The Head of the National Solidarity Council (NSC) and Member of Parliament, Hussain al-Ahmer, described his relations with Saudi Arabia as historical while he said, "his relation with Libya is commercial one and it is currently suspended but it will be resumed at any time".

Al-Ahmer said in interview with Mareb Press the current southern crisis is political crisis.
"Some parts in Yemen want to exercise political pressures by moving the street in order to achieve their goals. I wonder if there is any Yemeni person boasting of secession" he added.

Al-Ahmer accused the committees which were formed to resolve the issues of the southerners of procrastination.

He added there is no problem in arresting and trying those people who carried out sabotage and riot acts. He demanded to try them on the charge of high treason.

About the aim of opening new branch for the NSC in Aden city, al-Ahmer said "The aim is to stand with people irrespective of their partisan affiliation and to spread awareness among them and to solve their problems."
