Sanaa: The Ministry of Youth and Sports and its affiliated bodies organized a rally today in response to the Revolution Leader's call to strengthen readiness and preparedness to confront the forces of aggression, reclaim the rights of the Yemeni people, expel the occupiers, and end the blockade, under the slogan "Readiness and Mobilization... to End the Aggression and Blockade."
According to Yemen News Agency, Ministry of Youth and Sports personnel reaffirmed their high level of readiness to support the state's directives and implement them responsibly to confront current challenges and protect national gains. Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Nabeh Nasser, emphasized the pivotal role of youth in supporting the state, protecting national sovereignty, and translating the Revolution Leader's directives into reality with a responsible spirit and high resolve.
He pointed out that youth represent the cornerstone of the battle for liberation, production, and resistance against the economic war imposed on the country, stressing the necessity of concerted official and popular efforts to bolster local production as a fundamental step towards achieving self-sufficiency and breaking free from economic constraints and dependency.
The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports called upon all sectors of the ministry, as well as sports federations and clubs, to intensify cultural, awareness-raising, and sporting activities and programs that contribute to protecting youth from the dangers and schemes of soft warfare, and to solidifying their faith-based identity, unifying national principles, and values of resilience.
A statement issued at the rally, read by the Executive Director of the Youth and Children's Welfare Fund, Abdul Hamid Al-Maghribi, affirmed that the directives of the Leader of the Revolution are laying the foundation for a new phase in which the country moves from a defensive posture to proactively reorganizing its internal ranks.
He emphasized the importance of building a genuine partnership in which official and popular efforts are combined to confront the economic war and stimulate local production to overcome the effects of the blockade and aggression that has persisted for more than eleven years.
The statement indicated that the exceptional and complex circumstances the region is experiencing necessitate a heightened sense of religious and national responsibility, and a unified front behind shared principles, to thwart the schemes of the aggression coalition and its international backers (America and Israel) and their regional proxies, which aim to keep Yemen in a state of stagnation and economic and social dependency.
The statement highly commended the swift response and high level of combat readiness demonstrated by the General Mobilization Forces in all their formations and the Popular Support Brigades immediately following the call of the Leader of the Revolution. It considered this general mobilization and its integration with the armed forces as a protective shield for the home front, deterring any adventures the enemies might undertake.
The statement urged the Yemeni people, especially the youth, to maintain the revolutionary momentum and join the open training camps of "Al-Aqsa Flood" to raise their readiness levels and achieve full preparedness to support the armed forces and the General Mobilization Forces, and to foil any conspiracies or adventures that the aggression coalition and its backers (America and Israel) seek to perpetrate against the homeland and its home front.
In its statement, the Ministry of Youth and Sports reiterated Yemen's principled and historical stance in support of the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance, and its commitment to the unity of all fronts within the axis of jihad and resistance until the defeat of Zionist-American arrogance. The Ministry emphasized that the cohesion of the leadership, the army, and the people is the surest guarantee for reclaiming rights and achieving full independence.
