Shabwa Governor calls on Yemeni forces to rally around leader Al-Houthi
Sana'a - Saba: The Governor of Shabwa, Awad Al-Awlaki, called on all Yemeni political forces, especially in the occupied southern provinces, to unite around the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badruddin Al-Houthi, who champions the comprehensive national project for all Yemenis. He urged them to abandon partisan loyalties, multiple leaderships, and the ideologies of political factions. In a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Governor Al-Awlaki emphasized the importance of all political forces working together to build the nation and serve its people. He noted that the experiences of past decades have proven that partisan extremism is the root cause of all problems in the developing world. He pointed out that the true solution for building Yemen lies in a national dialogue involving all Yemeni figures, one based on national rather than partisan interests. He affirmed that dialogue among Yemenis will pave the way for independent decision-making, achieving security , stability, and building a strong, prosperous Yemen free from foreign interference. "If the appropriate conditions are met, and we set aside personal and partisan interests, we will build a strong Yemen that regains its historical standing, which was lost due to conspiracies," he said. The Governor of Shabwa explained that the success of any revolution in the world depends on having a clear vision and unified leadership, as achieved in the glorious September 21 Revolution, which had a single leader and vision. He noted that the September 21 Revolution carried the project of sovereignty, dignity, and independence, with its foremost goals being liberation from foreign dependency and domination, and confidently moving toward building a unified Yemeni state, free from hollow slogans or divided loyalties. He expressed confidence that Sayyid Abdulmalik Al-Houthi will lead Yemen to safety and achieve social justice for all Yemenis through equitable participation in wealth and power, rebuilding a Yemen that has faced numerous conspiracies since the September 26 Revolution of 1962. Governor Al-Awlaki affirmed that the September 21 Revolution has accomplished many goals that previous revolutions failed to achieve. He clarified that the Quranic March, led by Sayyid Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, is grounded in a fundamental and unified reference—the Holy Quran—which obliges everyone to reject ideological and partisan theories that have historically proven unsuccessful. He highlighted that Sayyid Abdulmalik Al-Houthi's positions in supporting the Palestinian people and their just cause have not only been a source of pride for Yemen but also for the Arab , Islamic nations and all free people worldwide. This, he said, confirms that Sayyid Al-Houthi is a courageous leader with the wisdom and insight to guide Yemen. Al-Awlaki reiterated that Yemen's interest lies in continuing the Quranic March project and confidently advancing toward building a unified Yemen with sovereign decision-making, serving the nation's and the ummah's causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause.

Governor Al-Awlaki explained to the Yemeni News Agency (SABA) that the 35th National Day of the Republic of Yemen "22 May" is an occasion carrying profound meanings and great significance in the consciousness of the Yemeni people, as it represents the practical culmination of the efforts of the strugglers and the realization of the most important goals of the Yemeni September and October revolutions. He pointed out that the challenges and dangers facing Yemen and its people confirm to everyone that Yemeni unity is the only way to confront all challenges and overcome them, and to build a strong Yemeni state at all levels. He noted that Yemenis today are more committed than ever to their unity, as it represents a true embodiment of pride and dignity, adding "A great, strong, free and independent Yemen with its sovereign decision, emerging from the cloak of guardianship and dependency, is the homeland aspired to by all the Yemeni people and the refuge that provides all Yemenis with pride and dignified living". The Governor of Shabwa referred to the repression suffered by the people of the southern and eastern governorates, accompanied by plundering of wealth, tampering with capabilities, starvation, lack of the most basic services, and a significant deterioration in living conditions, which exposes the lies and malicious goals of the occupying states. He affirmed that unity, with its meanings of freedom, sovereignty and independence, is the guarantee for building a free, strong and independent Yemen capable of facing all challenges, pointing to the failure of conspiracies that attempt to force Yemenis to abandon their unity. He added "The leader Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi is the one with the comprehensive national project for all the people of Yemen, through the visions he has presented that have crystallized on the ground in record time, and have been witnessed by near and far despite the aggression with its multiple nationalities and the conspiracies from various sources, and he is the one who bears on his shoulders the project of building a strong, free and independent Yemen". Al-Awlaki touched on Yemen's honorable position in support of Gaza and all of Palestine, and the victory for the just causes of the nation at this pivotal stage, despite the aggression and siege Yemen is subjected to, considering the military development achieved by Yemen as the beginning of the nation's advancement at all levels Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)
