While the number of people from the southern provinces confirmed that the countries of coalition did fulfill any promise to the sons of the south of all promises made by them since their entry, but was a great trick , and that all what it does reveals the reality of the goals that they seek to achieve behind its control of a number of Yemeni provinces.
