Revolution leader calls on Yemeni People to attend mass rally Tomorrow on occasion of glorious November 30 Independence Day

The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, called on the Yemeni people to attend a massive and dignified public gathering tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, at Al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sana’a.

In a statement issued on the 58th anniversary of Independence Day, November 30, he said:

“I call on our dear people to ensure that their presence at Al-Sabeen Square tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, is great, dignified, and on a million-strong scale—confirming to the whole world their steadfastness, their high readiness for the coming round, and that they will not abandon their Ummah, nor the Palestinian people, nor the Lebanese people, nor any oppressed members of our nation. This is a people who trust in God, rely on Him, and believe in His true promise of the end of the temporary Zionist entity.”

Sayyid Abdulmalik extended his warmest congratulations to the Yemeni people on the anniversary of the evacuation of the last British soldier from Aden after an occupation that lasted nearly 128 years and covered wide areas of the country, during which the British committed grave crimes.

He explained that among the biggest factors that enabled the British occupation were the actions of traitors from within the country who facilitated the occupation at minimal cost and for an extended period, providing services that included recruiting thousands to fight alongside the occupier and standing with it against anyone who refused its control.

He noted that what is happening today—through Zionist aggression backed by the U.S. and Britain, with broad Western support—is an extension of the same colonial, criminal Western system that enslaved nations, looted wealth, occupied lands, and sought to erase identities. The crimes committed against the Palestinian people for two full years, the attacks on Lebanon, the repeated aggressions in Syria, and the crimes against the Yemeni people all expose the goals of this Western-Zionist order.

Below is the full text of the statement:

In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Brothers and sisters, peace and God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.

I extend to you my warmest congratulations on the occasion of Evacuation Day—“the anniversary of the departure of the last British soldier from Aden” after nearly 128 years of occupation across wide areas of our country, during which the British criminal committed the worst atrocities. One of the biggest enablers of his occupation and control was the negative role of traitors from within the country who facilitated his task at minimal cost and for a long period, offering major services, foremost among them recruiting thousands to fight for him and standing by him to impose his control and oppose anyone who refused to submit.

That era of British domination over broad parts of our country—and over many countries in the Islamic world and beyond—was one of the cruelest in modern human history in terms of crimes, tyranny, and oppression. The Western order, led by Britain, moved to occupy countries and enslave peoples with brutality, greed, and total disregard for human life—killing, starving, spreading disease, and committing genocide against tens of millions.

When nations rose up and revolutionary movements emerged, combined with intense rivalries and wars among Western colonial powers themselves, Britain grew too weak to maintain direct occupation. The Western system then engineered the post-colonial phase across Muslim countries to ensure continued control—through client regimes and sectarian and cultural forces that fragmented the Islamic world, prevented Islamic governance, obstructed unity, and blocked any real renaissance capable of building a powerful, independent, self-sufficient Islamic nation.

It also seized control of education, media, and culture to keep the Ummah submissive, dependent, and loyal to its enemies, while empowering Zionism to occupy Palestine as a precursor to establishing “Greater Israel,” expanding control across the region, and acting as the Western proxy—under U.S. leadership that inherited Britain’s role as the global enforcer of subjugation.

What we see today—from Zionist aggression partnered with the U.S. and Britain and supported by Western powers—is a continuation of that criminal colonial doctrine. The Western-Zionist system has exposed itself through its entities: the Zionist enemy, its American partner, its British partner, and its Western supporters, through horrific crimes committed against the Palestinian people over the past two years, the attacks on Lebanon, ongoing aggressions in Syria, and crimes against Yemen.

The Israeli enemy continues its crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, disregarding ceasefire agreements and guarantees, relying on U.S. backing to pursue full occupation of Gaza, the displacement of Palestinians from Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza, the domination of Lebanon, and expanded control in Syria up to the outskirts of Damascus—steps toward the project known as “Greater Israel.” This comes alongside American, British, and client-state efforts to eliminate any obstacle to reshaping the Middle East in a way that hands over the entire region to Zionist domination—economically, politically, and strategically.
This is the root of their hostility toward the free peoples of our Ummah who refuse submission. The enemies are preparing for another round of aggression targeting the free nations and living forces of the region, and it is our duty to prepare on all levels to confront their tyranny and plots.

Our dear people—along with all national institutions and the armed forces—have had the honor of taking a historic and principled stand in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and have stood firm on the global stage by confronting American, British, and Israeli aggression. The continued vigilance, mobilization, Friday rallies, major tribal gatherings, and military and security preparedness are essential components of this position and proof of wisdom, responsibility, and faith.

Our people, rooted in the dignity of faith and carrying the banner of Islam and Jihad—as did their righteous ancestors, the Ansar and pioneers—are steadfast and present in their duty. They do not abandon their struggle, retreat from their principles, or submit to the criminals of Zionism. They understand that submission means humiliation, enslavement, and loss in this life and the next. A faithful nation will never accept subjugation to tyrants.

I call on our dear people to attend tomorrow at Al-Sabeen Square, Sunday afternoon, God willing, with massive, dignified, million-strong participation—showing the world their steadfastness and readiness for the coming stage, their refusal to abandon their Ummah, and their trust in God and His promise of the end of the temporary Zionist entity. Indeed, the final outcome belongs to the righteous.

Peace and God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.
