Finally, the Yemenis won, yes, and for the first time, a real victory, not on a war against each other, but a patriotic moment that caught everyone's breath, at home and abroad. But what a wonderful paradox, that this shining victory was made by a small group of young people. On the contrary, politicians and the ambitions of illegal access to power have made the adults lose their senses, and have even led them to be ignitors of death and destruction, so is it time for them to wake up?
The second paradox that can be captured, in the midst of the ecstasy of winning, what victory? Certainly, the Yemeni team’s victory of the West Asian Junior Championships gives another lesson that cannot be missed. At a time when the war and its lords seek to subjugate the Yemenis and confiscate their will, we see how an indomitable Yemeni generation emerges from under the wreckage. How could they not, and these adults, would not have taken all the lessons of the past, so how could they be aware that the era of exploitation, tyranny, and confiscation of the will of the public had gone forever.
We will not be exaggerating, if we say that the lesson that the young cubs taught us on this immortal evening, the evening of December 13, 2021, is more eloquent than hundreds of long, sloppy speeches, and lessons of patriotism that politics and its wrong practices have tried to teach us, even as if we are looking for our wasted hope, in the new resurrection formed by surprise away from the adults' lethality against each other.
It is as if the moment of ecstasy with victory tells us: How thirsty and longing you were for your patriotism, for the return of the noble and righteous Yemeni human being, for the unity of our fragmented geography, and for the clarity that only such pride can give. Yemenis do not miss anything, as they miss the patriots who put the public interest ahead of their personal or factional interests, to see how a small group of our persevering youth approached or nearly reached this glory.
Since we lack the wise and wisdom in the destruction we are in, we do not seek more than to stand a little, in front of the need of the Yemeni, all of us, for times of calm and peace. Are these ten years fleeing from our lives not enough to continue confiscating our guaranteed rights, and gambling with our present and future. The victory of the Yemeni over his Yemeni brother, and the Yemeni killing of his Yemeni brother, does not involve any honor or claim of heroism, because every defeat affects us all, as is the matter related to our victory for our country and our patriotism, which is necessarily contagious, and affects all of our interests.
Today, the gun should bow its head, if not out of respect, then shame, since unity, feelings of solidarity and love, come from our being one nation, not scattering, as the conspirators and their agents want us. Departing from the norm and breaking it and the ability to create joy, as opposed to spreading fear and a culture of killing.
The wheel has turned, and the time has come for change to take place, while this desperate fighting over the division of the country and its interests will become an illusion that heralded the demise of all social beliefs and philosophies. The new, by necessity or by the intrigue of history, comes first, as the old must be defeated, and any regime that works against the interests and will of its peoples will also finds its way to the insatiable dustbin of history.
