The South، Between the deprivation from Services and its People’s Will to Restore its state

South Eye | Report - Exclusive

From the capital, Aden, hearts unite for a nation stretching from Al-Mahra to Bab al-Mandab, where an unwavering truth stands firm regardless of escalating challenges: this people has never and will never abandon its just aspirations, no matter how varied the methods aiming to undermine its resilience. Despite campaigns of distortion and inciting rhetoric that seek to sow division and doubt, the people of the South remain more cohesive and confident in the justice of its cause driven by a shared destiny and a historicali identity woven together through resistance and sacrifice.

Moreover, the establishment of the Southern Transitional Council marked a pivotal political milestone, enabling the reorganization of the southern ranks under a strategic vision that accommodates diverse components. Through dialogue and openness, this led to the announcement of the National Charter, which articulates a thoughtful expression of the collective will to rebuild a modern Southern state founded on cooperation, balance, and justice.

Although challenges persist, some parties see them not as a call for solidarity, but as an opportunity to launch unconstructive criticism overlooking the fact that the Transitional Council operates within a political framework and agreements that require phased commitment.

What the people of the South face today in terms of service deterioration and economic hardship is a continuation of systematic strategies aimed at weakening and pressuring them, despite their role as a responsible partner seeking sustainable solutions to preserve peace and stability, include looking for alternatives. It is crucial to highlight that behind this covert war are actors seeking to break the southern will by using livelihood pressures ranging from power centers within the Yemeni government to entities managing energy and resources exploitatively, serving political, not national, agendas represented by Muslim brotherhood in particular. These actors mistakenly believe that starving and drowning southern citizens in crises will erode their political resolve—failing to grasp that such policies only deepen popular cohesion and determination. Free peoples must either have their will respected or die defending it.

Public services have become a tool for punishing an entire population, managed with political bias that disregards even the most basic ethical and legal standards. Budgets are still allocated based on selective criteria, where areas of partisan or militia loyalty are rewarded represented by MB and Houthi group, while the South is punished for its free choices. Despite the clarity of these discriminatory policies, the southern leadership has remained restrained and has worked through available mechanisms to correct these deviations.

In the face of international silence from concerned powers, it is worth noting that the contradiction between rhetoric and practice erodes trust and hinders the building of relationships based on mutual respect. One can't call for stability while simultaneously denying an entire people access to the basic necessities of life. Nor can one speak of partnership while practicing undeclared punitive policies. Respecting the aspirations of peoples and their right to self-determination is not a luxury or a testing ground, it is a moral and legal obligation for all who claim to uphold justice and the rights of nations to choose their path.

With its people, identity, history, geography, and leadership, the South holds the full right and popular mandate to build a modern, successful state in the region based on good governance, openness, and cooperation. Ignoring or obstructing this reality serves only the forces of chaos and terrorism, which thrive in crises, disorder, and insecurity.

What it can affirms is that the South remains alive through the will of its people steadfast on its path to restoring its state, patient amid crises, pragmatic in dealing with changes but absolutely determined not to relinquish its people's right to reclaim their state within its internationally recognized borders prior to May 21, 1990. This is not a moment for pressure, it is a call for serious reconsideration to rebuild trust between a proven regional partner on the ground and international actors striving for stability and mutual interests, reminding all parties that history inevitably vindicates those who stand with justice and truth, not those who chase temporary interests at the expense of free nations
