News - Yemen: The governor of Lahj, Ahmed Hammoud Juraib, warned, Saturday, of the danger of the American-British presence in the occupied southern governorates, especially Hadhramout and Al-Mahra.

He explained that the foreign presence in the southern and eastern governorates indicates that the US, Britain and France seek to prolong the aggression and the continuation of the state of war and chaos in Yemen.

He stressed that the Yemenis in general and the people of the southern provinces in particular reject the presence of any foreign forces in their country, stressing that these forces will be the goal of Yemeni armed forces on the parts and coasts of Yemen.

He also stressed the need to unite to defend the land and protect Yemeni sovereignty from the dangers it faces due to the continued presence of the occupier in Yemeni lands.

The United States continues its escalatory steps in the region, which reinforce efforts to obstruct peace in Yemen. In early August, it announced the arrival of additional forces to the Red Sea, which represents a direct threat to the territorial waters, islands and Yemeni governorates, especially in light of the declared American insistence on continuing the aggression and blockade.

The US Fifth Fleet said in a statement that "more than 3,000 Marines and sailors arrived in the Middle East," noting that "amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 50) and dock landing ship USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) entered the Red Sea."

On Wednesday, President Al-Mashat warned the US Marines and British forces in the occupied provinces not to go too far as "Yemen is a red line."

He addressed these forces saying, "Yemen possesses drones and rocket power, and it has a leader with a light hand on the trigger."

"We rely on Allah at the forefront, on the awareness of this people, and the courage and wisdom of our leadership. These are the elements that will lead our country out of this crisis to safety," he added. He pointed out that the people and loyal tribes are the safety valve against all enemy conspiracies.
