Yemen: Millions commemorate martyrdom of Imam Zaid, declare readiness to end aggression, blockade

In massive crowds, the Yemeni people commemorated the martyrdom of the ally of the Quran, the Imam of the revolutionaries, Zaid ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn (peace be upon him). They declared their full support for the statement issued by the armed forces, which expressed the will of the Yemeni people to end the aggression, break the blockade, and liberate the remaining occupied provinces in the south and east of the country.

On this anniversary, a moment of faith and revolution, the people of Yemen, the land of faith and wisdom, raised the banner of insight and jihad, the same banner raised by Imam Zaid (peace be upon him) and which he made the guiding principle of his blessed revolution against the tyrants of that era. Today, the Yemenis raise this banner against the forces of aggression and arrogance, represented by America, Israel, and their lackeys from the House of Saud and the House of Nahyan, and other servants of global Zionism.

The crowds participating in the marches that took place in Al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sana’a, and in various squares and public spaces across the liberated provinces, affirmed that this widespread movement comes in response to the call of truth and out of a sense of responsibility, embodying the directives of Islam to reform the nation’s deteriorating situation, a consequence of the Zionist agents’ control over many of its oppressed peoples.

This anniversary was considered an opportunity to draw lessons for the nation to benefit from in its present and future, and to inspire it with strength of will, sacrifice, determination, and steadfastness in principle to confront aggression, following the example of Imam Zaid, who sacrificed himself for the sake of Allah and to guide the nation back to the true path of faith and rectify the deviations that had befallen it in that era.

The assembled crowds indicated that this anniversary serves as an impetus for the Yemeni people to end the unjust aggression and oppressive blockade imposed by the tyrants of our time—America, Israel, and their Saudi proxies. They declared their response to the call of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, to continue the general mobilization, raise their readiness, and prepare to sacrifice themselves and their wealth in defense of truth and dignity, to break the blockade, and to end the aggression and occupation.

They warned the Saudi regime against continuing its procrastination and stalling tactics in ending the aggression and blockade, or taking any hostile action against the Yemeni people and their sovereignty. They affirmed that the response of the Yemeni people and their armed forces would be devastating and more powerful than ever before should the Saudi regime commit any act of aggression against Yemen.

The participants in the marches declared their full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran and their rejection of the violations committed by the American enemy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the unity of the Yemeni arena with the axis of jihad, resistance, and Jerusalem.

They renewed their absolute allegiance and submission to the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and their complete readiness to implement the decisions and choices he makes to repel the aggression, break the siege on Yemen, and achieve its freedom and independence. They emphasized that the Yemeni people are following the path of Imam Zaid in confronting the forces of aggression, occupation, and arrogance, drawing inspiration from his revolution’s values of sacrifice, dignity, freedom, adherence to truth, and steadfastness, regardless of the sacrifices.

The crowds chanted slogans such as: “Zaid, ally of the Quran… the greatest symbol of dignity,” “On the path of the ally of the Quran… the people of faith move,” “A pledge to you, martyred Zaid… we will never deviate from your path,” “With the blood of Khamenei and the leaders… Iran’s resolve has increased,” “Iran is determination and will… army, guards, people, leaders,” and “With the steadfastness of the Iranian people… the satanic project has failed.”

They also chanted slogans such as: “Thank you from the land of faith, Yemen, to the people and leaders of Iran,” “The Axis is one army; we defend and support each other,” “Our axis is strength and steadfastness, and Al-Aqsa is the heart of the arenas,” “A million greetings and salutations to the Yemeni forces,” and “We, the people, stand with the army, and with Allah we are accustomed to living.”

The millions-strong crowds also chanted: “Airport for airport, you treacherous Saudi,” “O Ibn Saud, be wise and act rationally, for the people have placed their trust in Allah,” “O Ibn Saud, beware, beware of the wrath of the Yemeni supporters,” “O Gaza, we are still with you; we will remain so, and if they return, we will return,” “Jihad, Jihad, the entire nation is ready,” and “We entrust you, we entrust you, our leader, we entrust you.”

She affirmed that, Allah willing, the situation after this massive demonstration will be unlike anything before it. She declared a state of high alert and readiness to implement the directives of the revolution’s leader and to mobilize extensively towards the battlefronts in preparation for reclaiming legitimate rights, liberating the homeland, and restoring its resources.

She also declared that the language of force is the only way to restore the rights of the Yemeni people, and that all the sons and tribes of Yemen are ready to support the armed forces in the battle to liberate themselves from injustice and tyranny and to defend the homeland, its sovereignty, and its independence. She emphasized that the sacrifices and steadfastness of the Yemeni people over the past years will not be subject to compromise or negligence.

Millions of Yemenis conveyed their message to the Saudi enemy and its masters: that the bet on starving the Yemenis to force concessions has proven futile in the face of the awareness and unity of the people of Yemen, the land of faith and wisdom. They warned the Saudi regime against continuing to plunder national resources and oil and gas revenues, because resorting to targeting livelihoods reflects the failure of the aggression and its tools on the ground.

They emphasized that the reliance on economic pressure and targeting the livelihoods of citizens has been shattered by the steadfastness of the Yemeni will. They reaffirmed their unwavering stance against the Zionist entity and the American administration, and their commitment to strengthening the principle of unity and shared destiny within the axis of resistance.

The million-strong marches endorsed the strategic steps taken to break the siege imposed on Sana’a International Airport, praising the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran, both its leadership and people, in support of the Yemeni people and their legitimate rights to end the aggression and the blockade.

They called for continued vigilance and readiness to confront any escalation or hostile actions, affirming that the people of Yemen are committed to strengthening their unity and solidarity, thereby bolstering the resilience of the home front against the conspiracies targeting the nation.

A statement issued by the million-strong marches in the capital, Sana’a, on behalf of all Yemenis, affirmed the Yemeni people’s rejection of the continued Saudi-American blockade of the airports and seaports of the Republic of Yemen, and declared that any Saudi aggression or violation of the peace agreement would be met with a firm response. This reinforces the deterrence equation and confirms that the era of silence regarding the blockade has ended.

The statement declared full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran and rejected the American violations, which disregard all agreements and treaties. It praised the unity and cohesion of the Iranian people and the participation of millions over the course of a week in the massive funeral procession for the martyr of the nation, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, which demonstrated the strength and political and popular cohesion of the resistance axis.

The statement emphasized the consolidation of the unity of the arenas, as well as full cooperation and coordination with the axis of jihad and resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen. It also declared readiness to confront any new escalation, reflecting a unified stance and destiny in the face of projects of aggression and hegemony.

The statement announced the continuation of general mobilization across various sectors, the ongoing opening of training centers, and the activation of various mobilization activities, including demonstrations and tribal gatherings, to enhance popular and official preparedness to meet the demands of the coming phase.
