Sana'a - Saba:
Cultural parties were held in the districts of Sana'a Governorate to commemorate the conquest of Mecca, the Battle of Badr, and the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Ali, peace be upon him, as part of the Ramadan program.
In the Al-Haymah Al-Kharijiyah District, the governorate's General Mobilization Officer, Fayez Al-Hanmi, highlighted in his speech the importance of promoting noble values and correct behavior in the hearts of community members by remembering martyrs and great figures, and recalling the virtues that Yemenis traditionally celebrate through remembrance, glorification, supplication, and recitation of the Holy Quran.
The speeches of the participants at the evening, which was attended by the director of the district, Khaled Al-Arshi, the director of the district, Hamdan Al-Darwani, a number of directors of the district's executive offices, and social figures, emphasized the importance of drawing lessons and morals from history to promote the culture of jihad and martyrdom in defense of religion, homeland, and the nation. They pointed to the killing and dragging taking place in Syria due to people abandoning jihad.
The speeches called for mobilizing efforts, continuing cultural courses, enrolling in the "Al-Aqsa Flood" courses, and preparing for this sensitive stage, during which the nation is facing American and British aggression as a result of its supportive stance toward the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
In the Manakha District, a cultural awareness evening was held in the Bayt Al-Mudai' sub-district, attended by the District Director, Munir Al-Kabsi, the Secretary-General of the Local Council, Ali Ghaleb, a number of executive office directors, and social figures.

They emphasized the importance of commemorating the historical milestones of the Islamic call, the sacrifices it made, and the struggle against hordes of hypocrites.
The speeches emphasized that the Conquest of Mecca represented a major turning point in the history of the Islamic call, through which it entered the global stage.

They called for celebrating these religious occasions to strengthen faith and foster a sense of responsibility toward the true Islamic faith. They urged people to take advantage of the summer vacation to encourage their children to enroll in summer courses to protect them from false cultures, false beliefs, and destructive calls, and to participate in the Tufan Al-Aqsa courses.

Dr. Bin Habtoor Joins Shabwa Eid al-Adha celebration, affirms Sana'a as Haven Yemeni resistance to Occupation
Sana'a - Saba: Dr. Abdulaziz Saleh Bin Habtoor, a member of the Supreme Political Council, on Sunday participated in an Eid al-Adha event organized by the local authority and Executive Office in Shabwa governorate. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Bin Habtoor conveyed greetings and congratulations from the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Mahdi al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council. He underscored the leadership's commitment to the people of Shabwa and the southern and eastern governorates. Dr. Bin Habtoor emphasized Sana'a's historical role as a refuge for all Yemenis, not only during current challenges but consistently since the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, affirming its enduring status as Yemen's capital, particularly during difficult periods. He drew parallels to the suffering endured by southern governorates under British occupation and a subsequent "totalitarian regime," noting that Sana'a provided a welcoming haven. He explained that Yemenis' decision to rally behind the leader of the revolution stems from their refusal to accept any colonizer, whether "small or large," including "Britain or its tools and creations, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia," stressing that Yemenis have never and will never accept such occupiers. Dr. Bin Habtoor referenced historical resistance, including the revolt against Captain Haines in Aden 150 years ago, and the resistance in southern Abyan, Hadhramaut, the Awaliq Mountains, and Bayhan, which received support from northern Yemen at the time. He commended Shabwa Governorate for hosting the event, which he said reaffirmed continuous support for the revolutionary, political, and military leadership's decisions regarding Palestinian rights and addressed issues concerning the governorate's populace. Attendees included Deputy Minister of Administration, Local and Rural Development Nasser al-Mahdhar, Hadhramaut Governor Luqman Baras, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Administration, Local and Rural Development Jamal Al-Alawi, as well as local authority, security, and military leaders, sheikhs, and dignitaries from the governorate. Shabwa Governor Awad Al-Awlaki praised the steadfastness of the people of Shabwa on the "front lines of pride and dignity." He highlighted the importance of believing in victory, citing the justice of the cause, the leadership of Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and the unifying political project of the Yemeni people as key factors. Governor Al-Awlaki stressed the significance of building upon the goals of the "glorious September 21 Revolution" to establish a modern, strong, and independent Yemeni state with sovereign decision-making, free from foreign interference. He underscored the importance of Yemen's current battle in support of "brothers in the Gaza Strip," who are facing "genocide and starvation by the Zionist entity with American support," asserting that Yemen's honorable stance will be a source of pride for all free people of the nation. He concluded by reiterating the Shabwa people's support for all leadership decisions that back the "oppressed Palestinian people" and defend holy sites. The event featured two poems celebrating the stance of the Leader and the Yemeni people in solidarity with Gaza. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)
