[Yemen Post] Southern factions will participate in Yemen's comprehensive dialogue conference expected early next year, said Muhammad Ali Ahmed after the few-day national conference for the south people.Ahmed is a southern leader who returned from exile this year and had arranged for the conference.
He said at a news conference on Wednesday all the southern factions, which participated in the south conference, will take part in Yemen's dialogue as he criticized some southern factions receiving financial support from abroad.
"We will participate in the dialogue in a way that satisfies our people and address their demands and rights fairly. The participation will be based on the document and view of the south people that have been submitted to the international community," he said.
"Dialogue is a civilized way to defend our rights. The people have confidence in the southern leaders and politicians; hence, we should have fair representation that can serve the ambitions of the south people".
Ahmed criticized southern factions and leaders receiving external financial support and factions being controlled or administered by the political security and the national security. "The financiers of such factions are just wine and drugs smugglers and traders," he said.
On Tuesday, Ahmed exposed Iranian plots to spread chaos and affect the south cause including attracting and financing southern leaders and planning to recruit southern youths for Iranian goals.
The factions, which participated in the south conference, represented all southern political bodies and parties as well as the members who signed the code of ethics announced at the end of the conference, he said.
"The southern people have a cause and they should defend it in the right way," he said, criticizing some factions which he said are seeking to distort the cause.
