South Voice

Today, the people of #South_Yemen marched in massive numbers to support President Aidarous al-Zubaidi and demand our rightful independence. We raise a direct message to @realDonaldTrump and the free world: "From the people of South Arabia to the leader of the world: Save our people from terrorism." Stand with us for a stable and terror-free region! @JDVance @elonmusk @DonaldJTrumpJr @RichardGrenell @TuckerCarlson

"Saudi Arabia wants a South without will.. so it created alternative components" Saudi Arabia wanted to dissolve the Transitional Council, so the millions came out. It wanted to topple the leadership, so the chants rose. It wanted to end the cause, so it was surprised by a people that does not kneel. The dissolution failed.. so came the turn of fragmentation. Alternative southern components.. countless in number Today, Saudi Arabia is creating southern components by the dozens. An entity here, a faction there, a tribal bloc in the corner. All raise the same slogans.. but all serve one agenda: dividing the South. After dismantling the southern forces that deterred the strongest agents of Iran in the region, Saudi Arabia now moves toward dismantling the southern popular will through fragmentation and division. And the Muslim Brotherhood? They remained allies.. even strong While the South is being fragmented into dozens of components, the Islah Party – the Muslim Brotherhood – remains steadfast. Supported with authority, money, and weapons. Even though the Brotherhood is classified as a terrorist group in the United States and many countries around the world. So: The Brotherhood is a strategic ally.. and the South is an enemy that must be fragmented. The equation is exposed The Brotherhood: support and strengthening. The South: fragmentation and weakening. Why? Because the South wants its independent state.. and the Brotherhood wants authority in a unified Yemen under their guardianship. And Saudi Arabia prefers a Brotherhood that serves it over southerners who reject guardianship. The result is one All these alternative components will not create a South. Because the South is not components. It is a cause. A cause called: restoring the fully sovereign independent state. As for the rest of the components.. they will dissolve as others before them dissolved. And the people remain.. and the Transitional Council remains.. and Al-Zubaidi remains.

our Sudanese brothers stood tall in front of the Saudi Embassy, exposing the interference that fuels their suffering. We, in South Yemen , share the same pain—a systematic collapse, a stolen economy, and a "neighbor" that acts as a jailer rather than an ally. It is time to unite our voices. Let the world see the reality behind the "humanitarian" mask. From Sudan to the South, we demand sovereignty and an end to the policies of neglect and domination. The era of silence is over.

A Short Film documenting the stark contrast between an era of security and building, and a current reality of darkness and neglect. When the hand that built and secured #Hadhramaut was forced out, the void was filled by nothing but empty promises and cold indifference. One side gave us hope; the other left us to rot in the heat. The masks have fallen. Watch the reality of Hadhramaut today.

?What exactly should we thank you for على ماذا نشكركم؟

Citizens were shocked today by an insane fuel price hike, with the authorities offering a pathetic excuse: "Global oil market conditions." This is an outright insult to the intelligence of anyone in Hadhramaut—the heart of Yemen's oil production. We do not import our fuel; it is extracted from beneath our feet. We are not paying for global inflation; we are paying for the systematic looting of our own resources. The undeniable truth surfaced when the Southern Forces advanced into Al-Khasha'a, decisively confronting corrupt smuggling networks. They uncovered a sprawling scandal: illegal, makeshift refineries openly siphoning off Hadhramaut’s crude oil. How did the authorities respond? Not with justice, but with warplanes. Saudi airstrikes deliberately targeted the Southern Forces to protect the oil cartels, enforcing a massive media blackout to cover up the crime. This ruthless exploiting of our national wealth by a puppet local authority forces the citizens of Hadhramaut to suffer through endless power and gas outages, paying exorbitant prices for their own stolen fuel to fund a cartel protected by foreign airpower.

Realities are forged on the ground by those who master the architecture of action, not the clamor of words. Our sovereignty is non-negotiable; the era of dictates and the illusion of guardianship is permanently over. @AmrAlBidh Architect of Southern Politics

"New High Commissioners.. and the same doomed fate" In the past, the British High Commissioner sat in Aden, running the South with his power, his weapons, and his laws. They left after the people of the South broke them. They left defeated. They left with flags of independence flying everywhere. And today.. High Commissioners in different clothing Mohammed Al Jaber – the Saudi ambassador. Falah Al-Shahrani in #Aden. Mosleh Al-Otaibi in #Shabwa. Mohammed Al-Qahtani in #Hadhramaut. They run the country. They shape policies. They move troops. They appoint and dismiss. As if the South has not yet been liberated. As if the occupation has changed its form but kept its essence. Britain left.. and Saudi Arabia will leave too The people of the South who expelled the British will never accept Saudi guardianship. The people of the South who sacrificed thousands for independence will never agree to have a new "High Commissioner" run their country. The people of #Aden know Falah Al-Shahrani. The people of #Shabwa know Mosleh Al-Otaibi. The people of #Hadhramaut know Mohammed Al-Qahtani. And they all know that these men will not stay long. A message to the new High Commissioners Ask the British about their fate in the South. Ask them about the disgrace with which they returned. Ask them about the flags of the South that never came down. The South is not a Saudi province. The South is not an emirate under guardianship. The South is a nation that has returned to its rightful owners, and they will not give it up again. Tomorrow.. you will leave just as those before you left Our flags remain. Our will is stronger. Our martyrs await us in their heavens. And you.. are nothing but fleeting names in a history that never forgets. #SouthYemen

STC delegation continues DC engagements with congressional offices, think tanks and media. The FDD and Middle East Forum have both documented the STC as the most effective counterterrorism force in southern Yemen. Since January, AQAP has expanded into territory the STC was forced to vacate. The delegation is presenting the security consequences of that decision to US policymakers

Only in the deepest darkness do we realize the absence of the moon.

#Breaking | 🚨 High-level Yemeni-Saudi talks are underway to construct a strategic oil pipeline to the Arabian Sea via #Hadhramaut & Al Mahrah. PLC sources tell Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the withdrawal of STC forces from both governorates has rapidly accelerated the project's timeline.

A coercive summons order.. and a resounding message of failure The Public Prosecution issued a coercive summons order against Professor Waddah Al-Halimi, the Acting Secretary-General of the Southern Transitional Council. An order that lacks legal justifications.. and falls within the systematic political targeting of the Council. Why Al-Halimi? Because he succeeded. Because he reactivated the Council's bodies. Because he reorganized its structural status. Because the opponents of the southern project failed to confront the Council politically and popularly, so they resorted to twisted and illegal methods. Targeting him is an admission of failure.. not the beginning of a victory. Twisted intimidation tactics The opponents bet on intimidation. They bet on prosecutions. They bet on coercive summons orders. But they forgot one thing: the unity of leadership with the masses. In Aden, and across all the governorates of the South, the masses reopened political headquarters and imposed the national will. And now the opponents are trying to take revenge through a politicized judiciary. The Southern Transitional Council declares clearly Categorical rejection of the coercive summons order. Full adherence to institutional work. And refusal to use the judiciary to serve agendas aimed at undermining southern national gains. The Council holds the parties behind this escalation fully responsible for the repercussions and consequences of this step. You will not intimidate us Intimidation tactics will not deter the leadership and the grassroots from moving forward with the southern national project under the leadership of President Aidrous Al-Zubaidi. Targeting Al-Halimi is a desperate attempt to intimidate active leaders after the success of the popular movement in the South. The peaceful protests in various cities of the South have proven the strength of the national project and foiled the opponents' bet on sidelining the Council. A message to everyone who bet on intimidating us We are here. We will remain here. Our national project will move forward despite you. The coercive summons order will not stop the advance of the southern will. The cause is greater than you. The blood that was shed in Shabwa, Aden, and Hadhramaut awaits a justice that will not come from politicized prosecutions, but from a people that has decided not to kneel. Glory to the martyrs.. and freedom is coming

The Southern Transitional Council (STC) officially reopened its headquarters in #Mukalla, #Hadhramaut this morning. A move that shifts the local political dynamics and sets the stage for the governorate's next phase.

Manufactured political facades can no longer hide the truth. The so-called "Hadhramaut Alliance" is not a grassroots movement; it is a corrupt tool engineered to monopolize local resources and disrupt regional stability under the guise of "rights." The international community must see them for what they truly are: crisis profiteers blocking genuine peace and state-building. On the ground, there remains only one solid, legitimate partner for stability—the Southern Transitional Council (STC). #SouthArabia #STC #Hadhramaut

The world is busy.. and the South pays the price While the world's attention is consumed by the escalating tensions between America, Iran, and Israel, and while international media and bodies focus on covering the major conflicts in the region, the people of the South are paying a heavy price. In the South, crimes are committed daily against unarmed civilians. They are killed in peaceful protests, roads are closed before them, their flags are confiscated, their journalists and children are arrested, and they are denied the most basic right to express their opinion. But no one sees, because the spotlight is directed elsewhere. The world's preoccupation with Iran, America, and Israel does not mean that violations in the South have stopped. On the contrary, they have continued and even escalated, as if the world has given the green light to continue repression in silence. The right of the people of the South to self-determination is no less important than any other issue in the region. A people seeking freedom and independence, yet met with live ammunition, arbitrary arrests, and field executions. International silence is complicity, and being preoccupied with the southern cause is no excuse. The blood being shed in Aden, Hadhramaut, Shabwa, and Al-Dhale'a is the blood of human beings who have the right to life, dignity, and self-determination, just like any other people in the world. To the international community: Your preoccupation does not absolve you of responsibility. The South is watching, and history will not forget.

The STC calls on the international community to enforce absolute transparency regarding the proposed Southern Dialogue in Riyadh, conditioning its participation on firm guarantees for the security and freedom of movement of its representatives.

STC to the UN Security Council: Several STC members remain detained months after being invited to Riyadh, unable to return to their residences.

The Southern Transitional Council exposes the alternative agenda before the UN Security Council In a decisive diplomatic step, the Southern Transitional Council briefed the UN Security Council on the latest developments in the South, clearly identifying the necessary measures to protect civilians and ensure that the people of the South alone determine their future. The Council was clear: no guardianship over the will of southerners, and no solutions imposed on them from outside. What is called the "alternative agenda" that some are trying to promote is nothing but a direct service to the Houthis and extremist groups, the very same forces that the Southern Transitional Council and the people of the South have stood against for decades. Southerners have always been and continue to be the first line of defense for the region, yet today some are trying to marginalize and exclude them from their own future. The Transitional Council declares to the world: no solution in the South without the people of the South, no peace without a free southern will, and no security in the region without empowering southerners to determine their own destiny. Any solution that bypasses these facts is a recipe for continued conflict and the expansion of terrorism. The people of the South have decided to be the makers of their own decisions, and the Southern Transitional Council will remain the true support for this will, diplomatically, politically, and on the ground, until the fully sovereign independent state is achieved.
