Saudi Arabia, Islah party and Salafist group are plotting a conspiracy pushing Yemeni southerners to fight fruitless, unwinnable battles, a Houthi official claimed on Tuesday.
The Yemeni government, Arab coalition and Muslim Brethren-affiliated Islah "exploit Houthi forces' advance in Marib and al-Jawf to raise fears among people of southern governorates, open recruitment camps, mobilize thousands and send them to unwinnable battles," the Houthi-run al-Masyra TV quoted the group-appointed governor for Lahj as saying.
"We call on southerners to foil a Saudi-Islah-Salafist conspiracy aimed to recruit thousands of you at training camps in Abyan, Shabwa and Aden and send them to death at open frontlines in the north and Saudi southern borders to fight fruitless battles," Ahmed Joraib added.
