any security-related matters be contingent upon a complete end to the aggression, the lifting of the comprehensive blockade, and the payment of salaries to all state employees.
Attempts by the forces of aggression to circumvent this new reality through military mobilization and by seeking foreign protection will not alter the fact of the sovereign victory achieved on the ground.
Yemen has irrevocably cast off the mantle of subservience and foreign tutelage, reclaiming its natural right to manage its territory and territorial waters based on an independent, sovereign vision. This vision defeats all colonial designs, ensuring that the Bab al-Mandab Strait remains Yemeni-serving national interests as well as Arab and Islamic national security.
