The policy of assassinations pursued by the Yemeni occupation regime since the failure of the project of unity signed in 1990, affecting southern leaders, officers and cadres, is one of the most important strategic policies that the mortal Ali Abdullah Saleh and his ally the Islah Party, the branch of the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen, implemented.  Assassination crimes against southern cadres, even if it indicates something, it only indicates the malicious goals and intentions that the generals of Sanaa and their tribal and religious forces hide against the south and its capabilities.

 * Assassination of the Unity Project *

 After the signing of the failed unity project between the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen and the Yemen Arab Republic on May 22, 1990 AD, and the subsequent political crises between the partners, the Sana’a regime deliberately betrayed its partner and overthrew that project with the aim of emptying the south of its political and military cadres to make it easier for them to control it and plunder its capabilities and wealth.  Where the first assassination occurred against the south on January 29, 1990, against the southern young woman, Lina Mustafa Abdel-Khaleq, who was found murdered in the gardens of the house of the so-called Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani in Sana’a, after she was kidnapped from her home in the capital, Aden.  and military officers in Sana’a until 1994, and with the decimated Ali Abdullah Saleh declaring war on the south on April 27, 1994 from the Seventy Square in Sana’a, and the accompanying unjust religious fatwa issued by then-Minister of Justice Abd al-Wahhab al-Dailami blaming the people of the south and analyzing their blood, land and money, followed by a barbaric invasion  The capital, Aden, and the southern governorates, by the Yemeni occupation army, the northern tribal and religious forces, and the Arab jihadists coming from Afghanistan, and their perpetration of the most heinous crimes  Raed humanity by bombing cities and villages, targeting civilians, destroying institutions, factories and all state components in the south, in a complete coup against the unity project.

 *political qualifiers*

 The Yemeni occupation regime expelled thousands of southern soldiers and civilians from their jobs after the occupation of the south.  He made him rethink using the assassination card to liquidate opponents who threaten their existence and dominance over the capabilities of the south, as the southerners rose up in a massive revolution to demand independence and the restoration of the southern state that existed until 1990, but soon the assassinations returned to the southern street against officers, judges, and competencies,  Young leaders and activists who lead the movement, or stand by it, as reports indicate that the number of assassinations carried out by the Yemeni occupation forces and its intelligence services between 1995 and 2007 is twice the number of those who were assassinated before the invasion of the south, and from 2009 to 2013 were carried out more than  126 assassinations of southern military and security officers, in addition to hundreds of physical killings of leaders, activists, imams of mosques and preachers in an attempt  To avoid their inability to put down the genie of the southern revolution and the political moves of the southerners aimed at forming a regional and international public opinion in support of the cause of the people of the south.

 *cloak of terror*

 Assassinations often take place in the south, except for the terrorist mantle used by the Yemeni occupation regime and its media machine to cover up their crimes for decades.  of terrorism and accusing the southerners, so that it would be easier for them to carry out their criminal plans;  From physical liquidations, enforced disappearances, and the continuation of looting wealth, even keeping the south under their control and dominance, and there are many evidences of those assassinations linked to terrorism, including targeting the Hadrami elite soldiers in Hadramout Valley, the Shabwani elite in Shabwa, and the soldiers of the security belt in the capital Aden, Abyan, and Lahj.  In addition to the assassination of prominent military leaders.

 *Serving the Houthis and the Brotherhood*

 Since the liberation of the south in 2015, the terrorist Houthi and Muslim Brotherhood groups have been working against the southern project and all those who call for the independence of the south and the restoration of the state, and whenever the Islah party felt the fall and the defeat of its political project, the south witnessed the handover of regions, cities and fronts to the Houthis by the Brotherhood’s army, in addition to exchanging information  And sending the coordinates of the movements of the southern leaders, so that the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group would then target them with ballistic missiles and booby-trapped marches.

 In a previous period, the Houthi group sent a booby-trapped march during a military parade of the southern forces at the Al-Anad military base, and the march targeted the display platform, and the deputy chief of staff, Major General Saleh Al-Zindani and Major General Muhammad Saleh Tammah, head of military intelligence, and dozens of wounded, and the Brotherhood’s Houthi servers sent their coordinates.  The display platform in Salah al-Din camp during a military parade of the Security Belt forces, while the target was the leader Abu al-Yamamah. Indeed, the Houthi group sent a ballistic missile, after which the leader Abu al-Yamamah fell as a martyr, with dozens of wounded next to him, as well as the bombing of Aden International Airport and Ataq Airport, in addition to targeting the military parade.  Al-Samoud Square in Al-Dhalea, with a ballistic missile and the martyrdom of a number of soldiers, followed by the operation of targeting the training course of the 3rd Giants Brigade at Al-Anad base with a ballistic missile.

 This service did not stop during the last period, as coordination reached its highest levels and the service between the two groups, the latest of which was the assassination of the heroic commander Major General Thabet Jawas, commander of the Al-Anad military axis, while passing through the Green City, north of the capital, Aden, with a car bomb that targeted his convoy, and the heroic leader Jawas and his companions were killed.  And the fingers point to the terrorist Houthi movement and the terrorist Islah party, the only two groups of assassinations that occur against southern leaders, cadres and competencies, with the aim of striking the Southern Transitional Council project and eliminating any dream of a southern state, after emptying the south of its competencies and political and military leaders,  and security.
