Alwaght- The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement says Saudi-led war on his country is backed by the US and serving the interests of the Israeli regime.
Addressing Yemenis via a televised speech broadcast live from the country's capital city of Sana’a on Tuesday evening, Abdul Malik Badreddin al-Houthi strongly condemned the ongoing Saudi Arabia’s devastating aerial bombardment campaign against his country, blaming the US as the main architect of the atrocious military aggression.
He added that the Saudi regime has made use of all available means in its attacks against the Yemeni nation. “Civilian and religious sites have been targeted in Yemen within the three years of Saudi war. The Saudi regime does not shy from pounding anything which has to do with Yemen,” he said.
The Ansarullah leader added that the Saudi aerial assaults against funeral processions in Yemen conclusively prove the inhumane nature of the Saudi aggression against Yemen.
Aggressors failed
"Aggressors have, nevertheless, failed to force Yemenis into submission,” he underlined.
The Ansarullah leader also decried the deafening silence of the United Nations and the international community vis-à-vis the Saudi crimes and atrocities in Yemen.
"Saudi crimes against Yemen a test for the entire world to see whether they speak the truth or not,” Houthi pointed out.
He stressed that Saudi Arabia and its regional allies are serving the interests of the Zionist regime of Israel in their military campaign against Yemen.
Houthi said the developments in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s capital well showed that the incumbent regime in Saudi Arabia is merely a puppet in the hands of the US administration.
Saudi regime betrayed Muslims nations
"The Saudi regime is an outsider and a traitor to all Muslim nations. Yemeni people are standing together in the face of the Saudi aggression no matter how different their stances might be,” the Ansarullah leader said.
He also slammed the media cover-up by Western media outlets over the Saudi war on Yemen.
Al-Houthi further noted that the most savage and reactionary regimes in the West Asia region are involved in the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen.
"Yemenis will never surrender to the murderers of women and children. Enemies will not be able to take away our freedom, and weaken our willpower,” he commented.
1,000 days of steadfastness
The Ansarullah chief said the 1,000 days of resistance and steadfastness by the Yemeni people against Saudi Arabia and its allies attested the fact that Yemenis’ faith cannot be undermined in any away.
He lauded the sacrifices made by the Yemeni people, stressing that “We will not allow our enemies to colonize Yemen.”
"Aggressors thought they could occupy the entire Yemen within a matter of days. Thousands of our children have been mercilessly killed in the Saudi-led airstrikes. This is while Yemenis are still resilient and steadfast despite the all-out war and various shortcomings they are wrestling with,” al-Houthi said.
Saudi regime caused world's worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen
The Yemeni leader lashed out at the Saudi regime over turning Yemen into the world's largest humanitarian crisis, emphasizing that Yemeni forces would not hesitate to launch barrages of domestic missiles at Riyadh and the Emirati capital city of Abu Dhabi if the airstrikes continue.
The Ansarullah also called upon all Yemeni factions, institutions and all walks of the society to join forces against the current challenges.
The Saudi-led military coalition has been continuously pounding Yemen since 27 March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Ansarullah movement and reinstate the former fugitive president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Saudi regime. Over 13,000 Yemenis, mostly civilians, including women and children, have been killed in the Saudi-led aggression.
The situation in Yemen is going from bad to worse with senior UN officials warning that the country is facing the world's largest famine in decades. The World Food Program says of a population of 26 million, some 17 million Yemenis do not know where their next meal is coming from and seven million are totally dependent on food aid.
