Ali Salem Al Bedh Statement
Some excerpts…
Attacking our country by military force, announced the begining of a new era of our peoples’ history. The unity of political, peaceful and democratic conception was reverted into a clear military occupation. And reverted our country from a partner into occupation and copied its exercises by occupation characteristics such as:
- Completely isolating the sons of the south from the participation in the political and administrative decision, and where ever there
is some representation, it is but a decoration with due respect to our brohters working with the 7th July Regime.-Puting the south (land and man) under a strong military and security fist. The Ocupation Authoriy thrusted military and security forces in the south transcended in its numbers the double of our
southern military at a period before the unity.-Depriving our southern people from its resources of oil, fisheries and land in favour corruption, war and spoilage forces.
-Antagonizing people against each other by means of “break and rule”
I urge the people of the south to stand firmly as one in the epic of
the peaceful struggle and the adheracne of it without deviation of serving the occuatpion or prolonging the period of occupation…..
and my concern today pesonally and on behalf of my coleagues in the government before the unity who are now standing by their people, is our expressing our apology for our Honorble southern
people for the ravages they endured during the past period which
was as a restult of political circumstances and factors beyond our control and our wishes which were sweeping the world.I am honored today to carry on shoulders the responsibility of the National duty affirming to be in the fron lines of your peaceful struggle towards liberation and independence, abandoning any partisan membership considering the homeland is bigger than all parties reaffirming to you all that my role will restricted only to the liberation period and I will deliver the flag afterwards to the youthful southern generations, returing to the the people’ citizenship as counsel when needed.
