UK accused of supporting Yemen’s division through mercenary Aiderous Al-Zubaidi’s calls for Western backing

In a new indication of Britain’s support for conspiracies and efforts to divide and dismantle Yemen, the United Kingdom recently welcomed the mercenary Aiderous Al-Zubaidi, leader of the so-called “Transitional Council” militias affiliated with the aggressive countries. From there, he issued widely promoted statements by British media, calling on Western countries to support the division project, which Britain had previously announced its readiness to do.

Numerous British media outlets, such as The Guardian and Middle East Eye, were keen to publish statements from the mercenary Al-Zubaidi, recently made during his visit to Britain, in which he said that Western countries should support the division of Yemen, claiming that “peace cannot be achieved without it.”

British media quoted Al-Zubaidi reassuring Western countries that their interests and ambitions would be preserved if they supported the division of Yemen.

This launch and promotion of these statements from Britain is no coincidence, as the United Kingdom openly stands behind the project of dividing Yemen, as it is one of the most prominent colonial ambitions that Britain still seeks to achieve in Yemen.

The British ambassador to Yemen, Richard Oppenheim, had expressed this clearly in earlier statements to the Saudi newspaper “Al-Sharq Al-Awsat,” confirming that Britain was prepared to use its influence in the United Nations Security Council to issue a new resolution supporting “the right to determine the future of the south,” as he puts it. This means granting international legitimacy to the conspiracy to divide Yemen under the guise of peace.

Oppenheim’s statement strikingly matches Al-Zubaidi’s statements, in which he claimed that peace in Yemen could only be achieved by accepting the division project.

Recently, the aggressive countries and their tools have escalated their activities in the occupied provinces to consolidate the project of division and dismantling of the country, including announcing hostile measures aimed at legitimizing the so-called “separation” conspiracy.

The aggressive countries and their sponsors seek to establish a permanent foothold in Yemen through imposing the division project, using its lands, islands, and regional waters as bases for dominating the region and its waterways, in addition to plundering Yemeni resources and depriving the Yemeni people of them.

In response to the enemy’s moves and their mercenaries, Sana’a, the revolutionary leadership, and the national political leadership have issued decisive confirmations of their commitment to Yemeni territorial unity and full sovereignty over the entire homeland.

President Al-Mashat and the Supreme Political Council said, “Yemeni unity is a popular decision, and the Yemeni people will preserve it and will not accept its exploitation by foreign tools, which seek to achieve the ambitions of others in the country.”

The leader of the revolution, Abdul Malik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, also clearly emphasized that any measures taken by the aggressive countries and their mercenaries have no value or legitimacy.

In contrast to the escalating moves of the enemy and its tools to consolidate and impose the project of division and dismantling of Yemen, calls for armed popular movements to expel foreign forces from the occupied provinces and reject the division projects sought by the invaders have also escalated, in order to establish their control over the country.
