Today, Thursday, Moroccan journalist Dr. Tawfiq Jazouli visited the National Authority for Southern Media in the capital, Aden, accompanied by Professor Latif Shattara, the head of the Research and Decision Support Center at the Southern Transitional Council. They were received by Professor Mokhtar Al-Yafi'i, the Deputy Chairman of the National Authority for Southern Media.

During the meeting between Dr. Tawfiq Jazouli and members of the Authority and a number of southern journalists, Professor Shattara affirmed that Jazouli, as much as he followed the unjust war on the south in 1994, still follows the issues of the south. He referred to Jazouli's quote, "The war continues," which applies today as we face continuous challenges related to the restoration of state institutions and the aspirations of our people to regain their independent southern federal state.

On his part, Professor Al-Yafi'i welcomed the prominent Arab journalist Tawfiq Jazouli in his visit to the capital, Aden, and to the south, after nearly thirty years since his last visit in 1994, when he covered the unjust war on the south. Jazouli witnessed the crimes committed against the southern people during that time while he was a correspondent for MBC channel, and he conveyed with honesty, professionalism, and objective credibility the facts of the systematic destruction, obliteration of identity, and brutal occupation of the land and people in the capital, Aden, and the southern provinces by the treacherous northern forces.

Professor Al-Yafi'i expressed appreciation on behalf of all southerners, from Al-Mahra to Bab al-Mandab, for the positions of this free and influential Arab journalist, which clearly and without equivocation support the right of the southern people to regain their state. At a time when foreign media ignored this just cause and showed no interest in it.

Al-Yafi'i provided a comprehensive explanation of the role and tasks of the National Authority for Southern Media, which include shaping and directing southern media, and formulating a national discourse that expresses the legitimate aspirations of the southern people. He highlighted the struggle, awareness, and enlightenment role that the Authority plays towards fellow journalists, image-makers, and content creators in the south.

For his part, journalist Jazouli expressed his deep gratitude for the warm reception, welcome, and feelings of affection and gratitude he has encountered since he set foot on the pure land of the south. He emphasized that his supportive positions towards the southern people's struggle stem from the justice of their cause and their inherent right to regain their state and achieve the aspirations of its people in a civil and federal state after a journey of suffering and relentless struggle since the 1994 war.

Jazouli also praised the achievements made in the south politically, security-wise, and militarily, and the media role that the Authority undertakes in leading and organizing southern work. He emphasized the importance of expanding the scope of southern media discourse to reach Arab and foreign media outlets in order to explain the justice of their cause and the aspirations of the southern people for a dignified and stable life in an independent southern state with sovereignty. He affirmed that this will be achieved, God willing, thanks to the efforts of its leadership and the struggle of its brave people, who have consecrated it with the blood of their righteous martyrs on the fronts of defense and honor.
