Amran Tribes Mobilize in Response to Saudi Escalation

Amran:Tribes in the Maswar District of Amran Governorate declared a general mobilization and a high state of readiness on Monday in response to what they described as Saudi escalation. This declaration occurred during a large armed tribal gathering under the slogan "Mobilization and Preparedness to Confront Escalation with Escalation," which was attended by a broad official and popular assembly.

According to Yemen News Agency, participants at the gathering chanted slogans denouncing what they called Saudi enemy crimes against the Yemeni people, including the killing of women and children, and condemned the continued escalation and blockade. The tribes expressed their mobilization as a means to support the battlefronts with fighters, funds, and resources, in tribute to those killed and in pursuit of what they described as victory and the liberation of Yemeni territory.

The tribes renewed their commitment to supporting the armed forces on all fronts under the leadership of the Revolution Leader, Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi. They declared full authorization for him and the armed forces to take further escalation measures and to launch what they described as more extensive and painful military operations. Speakers at the event affirmed their readiness to confront Saudi-led alliances and mobilizations, calling for continued efforts toward independence, national sovereignty, ending the war, and lifting the blockade.

A statement issued by the gathering declared general mobilization alongside other Yemeni tribes, pledging to provide the battlefronts with fighters, money, and weapons. It condemned attacks on civilian houses, markets, farms, and other vital facilities, as well as the blockade, starvation, and plundering of Yemen's resources. The statement accused Saudi actions of undermining Yemen's positions on regional issues, including the Palestinian cause, and of trying to return the country to foreign domination.

The tribes also called on those misled into supporting the opposing side to return to the national ranks and benefit from the presidential amnesty. They warned sleeper cells and espionage networks against acts threatening internal security and stability. The tribes disavowed anyone they labeled as traitors and agents and rejected Saudi accusations that Yemenis were targeting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The statement argued that the real threat to Islamic holy sites came from the Saudi system and urged Arab and Muslim nations to prevent the exploitation of religious sanctities for political purposes.

On the sidelines of the gathering, the tribes organized a relief convoy consisting of livestock, sheep, camels, and food baskets to support fighters stationed on the battlefronts.
