Southern Movement Condemns Saudi Actions Against Civilians in Taiz and Sana’a

Sana'a:The Southern Movement faction, a participant in the National Dialogue Conference and a signatory to the Peace and Partnership Agreement, has condemned the actions of the Saudi enemy for its systematic targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure. Recent incidents highlighted by the group include the targeting of the Al-Hadara market in the Al-Wazi'iyah district of Taiz Governorate and the village of Al-Shariya in the Bani Hushaysh district of Sana'a Governorate.

According to Yemen News Agency, the Southern Movement faction stated that these actions constitute full-fledged war crimes and crimes against humanity. They accuse the Saudi forces of criminal conduct, displaying a blatant disregard for innocent lives, and violating fundamental religious, moral, and humanitarian values, as well as international laws prohibiting the targeting of civilians and vital facilities.

The faction emphasized that the continued crimes by the Saudi aggressor against defenseless civilians, along with the destruction of infrastructure and livelihoods, without clear condemnation or calls for an end, represent a stain on the conscience of the "civilized" world and the international and regional institutions responsible for protecting and promoting human rights.

Furthermore, the Southern Movement stressed the inherent and legitimate right of the Yemeni people and their armed forces to seek retribution and honor the blood of their fallen. The faction expressed support for precise military operations targeting the aggressor's heartland and interests, endorsing the "blockade-for-blockade" and "escalation-for-escalation" strategy as a necessary response until the aggression, blockade, and occupation ceases.
