Houthi Calls for Ending Blockade on Yemen Affirms Readiness to Confront Any Escalation Targeting Region

Leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine Al-Houthi, extended his warmest congratulations and blessings to the Yemeni people, its fighters stationed on the front lines, and the entire Muslim Ummah on the occasion of the new Hijri year 1448 AH.

In a statement issued on the occasion of the new Hijri year, the Hijra (Prophet’s migration) 1448 AH, he also extended his congratulations and blessings to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership and people, on their great victory against the arrogant powers of our time: America and ‘Israel’.

Sayyed Al-Houthi affirmed Yemen’s continued readiness to confront any escalation or developments in the current situation by the American and Israeli enemies, whether targeting the region, attempting to isolate Gaza once again, or any other arena within the axis of resistance, the countries of the region, or the peoples of our Islamic nation. He called upon everyone to join the axis of resistance and to break free from subjugation and subservience to the enemies of Islam, who desire no good for the entire Islamic nation, as God has revealed about them in the Holy Quran, and as has been confirmed by facts, events, and daily occurrences on the part of the enemies.

He called for official and popular cooperation in Yemen to confront the dangers and challenges resulting from the comprehensive hostile targeting by our enemies against our dear people.

“This includes their occupation of a large part of the country, their control over the national wealth of oil and gas, their violation of the country’s sovereignty and independence in every way, their blockade and comprehensive economic war against our people, their mobilization of extremists and mercenaries to kill and target the life of our Yemeni society, and all forms of hostile conspiracies orchestrated by the aggression coalition under American supervision and implemented by Saudi aggression against our dear people. This necessitates concerted efforts, relying on God Almighty, trusting in Him, and placing our trust in Him, and striving to end the aggression, occupation, and blockade so that our dear people may enjoy full independence and freedom, benefit from their national resources, live with dignity and pride, be free from dependency and interference in their internal affairs, and achieve a great renaissance based on their faith-based identity.”

He also affirmed Yemen’s unwavering stance against the enemies of Islam and the enemies of humanity, namely the Zionist Jews and their allies among the followers of their Zionist movement in the infidel West, foremost among them America and ‘Israel’.

“These enemies openly and blatantly declare their intense hostility towards Islam through their repeated insults against the Holy Quran, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and Islamic holy sites. This includes the infidel criminal [Trump]’s insult to Mecca. They target Muslims with all manner of crimes in every sphere, working to exterminate them, occupy their lands, obliterate their identity, and target their holy sites, such as violating the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and striving to destroy it. Therefore, the responsibility that rests upon all Muslims is to confront their tyranny, resist their evil, and cooperate in this endeavor. For this reason, we reaffirm our Islamic brotherhood within the axis of jihad and resistance, and the principle of unity in all arenas.”

Sayyed Al-Houthi called for a serious effort to achieve an Islamic revival, to acquire the means of strength, and to build an Islamic civilizational model based on adherence to the Holy Quran, following the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and drawing lessons from the great Islamic renaissance.
