Southern Movement warns Tariq Afash to not celebrate on Yemen Unity day

SANAA, May 22 (YPA) – The southern movement renewed its warning to Tariq Afash of not celebrating the Reunification Day “Unity Day” in Aden or any southern province, according to a statement obtained by Yemen Press Agency.

The movement considered that any celebration by Tariq Afash would be a blatant provocation to the people in the south and to what it termed the victims of the 1994 summer war.

“The lifting of pictures of slain former President Ali Abdallah Saleh in the southern provinces is a great betrayal of the blood of the martyrs and a re-sentencing of those who named them as” “Aldhabshah”, the movement said in a warning statement.

The movement called on all the southern citizens especially the sons of the martyrs and the wounded to gather in a mass rally on Tuesday morning May 22nd which coincided with Yemen Unity Day demanding separation.
