The head of the Southern Transitional Council indicated that the South has entered
a new phase characterized by steadfastness and unity. He affirmed that the popular will is now a powerful force on the regional and international stage.

the people of the South or impose an unacceptable reality. He also asserted that the next phase requires national cohesion to confront current political challenges.
Achieving the desired goal
Al-Zubaidi affirmed the Southern Transitional Council leadership’s commitment
to honoring the blood of the martyrs and the sacrifices of the heroes. He stressed the continuation of joint efforts until the desired national goal is achieved.
He stated that the unity of the southern ranks represents the fundamental guarantee for preserving
the gains of the South, and that the popular will will remain the cornerstone upon which the future state will be built.
