President : The conspiracies that targeted principles and goals of September 26 Revolution were fuel and tributary to September 21 Revolution

Yemen’s President Mahdi al-Mashat, condemned what he described as the betrayal of those aligned with foreign powers, accusing them of conspiring with the US and the Zionist entity to restore dependency in Yemen.

Speaking on the 63rd anniversary of the September 26 Revolution, al-Mashat affirmed that Yemen’s true republic lives in the trenches of resistance, alongside the Palestinian struggle.

In his televised address, al-Mashat said that the so-called traitors who abandoned the legacy of the September Revolution “dream of returning on American and Israeli tanks to drag the nation back into subservience,” but vowed such ambitions would fail. He stressed that the Yemeni republic is embodied in the sacrifices of fighters standing on the frontlines in defense of Palestine and Gaza, rather than in those who “sold their homeland and aligned with the Zionist enemy.”

The President accused opponents of having suffocated the spirit of the September Revolution by opening the doors to foreign domination, turning national sovereignty into a hollow name. He said their betrayal reduced the revolution’s goals to mere political commodities, leaving Yemen mired in poverty and dependence while other nations advanced.

Addressing the Yemeni people, al-Mashat declared that they are today engaged in defending the republic against renewed schemes of foreign guardianship and domination. He emphasized that, under the guidance of Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, Yemen stands on the threshold of a new victory leading to a future of dignity, independence, and sovereignty.

The September 26, 1962 Revolution marked Yemen’s break from centuries of autocratic imamate rule and was hailed as the beginning of republican governance. Yet, in the decades that followed, Yemen was subjected to cycles of instability, corruption, and foreign interference that undermined its sovereignty and left the nation among the poorest in the region.

September 21, 2014 Revolution revived the unfulfilled promises of 1962, restoring independence from US and Saudi tutelage and positioning Yemen at the heart of the regional struggle against the Israeli enemy. Today, Sana’a presents its resistance to the Zionist entity and support for the Palestinian cause as a natural extension of the revolutionary legacy, portraying the fight against aggression as both a defense of national sovereignty and a continuation of the republic’s unfinished mission.
