[00:17:23] He pointed out that the project teams have cleared a total [00:17:26] of more than [00:17:28] 421,000 [00:17:31] square meters of land in Midi and in [00:17:34] Abyan Governorate.

[00:17:55] In a striking scene that transcended the school walls [00:18:00] interaction, the chants of female students resonated on social [00:18:04] media platforms after they confronted [00:18:07] imposed slogans with words that carried [00:18:10] clear national connotations. From within a school yard, [00:18:14] their voices rose in the name of Yemen against the Houthi [00:18:18] militia. Details in [00:18:21] a striking scene that received wide interaction, [00:18:25] the courtyard of a school under the control of the Houthi [00:18:28] militia turned into a space for expressing adherence [00:18:31] to national identity and rejecting imposed slogans. [00:18:35] A video clip showed [00:18:38] a Houthi supervisor asking female students of a school [00:18:41] to chant the militia's slogan, but the [00:18:44] response was different from his expectations, as [00:18:47] the voices of the female students rose with a unified chant: [00:18:51] "With spirit, with blood, we sacrifice for you, Yemen! No Houthi [00:18:55] after [00:18:55] today!" [00:19:05] No one. [00:19:08] The video sparked wide interaction on social media [00:19:11] platforms, where followers considered it an expression of [00:19:15] the young generations' adherence to national identity and rejection [00:19:18] of attempts to impose slogans and ideological ideas within [00:19:21] educational institutions. Others saw it as a message [00:19:25] of hope that confirms that the will of Yemenis is still [00:19:28] able to express itself despite the challenges. This [00:19:32] incident reflects one aspect of the growing rejection [00:19:36] of the militia's practices. The Houthi attempts to [00:19:41] students, both male and female, also confirm the presence of Yemeni identity [00:19:45] in the consciousness of the new generations despite [00:19:47] years of war and ideological mobilization. The words may [00:19:51] seem simple, but their impact [00:19:53] transcended the limits of a fleeting school chant. From [00:19:57] within a school yard, the voices of female students [00:20:00] resounded with a message that summarized a broad Yemeni dream: [00:20:04] a homeland restored and a state returned, [00:20:07] and a future that its children look forward to, away from [00:20:11] the coup and the militias. [00:20:13] And while the militia sought to impose its slogans, the female students [00:20:16] chose to raise their voices in the name of Yemen in a scene [00:20:20] that many considered proof that the national identity [00:20:25] the conscience, and that the hope for a future [00:20:28] based on the state and citizenship has not [00:20:31] been extinguished despite the challenges imposed by [00:20:34] years of war and coup. [00:20:39] The news has ended. Here's a reminder of the main [00:20:42] headlines: [00:20:47] The Ministry of Defense affirms that the armed forces [00:20:50] will respond to the aggression of the Houthi terrorist militia at the appropriate [00:20:54] time [00:20:54] and place. [00:20:59] Presidential Leadership Council member Sultan Al-Arada discusses with the British Ambassador developments [00:21:03] in the situation and efforts to protect maritime [00:21:05] navigation.
