Ansar Allah's Al-Bakhiti on Al Mayadeen ClubHouse on January 30, 2022.
A prominent member of the Political Bureau of Ansar Allah Movement, Muhammad Al-Bakhiti, joined a ClubHouse room with Al Mayadeen and spoke about Yemen's political transitions, stressing issues of sovereignty and no foreign interference.
Al-Bakhiti said that "the possibility of a political solution in Yemen was, is, and will continue to exist," stressing that "Ansar Allah has the will and decision-making power for a Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue without foreign interference."
Al-Bakhiti added that the Yemeni parties must present their visions of a political process that will govern Yemen, noting that "the only reference in the country is the Yemeni people who will be a means of pressure on political entities and will be present to keep an eye on their performance." He stressed that "President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi does not have authority and cannot implement what he's trying to do."
Addressing the crisis in Yemen, Al-Bakhiti said that it has become regional, so an external party will be needed for dialogue, stressing that Ansar Allah is ready for a Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue, whether domestically or through their delegation in Oman, and that the Movement wants other Yemeni parties to be partners with them in restoring Yemen's independence.
Al-Bakhiti: We invite the Muslim Brotherhood to dialogue
In another context, Al-Bakhiti told Al Mayadeen ClubHouse that they, as Ansar Allah, refused to include the Muslim Brotherhood on their list of terrorism, adding that "we need unity in the face of America and Israel, and we want the Muslim Brotherhood to survive this battle after they lost in various Arab countries."
Saudi Arabia, UAE are blackmailing Arab countries to participate in the aggression
Addressing Saudi Arabia and UAE's blackmailing of Arab countries to participate in their aggression on Yemen, Al-Bakhiti said that "the Zionist Arabs were celebrating when Israel bombed Syria and the same is happening to Yemen."
"The Israeli enemy and Saudi Arabia are on the same page," he asserted.
He also pointed out that "there are Arab regimes that are complicit against Yemen, and there are other Arab countries participating in the aggression other than Saudi Arabia and the UAE, such as Sudan," stressing that "Saudi Arabia and the UAE blackmail Arab countries to participate in the aggression."
Highlighting that authorities do not represent the people, particularly in Egypt, Al-Bakhiti said, "What we heard concerning Egyptian experts participating in the war on Yemen does not represent the Egyptian people."
Finally, he said that shame is the destiny of all Arab countries participating in the aggression against Yemen.
Tehran plays a proactive role
Reality confirms Tehran's proactive role in countering US hegemony - the same could be said about Beirut and Al-Quds, Al-Bakhiti explained, pointing out that the countries of aggression always "try to characterize Iran as the enemy."
He postulated that what melds Iran and Yemen together is a common denominator, which is the confrontation of US hegemony in the region, maintaining that it is never a relationship of a superior and a subordinate and slamming the claims that the forces fighting in Yemen are followers of foreign forces as false.
Finally, he declared that Ansar Allah's executive arms are in the hands of Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, and that "the negotiating delegation abroad is meeting with Ansar Allah leaders - and, they are aware that the decisions are in our hands and not in any foreign country's hands."
An eye for an eye
Regarding the recent developments in Shabwa, Al-Bakhiti explained that what happened there "is the withdrawal of the Giants Brigades," knowing that the Yemeni Armed Forces announced today, Sunday, that they had launched a ballistic missile "which targeted a large gathering of UAE and ISIS mercenaries in Al-Naqoub, west Shabwa."
According to the Yemeni leader, "the UAE was leaning toward withdrawing from Yemen, but after US and Israeli pressure, they kept their forces in Socotra, Bab Al-Mandeb, and Perim Island," asserting that "greed in the southern provinces pushed the UAE into its most recent escalation."

He explained that Abu Dhabi miscalculated the move, thinking that it would remain safe after its escalation.
"Ansar Allah does not speak from a position of weakness, but rather from a position of strength, and it will meet escalation with escalation," he asserted.
Most of Marib's districts have been liberated
When it came to addressing the liberation of Marib Governorate, Al-Bakhiti declared that "so far, most of its 10 districts have been liberated, and two districts that contain gas fields are still to be liberated."
He explained that the coalition of aggression knows the sensitivity of the liberation of Marib and that its liberation will be equivalent to breaking the siege on Yemen due to the wealth and riches this governorate possesses.
