Message of the Yemeni national resistance

In these crucial hours, the heroes of the Yemeni Army & the Popular Committees are on the offensive against the criminal US-Saudi aggression on all fronts and in all corners of our dear homeland.

Victory after victory are being recorded into the books of history, as the entire world witnesses our might and glory on the battlefield. The Yemeni People’s Forces have been able to safeguard the Republic and its people by any means necessary, as is our right according to International Law. We did not choose war but were forced into one by foreign enemy states whose sole objective is to subdue the Yemeni people, and to crush its demands for freedom, democracy, and self-determination.

Global public opinion has been tarnished by Saudi lobbying and dirty petrodollars soaked with the blood of our dead children.

Channel after channel, newspaper after newspaper in your part of the world, they call us “rebels” or even “terrorists”.

When you heroically took up arms to defeat and resist Nazi tyranny and occupation in your countries, nobody blamed you for it, even though your fight was a tough battle and many lives were lost.

Because it was your right to defend your people, your democracy, and your self-determination in the face of a menacing aggressor. Yet when we, the Yemeni people, the descendants of the Himyarites, defend ourselves through a people’s armed struggle against another tyrannical fascist regime of our time, we are blamed for it and stigmatized.

To the free people of the world.

Our struggle is a dignified struggle. We fight to preserve our country, our freedom, and our democracy.

The tyrants of the fascist Saudi regime represents neither democracy, nor freedom in any way, shape or form.

We fight based on principles which have shaped your countries and which you enjoy a free life under. A life we desire and a life we deserve. Listen not to the western media, for they are fixated on a narrative incompatible with the facts and truths that we experience in our daily lives. Your governments actively fund the war against our country, and it is our duty and responsibility to defend ourselves against any and all threats coming our way.

Long live the Yemeni Republic!

Long live the People’s Revolution!
