Military Options Open, New Surprises

Local Editor

In an exclusive interview with al-Ahed news, the official spokesperson for the Yemeni army, Colonel Sharaf Luqman ,stated that the army and popular committees’ military options are open.

"Our options will remain open, they are numberless, and they are limitless. The fiercer the aggression was, the similar the response would be. For every action there is an equal reaction. We will remain on the same path."

Luqman added that their strategic options came as a result of the changes on ground. The stances would be based upon the developments in fighting the Saudi-led coalition. "The more the enemy went on in its aggression and arrogance, the more options we would have to cause them pain and damage," he added.

The military official continues on, "the previous stages were elementary, in which we hoped that Saudi Arabia would learn its size and stop its aggression. However, it didn’t stop the aggression, it rather went too far in its arrogance. In the few past days, we stormed several Saudi sites there, who in turn revenged by "Israeli" and American aerial attacks against women and children in the many cities and towns of Yemen, killing many and destroying much more. This is the only thing they could do. However, we will keep our path to restore the occupied areas in the Northern Yemeni provinces since more than 80 years."

Regarding the comparison between the political solution and military action, Col. Luqman stressed that: "The military path and the political one are parallel but not equal. We, in the army and the popular forces, have an agenda, a target, and a plan based on a strategy of going in parallel and moving forward, which we started with cleaning the occupied areas."

Moreover, he emphasized that: "What would result from the political negotiations is a different issue. It would stop the army’s movement, but we notice that every time the Yemenis approach an agreement, Saudi Arabia intervenes in the last moments to fail this dialogue and interfere in the Yemeni issue."

"There is no way to retreat unless we have our independent decision, policy, and will. The Yemenis are free to make their local Yemeni decision," he added.

On the issue of the Saudi plan to hand the South for the Wahhabis known as "ISIS", al-Qaeda and Ansar al-Sharia, the official Yemeni stance came as follows: "For us, whoever enters the country, time will come when we will return to the South and liberate it from them as long as they didn’t withdraw respectfully. The coming days will prove this, and we will make new surprises every day we enter a new region, every time we produce a new missile, and every time we follow a new tactic. This is the path we are following. I reassure our dear ones in South Lebanon, in Hizbullah and the entire Arab world, that we are the supporters of resistance, we reject oppression. We die not to be humiliated or oppressed."
