Sana'a:The residents of Hamdan District in Sana'a Province held an armed protest to denounce the ongoing Saudi attacks on civilians and residential areas. The protest was sparked by recent assaults in Al-Shariya village in Bani Hushaysh District, Sana'a Province, and Al-Hadara Market in Al-Wazi'iyah District, Taiz Province.
According to Yemen News Agency, the protest saw participation from key figures, including District Director Fahd Atiyah, Mobilization Official Mohammed Al-Shuwai, his deputy Mahdi Al-Najjar, and various tribal sheikhs, as well as social and security figures. The participants condemned the persistent Saudi bombardment targeting civilian houses, humanitarian facilities, and vital infrastructure.
The protestors expressed their discontent with the Arab and Islamic world's perceived inaction regarding what they termed as crimes against the Yemeni people over the last 12 years. A statement released during the protest strongly criticized the Saudi attacks and the silence of the Arab and Islamic nations concerning the suffering endured by the Yemeni population.
The statement urged the public to verify information carefully and remain vigilant against what they described as Saudi misinformation and efforts to malign Yemen's image. It also called for continued mobilization efforts, including training and providing financial and personnel support, to meet the demands for victory, freedom, dignity, and independence.
Additionally, the statement encouraged the Yemeni armed forces to persist with their military operations under the principle of "blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation," aiming to target Saudi military positions until the cessation of attacks and the lifting of the blockade.
