“Our revolution will continue until we guarantee our existence, dignity and independence, these things cannot be compromised,” Sayyed Houthi said while addressing Yemenis on Sunday on the eve of the first anniversary of the Yemeni revolution.
Referring to the colossal greed that threatens Yemen and its wealth, Sayyed Houthi stressed that the revolution saved Yemen from loss and from the invaders attempt to control it through several pretexts, including the influence of al-Qaeda.
“The 21st of September Revolution represented a popular choice at the time previous political forces were a tool to pass the invasion of Yemen scheme."
“They wanted to occupy the country and seize its wealth and its location and if this was achieved they wouldn’t have hesitated to sow more discord,” he said.
Sayyed Houthi stressed that the Yemenis welcome any efforts for peaceful solutions as long as they doesn’t violate the Yemeni people rights.
Sayyed Houthi also voiced support for diplomatic efforts to solve the deadly conflict in the impoverished Arab country as long as they "do not harm the national sovereignty, legitimize the [Saudi] aggression and deny the Yemeni people their rights.
He added that Ansarullah delegates went to the “peace talks” in Oman last weekend, even though pro-Saudi aggressors already ruled out taking part in the negotiations.
Sayyed Houthi also accused Saudi Arabia of barring most Yemeni pilgrims from traveling to the kingdom to perform the annual Haj pilgrimage, which starts this week. The Ansarullah leader noted that, "The holy city of Mecca does not belong to the Saudi regime."
Meanwhile Yemenis took to the streets in the capital, Sana'a, to slam the relentless and deadly Saudi aggression against their country.
On Monday, thousands of people staged a demonstration in Sanaa at the invitation of the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, Abdel Malek al-Houthi.
The massive rally was held to mark the first anniversary of the Yemenis’ revolution against the corrupt administration of the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia began its aggression against Yemen – without a UN mandate – in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
According to reports, 6,091 Yemenis have so far lost their lives in the Saudi airstrikes and a total of 13,552 people have been injured.
Meanwhile, reports said that the Yemeni army, backed by popular committees, launched attacks against Saudi positions in the kingdom’s southwestern province of Jizan in retaliation for Riyadh’s unabated military campaign against the Yemeni nation. According to reports, the Yemeni forces managed to bring three villages under control in Jizan.
