Sana'a: Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Badruddin Al-Houthi delivered a comprehensive and impassioned speech addressing the latest developments affecting Yemen and the broader Islamic Ummah. He began by offering condolences to the Muslim people of Iraq and condemning the American-Saudi aggression. He reaffirmed solidarity with Iraq and expressed a commitment to support them in their grievances.
According to Yemen News Agency, Al-Houthi's speech extensively quoted the Holy Quran, emphasizing the dual paths available to the Ummah: steadfastness and apostasy. He highlighted the dangers of aligning with enemies of Islam, specifically targeting regimes that form alliances with Zionist and Western powers. Al-Houthi criticized these regimes for their betrayal of Islamic principles and for supporting the Zionist project, which he described as a threat to humanity, particularly the Islamic Ummah.
Al-Houthi further condemned the Saudi regime for its role in the aggression against Yemen, accusing it of imposing a blockade that has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the country. He criticized Saudi Arabia's actions as serving American and Israeli interests, and he accused it of using its resources to support Zionism. Al-Houthi called for the establishment of a 'blockade-for-blockade' equation, asserting Yemen's right to retaliate against the ongoing aggression.
He also criticized the Saudi regime's cultural and moral policies, accusing it of promoting vice and distorting Islamic principles. Al-Houthi lambasted the Saudi regime's alignment with Zionism, citing its role in obstructing support for the Palestinian cause. He highlighted the regime's efforts to normalize relations with Israel and its complicity in the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Al-Houthi concluded by urging the Yemeni people to mobilize in solidarity with Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran, all of whom have faced aggression. He called for a massive turnout to demonstrate Yemen's steadfastness and readiness to confront the escalation of hostilities. Al-Houthi expressed hope that the Yemeni people's faith, dignity, and resilience would be reflected in their continued struggle against oppression.
