Since the fall of Aden into Saudi-Emirati occupation in 2015, the city and its surrounding areas have been trapped in a vicious cycle of suffering. Each time popular anger reaches its peak, the kitchens of politics roll out a “change” spectacle: a minister is dismissed, another appointed; a government is dissolved, then a replacement is formed. The objective is always the same—shifting responsibility away from the real powers controlling the ground and placing it on the shoulders of local tools that hold no real authority.
Recycling Failure and the Mask Game
The attempt to place full responsibility for the collapse of public services and the currency on ministers—such as Salem bin Breik, or his predecessor Bin Mubarak, and before them Bin Daghr, Maeen Abdulmalik, and Khaled Bahah—is a desperate effort to falsify public awareness. These ministers, regardless of whether their governments are labeled “technocratic” or “power-sharing,” operate within a tightly defined margin.
The truth many seek to evade is that Yemen’s sovereign decision-making in Aden has been hijacked. The Saudi-Emirati occupation has been running the game, before Riyadh assumed full control following Abu Dhabi’s withdrawal.
Who is responsible?
The real responsibility for Aden’s wounds does not lie with those sitting in Ma’ashiq Palace without a budget, but with Saudi Arabia and the UAE as occupying and controlling powers and as a fait accompli authority. They bear the legal and moral burden.
Resource obstruction: Who is preventing oil and gas exports from operating at full capacity? Who is paralyzing ports and airports, turning them into military bases or spheres of influence?
Likewise, the so-called “financial deposit” is nothing more than a weapon. Financial support is routinely used as a tool of political blackmail and domination over decision-making, rather than to rescue citizens. Deposits are released in dribs and drabs to ensure the continued subjugation of the proxy government.
Moreover, the multiplicity of loyalties has produced parallel military and security entities within a state of non-statehood, deliberately entrenching instability. These militia formations are steered in directions that serve the aggression and its malicious agendas, lying in wait for the homeland—north, south, east, and west.
Partners in Crime, Not Victims
Despite the aggression coalition bearing responsibility for the crimes committed against the Yemeni people, it is crucial to clarify the role of those “extras” in this drama. Exonerating negligent ministers under the pretext that decision-making is stolen is a grave error. These ministers and officials are not mere victims—they are active partners in the crime.
Their willingness to remain in office under a compromised sovereignty, and their consent to play the role of bystanders amid the suffering of the people, represents an unforgivable political and moral surrender.
Anyone who accepts a ministerial position knowing they do not control a single power station or cannot authorize a budget without the approval of the special committee or a coalition delegate is denying the people the truth and granting the occupiers undeserved legitimacy.
Moreover, their concern for the suffering of the population is minimal. While citizens in Aden and other occupied areas groan under heat and skyrocketing prices, these corrupt officials indulge in privileges, mansions, and funds in Riyadh hotels and other capitals of occupation, choosing silence and submission over dignity, honor, and revealing the reality to the people as they deserve.
Compromised Sovereignty and Submissive Tools
What is happening in Aden today is occupation—sometimes overt, sometimes hidden—disguised under the banner of the so-called coalition supporting “legitimacy.” They provide scraps of electricity fuel as “aid” while depriving the city of revenues sufficient to build world-class power plants.
Ministers’ faces change at every turn to create the illusion that administrative failures are the problem, while the real flaw lies in the occupation and subservience to regional powers backed by American arrogance in the region.
Successive governments in occupied Aden have become nothing more than empty scaffolds, on which the people of the occupied territories are expected to hang all their pain and suffering.
Whenever citizens struggle for a cold drink in the scorching Aden summer, or their salaries are eroded by currency chaos, the dominant powers—Saudi Arabia and the UAE—rush to change a minister or appoint a so-called technocratic government.
The wounds of Aden and the occupied south will not heal by replacing one minister with another, as the occupiers and invaders claim. Nor by empowering one occupying party while expelling another, nor by transferring failure from one cabinet to the next.
True recovery will come only when Yemen regains sovereign control over its land and resources, and when the public realizes that the enemy is not merely the failed minister, but the operator who engineered the failure to remain the ultimate authority—and the submissive minister who consented to act as a bridge over which the people’s suffering and the occupation of the homeland pass.
