News - Yemen: Millions of people poured into the streets on Sunday in several Yemeni cities and provinces to commemorate the eighth anniversary of the National Resilience Day, which takes place on the date of the launch of the US-Saudi aggression against the country.

The mass protests took place in many cities and provinces, including the capital Sana’a, Sa’adah, and Taiz, with demonstrators demanding an end to the US-Saudi aggression and brutal siege on Yemen.

They held placards and shouted slogans against US policies as they gathered in the main squares of the cities to denounce the Saudi war, vowing to continue their resistance against the aggressors.

The rallies came a day after the Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi called on Yemenis to stage mass protests to mark the eighth year of resistance.

In Sana’a, a large number of residents hit the streets and chanted slogans in support of the country’s resistance against the aggressors.

In Sa’adah, a large number of protesters took to the streets to mark the national day of resistance.

In other provinces, including Hodeidah, Taiz, Hajjah, Al-Jawf, Ibb, Dhamar, Raimah, Marib, Al-Dhalea, Amran and Al-Baidha, people gathered in the main squares to demonstrate their continued resistance against the aggressors.  

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, claiming the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure and capabilities of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
