Legitimacy, hijacked by the Islah Party, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, has mobilized financially and in the media to disrupt the Southern Dialogue, which was called for by the President of the Transitional Council, Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, with the aim of uniting the components.

In this context, the Deputy Head of the Media Department of the Transitional Council, Mansour Saleh, revealed funds paid by the Brotherhood's legitimacy to thwart the southern dialogue in Cairo and Riyadh, indicating that these funds and efforts are enough to bring down the Houthi militia in the north.

Saleh said on his Facebook account: "If the effort made by the Yemeni legitimacy, and its kitchens these days, in Riyadh and Cairo, to thwart the southern-south dialogue adopted by the Transitional Council, directed to overthrow Al-Houthi, it would have been able to change the equation on the ground, and defeated Al-Houthi and Iran."

He stressed that the amount of time and money spent by the legitimacy to thwart the dialogue was enough to address the collapse of the currency, and return it to what it was five years ago.

Earlier, the head of the Preparatory Committee for the Dialogue, Ahmed Omar bin Farid, confirmed, a few days ago, the completion of discussions and consultations in the General Secretariat of the Transitional Council, and the start of the first phase of the Southern Dialogue, which will start in mid-August in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.

Ibn Farid said, on his Twitter account, that "the dialogue launched by the Transitional Council will be comprehensive and will not exclude anyone from the southern governorates."

Meanwhile, Hani Ali Salem al-Beidh, the son of the former southern president, said that the Transitional Council is "serious and sincere in making the southern dialogue successful with all southern parties and forces."

Al-Beidh indicated that during his meeting with the President of the National Assembly of the Transitional Council, Major General Ahmed bin Brik and the head of the Dialogue Committee, Murad Al-Halimi, he requested "seriousness in the dialogue project and their readiness for the task," noting that "there is a road map for this initiative that includes two phases."
