Sana'a: The Ministry of Information and its affiliated institutions organized a stand today entitled "Readiness and Mobilization... to End the Aggression and Blockade," in response to the directives of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi.
According to Yemen News Agency, during the rally, the Undersecretary of the Ministry for External Relations and Media, Mohammed Mansour, announced the commitment of the Ministry's leadership, staff, and affiliates, across all its sectors and institutions, to the directives of the revolutionary and political leadership to pursue any option necessary to restore rights and resources and eliminate all forms of aggression and the blockade imposed on the Yemeni people.
He stated, "We pledge, as we promised the Leader when the brutal aggression against our homeland began on March 26, 2015, that we will be part of the struggle, the lists of martyrs and wounded, and that we will convey the suffering of our nation, the heroism of its people, and the battlefield victories. In the Battle of Al-Aqsa, we were the great and resounding voice of Yemen, reflected in the Leader's speeches and events from the 70th Street to Sa'dah, Al-Bayda, Al-Mahwit, and throughout all of Yemen under the administration of the Supreme Political Council."
He added, "The time has come to set aside all the pain inflicted by the aggression and the blockade. The Yemeni people deserve to live, invest all their resources, and bear the responsibility for their choices, foremost among which is Palestine and its just cause." Deputy Minister Mansour congratulated the Islamic Republic of Iran on its stand against the American-Zionist aggression, emphasizing that Iran has become an inspiration, just as Yemen has been an inspiration for 11 years, and as Gaza and Hezbollah have been in recent years.
He concluded his remarks by saying, "We tell the Leader that there are thousands of media professionals, skilled in words, images, and microphones, who will remain steadfast and unwavering in their position, as you have always known them to be."
At the gathering, which was attended by Hussein Muqbil, Advisor to the Ministry of Information; Mohammed Abdul Quddus Al-Shar'i, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Yemeni News Agency (SABA) and Deputy Editor-in-Chief; and a number of media sector officials and directors general from the Ministry and its affiliated bodies, a statement read by Ibrahim Al-Habishi, Deputy Director General of Planning at the Ministry of Information, endorsed the statement issued by Leader Abdul-Malik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi on the occasion of the anniversary of the Prophet's migration on the first of Muharram 1448.
The statement affirmed the steadfastness of the position against the enemies of Islam and humanity, namely the Jews, Christians, and their allies among the followers of the Zionist movement in the infidel West, foremost among them America and Israel. It emphasized the responsibility incumbent upon all Muslims to confront their tyranny, counter their evil, and cooperate in this endeavor.
The statement also affirmed Islamic brotherhood within the axis of jihad and resistance and the principle of unified fronts, extending congratulations and blessings to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership and people, for the victory achieved against the arrogant tyrants of our time, America and Israel.
It reiterated the continued readiness to confront any escalation or developments in the current situation by the American and Israeli enemy targeting the region or seeking to isolate Gaza once again, or any arena within the axis of jihad, the countries of the region, or the peoples of the Islamic nation. It called upon everyone to join the axis of jihad and resistance and liberate themselves from subjugation and subservience to the enemies of Islam. The statement issued at the rally declared a level of official and popular readiness, relying on Allah Almighty and placing trust in Him, to strive to end the aggression, occupation, and blockade, so that the Yemeni people may enjoy independence and freedom, benefit from their national resources, and live with dignity and pride.
The statement also announced a general mobilization in all fields, opening training and qualification centers for military mobilization courses and various mobilization activities, including demonstrations, tribal gatherings, and maneuvers, affirming the mandate given to the leader, Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and the readiness to implement all options.
The statement called upon the free people of Yemen, in the north and south of the country, to unite and work diligently to confront the occupier until every inch of the homeland is liberated, its resources are recovered, and its freedom and independence are achieved.
