News - Yemen: Minister of Defense Major General Mohammed Nasser Al-Atifi and Chief of General Staff Major General Mohammed Al-Ghamari congratulated the Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, on the occasion of the 9th anniversary of the September 21 Revolution.

They stressed that the blessed September 21 Revolution constituted an important historical turning point in Yemen, and it is a new beginning for building a better future for the Yemeni People.

They reiterated their emphasis on moving towards the path of victory until sovereignty and decision are achieved and the Yemeni People are protected from the forces of aggression.

The Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff expressed their thanks for the support of Sayyed Abdulmalik to develop the military capabilities and combat skills of the members of the military institution.

In 2014, the people of Yemen led a popular uprising against the Saudi-backed unpopular regime of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.

As protests gripped the country, Ansarallah on September 21 took control of the capital Sana’a following a rapid advance south from their northern stronghold of Sa'ada.

The massively popular protests were against the incompetent and corrupt regime in Sana’a backed by Riyadh.

In a bid to crush the resistance and reinstall the Hadi regime, a Saudi-led coalition launched a ferocious bombing campaign on the neighboring Arab country barely six months later.

The war, which has been enjoying unstinting arms, logistical, and political support on the part of the United States, has killed tens of thousands of Yemenis and turned the entire country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Facing up to the invasion, Yemen’s Army and Popular Committees have vowed not to lay down their arms until the country’s complete liberation from the scourge of the invasion.
