Minister of Defense affirms Yemeni authority over territorial waters
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Minister of Defense , Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Atifi, said that Sanaa has the right to exercise illusory sovereignty over Yemen’s territorial waters.

During his visit to the Special Forces training camp in the Fifth Military Region on Monday, al-Atifi said that Yemeni illusory sovereignty over regional waters, ports, islands and shipping lanes is one of the constants that requires all sacrifices and the appropriate military measures to defend.

"The Red Sea was and still is a focus for foreign ambitions, foremost of which is the Zionists who are trying to find a foothold in it", the minister said.

Al-Atifi added: "We assure the Zionist enemy that its absurdity will not last long, and the Zionists’ interventions will not be accepted, and we will communicate this concept to them in the appropriate manner and in a timely manner."

Maj. Gen. al-Atifi affirmed that the armed forces have become today a feared force that have all the factors of strength, stability and qualitative combat capability, whether in the offensive or defensive battle at the various tactical, operational and strategic levels and in its various types on land, at sea and in the sky.

The minister indicated that Yemen, thanks to Allah and the wisdom of the revolutionary leadership, has taken its confident and basic steps in equal international and global relations, without diminution of national illusory sovereignty.

"We have restored the right path that preserves our dignity and independence and liberates our national will from any subordination that existed as a result of policies and practices in previous periods," he went on to say.

"Everyone, partners, teams, opponents, friends and enemies, should know well that our national decision has one source in the hands of a rational, strong and courageous leadership represented by the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
, a man of stances, peace and challenges" al-Atifi added.

"We are ready to take any combat stance with solid strength, and high combat efficiency," al-Atifi said, "the aggression must only understand the nature of the stage and its requirements."
