Weak national discourse!

Underestimating the importance of national discourse and its role in the success of the state project is tantamount to a lack of political awareness, superficiality of thought, and a betrayal of principles, because that contributes to creating defeat, delays victory, and reduces the chances of getting out of the circle of crisis.

The true national discourse is not governed by religious ideologies, partisanship, personal loyalties, or dependence on the projects of small ambitious entities. Rather, it is a comprehensive horizon and a broad ambition that accommodates all dreams and gathers under its roof all components, forces, classes, and formations, and guarantees freedom and justice for all within the limits of available capabilities and necessary agreements, and works to protect the entire homeland and follow a policy of preserving the state’s institutions and the pillars of its political, economic, and cultural survival.

If we compare these concepts with their actual presence in the Yemeni scene, we would find a miserable state of weakness and a great distance from existence to the point that we feel the seriousness of our political situation and the absence of national discourse in it.

If we project such a conception onto the internationally recognized Yemeni legitimacy and the Presidential Leadership Council, which includes seven national leaders representing the various forces present on the liberated Yemeni scene, they should stand side by side in one republican trench and seek to bridge the gap of difference and disparity and the nature of each one of them, and start from a basic pivot that guarantees this council the achievement of tangible results in the Yemeni scene politically, economically and media-wise, and the creation of a unified national discourse that confirms the depth of the connection and participation in establishing the foundations of the comprehensive political project that will achieve national reconciliation on the one hand and victory over the enemy on the other hand, and exit from the crucible of shadow and narrow individual ambitions that slip away from the path of forming this comprehensive legitimate entity.

When we examine the Yemeni political and economic scene and the collapse of reality and its slide into the abyss, it becomes clear to us that the national discourse is fragmented in a conflicting political reality, and opens the door to revealing the extent of the imbalances and gaps that eat away at the body of Yemeni legitimacy and prevent it from achieving any accomplishment or addressing any issue.

Such a failure cannot be overlooked or ignored under the pretext of dividing the national ranks and untimely criticism, but the risks force us to realize the weaknesses that have brought us to this flabby stage, the accumulation of failures, the accumulation of suffering among the community, and the reaching of a stage of complete failure in managing the state and providing services to the public.

Reshaping the national discourse of the Yemeni legitimacy in accordance with the challenges and risks will correct the course of the political process as a whole, and work to overcome the state of division and dispersion and begin a new serious phase that unifies efforts, brings people together, and draws a single path for political action and political leadership, and works with national responsibility to change the reality for the better, improve services, activate the development movement, and prepare to fight a single destiny against the Houthi enemy, peacefully or by war.

The strong national discourse confirms the extent of the determination to continue the path of struggle and fighting in order to achieve the supreme goal and essential purpose of completing the project of restoring the state, far from any motives that sweep us outside the circle of national truth that concerns every free Yemeni who aspires to life and peace.
