Statement by official spokesman of the Transitional Council regarding statements of Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism

Let His Excellency, the Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Muammar Al-Eryani know, and he undoubtedly knows that his federal state, which he says he came to Mukalla to convince the people of Hadramout to adhere to it, is a rejected project as much as their rejection of this visit to the capital of their governorate, and he has to control his statements and abide by the ethics and principles of hospitality, otherwise there will be a position for the people of Hadramout restrains him, that their extended sacrifices, since his country’s forces invasion to the south in 1994 until today, do not accept mocking by talking about reformulating their occupation through their alleged federal project.
