He added that President Al-Mashat's presence today in the commemoration of the funeral hall is an affirmation that the Yemeni people will not forget the crimes they were subjected to and will not give up their rights. "The President Mahdi Al-Mashat participated in the event due to the “importance” of commemorating such a horrific crime," the prime minister Abdel Aziz bin Habtoor said. 

The Prime Minister also said that "this is a disaster that we will  remind the world every year what Yemen went through. Its victims were more than a thousand." 

“It was not expected that our enemies would be at this level of malice and criminality to target a gathering in a funeral hall and to hit the hall while it is full of guests,” Habtoor added.
