Yemen :

A year has passed since the announcement of the so-called Riyadh Agreement between the tools of the coalition in the occupied southern governorates. The coalition's colonial agenda has appeared and controlled the country's wealth and the strategic areas. The Saudi ambassador became an effective ruler who manages the security, military, political and economic issues in southern Yemen.

The Media Center for the Southern Governorates monitored the movements of the countries of aggression in the southern governorates during the period after the announcement of the agreement in Riyadh. It revealed that the countries of the aggression coalition used the so-called "Riyadh Agreement" as a cover for the implementation of a dangerous colonial agenda, after Saudi Arabia had failed in controlling the southern governorates since independence on the 30th of November 1967.

Riyadh transferred thousands of Saudi soldiers to Aden without mentioning the tasks of those forces, most of them moved by land and established militias loyal to them in Aden to strengthen its military presence. In the first year of the agreement, Saudi Arabia transported more than 25 modern weapons cargo by air and land, in addition to four arms shipments by sea in the port of Aden, during the same period.

Last August, the Center observed that warships believed to be Saudi carrying out a secret military landing operation on the coasts of Shaqra in Abyan Governorate, and this coincided with the defeat of al-Qaeda and Daesh by the Army and the Popular Committees in in Al-Bayda governorate, with the aim of transporting Foreign terrorist criminal leaders, in addition to reinforcing terrorist organizations with money and weapons in Abyan.

Under the same title, the aggression provided the complete cover for the withdrawal of the Takfiri individuals from Ould Rabi` district in Al-Baydha to a number of directorates in the governorates of Abyan and Shabwah, reaching Hadramout. It integrated terrorist organizations into some camps loyal to Riyadh, and perhaps the supporting the internationally wanted terrorist Saad bin Ataf Al-Awlaki, by so-called leadership of the Aggression Coalition in Aden, with a recent shipment of weapons is another evidence.

During the first year of the Shame Agreement, in which the so-called government of Hadi and the mercenaries of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi handed over the national sovereignty in the south of the country to the occupying countries, the coalition of aggression was able to implement a destructive series that affected the infrastructure, as Saudi interests met with the Emirates, disrupting the ports on the Arabian Sea and the Gulf Aden.

After the Riyadh agreement, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi shared control over the ports of Aden and the other southern ports, and during the past months, the coalition of aggression imposed new measures represented by the arrest of ships coming to the port of Aden that were subjected to inspection in the Saudi port of Jeddah for several days, extorting the owners of commercial shipments, leading to the suspension of the activity of a number of international shipping lines in Aden port for the benefit of UAE ports.

While the oil port of Balhaf is still under Emirati control since the beginning of 2018, the occupying countries tightened their military grip on the Daba oil port in Mukalla and disrupted the Emirati-controlled Burum port in Mukalla. In a humiliating manner, occupying Saudi forces directed militias loyal to Hadi out of the port of Nishtun, in Al-Mahra Governorate, in early April, and the aggression's control extended to the port of Socotra.

During the past year, the UAE and Riyadh exchanged roles in the governorates of Al-Mahra and Socotra, and the Saudi occupation forces tightened their control in Al-Mahra and created over 20 new military sites, and for months it has deliberately weakened the activity of the land shipping port linking Yemen and Oman.
The UAE controlled Socotra last May, and turned the island into an Emirati colony, and in light of the Emirati normalization with "Israel" the risks of the Emirati occupation of Socotra increased and as "Israel" plans to establish a military base on the island and erecting watchtowers for maritime traffic in the Indian Gulf.

The occupying countries, with the blatant complicity of the so-called Hadi government, allowed the arrival of US forces to the south of the country, and contributed to strengthening the US presence at Al-Rayyan airport in Mukalla and on the shores of Shabwa and in the Yemeni border between Hadramout and Saudi Arabia, in addition to the British movements under pretext of supporting the Riyadh agreement.

Despite the growing misery in Aden, the countries of the coalition of aggression turned their back to the people of the southern governorates, implementing their colonial plans in the south. And the countries of the aggression did not play any humanitarian or relief role in the city. Rather, Aden and the southern governorates turned into a commercial market for illegal drug trade that is managed by Saudi and Emirati intelligences to destroy the youth.

The crimes against human rights, by the Aggression Coalition and mercenaries escalated during the first year of the Agreement. The occupation countries have not yet closed the secret prisons in Aden and the southern governorates. Hundreds of detainees are still in secret prisons as there are 11 secret prisons, none of which have been closed.

During the last period, an agreement was signed between the so-called Saudi Reconstruction Program headed by the Saudi Ambassador Muhammad Al Jaber and the Minister of Planning in Hadi government, revealing a new Saudi plan aimed at fully controlling the wealth of the various southern governorates under the pretext of investment.
