Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Ansar Allah
movement, speaks during the ninth anniversary of the National Day for
Resilience, on March 25, 2024. <em>(Yemeni Armed Forces/Military Media)</em>
</li></div></ul>
<p>The Saudi-led US-backed aggression on Yemen came in the context of a
comprehensive plan to rearrange the status quo in West Asia and put it
under the leadership of the Israeli regime, the leader of the Yemeni
Ansar Allah movement Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in an address on
Monday evening. </p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi made the remarks during the ninth anniversary of the National Day for Resilience on the 15th of Ramadan.</p>
<p>He stressed that via the aggression on Yemen, international actors
aimed to liquidate the Palestinian cause and instigate major changes in
the region, which would allow the Israeli occupation to assert its
control over it. </p>
<p>"One of the objectives of the aggression on our country is to enable
the Israeli enemy to lead the region and [support it in doing so], as
appeared in the normalization program or the deal of the century,"
Sayyed al-Houthi explained. </p>
<p>"The aggression on our country has no legitimacy, no legitimate
goals, and no legitimate practices," the leader of the Yemeni Resistance
movement underlined. </p>
<p>"The headlines raised by the coalition were exposed," Sayyed
al-Houthi said in reference to propaganda disseminated by coalition
countries attempting to legitimize the aggression against Yemen. </p>

<h2>'Israel', the enemy of all Muslims and Arabs</h2>
<p>"Our enemy is the enemy of the entire Ummah. The Israeli enemy
constitutes a real danger to all Muslims, especially Arabs," he added. </p>
<p>"Israeli animosity to Arabs is a well-known, clear, and frank
animosity that extends to their culture, schools of thought, heritage,
and politics," the Yemeni leader emphasized. </p>
<p>On this point, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted the role of the
normalization campaigns spearheaded by the United States and "Israel".</p>
<p>"The normalization plan came to overlap Israeli animosity and inflame wars and strife within our Ummah."</p>
<p>"A tragedy for our Ummah was marked when states, governments, and
regimes moved their energies and capabilities to serve American
policies," Sayyed al-Houthi added.</p>
<p>He saw such actions as a "great hardship" and a "clear loss" to the Arab nation.</p>
<p>"For the Israeli enemy, normalization is a means to consolidate and
strengthen its control and influence to infiltrate into the entire Arab
world," he stated. </p>

<h2>Sanaa seeks no animosity, only confrontation with the triad of evil</h2>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi affirmed that Sanaa seeks to reach agreements and
peace with all Arab and Islamic countries, aiming to enhance its
relations with partners. However, he did stress that Yemen is in a state
of confrontation with the "<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-in-an-open-battle-with-us--uk--talks-with-riyadh-posit">triad of evil</a>," which consists of the United States, the United Kingdom, and "Israel".</p>
<p>The leader of the Ansar Allah movement said that Yemen will continue to support the Palestinian people via <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/china--russia-broker-deal-for-red-sea-safe-passage--bloomber">military operations</a> conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF).</p>
<p>"Our military operations will continue," Sayyed al-Houthi said,
highlighting the importance of million-man-marches held by the Yemeni
people in support of compatriots in the Gaza Strip. </p>
<p>"Our media outlets are directed with all their energies and
capabilities to support the Palestinian people," Sayyed al-Houthi
revealed. </p>

<h2>Saudi Arabia, UAE should work for peace </h2>
<p>"There is no justification for the continued Saudi and Emirati procrastination regarding <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/saudi-messages-positive-must-be-put-into-practice:-politburo">peace requirements</a>
in light of the current stage," Sayyed al-Houthi said in relation to
peace talks between Sanaa, on one side, and Saudi Arabia and the United
Arab Emirates, on the other. </p>
<p>"Saudi Arabia and the Emirates must move from the phase of
de-escalation to peace efforts if they really want peace. Peace is the
actual and real interest of all parties."</p>
<p>"Serious steps in accordance with a clear agreement that includes
what we have emphasized in the discussions and negotiations throughout
all the past stages [should be taken]," Sayyed al-Houthi said. </p>
<p>"Peace includes a complete end to the siege, aggression, and
occupation, the exchange of prisoners, and compensation for damages," he
added.</p>
<p>"We advise everyone to emancipate themselves from blind dependence on
America, and we hope that we will reach a fair and just solution that
leads to the implementation of peace requirements," he stressed.</p>
<h2>Statistics from the war on Yemen</h2>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi revealed that the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/a-study-finds-us-corporate-media-behind-the-war-in-yemen">war on Yemen</a>
has led to the martyrdom and injury of more than 50,000 civilians, most
of them children and women, in addition to the martyred fighters.</p>
<p>Regarding the losses suffered by the war coalition, he said that the
number of killed and wounded from all formations and divisions of the
aggression armies and mercenaries reached 282,879.</p>
<p>In terms of vehicles and equipment, he noted that the enemies' losses
reached 18,397 pieces, adding that the Yemeni air defenses conducted
4,585 operations through which the Yemeni forces managed to down 165
warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft.</p>
<p>A nonfinal toll of the number of airstrikes carried out by the
coalition of aggression on the Yemeni people totaled 274,302, involving
bombs and missiles, throughout the years of the war on the country, the
Ansar Allah leader added.</p>
<p>He also pointed out that the war on the Yemeni people was not limited
to military attacks. He noted that the aggression coalition also
imposed a siege, which led to starvation used as a tool to attempt to
subdue the nation, and resorted to conspiracies against the national
currency and banks, aimed to undermine the country's economy.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in his speech, the leader of Ansar Allah said that the
aggressors destroyed a total of 613,992 houses and 1,843 mosques,
pointing out that the coalition did not respect the sanctity of worship
sites.</p>
<p>He also questioned whether "someone who destroys more than half a
million houses and university facilities is waging a war for the benefit
of the Yemeni people or is targeting a specific segment of its people."</p>
<p>Additionally, he mentioned that the coalition destroyed 427 hospitals
and medical facilities, in addition to killing a large number of
medical staff, despite the limited health services in Yemen.</p>
<p>Regarding the educational sector, Sayyed al-Houthi said that the
attacking countries destroyed 186 university facilities, many of which
were completely demolished, as well as 1,331 schools and educational
centers.</p>
<p>Furthermore, they destroyed 146 sports facilities, 269 archaeological
sites, 12,775 agricultural fields, and 63 media facilities, he added.</p>
<p>The Yemeni leader also said that 15 airports were destroyed.
Meanwhile, Sanaa International Airport continues to be targeted, despite
the weak infrastructure.</p>
<p>He added that the aggression targeted 354 power stations and
generators, as well as 7,940 roads and bridges, killing large numbers of
citizens. Moreover, 647 communication networks and stations and 3,332
water tanks and networks were targeted.</p>
<p>Regarding government institutions, Sayyed al-Houthi explained that
the aggression targeted 2,155 government facilities, 417 factories, 397
fuel tankers, 434 fuel stations, 12,534 commercial establishments, and
484 chicken and livestock farms.</p>

<h2>Al-Houthi: We go into the 10th year with advanced military capabilities</h2>
<p>"Our position is clear when it comes to the Americans, the Israelis, and the British," Sayyed al-Houthi said. </p>
<p>"We are going into the tenth year with advanced military capabilities
to protect our people and support the oppressed Palestinian people in
confronting the plots of enemies," Sayyed al-Houthi underscored. </p>
<p>"We enter with an organized and faithful army that has combined actual experience and development," he added. </p>
<p>"We enter with general mobilization and with unprecedented shared
popular consciousness and complete cohesion to our internal front,"
Sayyed al-Houthi said. </p>
<p>Finalizing his speech with a message of gratitude to those who stood
by the Yemeni people for the past ten years, Sayyed al-Houthi extended
Yemen's thanks to the Islamic Republic in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon.</p>
<p>"Our brothers in Hezbollah in Lebanon had a had a position of
support, solidarity, and cooperation with our country and faced many
problems as a result [of their stance]," Sayyed al-Houthi said. </p>
<p>"We thank our brothers in Iraq and all the free people of the world... who supported our people," Sayyed al-Houthi concluded. </p>
