Al hodeidah: A mass march was held in Al Hodeidah Governorate on Monday in response to what was described as Saudi aggression targeting Sana'a International Airport and preventing the arrival of a civilian aircraft carrying patients, stranded passengers, and travelers, while granting full and absolute authorization to the Revolution Leader to take deterrent measures.
According to Yemen News Agency, the crowds, led by Al Hodeidah Governor Abdullah Atifi, Dhamar Governor Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, First Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Bishri, along with provincial officials, scholars, and social figures, raised banners and slogans condemning what they described as a blatant criminal escalation. They affirmed that continued attempts by the Saudi authorities to impose a blockade on Sana'a Airport and exercise control over the Yemeni people would fail in the face of Yemenis' resilience and steadfastness.
The crowds of the western coast welcomed the return of the national delegation from Tehran aboard an Iranian aircraft that landed at Al Hodeidah International Airport, describing the event as a strategic development that challenged what they called the arrogance of the adversaries, broke the blockade imposed on Yemeni crossings, and demonstrated the failure of threats against the country in the face of national determination.
They announced full and unlimited support for the armed forces in all their formations and branches, affirming their readiness and high preparedness for the upcoming stages of what they described as a comprehensive confrontation, and for active participation in the field to implement leadership options aimed at securing the Yemeni people's rights, recovering looted sovereign resources, and restoring control over the entire national territory.
Participants described the attack as a dangerous act of recklessness and an extension of what they called an unjust blockade imposed on the country for more than 11 years, holding the Saudi government responsible for its consequences. They stated that the era of domination and guardianship had ended and that the Yemeni people were prepared for what they described as a decisive battle with the enemy.
The crowds renewed their support for all steps aimed at protecting national sovereignty, defending the country's independence and vital resources, and called on the armed forces to respond swiftly and directly to the attack, in line with what they described as the will and aspirations of the Yemeni people.
They also announced a state of general mobilization, full readiness to support the fronts with personnel and resources, to stand united behind the revolutionary and political leadership in implementing strategic options to fully lift the blockade and remove what they called foreign occupation from every part of the homeland.
A statement issued by the march strongly condemned the targeting of Sana'a International Airport and civilian facilities, describing the prevention of passengers and patients from reaching their destinations as a violation of international and humanitarian conventions. It said the action would only increase the Yemeni people's determination to continue what it called the struggle for liberation and independence until achieving full sovereignty.
The statement called on all Yemenis to strengthen internal unity, popular cohesion, and efforts to confront attacks, describing a united internal front as the foundation for overcoming what it called the plots and expectations of the aggression coalition and its allies, and as the key to achieving victory.
