Leader of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi stressed that the revolutionary group, along with national movements, will continue to resist the Saudi-led aggression against the Arab impoverished country.
During a televised speech on Sunday, Sayyed Houthi hailed the local response to Ansarullah’s call for a national meeting on the tenth of Ramadan.
“We appreciate the wide compliance with our call for a meeting for Yemen’s wise figures on the tenth of Ramadan,” Sayyed Houthis said, stressing the importance of safeguarding the national unity against all external threats and challenges.
He warned in this context, that Riyadh’s aggression against Yemen is aimed at dividing the nation, assuring that it is the national movements’ responsibility, including Ansarullah, to confront the Saudi aggression.
“Let’s deal with our internal problems with responsibility. Let’s discuss them, know their causes, their backgrounds and find solutions,” Sayed Houthis addressed national powers in Yemen.
The most important factor in confronting the aggression is the solidity of the Yemeni home front, Ansarullah’s leader stressed.
Meanwhile, Sayyed Houthi stressed Ansarullah’s readiness to withstand the aggression against Yemen by saying: “We are the sons of these poor but courageous people who are adopted to crises, war and fight.”
He also slammed the international community’s silence towards Saudi Arabia’s war against Yemen which has now entered its third year.
Saudi Arabia launched its deadly campaign against Yemen in March 2015 to restore power to Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Yemen’s fugitive president who has resigned and is a staunch ally of Riyadh.
The campaign, which lacks any international mandate and has faced increasing criticism, has claimed the lives of more than 12,000 people, most of them civilians.
The relentless airstrikes have also put more than half of all health facilities in Yemen in a state of complete or partial shutdown. Furthermore, the war-torn nation has been grappling with a deadly cholera outbreak since last October, which has killed some 600 people since April.
