Justice & Human Rights Ministry condemns Zionist terrorist aggression on Hodeidah
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights condemned today's Zionist terrorist aggression on Hodeidah province.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the ministry said that the Zionist enemy aircraft launched on Monday a series of aggressive raids targeting Al-Hodeidah port and a number of civilian areas in Al-Hodeidah province.
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights pointed out that this crime once again reveals the criminal and aggressive nature of the Zionist entity. It stressed that the aggression against Yemen is an extension of the Zionist enemy's criminal plans, after it targeted and continues to target Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, as part of the Zio-American project aimed at starving the peoples of the region and subjugating them by force.
It considered this aggression a new crime added to the record of war crimes and extermination committed by the Zionist enemy entity against the peoples of the region, in flagrant violation of all international norms and laws, especially the United Nations Charter and the Geneva Conventions, which criminalise the targeting of civilian facilities and objects, and vital ports that represent a lifeline for millions of people.
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights warned of the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of targeting Hodeidah port, as it is the main maritime outlet for food and medicine to reach millions of Yemenis under a blockade and aggression that has been ongoing for years.
It held the international community and the United Nations, led by the Security Council, legally and morally responsible for their silence and complicity in the face of this crime, as well as previous crimes that threaten international peace and security and flout all humanitarian and legal principles.
The Ministry reaffirmed the legitimate right of the Republic of Yemen to take whatever defence options it deems appropriate to protect its sovereignty, people and territory from any external aggression.
It called on all free and honourable people of the world and international and regional human rights organisations to condemn this cowardly Zionist aggression and take urgent action to document this crime , submit it to the competent international courts and forums to ensure that war criminals do not go unpunished, as it is a full-fledged war crime.

Road Opening Initiatives: Humanitarian Priority for Sana'a Leadership to Strengthen National Cohesion
Sana'a - Saba: The Revolutionary Leadership and the Supreme Political Council have placed road opening among their national and humanitarian priorities, based on their deep awareness of the daily suffering caused by closed roads to citizens, in light of the ongoing US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and blockade of the country. This concern has been evident in the successive initiatives launched by the Sana'a leadership, affirming its commitment to its moral and humanitarian responsibilities and embodying the goals of the September 21 Revolution, which aim to strengthen national cohesion and alleviate the suffering of citizens. Sana'a has pursued its revolutionary and liberation approach with awareness and responsibility, engaging with every initiative that would alleviate the suffering of citizens and improve their livelihoods, this comes at a time when the aggression coalition has been lurking in Yemen for decades, an extension of the era of British colonialism that extended its hegemony over the south of the country for approximately 129 years, during which it entrenched a policy of "divide and rule," dividing the nation into rival sheikhdoms and sultanates. The effects and repercussions of the aggression have multiplied, affecting various sectors, including depriving citizens of freedom of movement and communication through road closures and the targeting of travelers, either by enemy airstrikes or by banditry and looting gangs unleashed by the coalition on roads connecting governorates. Recognizing the vitality of this issue, the Sana'a leadership has presented a series of initiatives to open closed roads, believing in the importance of strengthening ties between Yemenis and facilitating freedom of movement between cities and regions, this is especially true since the closures were not limited to the north-south lines, but extended to include the interior districts and regions, exacerbating the daily suffering of citizens. The Sana'a leadership did not limit itself to the announced initiatives, but rather initiated their unilateral implementation on the ground, as a demonstration of good faith and a pretext for argument. However, the other side did not respond to these initiatives, given that the decision to open or close the road remained subject to the will of the Saudi and Emirati occupiers, who have transgressed all boundaries of neighborliness and Islamic and humanitarian values by launching a bloody aggression against a Muslim neighbor. Despite the repeated procrastination of the coalition's tools and mercenaries, and their continued rejection of road opening initiatives, the Sana'a leadership continued its humanitarian efforts with determination and national responsibility, these efforts resulted in the opening of several vital roads, including the Sana'a-Sirwah-Ma'rib Road, the Al-Bayda-Al-Jawba-Ma'rib City Road, the Al-Hawban-Qasr Al-Shaab-Al-Kamb Road, the Sana'a-Aden Road via Al-Dhale' Governorate, and finally the Aqabat Al-Mahalhal Road, linking the Abyan and Al-Bayda Governorates, this road was opened unilaterally, embodying the leadership's approach to alleviating the suffering of citizens and strengthening communication among the people of the nation. The road-opening initiatives would not have been possible without the Sana'a leadership's seriousness in addressing the repercussions of the aggression and blockade, despite the rifts created within the social fabric by the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition, in a desperate attempt to reproduce projects of hegemony and division. Despite this, the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council have been keen to overcome these challenges through a series of measures and steps, most notably the opening of internal and external roads, this will facilitate movement and trade, strengthen popular cohesion, and counter the attempts at division practiced by the occupying authorities in some governorates through regional division and identity discrimination. Opening roads between governorates is not merely a service-oriented measure; it is a fundamental right of Yemenis to freedom of movement, communication, and visitation, it contributes to protecting them from acts of banditry, kidnappings, and assassinations carried out by criminal gangs and armed militias loyal to the Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition in the occupied governorates, as part of colonial agendas seeking to destabilize security and impose a reality of chaos and division. The road-opening initiatives adopted by the Sana'a leadership were merely an extension of a steadfast humanitarian stance, a victory for the values of brotherhood and unity, and a rejection of all forms of fragmentation and division sought by the occupier and its tools. While the forces of aggression continue to obstruct every initiative that alleviates the suffering of the Yemeni people, the Sana'a government continues to present a responsible national model, with the spirit of the state, the morals of the revolution, and a firm stance.

America, militarization of peace: Strategy of imperial domination: Report
Sunday - Saba: State-sponsored terrorism has become an entrenched policy of the United States throughout its relatively short history as a colonial power. Peace has never been a preferred option in Washington's foreign policy playbook. Though its political existence spans just 250 years, the United States has spent over 93% of that time engaged in direct or proxy wars, military invasions, and interventions in the internal affairs of sovereign nations—from Vietnam to Iraq, Latin America to Afghanistan, Libya, and many other Arab and foreign countries. The U.S. has led or participated in over 90 wars and acts of aggression, many of which have resulted in the destruction of entire regions, staggering human losses, and well-documented war crimes and crimes against humanity. Today, the United States continues to undermine peace in the Middle East and poses a growing existential threat to the region. Under the guise of false pretexts, it has amassed naval forces in the Red Sea, while its real objective is to establish a permanent foothold in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Washington fully understands the strategic importance of this maritime corridor—one of the most critical in the world—as it connects the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe and oversees a significant portion of international trade, particularly oil. Throughout history and in present reality, the Red Sea has remained a target for colonial powers seeking access through various means, often manufacturing baseless pretexts for military presence. Today, the U.S. is forcefully attempting to assert its presence, disregarding the will of coastal nations, including the Republic of Yemen, which stands firm against any American military presence that threatens regional security. The Republic of Yemen has offered a courageous and principled model of resistance to U.S. militarism and its unflinching support for Israel's campaign of extermination in Gaza. Revolutionary leader Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi has consistently spotlighted the brutal crimes perpetrated by Zionist forces against defenseless civilians in Gaza, using lethal American weapons, in full view of the international community. Yemen has shouldered the burden of confronting both the Zionist entity and its backers and has succeeded in delivering military and political blows that even the U.S. and Israeli enemy have been forced to acknowledge. Meanwhile, Arab states remain passive observers in what is undeniably a battle for the very existence of the Palestinian people. The responsibility now lies squarely with Arab and Islamic leaders to rally behind Yemen in confronting Zionist militias and the growing American military presence in the region. What is needed is leadership with true national will and independent decision-making. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

Imam Zayd… A Renewed Flame of Revolution in Yemen's Memory and the Fronts of the Ummah
Sana'a – SABA Report: Jamil Al-Qashm The anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Zayd ibn Ali (peace be upon him) emerges as one of the pivotal stations in the path of revolutionary consciousness for the Ummah. It resurfaces every year in the hearts of the free as a symbol of dignity and a banner of defiance against tyranny. For the Yemeni people, this memory stands as an expression of the natural extension of a deeply rooted jihadist identity in their history and culture. In the current moment of the Ummah, where confrontation with the enemies of religion and Arab identity intensifies across multiple arenas, this anniversary gains additional dimensions. It transcends sorrowful mourning to become a burning act of mobilization. The presence of Imam Zayd nearly transforms into a core element in the awareness of the cultural front—a guiding light for free peoples seeking dignity and liberation from subjugation. The anniversary of his martyrdom lives in the conscience of Yemenis as a compass that regains its position whenever the forces of arrogance attempt to shake the awareness of the people. With every new aggression and regional or international conspiracy, the model presented by Imam Zayd in speaking the truth, refusing silence, and rising for God's cause is revived. This is clearly reflected today in Yemen's honorable jihadist stance in support of Gaza and against Zionist violations of the Ummah. Imam Zayd's revolution embodied the features of an authentic revolutionary school—not seeking power nor chasing authority—but rising in obedience to God's command to confront falsehood and support the oppressed. This same spirit is carried today by the Yemeni people as they take to the streets, bearing the principles of revolution in support of Palestine, just as Imam Zayd once did. Those who contemplate the Qur'anic methodology followed by Imam Zayd (peace be upon him) will find it clearly reflected in the vision of the martyred leader, Sayyed Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi, who reread Islamic history through the lens of awareness and insight. He examined the revolution of Imam Zayd at length as a moment of exposure for the corrupt Umayyad reality, a station that must be revisited to build the Ummah's awareness of its true enemies today. The biography of Imam Zayd occupied a significant space in the Qur'anic lectures delivered by the martyred leader, who presented him as a figure uniting jurisprudence and jihad, knowledge and action—an example that silence before injustice is complicity, and that the Ummah can only rise if its martyrs become eternal beacons in its cultural literature and political behavior. Revolutionary leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi is also keen not to let this anniversary pass in any year without recalling it in his speeches, emphasizing that what Yemen is experiencing today in terms of resilience and sacrifices is a natural extension of Imam Zayd's path and a practical embodiment of his immortal slogan: 'No people despised the sword except that they were humiliated'—a slogan that encapsulates the philosophy of dignity and resistance forming the identity of the contemporary Qur'anic project. This anniversary represents, in the consciousness of Yemen's cultural front, a station of revival and renewal, where the values of renaissance and sacrifice are revived, and the events of history are linked to the reality of confrontation. The biography of Imam Zayd is not read as a chapter from the past but as an enduring banner and a voice crying from his blood to drive the Ummah toward liberation and confronting arrogance in all its forms and manifestations. This renewed revolutionary memory has yielded collective awareness among the Yemeni people. Occasions associated with martyrs and leaders have become moments of mobilization and rallying, where past and present struggles are linked. Imam Zayd has become more than a page in a book—he is a spirit in the trenches, a voice in the marches, steps on the frontlines, and an echo repeated in every speech and every moment of honor and dignity. This living awareness was evident in the massive public response to the events held in various provinces, where slogans of loyalty to the path of Imam Zayd were raised, and his revolutionary words echoed in chants. Simultaneously, a parallel campaign of awareness and mobilization was carried out across media, platforms, and lectures, making this anniversary an act combining emotion and intellect, history and reality. The anniversary of Imam Zayd's martyrdom this year intertwined with the Yemeni position in support of Gaza, as if history is repeating itself more clearly. The enemy of yesterday is the same enemy today, and the uprising against Umayyad tyranny then is mirrored today in a progressive stance against the Zionist entity. Revolutionary paths remain the same regardless of time and place, as long as the essence of the battle is truth versus falsehood. This anniversary comes at a historic moment in which Palestine is facing the ugliest aggression, while most Arab regimes stand as spectators. From the heart of Sana'a and across Yemeni cities, vibrant stances emerge reminiscent of the first cries in Karbala and Kufa—there is no place for cowardice, no option but jihad, and no voice louder than that of righteous resistance, made real through action, stance, and word. The lessons of Imam Zayd today are seen in the language of confrontation, in the tools of mobilization, and in the framing of revolutionary discourse that doesn't submit to reality but engages with it, directing it toward truth and redefining the relationship between religion and politics on the basis of the Qur'an and dignity, not surrender and justification under the pressure of weapons and propaganda. The true depth of commemorating this anniversary lies in reading it not in isolation from the liberation project Yemen is currently leading. Every moment of loyalty to Imam Zayd contains within it a condemnation of silence, a provocation for revolution, and a call to redefine religious values far from submission. This is the message Yemen now carries to all the free people of the world, from its advanced position in the global battle against tyranny. Today, this anniversary is part of the living political memory of contemporary Yemen. Imam Zayd has become a symbol of revolution—not of sect, of freedom—not of history, of truth—not of jurisprudential interpretations. In this sense, Imam Zayd has become one of the pillars of Yemen's modern cultural identity, as a historical counterpart to every act of resistance against aggression, dependency, and Zionist-American hegemony over the peoples. Thus, commemorating Imam Zayd's anniversary does not end in mourning the past—it begins with awakening, with movement, turning history into fuel for confrontation. Through it, the image of Yemen as envisioned by the martyrs is realized: an unbreakable banner, an unyielding voice, and a principled stance that cannot be bought. Imam Zayd remains, year after year, a beacon of confrontation and an unextinguished flame in the long night of the Ummah. Amid the grave challenges the Yemeni people face, from ongoing aggression and a blockade led by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, the greatness of the Yemeni stance lies in its refusal to retreat into its wounds. Instead, Yemen has risen above its pain to carry the cause of the Ummah on its shoulders. Its position on the Palestinian struggle is sincere and stems from deep belief, inspired by the flame of Karbala, Zayd's cry, Hussein's patience, and the noble legacy of the Prophet's family. The revolutionary leadership in Sana'a has proven that commitment to Qur'anic values yields a position that does not disintegrate under siege, nor retreat in the face of aggression. Rather, it becomes more solid and resilient—affirming to the world that Yemen, though deeply wounded, is not broken, and that its revolution is inseparable from the revolutions of Hussein and Zayd. Supporting Gaza is not political—it is a deeply rooted conviction in the conscience of a people who do not bargain with their dignity, nor stand idle in the great battles of the Ummah.
