Sana'a: Mohammed Al-Farah, a member of the Political Office of Ansar Allah, has characterized the expulsion of the U.S. Marines from Sana'a on February 11, 2015, as a highly symbolic event that signifies the end of foreign guardianship over Yemen. In his statement, Al-Farah emphasized the profound significance of this event in the context of Yemen's modern history.
According to Yemen News Agency, Al-Farah remarked that the departure of the American forces marked the cessation of foreign dominance and control over Yemen's political decisions. He underscored that this milestone represents a victory for Yemeni sovereignty and the affirmation of independent national decision-making. Al-Farah urged media outlets, activists, politicians, and Yemeni elites to frame this event as a revolutionary achievement and a symbol of national sovereignty.
Al-Farah further proposed that the anniversary of this event should be celebrated annually by Yemenis, akin to the independence days observed by other Arab nations. He highlighted the significance of this commemoration in enhancing public awareness regarding the perils of foreign presence on Yemeni soil. Al-Farah expressed that the anniversary should inspire future generations to uphold national sovereignty and independence, rejecting external guardianship and dominance.
