Rejection components
A number of southern leaders involved in rejecting the Riyadh agreement have spoken to Al Jazeera Net rejected the agreement "because it does not represent the national aspirations of the restoration of the Yemeni state and the sovereignty of its institutions."

Among those rejecting the Riyadh agreement are the Southern Yemen National Salvation Council, the Shabwa Residents Council, the Shabwa Tribal Alliance, the Aden Youth Coordination, the General Council for the Sons of Mahra and Socotra, and the peaceful sit-in committee in the Mahra Governorate.

The southern leader and head of the General Council for the sons of the provinces of Al-Mahra and Socotra Abdullah bin Issa Al-Afarar rejected the agreement, and said that its results do not concern the sons of the two provinces.

On the other hand, the head of the political office of the Southern Movement in Yemen, Fadi Baoum, said in a telephone conversation with Al Jazeera Net that they are considering the text of the official agreement, which he said they arrived on the day of signing, and will announce their final position on it later.

The official communication of the sit-in skilled Ahmed Balhaf in an interview with the island Net that the drafting of the Riyadh agreement came in accordance with the wishes of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and in line with their agenda and ambitions in Yemen.

With regard to the positions that will be taken by the southern components rejecting this agreement, Balhaf explained that those components and the southern people in general will have their choices on the ground, especially since the Yemenis in the south are now well aware of the ways in which they can achieve their ambitions and aspirations, he said.

Balhaf adds to Al Jazeera Net, `` There are many southern symbols today that can form a popular and mass movement rejects the plans of Abu Dhabi and Riyadh and such agreements and projects, and will continue to move in the province of Mahra and Socotra until the departure of Saudi and Emirati forces Yemeni territory.

The division of Yemen
According to Yemeni political analyst Yassin al-Tamimi, the Riyadh agreement is like a Trojan horse, which is intended to pass to the body of the Yemeni state exhausted and crisis-burdened.

Al-Tamimi adds in his interview with Al-Jazeera Net that "there are local elements installed a wave of separation, which is in fact acting for the coalition and its clear geopolitical agenda, to continue through the possibilities of the state sabotage the national project, and drag the country to disintegration, and weakness that allows Saudi Arabia and the UAE to achieve what it can not achieve by force Direct somehow happened in Socotra and skilled. "

"The Riyadh agreement does not involve any good intentions, because it was founded on bad faith from the outset, otherwise the legitimate authority would need to make more concessions in order to have the opportunity to exist in its temporary capital," he said.

Through this agreement, the coalition apparently wanted to secure effective mechanisms to reach its goals without losses and without having to justify its positions before the international community, thus stabilizing the transition as a weak and despised southern faction to lead the southern movement, according to Tamimi.

According to the same spokesman, the attempt of the Saudi-UAE alliance to install the transitional has caused widespread controversy among the other southern components and raised further discontent with the measures adopted by the coalition, which may contribute to the consolidation of the crisis in the south and push other leaders to a new escalation and the consequences may not be calculated This time.
