President Al-Zubaidi holds meeting with leadership of Supreme Military Commission of Southern Army and Security
The President of the Southern Transitional Council, Supreme Commander of the Southern Armed Forces, President Aidarous Qassem Al-Zubaidi, held a meeting today, Wednesday, with the leadership of the Supreme Military Commission of the Southern Army and Security.
In the meeting, the President welcomed the leadership of the Commission, praising the heroic role of the southern military leaderships and their courage in defending the south, during the second invasion of the south in 2015.
President Al-Zubaidi praised their long struggle role, since the start of the Southern Peaceful Movement in 2007, through the Southern Military Retirees Association, which took the lead in calling on the people of the south to take to the streets and express their legitimate demands for liberation, independence and the restoration of the southern state.
President Al-Zubaidi stressed his sensing of the great suffering of the members of the southern armed forces, and the accumulated problems, due to cutting of salaries for several months, noting that the Council pays great importance to the southern military institution as solid foundation for building the next federal state of the South.
In turn, the head of the Military Commission, Major General Saleh Ali Zongul, expressed his happiness and the leaders of the Commission for holding this meeting with President Al-Zubaidi, stressing the Commission's confidence in the great efforts of President Al-Zubaidi and the Transitional Council in defending the south.
Zongul pointed out that the southern army had been marginalized and abused, as Sana'a governments worked to fight all members of the southern military and security forces and forcibly dismissed them from their jobs, and deprived them of their most basic rights.
Major General Zongul presented to President Al-Zubaidi an integrated explanation of the steps taken by the military Commission, stressing that the southern army has been without salaries for more than (15) months, in addition to the bonuses that its members were denied of due to the government's practices and its great corruption.
In conclusion, the leadership of the military Commission stressed the need to restore the southern army and security, calling for the need to put pressure on the government to release their salaries and not to deduct them.
