Deputy Director of the Moral Guidance Department, Brigadier General Abdullah bin Amer, commented on the American presence in Socotra, its occupation of the island, and the deployment of a defense system there.
Bin Amer said, “The American talk about strengthening its defenses on the island of Socotra confirms the effectiveness of the Yemeni attacks towards the Indian Ocean, because if there had not been successful operations towards the Indian Ocean, the Americans would not have needed to strengthen their defenses. This is first.
Secondly, the statement is a clear acknowledgment of the illegal presence of its forces in Yemeni Socotra.”
