A statement issued by the rallies and gatherings affirmed that Imam Zaid's movement and uprising were centered around the Book of God in word and deed-a principle that the nation must take into consideration to be guided by the Quran and to have a stance against those who offend the Quran and the Noble Messenger. It called for drawing from Imam Zaid's revolution the important lessons needed by the nation today in its jihad against America, Israel, and their allies.

The statement highlighted the importance of learning from Imam Zaid insight, the greatness of jihad for the sake of God, martyrdom, and recognizing the baseness of falsehood and its people, who mutilated Imam Zaid's body, crucified and burned it, and scattered its ashes-yet the traces of his killers faded, while the memory of Imam Zaid and his jihad remains for all generations.

The statement noted that the connection of the Yemeni people, as a Muslim nation, to their history and symbols is a faith-based connection, and their turnout expresses their bond with the symbols of the Quran-the beacons of guidance like Imam Zaid, whose revolution was an extension of the revolution of his grandfather Imam Hussein and of authentic Muhammadan Islam.

It pointed out that the Quranic march comes as an extension of the authentic Muhammadan path and Imam Zaid's line in awakening and nurturing the nation, and in confronting the arrogant. It explained that the Yemeni people today are called to move against all who target them with harm, and that their stance must be one of insight, readiness to sacrifice, and awareness of the necessity to act to remove injustice from the people and the nation.

The statement called on the sons of the nation to take a stance against the enemies' targeting of sanctities, affirming the principled stance towards the Palestinian cause and people, and working to save them, as well as the steadfast stance towards brothers in the Axis of Jihad and Resistance, standing with the oppressed in Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and all Islamic lands.

It declared blessings for the courageous step taken by the Islamic Republic in breaking the siege on Sana'a International Airport, affirming support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' statement and that Yemen will not stand idly by in the face of the enemy's occupation, siege, and conspiracies against the people.

The statement also affirmed the consolidation of the equation of the unity of arenas and full cooperation and coordination with the Axis of Jihad-Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen-and readiness to confront any escalation. It renewed the affirmation of continuing general mobilization and comprehensive readiness in all fields, the opening of training and qualification centers for military mobilization courses, and various mobilization activities including demonstrations, tribal rallies, maneuvers, and others.
