Revolution anniversary message
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi congratulated Yemen’s people on the 12th anniversary of the September 21, 2014 revolution, saying the revolution achieved “freedom, independence, and liberation from the dominance of American hegemony and its allies.” Sayyed explained that the revolution halted “the wrong course that was leading to the collapse of the nation across various fields,” and he described September 21 as one of the “Days of Allah.”
Sayyed said foreign guardianship, led by the U.S. and joined by Britain and Saudi Arabia, confiscated Yemen’s freedom and independence, and he warned that officially declared foreign guardianship represents “the guardianship of enemies who do not advise the Yemeni people.” Mahdi al-Mashat hailed the September 21 Revolution as a turning point that ended foreign tutelage over Yemen, and he pledged to escalate the campaign to break the Saudi blockade while reaffirming Sana’a’s solidarity with Iran, Palestine and the Axis of Resistance.
Blockade, escalation, and solidarity
Mahdi al-Mashat said the revolution exists so that “an informant working for a foreign state” cannot be imposed on Yemen under a so-called legitimacy manufactured by aggressor states “in a hotel in Riyadh.” Mahdi al-Mashat pledged that the release of all remaining prisoners remains a national, faith-based, humanitarian and revolutionary duty, and he thanked Almighty Allah for a new victory and the expulsion of Saudi-backed forces from all districts of the western coast.
Mahdi al-Mashat said the leadership moved from demands to action after million-strong rallies on the “Friday of Warning and Mobilization,” and he announced the equation of “blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation.” Mahdi al-Mashat warned that options would escalate and take “more painful forms,” while he said Yemen has no hostility toward any neighboring Arab or Islamic state and has not attacked any country.
Claims of achievements and power
Shabwa Governor Awad Al-Awlaki said September 21 is among the greatest revolutions forged by the Yemeni people in modern Yemen history, and he said it is the only Yemeni revolution that pulled the country out of guardianship and subservience to external powers forever. Awad Al-Awlaki told SABA that the revolution made Yemen “a tough number and an influential regional power,” and he said it delivered the Republic of Yemen’s first-ever capability to protect its security, defend its sovereignty and build an effective deterrence equation to counter any aggression.
Awad Al-Awlaki said the revolution’s missile capabilities, military production, and production of various means of military transport and tactical weapons advanced over the past twelve years despite the severity of the siege and its negative effects on living standards and citizens’ basic needs. Brigadier General Ali Mohammed Humaid, Director of the Yemeni Economic Corporation, said the September 21 Revolution marked a significant sovereign turning point by ending decades of subservience and foreign tutelage, and he said it dismantled the agenda of dependency and foreign hegemony to lay the foundation for a new era dedicated to building a strong, modern Yemeni state.
