Hamdan: The General Women's Cultural Authority in Hamdan District, Sana'a Governorate, organized awareness events and vigils to commemorate the 106th anniversary of the Tanouma massacre, perpetrated by the Saudi regime against Yemeni pilgrims, and to reaffirm solidarity with the Palestinian, Lebanese, and Iranian peoples.
According to Yemen News Agency, participants in the events, held in the villages of Dhala', Shamlan, and Beit Na'am, emphasized the importance of commemorating the Tanouma massacre to remember the horrific crime that claimed the lives of more than three thousand Yemeni pilgrims, who were targeted and killed in cold blood. They noted that the crime will remain etched in the conscience of the Yemeni people as a historical milestone demonstrating the brutality of the Al Saud regime.
The participants explained that the Saudi regime's crimes against Yemenis in recent years are an extension of the Tanouma massacre and reflect a continuous pattern of aggression. They emphasized the need to solidify societal awareness of the reality of the aggression, its dangers, and its various methods, and to strengthen the home front, remain steadfast in their position, disavow tyrants, honor the blood of the martyrs and their great sacrifices, and confront challenges with sincere faith.
The participants in the demonstrations raised banners denouncing the Saudi regime's ongoing crimes against the Yemeni people and condemning the aggression and siege imposed on the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A statement issued by the demonstrators reaffirmed the unwavering stance of Yemeni women in supporting just causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause, and their continued support for all forms of assistance. It praised the steadfastness of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and their valiant resistance, as well as Iran's firm position in the face of the American-Israeli aggression and siege.
The statement called for strengthening national unity, continuing resilience in the face of challenges, and confronting all attempts to undermine the nation's sovereignty and stability.
