Many who take an interest in the South find themselves more comfortable engaging & relating with non Southerners on matters relating to the South.
I can't help but believe they think views of S may not sit nicely with their world views & they look for any reason to discount them
@BillCoo29386847@NickJBrumfield Nick mentions fringe group(s) in the same breath as unity. That's like mentioning the solidarity party in the US & claiming its substantive.
S don't think they need a referendum. They believe they entered in 90 without R. And left 94. Occupation followed

Does #SouthYemen (#SouthArabia) need to have a referendum for independence
or can it declare independence without a referendum?
هل يحتاج #الجنوب_العربي إلى استفتاء من أجل الاستقلال أم ممكن تعلن الاستقلال دون استفتاء؟
@AsherOrkaby@RepRoKhanna @jami_taylor @ThomasPogge 1:06:00 voting lol
I can't speak for Yemen (North)
The is only one clear party with "popular" support in S - @stcsoutharabia
I appreciate @AsherOrkaby being very clear about seceding in 94 - occupation followed by force of war UNSR 924&931. Thats very important to southerners
@AsherOrkaby@RepRoKhanna @jami_taylor @ThomasPogge Been listening nearly an hour into your discussion.
#Solution just FREE #SouthYemen (aka #SouthArabia)
South will annex redsea coast. Houthis won't be able to bring rockets in to launch at shipping lanes or over borders... Border will be guarded by South manpower from with KSA
@hannaheporter @acj_usa Excellent panel to discuss "yemen" (aka North Yemen) because people from "yemen" were included on the panel.
I hope #SouthArabia (aka #SouthYemen) was not discussed. That would like backbiting
Nothing about us, without us
@NumanAbdalWahid If you still have family members in living in the South, share this crap with them in which they are just minions, tell them you want thought of it, and show them how I scolded you.
You even have the advantage because of family ties.
Lets see who they agree with.
Ripened? South & its cause was ripe way before 2015!
Not inclusive? 99% of South back the STC. Fringe groups are the "go to" for pundits to trivialise the South
#TheSouthWillRiseAgain#UAE did the right thing to stand by the South otherwise Houthis would have killed us all!
@NAlShaikh@sarahleah1 This is not how it worked. The Hirak had legitimate grievances and concerns that were ripened by the UAE to create the STC umbrella. And the STC far from inclusively represents the southern cause. Socotrans btw never subscribed to their cause and have protested STC presence.
Narrative being pushed here that STC is somehow being pushed by UAE. Yes, UAE supports STC, but the drive for the STC is the people of the South, without that there would be no STC.
Please stop peddling trash!
UAE sent the head of Yemen's STC back to Aden & received the Saudi FM
Thus far, Riyadh & Muscat, the respective int'l HQs for the Hadi gov & the Houthis, have been involved in negotiations over Yemen's future
The STC & UAE want in, according to Yemenat dot net
The southern movement transformed into @stcsoutharabia
Without "any" counter bodies with popular support, you can easily determine STC represtation by popular support. #Deduction
Elections can be manipulated, popular support can't.
#TheSouthWillRiseAgain
Losing the GoY's last northern stronghold would weaken it not only against the #Houthis but also in its confrontation with the #STC, who may consider #Marib’s fall and full Houthi control over northern #Yemen to be the political opening it needs to demand South Yemen’s secession.
Please can you refrain from discussing the South. You are a pro occupation organization. If you wish to discuss the end to the occupation of the South, join a panel hosted by a neutral body and have representation for the other side
DAY 7: Delve into local and tribal politics in #AlMahra and #Socotra with Non-Resident Scholar at @CarnegieMEC@AhmedNagiYE. The session is facilitated by Sana’a Center Researcher @Macoombs, who lived in #Yemen between 2012 and 2015.

DAY 7: The day will kick off with a closer look at south #Yemen, specifically into Shabwa, Aden and Hadramawt, with Yemeni government official @ammar82 and Director of the Sana’a Center Aden office @hu_rdman, facilitated by Researcher & Visual Data Specialist @galrashidy.
@Brit_YemSociety@AlsoswaAmat@AlistairBurtUK @jnpowell1 @AbdulGhani1959 To be fair, its not @Brit_YemSociety's place to be speaking about the South. The south is occupied by Yemen & this org is in support of Yemen.
If you want to discuss South, it should be with orgs such as @STC_UK_Office with a neutral host.
One sided points were made about south
