Mohammed al-Farah Warns: Saudi Arabia Seeks to Exploit Southerners in Power Struggles

Mohammed al-Farah, a member of the Ansar Allah political bureau, warned citizens in the occupied southern and eastern provinces of the dangers of the Saudi-Emirati scheme aimed at perpetuating conflict and chaos, turning them into cannon fodder in a power struggle.

In a tweet on his official account, al-Farah stated that “Saudi Arabia, after tightening its grip on the southern Yemeni provinces and expelling the UAE of its own volition—or rather, after the UAE’s role had ended—was not content with seizing land and resources, but moved to a more dangerous phase.”

He added that Saudi Arabia seeks to “turn the people of the south into military tools and cannon fodder in battles that serve its expansionist projects,” explaining that it “does not see them as partners in a cause, nor as victims whose grievances it seeks to address, but rather as a subservient force that can be mobilized and mercenaries to be exploited to complete its control over the remaining liberated areas.”

He pointed out that the Saudi occupation is pushing the people of the southern provinces “to confront their brothers in a battle that is not theirs, turning them from the oppressed into oppressors, and from those with a just cause into tools of conflict.”

He explained that “recent history bears witness that those used today are discarded tomorrow, and those pushed to the front lines are abandoned when they are no longer needed, if any remain,” alluding to the aggressor states abandoning their previous proxies, which they had used for years before being overthrown.

In closing his tweet, Al-Farah addressed the people in the occupied provinces, saying: “Your demands are not among their priorities, nor is your suffering taken into account. The goal is to complete their project of control and to use you as cannon fodder to fight your brothers, to achieve their agenda and priorities, nothing more.”
