Sana'a: The Government of Change and Construction marked the 62nd anniversary of the October 14 Revolution in Sana'a with a speech and cultural event. Acting Prime Minister Mohammed Miftah extended his congratulations to the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, Mahdi al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, and the Yemeni people.
According to Yemen News Agency, Miftah highlighted the significance of the revolutionary milestone that ended nearly 130 years of Ottoman and British colonial rule, which left Yemen in a state of chaos. He criticized the British for sowing discord among Yemenis and facilitating Saudi influence under Wahhabism. Miftah lamented the legacy of instability and violence left by colonial agents.
On the 62nd anniversary, Miftah positioned Yemen at the forefront against American, Western, and Zionist hegemony. He expressed regret that some descendants of the revolution have strayed from their fathers' values. He declared, "On the anniversary of October 14, we tell the filthy, malicious colonizer that you will not return to Yemen."
Miftah condemned Israel's actions against Palestinians and warned of the growing revolutionary spirit among Arab youth. He urged those aligned with Zionist-American interests in Yemen to return to righteousness. He called for dialogue and unity, free from foreign interference, to confront common adversaries.
Deputy Speaker of the Shura Council, Dhaifallah Rassam, saluted Yemeni revolutionaries and stressed the need for readiness in the battle of "the promised conquest and holy jihad." He called for national reconciliation and unity against American, Saudi, and Emirati aggressors.
Mayor of Sana'a, Dr. Hamoud Obaid, noted the October 14 Revolution's transformative impact, expelling the British and establishing Yemen as a graveyard for invaders. He emphasized the ongoing struggle against new occupiers led by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi.
Hadhramaut Governor Luqman Baras spoke of the revolution's enduring spirit amid regional changes and external conspiracies. He criticized neo-colonial tactics and urged resistance against the Saudi-Emirati occupiers.
