Who care for their thoughts!!?
As a large number of
young people in southern Yemen, I listen with huge interest to our older
generation of politicians who have been raised during the socialist and left
way of thinking .However ,we , often , do not agree with what they talk about.
Democratic Yemen,
Southern Yemen or South of Yemen all the latter names refer to Democratic
Republic of Yemen. The latter is the last development of South Yemen that
entered the Yemeni Union Project with Arab Republic of Yemen or North Yemen if
you wish to call it.
In South Yemen, there was 21 entities distributed as Sheikhdom and Sultanate until the British Colony had come. It ruled South Yemen for 98 Years to create what was named Federation of South Arabia that consisted of eastern and western Sultanates and Sheikhdoms as well as Aden , the heart of South Yemen.
After the Declaration
of Independence from the British colony in the November 30, 1967, the People's
Republic of South Yemen was declared, which has changed its name to People’s Democratic
Republic of Yemen, and was inherited by political leaders, followers of the
leftist Socialist.
In South Yemen, there was 21 entities distributed as Sheikhdom and Sultanate until the British Colony had come. It ruled South Yemen for 98 Years to create what was named Federation of South Arabia that consisted of eastern and western Sultanates and Sheikhdoms as well as Aden , the heart of South Yemen.
Far from the details of military and political conflicts in South Yemen,
there was intellectual and Religious diversity.For example in the state of Aden,
there was an ethnic coexistence of Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Magi, Bohra
and Muslims and all of them coexisted side by side where still now there are Protestant
and Catholics churches as well as the graveyards of the Jews and the British. Aden
is always proud to have the presence of one of the main and oldest gathering of
Masons in The Arabian Peninsula.
This is
beside the comers from Maherah, Hadramout, Socotra, Yafea, Hougreia, and
Arrivals from India and Somalia. Moreover, there were a number of British
citizens who created the first core of multi ethnic community that contributed
in the prosperity of life and the evolution of thought and business in Aden.
Currently,
there are many talks about the future of South Yemen as a number of politicians
came again to the surface that used to wrestle among themselves. They come and
talk about Future of South Yemen which they have been always wrestling about
which eventually led to inheritance of blood.
Today, young
people who are between 20 and 30s, lived in the Yemeni Union decade with all
its positive and negative aspects as well as they heard their grandparents'
stories about Aden, look forward to being empowered to contribute in making
their future.

German disturbance in Yemen
Eastern
Germany has a special memorial relationship in many minds of South Yemen
citizens. Also, many thanks for Federal Republic of Germany to the development
efforts implemented by German NGOs working in Yemen such as DAAD, that offers
post graduate Scholarships in Germany, GIZ which has an effective role in
promoting development and capacity building as well as Friedrich Ebert
Stiftung- Yemen Office which also has a clear imprint in strengthening the
political and civic life. In addition , the German Culture council that plays a
prominent role in highlighting the talent of Adeni young man, Amr Gamal in his
play (Maak Nazil – Stop here ) which is an adeni version of the German play
(Line 1) ,directed by Volker Ludwig one of the most important plays in the
history of Germany today, due first show of 1986 .
But the
required German intervention between citizens of the united Yemen has become a
nuisance! What has changed?!
Since 1994 war,
during which the second part in the Yemeni Union project, the republic of Arab
Yemen, had won and gotten vital support from some of the smart southern
leaders. A number of Southerners think that the fruit of this war was an
occupation and thus since that date, they express their resistance and refusal
in peaceful and civil ways. Also, they demand the international community, and
Germany is among the first, fair intervention to help them regain their state
through a public referendum, under specific standard supervised by UN that
allows southerners to express their demand without any custody.
Since Philip
Holsapfl, the German ambassador deputy in Yemen had written his second article
(Fever or Death) that came as a style of (Unity or Death), which was a painful
title by the previous president of Yemen “Ali Saleh” which means that it is a
must for Southerners to keep on Yemeni Unity or they will be killed .And anger
among southerners as well as the number of articles written by intellectuals in
the South Yemen were rapidly increasing.
An Expert of
Law and International Relations, Dr. Saqqak wrote: "on the impact of the
defeat of Germany in World War I and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles
International in 1919 both of which put the agreement on harsh conditions on
Germany that compensated France for the loss that has befallen as a result of
the war and the establishment of France to dismantle a number of factories of
Germany and transported to France”.
“This
agreement was considered humiliating and harsh on Germany and led to produce
the emergence of Hitler and his Nazi regime, taking advantage of the terms of
this Agreement to fill in the people of Germany against France to avenge them
and restoring the dignity of Germany and its people. Moreover, the Nazi Hitler
destroyed Hitler's Germany to the detriment of Europe's entire return. We are
elite people of the south and I am one of them with associations of retirees
and military and security in 2007 stood against what is our right in the South
in the 1994 war genocide and the dismantling of its factories and the
exploitation of its wealth of warlords in the north .the peaceful struggle and
request of the disengagement did not let the case to the ethnic cleansing of
the brothers in the north, but condemned localization of the human of the South
by northerners and the distribution of land for free at our expense .I do not
want to go even further so as not to revisit and corrupt great history of the
people of Germany by Hitler and after Hitler". he added
Another
artical written by Farouk Naser, the title is (You too, Hitler's grandson) : "Why
we did not hear your voice and the voice of your government commenting on Abyan
crimes and Al-Majela crime, Oh Hitler's grandson!!! Laoder and all Abyan
liberated by its people… oh mercenary, and legendary steadfastness of Laoder's
people and what about Mansoora blockade and all Aden? did what happen met with
your thoughts and mind that full of Nazi Hitlar and racism or still innocent
blood less than what you and US thought of? "

Article
named "Old Habit overmaster new habit " written by No'man Al-Musfri,
said: " I cannot comment, but feel mercy on our friend to advise the
German foreign Ministry to speed up in treating the vise ambassador and save
him from his current condition, before he slides into an abyss that is harmful
on the German nation and its interest with the people of the region. And to
treat this harm, a quick apology to the noble southern people will do its
effort in refurnishing the relation and restore the trust with the southern
nation which owes Germany all love, appreciation and respect".

“The Ambassador
Deputy says this without prove it or demonstrate it with any of the materials
of international law, and without proof of evidence do not find myself obliged
to answer ... Thing that is not proof of
its existence, no need for us to infer the evidence of exile!" he Added.

On the other hand,
Ahmed AbdulElah wrote an article “Vice Gernam Ambassador puts a limit to the
dialogue". In the Article: " Yemen is not Germany where the author
came from and he realizes how the German unification was fulfilled and how the
infrastructure development and economical programs were expensive: How this all
was recruited by the treasury of West Germany for its new partner? and he
remembered that one of the main parties in West Germany (the Socialists Party)
did not support the idea of unification at that time until the
economic recovery of East to prevent the Western dominance on the sector of the
economy of the east state and which has already been when all industries of
East collapsed from the very beginning unless some of which could survive.
Thus, some eastern categories miss its past. However, the unity Germany was
based on solidarity and sacrifice of money to raise the efficiency of the weak
partner, which came in the federation in a democratic voluntary way after the
elections that followed the fall of the eastern regime. And the unity was not fulfilled
through an agreement that brought two leaders together who had mutual emotions
in a moment when politics worn a romantic dress and there was no war ended up
by one part winning and the other has been faded”.
he added:
" we have to hope that the Deputy of German Ambassador does not represent
the orientation of his state by his own writing, because what presented by you
on a permanent basis will remain in the memory of southerners people who are
keen to keep Germany as a friend in the present and future. No one believed
that he was able to hit the fence about the will of a people no matter how
powered is. "
Ali and
Mohammed Assadi wrote an article entitled (Deputy German Ambassador, "and
a permanent standing with the offender against the victim"), wrote: "
you Does your wrote: fever Option or death, is a translation of the saying Ali
Abdullah Saleh: Unity or Death?!! It is wired to the diplomacy of the free
world to reach this level. do your Excellency know that the people of the south
are targeted every day to die and killed and oppress?!?! "
“Will care
who in the sea the threatened him by water!! It is impossible to a wise person
to expect stability without fair solution to the Southern issue, based on
Southerners options and aspirations.. and you all know the options! “He Added

Nader Abdul
Quddus wrote an article called “Holsapfil and his international law!” wrote: “the
surprise, was not that clear bias to impose a stay on the unity for the
southerners with the northerners , even by force! But the surprise was the detailed
to the international law according to his understanding based on what he want ,
or as it seen by his state policy towards the southern movement “.

It is worth
to mention that the above quotes are few
of many articles written in addition to protests
that comes as response to what German
Ambassador Deputy in Yemen wrote , in
contrast to demonstrations and sit-ins of his articles condemning the repeated
describe it against hostile citizens demand to recover the state of South
Yemen.
And finally
... Imagine that South Yemen is East Germany, which demands secession from the Unity
project with West Germany (North Yemen). The citizens of East Germany come out
almost daily to the streets demanding to get their state back, the question:
How does Philip (German Ambassador Deputy) will deal with the demands of the
citizens of East Germany!!?

What we can expect more!?
a year has passed since Ansar Al-Share'a announced their Islamic Emirate
in the Capital of Abyan (Zainjebar) beside Ja'ar city which changed its name to
(Weqar). For about year, the rest of
families who are still there get military attacks from Yemeni Army, and
military ships (US, British and French) that are close to Shoqra coast that belong
to Abyan Province as well as US drones. Also, people there speak about
participation of Saudi Air craft. Simply it is the hell, on daily bases, for
families who chose to stay rather than to flee to Aden schools.Ansar Al-Share'a is an organic group belongs to AQAP aiming, based on their definition, to stretch to create Islamic caliphate .In Khor Makser district - Aden, that is close to Abyan Province, you can hear sounds of furious military battles breaking peace sound that is loved by Adeni families.
In Khor Makser district as well, clearly you can read statements on streets' walls such as (We want to implement Allah religious law), (We want an Islamic caliphate ) and (Coming to liberate Jerusalem ), as well as drawing the flag of Ansar Al-Share'a in their Islamic Emirate on the Wall of Yemenia Airline Office !
I met ,in person, young people live in Crater area - Aden, in an area called (Al-Khusaf). They joined Ansar Al-Share'a for an amount of money about 1000.000 YER as well as a Kalashnikov. And when I asked them about the return for this big amount of money that equals about 5000 USD and the Kalashnikov ?, " We pledged our prince on hearing and obedience, and commitment to implement what we are ordered at any time " one of them answered.
Among the five young men I met, no one finished his university degree nor is married and they all shared same backgrounds
(Family disputes and low economic situation). They do not seem to be Islamic extremists too!
One of them assured me that there are many deployed in all districts of Aden.
A while ago, a website called (Aden News Agency) reported about a Place that is believed to be a jihadi Islamic groups
practicing venue at night in a mountain called "Qwareer" between Serah and Malla'a !
Back to Abyan, recently Mr. President of Yemen "Hadi" made his
orders to liberate the capital of Abyan and Ja'ar city .But the
fierce fighting on the ground drive me to confirm that
the process of liberation from
the grip of Ansar Al-Share'a may need more than only military operations and U.S drones !
Video broadcasted by Maded News Agency that belongs to Ansar Al-Share'a,
shows families accepted to be ruled by Allah religious law, which is implemented by Ansar Al-Share'a ,and they thanked
them for their efforts !
In their Islamic Emirate ,Ansar Al-Share'a did not focus too much on
military side, but made services to people who wish to rest years of suffering ! Services like Financial assistance and food in addition to
medical services, electricity and water. The Two services :electricity
and water that are ,in the economic and commercial capital of united Yemen
(Aden), cut off around 12 hours a day and the water stopped for about 24 hours a week!
In fact, what happened in Abyan tells us clearly that
the ordinary citizen does not care
about what politicians are saying nor care about the fight
against terrorism, not even the unity of
Yemen! .Instead they care about who will give
them the most basic necessities
of life in areas not accustomed
to such a situation before the time of the Yemeni unity , as the
services and food were provided by the socialist government for all citizens in south Yemen.
Finally, the Military operations and U.S drones will support the idea of
Ansar Al-Share'a members distribution around Yemen! And Perhaps
will be usual to see the remains of the dead bodies here and there across Yemen! who knows
! Hunger ravaging the citizens like wildfire!

Amena , The Little innocent refugee girl in Yemen asking for Help
When you are a refugee , it is a problem
When you are a child refugee , is a complicated problem
When you are a sick refugee child , that's what is called a misery
But this girl still has hope . When you see her , she smiles at you although she can hardly see you. You know why ? because cancer did not excuse her age or need and made her partially blind. She has no friends because they get scared when they see her and older people tend not to let their kids to play with Amena claiming that her disease is contagious and will affect other kids too.
Amena had a genetic skin disease that was not cured or even diagnosed and this caused skin cancer. She needs skin check ups and special diagnosis and unfortunately they are not available in Yemen.Skin Cancer is treated by Radiation , but the type of Radiation in Yemen is very hard on children. Thus , Amena needs to be treated outside Yemen by the suitable radiation.
With your contribution , Amena will keep smiling , but a healthy smile ,free of cancer .
