and Classification:-The official and publi Introductionc positions and opinions towards
the  Southern issue locally and internationally, have shown a  deep misunderstanding of its nature. Particularly, there is lack of knowledge  in the historical, political and legal foundations that reflect the Justice  and legitimacy of this issue and its main objectives, which lie in  the disengagement from the Yemeni regime and the restoration of the  Southern independent country
That is all to be achieved by conducting a  referendum on
self-drmination for the south. Thus, we have decided to write  this summary,
in order to establish a foundation stone for our case, which  will eventually
lead the observers to make a logical and fair opinion. As  southern youths, we
have been concerned with the wrong addressing for our  issue, and we believe
that this message though brief can give a key  understanding to explore and
identify the merits of the case, not as how the  Yemeni regime misrepresent
it. Since we respect our readers and believe in  the legitimacy of our case,
we have only highlighted the significant facts  and historical events, which
formed the southern issue and produced its  implications impartially, without
a prior imposition of personal  interpretation and analysis. Based on the
latter mentioned, we have divided  our letter into three main sections:
First:
A Brief Historical Background  On The Southern Issue
The
emergence of the southern issue goes back to the  22 May 1990, the date of
declaring the merge unity between the Yemen Arab  Republic (North) and
People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (South).  Substantially, Yemeni unity
has failed, because the Northern regime aborted  all the attempts to reform it
or reach a compromise between the two sides.  Accordingly, the Sana'a regime totally
eliminated the unity project and  replaced it with forced annexation of the
south land and people by force  arms, in a devastating (72) days war. This in
turn, ended in the exclusion of  the southern partner, and the displacement of
its leadership who signed the  unity treaty, and eventually expelled them
outside the county. In addition,  they were also referred to trial and were
sentenced to death. Most of them  still live overseas up to this moment,
including three former southern  presidents. This is in general the substance
of the matter. Because the  present is an extension to the past and it is
actually based on it, a brief  historical overview has to be given in order to
understand the southern issue  thoroughly based on the mentioned facts.
So,
the below points are brief  historical background to approach the topic:
1) On 19 January 1839, After  encountering a fierce resistance and
asymmetrical warfare with the people of  Aden, the British occupied the city,
which was then following the Sultanate  of Al-Abdally, one of the sheikhdom
and sultanates of the so-called South  Arabia located on the geographic area
stretching from the Sultanate of Oman  in the east to the strait of Bab-Al
Mandab and the Red sea in the west, and  from the Arab Sea in the south, to
borders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and  the state of the Shia Zaidi Imams
late known as the Arab Republic of Yemen.  That Shia Zaidi state ruled North
Yemen for more than thousand years (late  third century AH until the late
fourteenth century AH), during which failed  in numerous attempts to takeover
South Arabia
(Map illustrates the  territory of South
Arabia and its capital Aden, and Arab Republic of Yemen  and its capital
Sana'a)
2) The British occupation lasted in  South
Arabia (later People's Democratic Republic of Yemen) for one hundred  and
twenty-nine years, during which the Southerners continued in their  resistance
and uprisings against this occupation. This in turn, culminated in  launch of
the revolution on 14 October 1963, which adopted armed struggle  against the
British for four years. This finally resulted in the departure of  colonialism
and attaining the independence on 30 November 1967. Then, the  People's
Republic of South Yemen was declared and led by the National  Liberation
Front, which was affected by nationalism and leftist (socialist)  ideology in
the fifties and sixties of last century.
3) The
independent  state led by the National Liberation Front, eliminated the all
previous  sheikhdoms, sultanates, and emirates and also displaced their
leaders. The  new republic was then divided into six governorates, Aden, Lahj,
Abyan,  Shabwah, Hadramout, and Mahara
(Map of People's
Democratic Republic of  Yemen according to that division)
In 1969 the
country adopted the  Scientific socialist thought in nationalizing the private
properties ,this  conducive to the escaping of national capitals to
neighboring countries.  Thus, it was loyal to the eastern bloc and accordingly
the Socialist Party of  Yemen was established in October 1978, and the name of
the country changed to  the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. One of its
main objectives was to  attain the unity with the Arab Republic of Yemen,
which was declared in 26  September 1962, after a military coup against the
Zaidi Imami rule, and  became in contrast, a semi-capitalist country, and was
loyal to the western  bloc. As a result to the systematic difference between
the two sides, three  wars have erupted followed by negotiating sessions,
leading to agreements on  achieving the unity between the two countries, which
somehow failed in the  beginnings.
4) On 22 May,
1990, the unity was declared between the two  ruling systems, represented by
presidents Ali Adullah Saleh of Arab Republic  of Yemen, and Ali Salem
Al-Beidh of People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.  The declaration set a
transition stage for two years and six months, during  which the institutions
of two countries will be integrated, and establishing  of the new state, which
was called (Republic of Yemen), will be compld. A  referendum on the unity was
not conducted for peoples of the two countries.  However, none of the
conventions and signed charters was implemented during  or after the
transitional period. This was a historical glance on the south  issue, which
we believe is important to understand it clearly.
Second:  The
Emergence of the South Issue and Its Stages of Development:
The  southern
issue have been through three main stages:
First stage:
The  Emergence of
the Issue (22/5/1990- to- 7/7/1994):
The emergence of
the  south issue associated and synchronized with the declaration of the  unity
between the Arab Republic of Yemen and the People's Democratic Republic  of
Yemen on 22 May, 1990, under a new state named the Republic of Yemen.  This
unity was born crippled and unable to move or even stand properly, as  stated
in evidence below:
I) Once the
declaration of the unit in 1990,  it was obvious that the northern regime had
already an implicit intention to  take over the south and add it into its
authority particularly, to acquire  the vast land (350.000 square kilomr), the
strategic, wide long shores, and  its rich natural resources, which was
considered as war booty for the  northern regime. This was clearly
demonstrated in their attitude after the  unity, and was confirmed in the
testimonies of their leaders which was  mentioned in recently published
diaries of Sheikh Abdullah Bin Hussain  Al-Ahmer and Sheikh Sinan Abu-Luhoom .
In contrast, the unity was seen by the  southerners as a national dream to
build a modern and prosperous Yemen.
2)  II) The southern leadership moved to Sana'a, the capital city of the
new  state, as per the unity treaty. This leadership also waived the
presidential  position to the northern regime, in order to demonstrate a
sincere intention  and a willingness to build a modern and stable Yemen.
However, they were  surprised by the Yemeni regime reneging the unity
agreements and aborting all  the attempts to fulfill them during the
transition period. Not only this, but  also tried actively to get rid of the
southern partner by all legal and  illegal means. Consequently, the
institutions merge between the two countries  failed, except of ostensible
merges in presidency, parliament, and government  leaderships. Most of the
institutions remained under their previous  leadership, even though following
apparently the cabinet of the unity. The  military and security forces
specifically did not witness any kind of merge,  and each followed its own
commandership before the unity.
III)  Sana’a
regime took practical measures to exclude its partner, for instance  by
recruiting the extremist of Afghanistan (Mujahedeen) to assassinate the  most
prominent leaders of the south based on ideological and  religious
justifications. This resulted in assassinating (152) leaders,  during the
transition stage only, without arresting any of the convicts. Due  to the
absolute rejection for the unity project from Sana'a leaders, a  Political
crisis emerged between the partners only three months after the  declaration
of unity. Accordingly, president of south Ali Salem Al-Beidh  moved back to
Aden and refused to return to Sana'a unless the northern  leadership
accomplishes all the unity agreements, and considers the south  with its
national project a real partner in the unity. Nevertheless, all of  what was
agreed upon with the mediation committees was reneged by the north  before the
ink is dry! It was not until the 1993 elections were held, when  all the
southern people voted for their leaders who refused the injustice  and
exclusion of the south partner.
IV) Although,
aborting and  disabling all the unity agreements by the northern regime, was
enough for the  south to declare the disengagement from the unity, and
reinstate to the  situation before 1990. On the basis of the greatness of the
unity achievement  and the southern leadership desire to maintain it, the
southerners with other  progressive forces under Arab and international
auspices, tried to reach a  new formula that will help in building a unified
and modern Yemen, instead of  returning to the previous situation. A of Pledge
and Accord between northern  and southern leaders was signed in Amman, Jordan
on 20 February 1994, but  this agreement though ineffective to solve the
problem in its different  aspects, it was seen by the Yemeni president and his
political partner  (Islamic Reform Party- Al-Eslah), as a threat and a real
coup on their tribal  family project to rule Yemen. When they realized that
this agreement might  end their regime, they signed it apparently under local
and regional  pressure, while they took in advance their decision to take a
military action  against the southern progressive national plans. Yemeni
regime announced the  war against the south by its president from Al-Sabeen
square (Seventeenth  Square) in Sana'a in 27/4/1994. Then, the military
activities started in  5/5/1994, and the theatre of operations was on the
southern land.
Besides  the
Yemeni regime, northern tribes participated in the war in addition to  more
than 20.000 Yemeni and Arab members of Al Qaeda who returned  from
Afghanistan, as stated officially later on. Also, Sana'a regime  considered
this as a holy and religious war against the enemies of Allah from  infidels,
atheists and communists, as they claimed. So, their scholars issued  a fatwa,
permits killing of Southerners, their women and children
Literal  of the fatwa:
"We all know that the
socialist party , its oppressors، and  its rebels. These، if we count their number، we find that they are  very
little and limited and also unless their supporters and agents stood by  their
side they couldn't do what they had done in their black history . They  openly
declared apostasy, atheism, prostitution and corruption . Those who  are head
of sedition , if not their agents and supporters stood by them ,  they neither
imposed atheism on any one nor declared corruption, nor violated  taboos .
They did what they did with things, such as those who are called  Muslims to
day, the army that gave his loyalty to this faction. We,here, have  to give
clarification and legitimacy judgment on this statement: Scholars  agreed that
when fighting, if fighting between Muslims and non-Muslims, if  hoarding the
enemies of Islam to a range of Muslims vulnerable women, elderly  and
children, but if you do not kill them they will be able to break into  the
home and kill more of Muslims, and permit the state of Islam and violates  the
symptoms if they killed them, evil is smaller than the  corrupting
implications of the enemy, we must overcome if the consensus of  the Muslims
for killing these vulnerable people who do not fight so how about  standing and
fighting and carrying a weapon this is first...It is the second  in a row who
have been fighting the rebels they want heighten the flag of  disbelief and
lower the flag of Islam, and scientists say that it that those  who enjoy
lowering the flag of Islam are hypocrites but if it was announced  they will
be shown as an apostate. "
V) The southern army
resisted and  fought against North Yemeni army and its tribal and Jihadist
allies along the  borders between the two sides, in a ferocious war lasted for
over seventy  days. Because of the dismemberment of the southern army between
the north and  the south, and lack of military readiness, the
Sana'a-tribal-Jihadist  coalition defeated the southern army and invaded the
south land.
VI)  Sana’a regime rejected
to all the Arab, regional and international mediations  to cease the war,and
refused to obey the Security Council resolutions number  (931،924) for 1994. to facilitate
access to those decisions and supply links  to access the following:
Link Resolution No. (924)
for the year  1994
Link  resolution No. (931)
for the year  1994
[/URL]for  the year 1994,
which require ceasing the war and returning to dialogues  between the two
sides to find the proper solutions for their problems, which  was contained in
the Arab states and Arab league positions, which have all  emphasized the
inadmissibility of the imposition of unity by force. After all  this, and
under the pressure of people protesting in Aden and other Southern  cities
demanding their leadership to announce the disengagement with the  north, the
southern leaders had nothing to do, but announcing it in 21/5/1994  after
sixteen days of total war against the south. Whereas, northern  forces
continued moving towards Aden and other cities in the south, until  they
tightened siege on Aden and isolated it from other southern cities. The  power
stations was destroyed during the severe summer, and cities were bombed  with
artillery, missiles and aircraft. Furthermore, water supplies were cut  off
after controlling the headwaters in the neighboring province of Lahj.  The
invaders rejected all the efforts of the international and  humanitarian
organizations and also the resolutions of the Security Council  to restart the
water supplies located on outskirts of Aden, which were  stopped by the
invasive savage tribes. That made the people of Aden and  surrounding areas
digging wells by hand, and stands in queues in the  sweltering summer while
bombs and missiles are falling on their heads and  Claim the lives of
thousands of them.
VII) The humanitarian and
living  situation in Aden for its inhabitants became miserable under a
barbaric and  immoral siege. It was a humanitarian disaster because the
houses, Mosques,  and public buildings were full of displaced people who fled
from areas  ravaged by the invaders, and areas of combat zones on the
outskirts of Aden.  Thousands of people were killed by the fire of heavy
artillery and missiles,  and hospitals were unable to receive increasing
number of wounded people and  dead bodies. . In the face of this tragic
situation, the southern leadership  had no choice but to cease the fight and
leave to neighboring countries to  spare the blood of civilians which was shed
by the invading savage  tribes.
VIII) Aden was shocked on
7/7/1994 by the barbarian invasion of  the northern forces and tribes, after
the withdrawal of the southern army and  its commanders. It was exposed to a
moral and humanitarian disaster which it  has never witnessed in its history,
and only happened in the defining moments  of human history, which has been
handled by the memory of generations as the  most hideous form in which human
beings stripped of their humanity and  values. The day of invading Aden
brought to human mind the Mongol Tatar  invasion of Baghdad, the capital of
the Islamic caliphate in the seventh  century and the destruction, looting and
the burning of libraries, mosques  and stores. The Sana'a invading hordes brought
that dark image back on  7/7/1994, when they destroyed and looted all the
physical and cultural  elements of modern city, in a Hooligan scene that can
never be forgotten by  its people. Everything was stolen and robbed starting
from schools,  hospitals, libraries, museums, public facilities, and even
embassies and  consulates. What happened in Aden cannot be described. This
city used to be  in its long history, a center for intellectual enlightenment
and civilization  in all the region, when it embraced all comers from various
parts of the  globe and gave them security, love and knowledge without
discrimination, and  amongst them the northern revolutionaries and liberals,
who fled from their  tormentors the Imams of Sana'a,Yahya Bin Hameed Addin and
his sons but the  reward was inappropriate, and this is a reward that Aden
deserves from the  descendants of Alnuman and Zubairy . What happened to Aden,
also happened in  other southern cities, but the impact was more painful for
Aden, because it  gave everything to the Northerners during and after their
revolution in the  sixteenth of the century.
Second Stage: The Collapse
of the Legitimacy of  the Unity and the Eradication of Its Noble Values (June,
1994 – January,  2006)
If the invading war of the
south eradicated the legitimacy of the  unity politically and legally, the
attitude of Sana'a regime in the south  after the war towards the southern
people and their land, history, culture,  and identity, has destroyed all the
noble values and concepts of the unity as  a national dream for them to a
nightmare in their lives. In the name of the  unity, the rights were
confiscated, wealth was plundered, freedoms were  violated, and dignities were
trampled on the thresholds of the Northern  regime and its prisons, until the
pain and moan of the southerners became a  betrayal to the unity which only
exists in the pockets and accounts of the  northern leaders and their
followers. Therefore, this stage has taken two  tracks, one is an organized destruction
and looting of the south, the other  is a rejection to the tyranny against the
south.
First Track: The  Destruction
of the South:
Sana'a regime ,after the
exclusion of its  partner and the annexation of the south by force of arms,
uncovered the truth  about the concept of unity in its point of view which is
extended to its Shea  Imams ancestors, who considered the south a village or a
branch to their  Yemen mother land (particularly Sana'a). So, Sana'a regime
took the following  steps, after controlling the south by its army, tribes,
and Mujahedeen on  7/7/1994:
I)The first step was to
eliminate all the signed agreement with  the south, including the constitution
of the unity and the of Pledge and  Accord in Amman, Jordan. The constitution
was changed, and the ruling system  was changed from collective governance
(Presidency Council) to individual  ruling system by the president who
combined all the authorities, and is not  subjected to any accountability or
observation. In other words, the old  system of the Arab Republic of Yemen
(North) was replaced with unity system  and constitution.
II) Demobilization of the
southern army, which was seen  as a threat to their regime, by displacing the
top commanders of the army,  redistributing and dispersing the army battalions
in the northern army  brigades. So as to succeed in this, they had to get rid
of most of the  southern officers by demobilizing them or force them stay
home, without  assigning any positions or military functions to them, and even
without  giving them any promotions or financial incentives. This was a
preface to  refer them to retirement, when it was still capable to serve and
qualified  more than the existed northern commanders, who are relatives to the
president  of Sana'a and from his tribe. By doing this he achieved what he
intends from  not merging the two armies during the transition period in order
to preserve  as a tribal institution to ensure his survival in power and
eliminate his  opponents.
III) Eliminate and plunder
all the southern institutions, and  share as spoils of war, between the
warlords from the ruling family, tribal  leaders, and Mujahedeen. Then,
demobilizing the employees of the institutions  and force them stay homes even
without getting paid. That’s not all, but they  also sold some of them and
distributed other productive and industrial  institutions to their tribal,
military, and most influential leaders, in the  name of privatization, which
was only confined to the south.
IV) The south  placed under a
tight military and security grip, by involving a large number  of their army
units in the south, and divides it into military zones. Within  each area,
military sectors were established, and the commander of this  sector had the
supreme authority on the whole region. He also got involved in  the civil affairs
and interrupted the people issues, instead of the  judiciary. Also, through
tribal arbitration that require what is called by  northern tribes (Aladl),
which is (cars, weapons, or money) given by the  parties of the problem, to
the military commander before even judging, other  than the money paid to him
and his soldiers. Thus, Southerners returned to  the stage of the pre-state
and even worse.
V)Because Sana'a  regime
realizes more than anyone else its illegitimate existence in the south  so,
its leaders tried by all illegal means to give themselves some legitimacy  by
seducing the people and pay them bribes, and sometimes using some  southern
individuals due to their neediness in order to represent the  southerners
apparently.
Second Track: Southern
Rejection to the Tyranny  of Sana'a Regime
In despite of difficult
Economic condition imposed by the  outcome of the war of summer 1994 on the
South ,and strict Military and  Security imposed on the South; however, the
Southerner rejection to tyranny  imposed by Sana’a regime continued from
moment that Sana’a controlled South  in different forms and from different
,group, associations and individuals  ,we can summarized as:
1)Rejection begun by (MOJ)
movement ,founded in  abroad after war of summer 1994,and it play historical
role to face  psychological defeat for people of the South after the war, and
let the South  Issue be present for seven year in overseas.
2) Group to  reform
unification way : attained immediately after the war ,and state the  idea
of(remove the effects of War and reform unification convention) and  specified
the way to remove the affect of War by four points:
A) Revoke  religious fatwa
against South Yemeni's which classified them as infidel and  declared a war
against South and turned South as booty.
B) Return public  and private
properties that looted by Sana’a regime leaders under influence  of wrong
fatwa and consider it as negative outcome of war.
C) Reform all  Southern
securities and military bases and equipments and civilian  institutions as it
was before the War.
D) Revoke provisions  against
list of South Yemen leaders which included (16) members and consider  it as
fault statement, and return back displaced persons to Home and return  their
properties.
(HATM) movement: called for
self-drmination and use  armed struggle since its start on 1997.
4) National Alliance :  this
movement was extension of MOJ movement and it's first attempt to  find
political tools to introduce South Issue locally and tried to get  permission
from authority were refused to allow it.
5) People’s  Committees:
these committees were the initiatives of local people activities,  it was
great idea, but opposition parties were anti-committee which  encouraged
Sana’a regime to suppress it.
6) South Yemenis Forum  :this
forum were form by South Yemeni's who live in Sana’a they start to  claim for
rights only, but still it angered Sana’a regime but it able to stop  the
campaign carried out against rest of south Yemeni's who work in  Government
and maintained some of their rights ,where it forms the seed of  peaceful
movement.
7) Independent Assembly:
this was extension of  "group to reform unification way" and its
member separated from Socialist  party the previous dominated party in South
Yemen.
8) TAJ party: founded  on
2004 in London(UK) call for self-drmination for South and it quickly  spread
inside South provinces ,it participate to define South issue  internationally
and became main member of southern movement allies.
9)  Associations of Retired
civilian and military employees: these associations  played main role to
emergence of South Peaceful Movement ,specially military  members who form a
backbone of South Movement and it's first one to break the  barrier of fear
when protested on (Al-aroad square) in Khormaksar on  7/7/2007, and opened a
wide field to peaceful demonstration with help of  other such as Youth,
Unemployed and civil society associations.
Third  Stage: South Peaceful
Revolution (movement).
In accordance with  normal
functioning of historical event that imposed by causality(Cause  and
Effect),the Situation imposed by tyranny regime of Sana’a to South  since
7/7/1994,by using oppression tools, tribal heritage cultural that  practice
booty and cheating, and use "Divide and Rule"...etc,  inevitably
lead to revolution of South to current situation imposed by Sana’a  regime
where South people's feel that they are out of contemporary life and  backward
to earlier centuries with no hopes and aspirations, due to suffering  and pain
feeling the revolution movement clearly explicit the issue publicly  , and for
the dangerous way that Sana’a regime use to secure and consolidate  its
tyranny by drive and inject a division and discord among southern people  by
remind a past-conflict and crisis of South the first steps of  South
Revolution is not to give chance to Sana’a regime to exploit  South
past-conflict's by enact the principle of "Reconciliation  and
Tolerance" among South Yemeni's; hence, the first Forum  for
"Reconciliation and Tolerance" was held in Aden on Jan 13,2006  in
Radfan Charitable Association Headquarter, after that followed by  established
"Reconciliation and Tolerance "forums in all Southern provinces  and
cities ,Sana’a regime brutally confronted organizers and detained  activists
and close Radfan Associations Headquarters in Aden; however, the  South
reconciliation and tolerance continued to pace by interaction of all  South
People's ,then during time the Associations of Southern retired  Military and
Civilian were establish, and Youth, Students Association and  much of
political and Cultural organization were formed , protesters goes to  Streets
to announce refusal and revolt against tyranny of Sana’a regime,  South
People's shout loudly in the face of Sana’a regime saying "leave  the
land of South and No unification by force", Sana’a regime tried to  oppress
revolution by using various types of forces and intelligent ware ,but  it
fails and Southern Movement widely scattered and expanded everywhere in  South
provinces and cities ,and the barrier of fear displaced which Sana’a  regime
imposed on South over the past twelve years to inaugurate officially  peaceful
revolution of South Yemenis with objective of  Self-drmination.
And this is a brief summary
of developments of events  of revolutions:
1) South people revolted
after 7/7/2007 stretched from  Almahara province Eastern To Bab-El-Mandeb
strait Western, flying the South  Yemen National flag and demand for
self-drmination and independence from  north Yemen.
2)Even though oppression
ways, killing, and detained imposed  by Sana’a regime to suppress South
revolt, but this revolution has grown in  strength and continuous ,Sana’a
regime couldn't stop it, but success to  divert world attention and block
international media, the most important way  Sana’a regime use to divert world
attention is by using Al-Qaeda cells which  has strong relation with Sana’a
regime since the war against South in period  May 1990-1994 ... , on despite
fail to link Al-Qaeda with South Movement,  however, relatively successes in
raising serious concern and wary to  neighboring countries and developed
countries about Al-Qaeda threat which  make these countries a afraid to get
closer to Southern Movement or  understand their demand, with wrong judgment
of Realities of situation in  Yemen by emphasize unity of Yemen the only
guarantor to stability and peace  to secure interests of those countries from
Al-Qaeda threats, while the fact  is confirm and insist no peace and stability
in Yemen without resolution to  South issue.
3) Sana’a regime took
advantage to the fear and wary of  neighboring countries and the world from
Al-Qaeda to strongly oppress South  Movement, kill South people everywhere,
and detain South leaders and  activists without trial accept know-leaders who
faced intelligent court  judgment with 4 to 10 years imprisonment sentenced
,and targeting cities by  heavy weapons(tank, canons )...etc destroying
private houses and  properties.
4)Because of critical
circumstance and situation it was  essential to have organized framework for
South Movement, and began this  efforts on 2008 by establishing supreme
National Council of Liberation and  Restoration of South state" headed by
respected leader Mr/ Hassan Ahmed Baom  which make South issue as supper
Priority to its political strategic and  platform, also it has been
established during the period from Nov 2008 to  March 2009 three South
political entities (movements) all adopt independence  and Restoration of
South as main goal. Here the name of  movements:-
A)National Southern
Authority.
B)Supreme National  Authority
for Independence of South.
C)South  National
Movement(NAJAH)
many political ,Social
,tribal and academics  persons were joined to movement, also South Yemeni's
communities who live  abroad formed Associations in places where they live to
support goal of  independence of South.
5) After founded all of
indicated authorities and  Associations the dialogues begins to find way to
unified entities, those  efforts culminated in merger of all entities in May
9,2009 under one  institutional framework named "South Revolutionary
Command Council' headed by  Mr. Hassan Ahmed Baom, then the name changed to
“Supreme Council of South  Peaceful Movement”, the most important
objective(goal) to this Council is  independent and the restoration of South
state, and appointed Mr. Ali Salem  Al-Beidh as legitimate president of South,
Mr. Ali Salem engaged since his  attained in Germany after long exile in Oman
since 1994 to adopt the goal of  revolution and leadership of South by
declaring statement on  21/May/2009.
6)Oppression and butchery of
Sana’a regime to South Peoples,  assignations, kidnapping and detain Southern
rebels , more than five hundred  casualties and thousands wounded and
imprisoned with ashamed ignorance of  Arab countries and all Human rights and
Humanitarian organizations, despite  all appeal and call for help by South
people.
7) Sana’a regime tried  to
imposed tight securities grip in main southern provinces such  (Aden
,Hadrumot) by strengthen forces existence by sending thousands of  troops and
Soldiers of different division such(Central Security, National  Security
Guard, and Intelligent cells),and was able to limit Southern  movement
activities for a few months in mentioned cites ,however, by social  networking
across internet the Aden Youth's success to revolt in Feb 11,2011  and success
to break the security barriers by gathering on streets and Public  Squares and
set-up Camps, the reaction of Sana’a regime were aggressive and  bloody
specially when demonstrations attained and struggle to North Yemen  cites,
Sana'a regime pleaded(give excuse) to its aggressive manner to  South
protesters by saying "South Youths raise the independent goal  “which
threats the unity, which lead Youth in Aden and Mukalla to demand  for
"overthrow the Sana’a regime" as strategy to avoid massacre and to
not  give a regime chance to kill South People's, Sana’a regime angered for  this
step, because it want to convince to North People if the regime  overthrown
the South will separated and will lose South Wealth. is the Human  conscience
will remain silent on these crimes against Humanity ,after more  than twenty
five casualties and two hundred wounded on a few days from Feb 10  to Feb 26
2011.

We  included this report
indicating important points to hands of researchers  which will help to
understand South issue:
1) South people and  their
leaderships dedicated on the goal of unity with North viewing as dream  of
Arab nation strategy while North people classify unity as child return to  parent
land ,and unit of geography not unity of Souls and interest between  two
nations.
2)The uniqueness of land and
people between South and  North just a fake emotional slogan ,disapproved by
facts and history of South  Arabian Peninsula, it is sufficient prove that
South was region of units  Sultanates and Emirates and didn't mention name of
Yemen to South through  ages.
3) All religious laws and
prevailing international conventions today  decided not to allow the
imposition of unity by force and give to all people  right for
self-drmination.
4) South Issue's totally
differ from other  conflicts and issues existing in the World such (South
Sudan, Somalia, North  Iraq and Sahara in Morocco), because it is issue
between two countries  recognized by united Nation and World.
5) What exists between the
North  and South is not unity in accordance with all legal political and
Ethical  concepts, but it is considered to be worse than foreign occupation,
and  continuation of this situation constitute a threat to regional security
and  stability, and even threat to unity of Arab nations and integration  of
Islamic nations.
6) Past twenty years of
unity didn't prove the  fails of unity, but also fails socially and culturally
,and both nations  didn't accept each other culturally ,and become essential
to save goodwill  between nations by returns as previous situations(two
states),and thinking  thoroughly with new formulas for establishing brotherly
relationship between  two nations.
7) The South Yemenis based
on their culture ,Arab and Islamic  identities still believe in Arab unity
based on the foundation of realistic  and utilitarian values as ambitious goal
and ideological value, but geography  and annexation unit prove its failure
and creates further division and  fragmentation of the Arab .
8) South issue put on your
hands of every  seeker of truth and keen for justice and equity, and who keen
on security and  stability in this important region of the World.
