Al-hodeidah: The Works Sector in Al-Hodeidah governorate held a commemorative oratory event for the annual Martyrs' Day 1447 AH under the slogan: 'Do not consider those who were killed in the way of God as dead; rather they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.'
According to Yemen News Agency, Deputy Governor for Service Affairs Muhammad ?ulaysi praised the sacrifices of the martyrs and the epic deeds they wrote during battles confronting the enemy coalition and mercenaries. He stated that the heroism and sacrifice of the martyrs have brought dignity and honor to Yemen, enabling it to support occupied Palestine and defend the Palestinian cause.
?ulaysi emphasized that holding the annual martyrs' commemoration aligns with Yemen's historic stance and its leadership's support for the Palestinian people. He pointed out the readiness of Yemenis for jihad and defense of the right, adhering to the principles of the martyred leader Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi, who believed that the nation will not triumph over its enemies without fulfilling the duty of jihad.
The event was attended by the governorate's Works Sector head Engineer Muhammad Muthanna and his deputy Muhammad al-Shamiri. Al-Shamiri spoke on the importance of reviving the duty of jihad to support justice, confront aggression, and defend the oppressed in Gaza, aiming to liberate holy sites. He stressed the importance of nurturing a culture of jihad and following the martyrs' path, asserting that their blood has granted the Yemeni people dignity and freedom.
Muthanna emphasized activating the jihad project and countering ideological invasions that threaten the nation's identity and beliefs. He spoke about the need to maintain a faithful identity and prevent youth from being diverted from religion and jihad.
The head of the Governorate's Scholars' Unit, Sheikh Ali Somal, attributed the nation's distancing from jihad and the Qur'an to the weaknesses in Arab regimes that implement U.S.-dictated policies. He warned against continued deviation from jihad, which he said places peoples' necks at the mercy of their enemies.
