The Yemeni army is heroic and loyal. Sincere greetings to all the elements of the Yemeni army and its members, because those brave men have already succeeded in eliminating terrorism after announcing their full control over the area.

Thanks be to God, and congratulations to all the heroes of the Yemeni army for this great victory which they have achieved against the terrorists of the al-Qaeda gangs and their remnants. This victory really deserves celebration for the Zinjibar region, because, after being a hideout for the terrorists and controlled with all its centers by those armed groups which work within the frame of the al-Qaeda organization and according to its directions, the armed forces managed to enter the Zinjibar region and free it of all the terrorists that were in it. They killed a large number of them through confrontations and some of them escaped from the region, but the armed forces are still carrying out daily searches and they are besieging the region and the regions surrounding it, because they should eliminate all of the elements which belong to the terrorist al-Qaeda organization. Now, there are no longer any terrorists in the Zinjibar region, and they no longer have control over it, after its people tasted the bitterness as a result of the control of the terrorists over it in the past. They wanted to turn it into a complete terrorist area to be a camp in which to train the al-Qaeda elements and to wage attacks by the terrorists. The cooperation presented by the people of Abyan and Zinjibar, as well as the tribes, played a great role in helping the armed forces to enter the region and free it of the terrorists.

Thank God for eliminating the remnants of al-Qaeda and their helpers, who were weak and disloyal for selling Yemen, their religion, their families and their conscience to the devil in return for gains in the present life. Yet, God defeated them in the present life before the hereafter. They failed against the men and heroes of the military forces and the honorable sons of the tribes that supported the attack on Zinjibar to end the siege of their fighting brothers who were resisting al-Qaeda. They did not abandon their weapons or move from their place for 3 months, even though it was a very difficult situation. We pray to God to protect Yemen and its people. We pray to God to grant the wishes and hopes of the poor people. I swear by God, the people of Yemen are kind, and they have good manners and morality. They love peace and they do not prefer violence. This is why al-Qaeda wants to plant evil, violence and disunity among the people of the same nation but they will not succeed, by the Will of God, and their dirty aim will not come true. I hope the turmoil of the Yemenis ends with their blessed revolution, which clearly reflected the kindness of Yemenis and their love for peace. Even though Saleh and his gang commited barbaric killings against them, yet they insist on the peacefulness of their revolution. They are not falling into the trap of Saleh or his plans to push them into using violent and uncivilized methods to express their rejection of his rule. Personally, I think the reason for the spread of al-Qaeda in Yemen is the reign of Saleh; he even supports this organization and gives them money and weapons. He uses them as a winning card, so that he can stay in power by frightening the international and Yemeni community with the threat that al-Qaeda will take over. He tells them that as long as he is in power, al-Qaeda will be limited and ineffective, which is quite ironic and irrational.

Zinjibar City has suffered a lot from the control by the terrorist al- Qaeda organization, which imposed a suffocating siege over the city after it had gotten control over it. This has caused much tragedy to families and civilians, who have been subjected to the most terrible kinds of terrorism at the hands of the terrorist al-Qaeda organization’s members, through the crimes committed by the murderers and criminals of this organization. Today, after the Yemeni army forces were able to break the siege over Zinjibar City, it is now starting to breathe in relief again. I think the work of the Yemeni army forces was good, and we bless and congratulate them on this victory against the remnants of terrorism and excommunication, as they were trying to impose their influence in some Yemeni cities to form their alleged Islamic emirates. However, God has disgraced those criminals and caused them to panic and shamed them after these terrorist groups were destroyed after they had committed many crimes in Zinjibar City. They forced thousands of safe families to move out of their homes because of the terrorism practiced by the terrorist al- Qaeda organization, and the acts of murder, looting and theft that reached the government and service institutions. This increased the families’ suffering because of the absence of the most basic means of services needed by civilians in Zinjibar City.

It is a good thing that the Yemeni army has broken the blockade in the city of Zinjibar. In fact, they have almost gotten rid of the terrorist organization of al-Qaeda, which doesn’t want the wellbeing of Yemenis. These cowardly terrorists have also tried to sow fear, terror and destruction among the citizens. This is in order to make the city deserted, empty, and filled with blood that has been shed due to the criminal operations of bombing, booby-trapping, slaughtering and killing. Thus, Yemenis must cooperate with the security and military forces in order to get rid of these terrorist members, who have wreaked havoc everywhere. In fact, the Yemeni army has made a good achievement by breaking the blockade in Zinjibar, which will restore its life and movement. Thus, the State of Yemen must achieve security and stability. It must also protect Yemenis through fighting the terrorist operations that have been carried out by the cowardly organization of al-Qaeda, which has tried to undermine the country’s security. Thus, the Yemeni army must impose the law through carrying out the searching operations and through following up on all that has happened in the country. This is in order to prevent the formation of the terrorist groups and gangs that work on carrying out criminal operations of bombing, killing and bloodshed. Thus, it is important to achieve cooperation between the citizens and the army, in order to prevent the terrorist groups of al-Qaeda from expanding their activities in Yemen, which must be free from the terrorist and brutal attacks that have been carried out against the Yemeni people.

We congratulate the Yemeni security forces for the great victory over the terrorist organizations that were surrounding the city of Zinjibar through the unique operations carried out by the Yemeni army and the other powers allied with it. They participated in the process of lifting the siege on the city of Zinjibar after a siege of 100 days. The al-Qaeda organization in Yemen was able to control the city of Zinjibar, taking advantage of the preoccupation of the security forces with maintaining safety in the major cities as a result of mass demonstrations held by the Yemeni people. The people called for reform and change and forcing the regime to step down from power, because it failed to provide services to the Yemeni people. It was the only one that benefited from the wealth of the country. It did not provide its people anything to save them from the state of poverty and hunger suffered by more than half of the population of Yemen. In addition, there is unemployment and ignorance, and there are diseases that have become widespread in the country without being treated. The regime does not even provide assistance to the citizens, so they could take a role in maintaining the security of the country against the terrorist attacks and other acts of sabotage that are practiced in the country. These matters themselves led to many of the Yemeni people becoming involved in fighting in the ranks of the al-Qaeda organization, to get money and weapons, and to provide their families with food and other humanitarian needs which they are deprived of. Thus, the government is responsible for increasing the spread of the terrorist organization, because it has deprived the citizens of their legitimate rights to securing work and health and education, and other humanitarian services in the country.

Yemen has witnessed a great deal of fighting with the terrorists. In fact, the military forces have worked on arresting all the members of al-Qaeda. Iraq has also witnessed the same situation. In fact, this terrorist organization has been defeated in Iraq, and now it is no longer able to spread its terrorist and Takfiri ideas. It also cannot pretend to claim Islam, because all people have become aware of this organization’s crimes. Thus, the terrorist organization of al-Qaeda has gone through tough times. We wish that these campaigns and attacks had taken place before, to get rid of them without the killing of innocent people, whose blood has been shed due to their criminal operations.

We must thank the citizens of the southern provinces, and especially the citizens of Abyan and Zinjibar, who have supported the military forces in tracking down the terrorists. In fact, we are in need of stability, especially under the current circumstances. Thus, the loyal Yemeni army has achieved a great success. In fact, the cooperation between the people and the security forces will create a big force that can eradicate terrorism. This is in order to let Yemen enjoy the long-awaited peace and calm.

Thank God Almighty that the Yemeni Army has strongly fought the cowardly terrorists. In fact, they have succeeded in breaking the blockade and they have entered Zingibar with a victory over the cowardly organization of al-Qaeda. Thus, the Yemeni Army has proved their competence. In fact, they have assumed their responsibility. And as Arab people, we are proud of the Yemeni Army, which has succeeded in breaking the blockade, thanks to their power and competence. In fact, they have challenged all the miseries. And now they are very happy with their achievements. Thus, they are now in a good situation. That’s why I would like to congratulate the Yemeni Army, and I wish them all success because they deserve all the best. In fact, they have fought the cowardly and despicable terrorists. Besides, Yemen has gone through tough times and it has challenged many difficult situations. And God Almighty can support all those who need help. Thus, Yemenis will achieve all the good things, thanks to God’s help.

God willing, victory will be the fate of this peaceful revolution that broke out all over Yemen to call for change and for ridding the country of this traitor and his likes who didn’t serve Yemen as much as they served themselves, their families and their entourages.

All we want is for Yemen to be restored to the way it was before and even better. Its citizens are demonstrating now, demanding the elimination of the regime of Ali Abdallah Saleh, who was the president of Yemen. However, due to the tremendous bombing of his house by his opposition, he probably has severe wounds, and he is lying in a hospital in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia. Through media statements, he has insisted on going back to Yemen in order to resume his rule, but the Yemeni people don’t want him after that day, though he insists. If he gets back to Yemen, God only knows what will happen in Yemen, and how he will treat those who dealt with him. The people don’t want him to come back again, and they are demonstrating every day, calling for an end to his regime. So, we call on the Yemeni people to insist on their opinion and not to subject themselves to anyone. The regime of Saleh should be eliminated, no matter the strength of his power. The Yemeni people are nervous because his son and his family are still ruling the Yemenis, and his son has a powerful position, so the Yemeni people want to remove the roots of Saleh and his children forever.

The siege that was imposed on the 25th Brigade was broken at the hands of the people of Aden and Lahj Abyan, who stood bravely with their field leader, General Faisal Rajab. Nor can we forget Al-Sawmali and Al-Jiryani, who was also in the front of the ranks. As for the leader of the southern region, he unfortunately worked on crippling the progression of the tribes and the honorable military forces that support them. That is because he believes that the forces that fight at Abyan belong to the other side, i.e., they belong to the dissident leader Ali Muhsin Al-Ahmar. This is supported by the fact that he recruited hundreds of the youth of the revolution to fight with them.
