President: the country determines to eradicate terrorists in Sa'ada
Edited by: Mahmoud Assamiee
SANA'A, Oct.20 (Saba)- President Ali Abdullah Saleh has affirmed
the state and government's determination that the current war fought by military and security forces against rebels in Sa'ada and Harf Sufian will be the last war.
In interview with MBC Television Channel conducted with him last Sunday, he
revealed big victories the military and security forces achieve in different fronts
so that these
elements (Houthis rebels) are in the worse condition because of consumption of their
equipments, arms, ammunitions, fuels and supplies.
But he referred the delay of decisive military victory against these terrorist
elements to keenness of the state of avoiding human and material losses and for
hope that
these elements will return to the right way but they are lairs and malicious.
"Whenever we stop military operations and release their prisoners, they prepare
themselves again for fighting," said the president.
In regard to secessionist movement in some southern governorates, the president
said it does not represent danger on the size of Al-Qaeda network which threatens
national
economy and threatens security and stability or of the size of rebellion in some
Sa'ada's districts.
He made it clear that sons of southern governorates are not with separatists and
they are occupying high ranking posts in the government, the parliament, local
authority
and civil society organizations. Furthermore, he said neither brotherly nor friendly
countries support southern movement. These countries support Yemen's unity, its
security
and stability because Yemen's security and stability concern the international
community.
Over circulations on Iranian aid to Houthi rebels, he said that they receive
support from some references in Iran according to documents "we got" and
information from some
cells they are currently before courts. Sorrowfully they are Yemenis receiving funds
from some institutions and some religious leaders maybe in Iran but we do not accuse
the authority.
He affirmed that rebels are but terrorists and outlaw elements working for
outsiders and implement exterior agenda.
Over question that if the war in Sa'ada was regional, the president said" I can not
say this but if any one has other aims, Yemen will not be a stage for operations.
It
is sovereign independent country and we will not accept to fight for others." He
further said, our fight is for defending a creed, principles, constitution and
values. We
do not have any thing to do with differences between Saudi Arabia and Iran besides,
we do not have differences with Iran.
He affirmed that the kingdom supports Yemen and its unity and security but does not
interfere in Yemen's affairs.
Over linking between Al-Qa'eda and Houthis, he said "through our following up and
reports coming to us, every one is supporting another. Houthis support Al-Qa'ada
and Al-Qaeda
supports Houthis." But affirms that the two parts are not committed to one agenda
rather they share spite against political system and security and stability in
Yemen.
Over regional aims of the rebels, Saleh says Houthis are not real Shi'ah or Zaidis
but fund seekers want to harm Yemen and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They want to
create
line extending from Najran to Jaizn in the kingdom and from Sa'ada to Haradh and
Medi in Yemen to hit the two countries. He added that they plan to reach to the Red
Sea via
Medi port. They will affect the maritime in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea.
Over plot of Al-Qa'ida in the Peninsula that targeted the Saudi prince Mohammad bin
Nayef, President Saleh said the Kingdom has published complete details about
perpetrators.
They are a group of Yemenis and Saudis were hiding in Mareb governorate. They were
in communication with Saudi authorities for attracting them but they were spiteful
and
prepared subtle operation when targeted the prince but Almighty God thwarted their
plot.
He added "we are cracking down on them from place to another". Four have been
arrested, all of them are Yemenis. They are being interrogated and investigations
reveal that
they have main goals in the country, economic and political targets.
He said there are some of al-Qa'ida affiliates fighting with Houthis and that
Hotuhis are involved in kidnapping German, British and Korean people who were
providing health
services in the country.
He even says there is coordination between Houthis, Al-Qa'ida and southern movement
and they support each other for targeting the political system. They do not have
one
agenda but have one target.
Over circulations that the system supports each religious party against another,
the president said these are incorrect rumors, "we did not use Houthis against
Islah and
use Islah against Houthis nor we use Salafis against Islah. Every party has some
weakness and each of them accuse the state. We do not play with these papers."
Concerning
donors' commitment to their pledges to support Yemen's development, Saleh said
donors are 80 percent committed of their pledge and there might be a problem between
them and
the government over the government's assimilation of these funds. He affirmed that
these funds are assigned to development not for any other purposes.
