The Southern State 

When History Demands a Decision: Why Declaring the Arab Southern State Is No Longer Optional

the historic moment has fully matured, and declaring the state today is not merely a political step but a fulfillment of the blood of martyrs and the will of millions. You carry the mandate of a patient and resilient people, and announcing the state now transforms decades of sacrifice into full sovereignty. History does not wait for the hesitant; statehood is declared by leaders when conditions are complete, and today those conditions are undeniably complete. The Southern State already exists on the ground through functioning institutions, security forces, and governance structures, making the declaration a natural culmination rather than a gamble. The South is ready, and the people stand with you step by step. Declaring the state now protects Hadramout and all southern regions under the umbrella of one strong and unified state. Those who safeguarded security and fought terrorism with determination deserve to declare their state with confidence. International recognition begins with a bold declaration, because initiative shapes reality, and political timing favors those who act decisively. The people have granted legitimacy, and it is time to use that legitimacy to declare full sovereignty. The Southern State is not a slogan or an aspiration; it is a set of ready institutions waiting for formal announcement. Every delay gives opponents room to maneuver, while declaration removes excuses and ambiguity. The South will not be governed by fear, and announcing the state is a message of strength, not confrontation. History will record that when all conditions were met, Aidrous Al-Zubaidi declared the state. Declaring now preserves southern unity and prevents fragmentation, because states are declared when peoples demand them, and the southern people have made their demand unmistakably clear. Hadramout cannot be separated by airstrikes or force; geography and identity are one, and the South is Hadramout just as Hadramout is the South. Any attempt to impose separation by violence will fail before popular will, as Hadramout is the heart of the South, not a margin to be negotiated away. Aggression does not create new borders, and bombing only strengthens cohesion rather than dividing it, because the South and Hadramout share one unbreakable destiny. Projects of forced separation collapse before a simple truth: Hadramout is an integral part of the southern national project and will never be detached from it, nor turned into an imposed emirate against its identity and collective will. Declaring the Southern State is a historic right that can no longer be postponed, and the call for statehood reflects the will of an entire people after decades of struggle and thousands of martyrs. The South confronted Al-Qaeda and the Houthis, protected Gulf and regional security, and safeguarded maritime routes, earning the right to its state today. Declaring the Southern State crowns sacrifices made in defense of Arab and Islamic security, and those who protected coastlines and fought terrorism deserve a state that protects them in return. The Southern State stands as the real barrier against extremism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and destabilizing militias, and those who fought terrorism for decades should not be rewarded with airstrikes but with recognition of their legitimate state. Bombing will not prevent the declaration of the Southern State; it only accelerates the moment of independence and confirms that the project has become a reality on the ground. The will of peoples cannot be bombed, geography cannot be erased, and history cannot be rewritten by force. The South has chosen its state, and the debate is over. There is no return to guardianship or imposed arrangements, because the Southern State represents stability, not a threat to it. The South did not seek privileges or concessions, only its right to statehood, and restoring the state is a popular decision with no path backward. Declaring the Southern State is the most realistic solution to ending chaos and prolonged crisis, as it is built on institutions, an army, security forces, and an existing administrative system. Every delay only prolongs a crisis whose time has ended, because no legitimacy surpasses the legitimacy of sacrifice. The Southern State protects its people and closes the doors to massacres and disorder, and a people who offered thousands of martyrs cannot be asked to remain silent. Declaring the Southern Arab State is loyalty to the blood of the fallen, and this right cannot be extinguished by force. Justice cannot be selective or divided, and while Saudi Arabia publicly acknowledges the justice of the southern cause, actions on the ground contradict those words through military pressure and policies that undermine the very essence of justice. Recognizing a just cause cannot coexist with bombing and violations of law, because justice is not enforced by aircraft. The gap between rhetoric and reality exposes a dangerous contradiction that erodes credibility and legal principles, as supporting a just cause in words while striking its people in practice undermines both justice and legitimacy. Justice must be respected in word and deed, or acknowledged as being violated by current policies.
