Sana'a: In a display of solidarity and defiance, millions of Yemenis gathered in Al-Sabeen Square in Sana'a and other provinces to support the "blockade for blockade" strategy and prepare for potential escalation. The rallies, organized under the banner "Blockade for blockade, escalation for escalation," were a response to the ongoing siege faced by Yemen.
According to Yemen News Agency, the massive crowds expressed unwavering support for Leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, emphasizing their readiness to follow his directives. The demonstrators highlighted the Yemeni people's resilience against the forces of America, Israel, and their allies, including Al Saud, who they claim have imposed a 12-year blockade and aggression on Yemen.
Participants in the rallies voiced their commitment to the fight for their rights, condemning the Saudi regime's actions and vowing that the atrocities committed against Yemeni civilians would not be forgotten. Chants echoed through the crowds, reinforcing the message of resistance and the call for liberation from siege and oppression.
The rallies also served as a platform to criticize the Saudi regime's attempts to link Yemen's demands with external agendas. Demonstrators reiterated their refusal to relinquish sovereignty and dignity, asserting their identity as an ancient and proud people.
Flags from various countries, including Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, and Iran, were prominent among the crowds, symbolizing unity with oppressed nations. The gatherings underscored the belief that Saudi aggression would ultimately fail, reiterating the equation of blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation until Yemen's rights are restored.
The statement issued during the rallies reinforced support for the armed forces and their operations against Saudi interests. It called for lifting the blockade and restoring Yemen's rights, pledging continued mobilization and readiness to face any further aggression.
The rallies condemned Saudi and American actions in the region, particularly highlighting the impact on Iraq and Palestine. They urged all peoples of the nation to unite against Zionist schemes, expressing solidarity with those affected by the aggression.
On the anniversary of Ismail Haniyeh's martyrdom, the statement reaffirmed commitment to the Palestinian cause and readiness to confront any escalation by enemies in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, Lebanon, or other fronts. The emphasis remained on solidarity and unity in the face of ongoing challenges.
