From the South to the United States: The full story of what those who do not know it are missing 🔷 A state that once existed.. Before 1990, there were two states on the map of the Arabian Peninsula: the Yemeni Arab Republic in the North with its capital Sana'a, and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in the South, with its capital Aden. They were both members of the United Nations, each with its own flag, army, and constitution. 🔷 Unity.. a dream that turned into a nightmare! On May 22, 1990, the two states united. Southerners entered unity voluntarily, believing in an equal partnership. But they were surprised by dozens of assassinations, marginalization, and exclusion directed at the South, and in 1994, the partnership collapsed, the South declared disengagement, and the North responded with a comprehensive war that occupied the South. 🔷 What happened after 1994? After the war, more than 120,000 Southern soldiers and civilian employees were dismissed from their jobs. Southern institutions were looted, its lands confiscated, and its political representation dropped from 50% to 0% in the presidency of the republic in 2011. The South turned from a partner into an occupied land. 🔷 The Southern Movement.. the voice of the people.. In 2007, Southern retirees came out in peaceful protests demanding rights. The regime ignored them, repressed them, and shed their blood, so the movement turned from reform demands into a clear demand: restoring the Southern state. It was not an emotional demand, but the result of a harsh experience. 🔷 2017: The birth of the Transitional Council.. On May 4, 2017, the South Arabian Transitional Council was founded to be the political representative of the Southern cause. It was not a political party, but an entity comprising armed forces, security apparatuses, and a broad popular mandate. Its goal: restoring the fully sovereign Southern state. 🔷 The Southern forces.. the region's safety shield.. Forces such as the Shabwa Defense, the Giants Brigades, and the Security Belt fought the Houthis for years, liberated Aden, Al-Dhale'a, Shabwa, and Abyan, and protected Bab al-Mandab. These forces were the first line of defense for the region and offered thousands of martyrs. 🔷 The alliance with Saudi Arabia.. then betrayal! In 2015, Saudi Arabia entered the war against the Houthis. Southerners fought alongside it. But in December 2025, after the Transitional Council liberated Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra from the forces of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Arabia turned against it: it launched more than 200 airstrikes on the Southern forces, imposed an air and sea blockade, and arrested the Council's delegation in Riyadh, where it remains detained to this moment. 🔷 What the South demands today? Amr Al-Baidh, the representative of President Aidarous Al-Zubaidi for Foreign Affairs, calls on #Washington to support a political path leading to a referendum on the independence of the South, after a one-year transitional phase. And he says clearly: the option of restoring Sana'a militarily is no longer realistic. 🔷 Why a referendum? Because Southerners want to determine their own destiny, not have it decided for them from closed rooms. A referendum is not an innovation, but a right guaranteed by United Nations covenants. It is the solution that ends the conflict, not the one that postpones it. 🔷 Conclusion.. The South is not a "secessionist movement" as it is portrayed. It is a people with a former state, a history, an identity, victims, and one demand: restoring their state. Whoever does not understand the story will deal only with the outcome. #SouthVoice

🚨 #BREAKING | Amr Al-Baidh, the Special Representative of the President for Foreign Affairs: 🔴 The Washington Examiner: The South Arabian Transitional Council is pushing toward a peace agreement that includes the independence of the South. 🔴 Al-Baidh to the Washington Examiner: The conflict against the Houthis has effectively been lost, and the best option going forward is to stop the losses and establish a state in the South outside Houthi control. 🔴 Amr Al-Baidh: Political parties in northern Yemen are not prepared to fight against the Houthis, which is one of the main reasons for the current situation. 🔴 Al-Baidh: "The idea of liberating Sana'a from the Houthis is over, no one can do it, and no one talks about this matter anymore." 🔴 Al-Baidh: "Under the current circumstances, establishing a state in the South is the only solution, otherwise the Houthis will continue to expand." 🔴 Al-Baidh: The Transitional Council has continued communication with Washington and found responsive voices in Congress and among American officials. 🔴 Al-Baidh: Our goal is not immediate independence, but a one-year transitional phase in preparation for holding a referendum on the independence of the South. 🔴 Al-Baidh: The Transitional Council urged the "Southern Giants Brigades" not to participate in the recent counterattack because it was a futile endeavor. 🔴 Al-Baidh: The United States does not need to fight in Yemen or carry out airstrikes, but to bring together the parties concerned with the crisis. 🔴 Al-Baidh: The call to gather the parties aims to bring together regional powers to agree on a strategy regarding Yemen. 🔴 Al-Baidh: The proposed peace agreement is not based on the goodwill of the Houthis, but relies on international pressure, especially from the United States. 🔴 Al-Baidh: The proposed peace agreement aims to stop the losses of the forces opposing the Houthis at present, while keeping the option of confronting them in the future open. 🔴 Amr Al-Baidh warns: The Houthis' expansion to Aden and the Omani and Saudi borders will make them "another #Iran." #SouthVoice

#Report | "Shabwa opens a new economic window: Launch of the First Economic Exhibition with the participation of 46 companies" Prepared by: #SouthVoice In a step reflecting a desire to move beyond years of crises and set out toward development, #Shabwa governorate inaugurated, on the morning of Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the activities of the First Economic Exhibition, which is considered the most prominent economic event of its kind in the governorate, and continues until Saturday, November 14, in the Martyr Adel Al-A'sam Sports Hall in the city of Ataq. Broad participation and sectoral diversity.. 46 companies and institutions representing various commercial, productive, service, and banking sectors are participating in the exhibition, alongside business solutions and investment services. The event, organized by the "Shabwa Logistics" Foundation under the patronage of the local authority and the supervision of the Office of Industry and Trade, the General Investment Authority, and the Chamber of Commerce, aims to introduce products and services, open direct communication channels between companies, traders, and investors, and stimulate commercial activity in the governorate. A message of reassurance to investors.. The exhibition was inaugurated by the Governor of Shabwa, Awad Mohammed bin Al-Wazir, in the presence of the Secretary-General of the Local Council, the two deputy governors of the governorate, and a number of officials and businessmen. In his speech, the Governor affirmed that the exhibition "goes beyond being a space for displaying products to constitute a platform that brings together manufacturers, suppliers, traders, investors, and financial institutions," noting that security stability and developmental momentum in Shabwa "constitute an important pillar for enhancing investor confidence and creating an attractive environment for business." Significance of the event.. This exhibition comes at a time when the Southern governorates are seeking to prove their ability to manage their economic affairs away from the incapable central government. In contrast to Shabwa, which suffered for years from conflict and marginalization, organizing an economic event of this size sends a message that the South possesses the ingredients and competencies that qualify it to be a real economic actor, not merely an arena of conflicts. The question remains: Will this exhibition turn into a sustainable annual tradition, or remain a passing event amid the security and economic challenges facing the governorate? The coming days are sufficient to answer.

Congratulations from the people of the South of Arabia to the Republic of Poland On the occasion of the National Independence Day, the people of the South of Arabia extend their sincerest congratulations and best wishes to the leadership, government, and friendly people of #Poland. While we value Poland's international standing and its role in defending freedom, sovereignty, and respect for the rights of peoples, we affirm our aspiration for relations based on mutual respect and fruitful cooperation, and for the just causes of peoples, including the cause of the people of the South, to find a fair presence in European and international forums. May Poland and its people always enjoy progress and prosperity. #Niepodlegla #SouthVoice

📢 | We are Southerners, and Aidarous is our symbol and our guide... ➡️ Since 1990, the Southern cause has passed through multiple political and historical stations, and the leader President Aidarous Al-Zubaidi has been one of the names that emerged in its political and military path. Reading and documenting these stations remains a media and historical responsibility. ➡️ From the HATM movement to the Southern Movement, and on to the founding of the South Arabian Transitional Council, these are stations worthy of documentation and study to understand the developments of the Southern political scene. ➡️ Southern dialogue is a file present in the political experience of the Transitional Council, and recent years have witnessed meetings, initiatives, and consultations with Southern components and figures. ➡️ The history of the Southern cause is not a single station, but a series of events and political and popular transformations, from 1990 until November 2026. ➡️ The name of President Aidarous bin Qasim Al-Zubaidi has been associated with multiple political and military stations, from the phase of the Southern Movement to the presidency of the South Arabian Transitional Council. ➡️ Counterterrorism and securing cities and facilities are among the security files during which the Southern governorates witnessed various operations and developments, and they deserve objective documentation. ➡️ After the ill-fated 1990 unity and the 1994 war.. Aidarous did not surrender. He founded the Self-Determination Movement HATM in 1996, the beginning of the path of liberation. ➡️ In 2007, the Southern Movement emerged, and Aidarous was at its forefront. A field commander before being a political leader. ➡️ The Transitional Council was not an exclusion of anyone; rather, President Aidarous opened Southern dialogue to all Southern components and figures. The South unites us. ➡️ President Al-Zubaidi built the Southern Armed Forces and security from scratch after 2015.. an army and security that protect the land and cities and fight terrorism. ➡️ Our forces today, which crush the Houthis on the borders, are the fruit of the building and guidance of the leader President Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, Supreme Commander of the Southern Armed Forces. ➡️ When President Aidarous called for general mobilization, all segments of Southern society mobilized and rushed to register at the mobilization centers to fight voluntarily against the Houthis. ➡️ From January 2026 until today, million-man rally after million-man rally, the people say: We are committed to Aidarous as a symbol, a guide, and a leader. ➡️ Aidarous was not made by the media, but by the fronts, the prisons, and the struggle since 1990. That is why he is our symbol. ➡️ The million-man rallies from January to November 2026 demanded the return of the President and raised his portraits.. because the people know who represents them. A leader who does not sell out and does not bargain.. at every station he remained steadfast to the goal of restoring the fully sovereign Southern state. ➡️ Socotra, Al-Mahra, Hadhramaut, Shabwa, Abyan, Lahj, Al-Dhale'a, and Aden all say with one voice: We are Southerners, and Aidarous is our symbol and our guide. #SouthVoice

🚨 #Breaking | What happened today in Mukalla? 🔴 Armed clashes inside #Mukalla Port between the "Yemeni Emergency Forces," which have usurped the name "Homeland Shield" and are loyal to Saudi Arabia, and the Hadhrami Coast Guard, after the former attempted to seize the port by force and expel the latter from it. 🔴 The confrontations erupted after the Coast Guard forces confronted the attempt by the "Yemeni Emergency Forces" to position themselves inside the port and arrested a number of their elements, before the latter pushed in reinforcements, encircled the port, and stormed its gate. 🔴 The most dangerous development: Port employees and workers announced a comprehensive strike (customs, shipping, unloading, docks) in protest against the deterioration of security conditions and in rejection of the presence of the "Yemeni Emergency Forces" inside the facility. 🔴 Tension continues amid reports of arrangements to secure Saudi arms shipments through the port to reinforce the Yemeni militia deployed on the lands of the South. #SouthVoice

🚨 #BREAKING | A call for freedom! More than 10 months have passed since the detention of the delegation of the South Arabian Transitional Council in Riyadh, in a precedent that only states that have abandoned the simplest international covenants would dare to commit. Detaining the representatives of a people in another state is political kidnapping and blatant blackmail. We demand the immediate and unconditional release of the detained delegation, and we demand that the international community intervene urgently and exert pressure to end these practices that violate international law and human rights. #SouthVoice

🚨 #BREAKING | Rajeh Bakrit, member of the Presidium of the Southern Transitional Council: 🔴 The tweets published by members of the Southern delegation from Riyadh reveal to public opinion the extent of the arbitrary treatment and detention they are being subjected to. 🔴 Rajeh Bakrit: The dignity and rights of the members of the Southern delegation are not cards for making concessions. 🔴 Bakrit denounces the humiliation of the Southern delegation detained in Riyadh, and holds the Saudi regime fully legally and morally responsible for the safety of its members. 🔴 Bakrit warns against any harm befalling members of the Southern delegation because of their positions and tweets, and holds the Saudi authorities responsible for that. #SouthVoice

🚨 #BREAKING | Nizar Haitham, member of the Southern delegation detained in Riyadh: 🔴 We will not accept a peace built on denying the South's right to restore its sovereignty over its land within the borders of before May 21, 1990. 🔴 The blood of the martyrs will not turn into ink for signing concessions, and we will not accept that the sacrifices of the people of the South become the price of a deficient peace that perpetuates injustices and rewards those responsible for them. 🔴 The South did not lose its brothers; rather, they are the ones who lost a people that was ready for brotherhood and sacrifice, but they chose to make it an adversary because of injustice and domination. 🔴 Power may impose a temporary reality, but it cannot create legitimacy in hearts or silence a people demanding its freedom and justice. 🔴 We will not bequeath hatred or revenge to our children, but we will not bequeath to them restrictions, and we will teach them that homelands are not for sale and that dignity and freedom are not begged for. 🔴 We will not accept that the future and destiny of the South be held hostage to the conflicts of others, or that its decision be confiscated and guardianship imposed upon it. 🔴 We may one day forgive for the sake of making the peace of the brave, but forgiveness does not mean relinquishing the Southern right or forgetting the blood of the martyrs. #SouthVoice
