Head of the so-called Southern National Alliance of Social Forces, Sheikh Walid Nasser al-Fadhli, has vowed to conduct an uprising against Saudi forces in all southern provinces of Yemen.

“Saudi Arabia has received the management of the southern provinces after the failure and withdrawal of the UAE (…) [and] is going in the footsteps of the latter in the southern provinces, in a very arrogant manner,” al-Fadhli said in a press statement on Saturday.

Al-Fadhli pointed out that the consultations held in Jeddah that resulted in Riyadh agreement were only consultations and arrangements of role exchange between the Saudi ally and the UAE, without any real consultation of the southern Yemeni population.

He stressed that “the people of the southern provinces have the right to manage the affairs of their country, and are not an area for the exchange of roles between the two allies.”

Fadhli called on both Saudi Arabia and the UAE to leave the southern provinces, threatening with an uprising against Saudi Arabia if they do not heed the call.
