News - Yemen: Defense Minister Mohammed Nasser al-Atifi confirmed that the US-Saudi aggression wanted to assassinate the martyr Saleh Al-Sammad to confuse the political and military fronts, but it failed to do so.

He explained that the martyr President Al-Sammad took the first step to reformulating the doctrine of the armed forces based on the Holy Quran and building it on correct national foundations that serve the people of Yemen.

Al-Atifi stressed that the Martyr President Al-Sammad was not changed by the authority and was not attracted by its gains, rather, he chose the curriculum of science, work and sound management, so he made the first features of building the modern Yemeni state with high efficiency and capacity.

For its part, the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din Al-Houthi, confirmed that the personality of the martyr President Saleh al-Sammad in loyalty and patriotism and his ability to unite the home front prompted the aggression to assassinate him.

This came in a speech he delivered on the occasion of the anniversary of the martyr President Saleh Al-Sammad.

Sayyed Abdulmalik affirmed that the aggression sought to target the martyr al-Sammad due to his active role in confronting the aggression and supporting the just cause of our people, adding that the aggression noticed in the martyr al-Samad his superior ability to unify the internal ranks as a priority of confronting the aggression.

Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi said: "On the anniversary of the martyr President Saleh al-Sammad, we remember him, as he was a model of honesty, loyalty, patience and relentless pursuit of God's pleasure."

Regarding the assassination of the martyr President Saleh Al-Sammad, Sayyed Abdulmalik indicated that "In the stages of escalation by the aggression to control Hodeidah, the martyr Al-Sammad was present there to mobilize the people and activate all official and popular capabilities."

In his speech, Sayyed Abdulmalik accused the US of being behind the assassination of the martyr President Saleh Al-Sammad.

He said: “the US was the one who determined for the Saudi to target the martyr Al-Sammad as a primary target.”

The leader affirmed that all the campaigns carried out by the coalition forces in their aggression against Yemen, including the campaign that targeted Hodeidah, were carried out under US supervision.

In his speech, Commander Abd al-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi explained that the Yemeni people surprised the coalition, which had thought that the assassination of al-Sammad would break its will and weaken it, saying: “the result was completely the opposite.”

He added, “After the assassination of the martyr al-Sammad, Yemeni people showed an increase in their determination, patriotism and sacrifice”.
