[00:00:00] But in terms of the twenty-sixth. of its siege, the Houthis realize the importance of this governorate
[00:00:04] and their fear of it leaving this square, because if it left,
[00:00:08] it would expand, and its people would not stop at the borders of Taiz governorate. Yes, but
[00:00:11] we have heard a lot of such talk and such
[00:00:14] statements throughout the previous period. Has the time truly changed today,
[00:00:17] and has the decision
[00:00:21] been made the governorate? I assure you that
[00:00:24] the situation has changed,
[00:00:27] your children is high on and the support, God willing, will be good. It has started, but
[00:00:31] it will be completed, and God willing, this governorate
[00:00:34] will show us,
[00:00:36] And there was also no from its strength,
[00:00:39] and from its heroes, what will please the hearts
[00:00:42] of all Yemenis. Okay, I will also move on to another topic
[00:00:46] they are not there. They tell you they are in and I would like your interpretation of the escalation carried out by
[00:00:49] the Houthi militias against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the targeting
[00:00:53] of many cities. What is your interpretation of this matter? I
[00:00:56] talk a lot about this issue. The Houthis
[00:01:00] want to drag the Kingdom
[00:01:02] the Red Sea. In what context should this of Saudi Arabia into a battle where they choose its method
[00:01:04] and style. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a large country
[00:01:08] and a country that has, as you say, its ties in
[00:01:12] the world, and a pivotal country in
[00:01:15] runs like blood in the Arab
[00:01:16] in the harvest. and Islamic world. So, messing with
[00:01:19] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they have patience and long
[00:01:22] endurance, but if their patience runs out,
[00:01:24] the Houthis will have made a bad
[00:01:28] decision for themselves.
[00:01:32] that it cannot continue in this The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a sister of Yemen and its neighbor, and no
[00:01:35] group can be in Yemen and come to stand against
[00:01:38] the Kingdom. Therefore, he
[00:01:46] who fight or who are close to with many is trying to drag the Kingdom into a battle and tell the world that his battle is with the Kingdom, but the truth is that his battle on the ground is with
[00:01:48] in this the Yemenis, and he is killing the Yemenis, and he
[00:01:50] is, I mean, he lifts the siege of Gaza and besieges the city
[00:01:54] of Taiz, for example. These lies and games are no longer
[00:01:57] effective or deceiving to anyone. Therefore,
[00:02:00] I believe that if the Kingdom's
[00:02:02] any case, I believe that this patience runs out, it will be a disaster for the Houthis, and they are
[00:02:06] still trying to endure with patience, hoping
[00:02:10] I ask our children, and they do not realize that he will come to his senses or return
[00:02:13] to his senses, and I believe he will not return. Yes.
[00:02:16] phones at all on the fronts. Okay. I want to expand the discussion
[00:02:19] more and go towards
[00:02:22] international statements, and through your
[00:02:26] monitoring of all the statements that have been made, how do you follow the statement?
[00:02:30] Even the American one regarding what happened on the West Bank, what
[00:02:33] came out from the American administration
[00:02:37] this and also what came out from President
[00:02:38] myself to anyone. No Trump. We always, as military personnel
[00:02:41] in the world of politics, always say that what resolves statements is
[00:02:45] the field, what obtains the statement, but let me say that
[00:02:49] perhaps many people looked at this statement as
[00:02:52] negative, but
[00:02:54] also
[00:02:56] they do not know the hidden political aspects and what is happening, of course.
[00:03:00] All those we met, whether military attaches or officials
[00:03:04] from the major and
[00:03:07] active countries, all confirm, especially the British
[00:03:10] and Americans, that the presence of such
[00:03:13] a group on this strait
[00:03:15] will be a disaster for the whole world,
[00:03:19] not just for Yemenis, and not even for the region,
[00:03:22] but for the world. Therefore, I believe that there are
[00:03:26] political matters being managed
[00:03:28] in the Marib fronts, especially in in secret, I believe. That they will have their results
[00:03:32] in the near future, or perhaps they will
[00:03:36] take a phase related to the American elections or something,
[00:03:39] but ultimately, I do not believe that any of the great powers
[00:03:43] or such would allow a gang like this
[00:03:47] to control the Bab el-Mandeb strait and affect global trade,
[00:03:52] They say they are in battle, but they are not in because its impact will reach the European and American citizen before it reaches the Yemeni citizen. What
[00:03:56] are the most prominent international moves that have been observed during the recent period?
[00:04:02] we also followed today toward what happened recently?
[00:04:05] What is striking or what is most prominent in this matter? The most prominent is
[00:04:09] perhaps the meeting of His Excellency the President of the Republic, the Commander of the Armed Forces,
[00:04:12] with the ambassadors of the major countries and also the countries
[00:04:16] concerned with the Yemeni file, and also in general.
[00:04:19] The President's speech was clear
[00:04:22] to them, and he told them that this issue might affect us in
[00:04:27] is an arena. Yemen, but it will affect the whole world. A gang cannot
[00:04:30] rule a dangerous waterway
[00:04:33] in this way. If Iran turned into
[00:04:37] a gang and started closing the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:04:40] then it is more likely
[00:04:42] Republic, starting from that this gang will close Bab el-Mandeb, and everyone will be affected.
[00:04:45] The speech was clear, and his speech was frank, and there was no
[00:04:49] ambiguity, but it was a frank speech, but it was
[00:04:53] clear that either the world stands
[00:04:56] with these catastrophic people, or
[00:05:00] the whole world will be affected. Yes, but Major General, whoever follows the reactions
[00:05:03] to the fighters on the fronts: or the echoes of international actions towards the Houthi militias
[00:05:07] was not up to the level of the event. Let us
[00:05:10] الحدث دعنا.
[00:05:12] say that it was not from everyone, but a part was indeed not up to
[00:05:16] the level of the event, especially the envoy's briefing was not
[00:05:19] as expected by
[00:05:23] the state and the legitimate government, nor
[00:05:25] did it even meet the truth, nor the United Nations. I mean,
[00:05:29] to equate the state with the militias
[00:05:32] and to equate those who
[00:05:35] violated the truce with those who adhered to it,
[00:05:38] and on the contrary, violated it treacherously,
[00:05:42] attacked all fronts, and also between militias
[00:05:45] and a state.
[00:05:48] credibility in the presentation, which truly
[00:05:52] angered perhaps
[00:05:54] the Yemeni government, and the statement
[00:05:57] of Professor Maamar Al-Iryani was speaking on behalf of the government
[00:06:01] in this regard and in this direction. Yes, yes, among the international news
[00:06:04] that we followed in this direction,
[00:06:07] we followed news about the Italian navy
[00:06:11] heading to
[00:06:15] movement be interpreted? It is probably interpreted in the context of new alliances
[00:06:18] currently being formed to protect this important
[00:06:21] waterway. And I believe that the Iranians
[00:06:25] are still, I mean,
[00:06:28] they want to arrange their situation, but they
[00:06:32] use these and kill and slaughter, and
[00:06:35] they do not care about anything. The Yemeni people mean nothing to them, and they do not care how many
[00:06:39] people the Houthis kill to reach these corridors. But they are sure
[00:06:44] corridor. Okay, and I also find an opportunity
[00:06:48] to ask you about the Islamic Naval Alliance that
[00:06:51] Saudi Arabia signed
[00:06:55] countries. Can it play a role
[00:07:00] coastal strip to
[00:07:04] fight a battle against the Houthi militias? I believe
[00:07:07] that especially since these militias issued hostile statements
[00:07:11] to Saudi Arabia, in
[00:07:15] alliance is perhaps still
[00:07:18] working now or arranging a certain arrangement.
[00:07:21] I don't know the accuracy of this arrangement, but it will bear
[00:07:25] fruit soon. Yes. Okay, Major General, where do you
[00:07:29] see things going with the Houthi militias in light
[00:07:33] of all these facts, and you are an official, I
[00:07:36] am well aware that you know
[00:07:39] many details. Where are things going? Things
[00:07:43] are going regarding the Houthi militia towards
[00:07:46] expelling
[00:07:49] dangerous entity from this region first
[00:07:53] from the world, and then I imagine
[00:07:57] that we are perhaps heading towards
[00:07:59] a truly resounding fall of these militias, and the movements have begun
[00:08:03] in the governorates, and this bad
[00:08:06] feeling among the people is perhaps what will ignite the situation in
[00:08:10] all governorates of the Republic. Yes, regarding the talk, let me also return
[00:08:14] again to the field and ask about the most prominent
[00:08:17] fronts
[00:08:19] clashing with the Houthi militias. Where are the most prominent of these
[00:08:22] battles taking place today? Perhaps the strongest is currently
[00:08:26] taking place in the heights of Kahboob, Al-Waziyah,
[00:08:29] and Al-Kadaha, as a fierce and decisive battle,
[00:08:33] and God willing, our forces will, God willing,
[00:08:35] achieve victory in these fronts. Also
[00:08:41] the Eastern Balq, which is closer to Marib Governorate, fierce battles
[00:08:45] are also raging and have not stopped until this moment. As I told you, they have attacked
[00:08:49] more than five times, and God willing, they will be defeated
[00:08:52] even after 20 attacks, and this group will end and be defeated. They
[00:08:56] brought people, and until now they have not been able to answer
[00:09:00] the question, "Where are our children?" Now in Sana'a, they ask, "Where are our children?"
[00:09:05] battle. They are in the deserts and valleys, scattered,
[00:09:08] eaten by wild animals. Yes, okay,
[00:09:11] what about the news that
[00:09:15] about the recapture of many mountains
[00:09:18] and strategic points in Kahboob and also
[00:09:22] this extended front in that
[00:09:23] region, Al-Waziyah, Al-Kadaha,
[00:09:26] Al-Madaraba district? I told you, and I still follow, that
[00:09:29] the battle is ongoing until this moment. They also tried
[00:09:33] to climb Jabal Ghurardad, which is a strategic
[00:09:36] and important mountain in the Shamateen region, and I believe that
[00:09:40] they were strongly repelled, and I believe that, God willing,
[00:09:43] they will not reach it. Yes. Okay, I
[00:09:46] have probably finished all my questions,
[00:09:50] but I also want to reassure the people who are following
[00:09:53] today with passion and also
[00:09:56] with great care all the battles
[00:10:00] that are taking place today. What do we say
[00:10:03] to these people who are feeling anxious
[00:10:06] and wishing today, before tomorrow, to regain
[00:10:09] every inch from the Houthi militias?
[00:10:13] I first address a message
[00:10:16] May God guide your aim, and God willing,
[00:10:20] you will be victorious, and you are the crown on our heads.
[00:10:23] And I address the entire Yemeni people: You must trust
[00:10:27] your state, you must trust your government,
[00:10:30] you must trust your army, and you must
[00:10:33] support this army. And I receive news from
[00:10:36] inside Taiz governorate and from Marib and from everywhere that
[00:10:39] people are supporting the movement of the armed
[00:10:43] forces and also the movement of the army with all their
[00:10:47] might, despite the difficult economic
[00:10:49] conditions. The morale of
[00:10:52] the fronts, and they will not return unless, as I told you in the beginning, we either
[00:10:56] win or die. And this is what, God willing,
[00:10:59] will achieve victory, and we will reach what we want. And also,
[00:11:03] my brothers and our people in the areas controlled by the Houthis,
[00:11:06] take your children away from the death traps. By God,
[00:11:11] the trenches. They are not in the trenches. Wild animals are eating them.
[00:11:15] So, stop sending your sons
[00:11:17] and children to these death traps, because it is a losing
[00:11:21] battle and an unfair battle. And we want to return to a stable,
[00:11:25] democratic state that unites people and lets them live as they
[00:11:29] used to live, instead of this hardship that they are currently experiencing under
[00:11:32] the Houthis. These are my messages to all of them, and I hope, God willing,
[00:11:36] at the end of our meeting, that God Almighty
[00:11:39] will grant us goodness, and we
[00:11:42] trust our children in the armed forces and in
[00:11:45] all popular resistances on all
[00:11:48] fronts, and we will be victorious, God willing. Also, I
[00:11:51] want you to give warnings to those
[00:11:55] who are in
[00:11:58] the battle and managing the battle and taking photos
[00:12:01] and posting videos. What
[00:12:05] are the warnings that should be
[00:12:08] followed by those
[00:12:11] the front or the citizen who is keen on every member of the
[00:12:14] armed forces? What else should we tell these
[00:12:18] people? What are the warnings? There is always something called military security in combat,
[00:12:21] and military security usually consists of a group
[00:12:25] of fighters
[00:12:27] responsible as a media apparatus managing
[00:12:31] these battles.
[00:12:35] now that they are affected by not carrying
[00:12:37] Android
[00:12:41] Absolutely not. Originally, the military,
[00:12:45] officers, or commanders should not use them,
[00:12:48] but rather use ordinary communications
[00:12:50] that do not have Android or
[00:12:55] photography methods. Let photography and management of this battle be left to
[00:12:59] a fighting team with you called the battle management team
[00:13:03] and military media. This is who manages
[00:13:06] this, because this sometimes greatly serves the enemy.
[00:13:10] I mean, we achieve a certain goal,
[00:13:13] then we photograph it, and the enemy takes
[00:13:16] its coordinates and sends mortar shells and artillery shells to these
[00:13:19] areas, so we lose. Now, praise be to God, awareness has begun,
[00:13:23] and people have started to understand. And they realize that you cannot photograph an area that is
[00:13:26] still in battle. Okay, the national role that
[00:13:30] citizens should play. The citizen is a security
[00:13:33] man and an army man, even if he is in his shop
[00:13:37] or in his factory, and I truly saw that most
[00:13:40] governorates have started to wake up, and many cells
[00:13:43] that infiltrated into cities to spread chaos and unrest were arrested.
[00:13:46] And this indicates the awareness of the people and indicates that the battle management
[00:13:50] is no longer just the army's management, but the management of the
[00:13:54] army and citizens and all the people of the country. They must
[00:13:58] manage the battle
[00:15:20] the heroic martyrs and valiant
[00:15:23] revolutionaries. Peace, greetings,
[00:15:26] reverence, and honor upon those few free
[00:15:30] officers who fought against the imamate
[00:15:33] and the priesthood and sacrificed their lives
[00:15:36] to end the eras of darkness, so that the people may
[00:15:40] enjoy the dawn of a bright new
[00:15:43] day on the morning of Thursday, the
[00:15:46] 26th of September 1962.
[00:16:02] A banner with three colors, topped by the blood of martyrs,
[00:16:05] and in its center, the color of peace, whose price was paid in advance. And finally,
[00:16:08] a blackness like your blackness, your injustice, and your oppression. It will flutter as if
[00:16:12] it is saluting us with respect, and we will recite the national anthem before it,
[00:16:16] then we will recite the opening of the Quran for the souls of the martyrs. Ayub
[00:16:19] Qarish will sing, and shout for the people, for the people are first who love,
[00:16:23] for the people are first who love. Long
[00:16:26] live the people, long live the people! We will strive for justice to succeed
[00:16:30] your injustice, and humility to succeed your arrogance, and education to erase
[00:16:34] your ignorance. We will shelter those you displaced. We will plant ten
[00:16:36] trees for every mine you planted. We will caress the head
[00:16:40] of every murmuring child. And finally, O our loved ones and the oppressed,
[00:16:43] we will bring you victory, and we will not care if we do not share the celebration
[00:16:47] here. Here, every believing
[00:16:50] conscience, you are a mihrab for it. O
[00:16:54] my homeland,
[00:16:57] and here our stature will not bow.
[00:17:00] No stature will bow to anyone
[00:17:03] but Yemen.
[00:17:06] Yes, O steadfast Republican
[00:17:09] fighter, O honest, courageous, generous one,
[00:17:13] war has its rounds and assaults, and woes
[00:17:17] and endings. And here, there is no end except for the hordes
[00:17:21] of the Houthi coup gangs at your
[00:17:24] hands. And with the resolution of the previous round
[00:17:28] with the defeat of the aggressors and their destruction
[00:17:30] and humiliation, they return again,
[00:17:34] mobilizing the helpless herd.
[00:17:37] And they repeat attempts here and there, and
[00:17:41] each time they choose a goal
[00:17:44] and a creative title, and they take a different
[00:17:48] path, but they
[00:17:51] find it thorny and blazing.
[00:17:54] Is there more?
[00:19:07] with light and a free people, the Republic,
[00:19:10] for the palaces of glory it stands, for the palaces
[00:19:14] of glory it stood.
[00:19:16] With the victorious national army and resistance
[00:19:20] like a hurricane against imams
[00:19:22] and colonialism, the brave eagle did not
[00:19:25] return. With the valiant national army and resistance
[00:19:29] like a hurricane against imams and colonialism,
[00:19:33] the brave eagle did not return. Yemen with revolutions.
[00:19:53] With blood, martyrs sacrifice themselves so that it may live
[00:19:57] in glory and peace. With blood, martyrs
[00:20:00] sacrifice themselves so that it may live in glory and peace.
[00:20:03] Yemen, in revolutions, it rises above. So many
[00:20:06] occupiers and imams.
[00:20:33] If the principle and meaning fall, everything
[00:20:36] will be taken from us. With faith, souls
[00:20:39] are built to erase falsehood and darkness, to erase
[00:20:43] falsehood and darkness.
[00:20:46] O martyrs, you are the pride of the nation, and you
[00:20:49] are the banner for knowledge. And with you, the feast of victory
[00:20:52] shines, so let us present a medal of pride. O martyrs, you are the pride
[00:20:56] of the nation, you are the banner for knowledge,
[00:21:00] and with you, the feast of victory shines,
[00:21:03] so let us present a medal of pride. Yemen with revolutions,
[00:21:06] it rises above, occupiers
[00:21:09] and imams. Yemen with revolutions,
[00:21:12] it rises above, so many occupiers
[00:21:15] and imams. Yemen for revolutions,
[00:21:19] it rises above, no matter
[00:21:39] how much the Houthis cause chaos and commit crimes, and the Yemeni
[00:21:42] people suffer. The spirit of our revolution has roared,
[00:21:45] driving away from the homeland the divisions, driving away from the homeland
[00:21:50] the divisions. The spirit of revolution in
[00:21:53] our homelands runs like blood in the veins,
[00:21:57] and Taiz is the highest title that taught the generation
[00:22:00] courage. The spirit of revolution in our homelands
[00:22:05] the veins, and Taiz is the highest title
[00:22:09] that taught the generation courage.
[00:22:11] Yemen for revolutions, it rises above, occupiers
[00:22:15] and imams.
[00:22:18] With revolutions, it rises above.
[00:23:07] The homeland
[00:23:08] is God.
[00:23:14] The homeland
[00:23:14] is more precious.
[00:23:22] The homeland
[00:23:22] is more precious.
[00:23:30] The homeland
[00:23:30] is more precious.
[00:23:37] The homeland
[00:23:37] is more precious.
[00:23:44] The homeland
[00:23:45] is more precious.

[00:27:00] And in pride,
[00:27:03] it heals wounds on a glorious day
[00:27:07] that defeats enemies.
[00:27:09] They want to plant darkness
[00:27:13] in the land, and it is far-fetched that
[00:27:16] they will succeed
[00:27:18] Because my light illuminates,
[00:27:22] because I am Yemeni
[00:27:25] and you are my homeland. Because
[00:27:28] my light illuminates. Because I am Yemeni
[00:27:33] and you are my homeland.
[00:27:36] Because I am Yemeni and you
[00:27:39] are my homeland.
[00:27:40] On the September covenant,
[00:27:43] O my homeland, with spirit and light
[00:27:46] in my blood and dedication. On the September covenant,
[00:27:50] O my homeland, with my spirit
[00:27:53] and my beating heart,
[00:27:56] and my dedication.
[00:28:00] My
[00:28:35] eye is Yemen, I don't give
[00:28:41] one touches my eye, Yemen. I don't give
[00:28:45] myself to anyone. A beautiful
[00:28:48] history is written,
[00:28:51] and in my heart is the revolution of September,
[00:28:54] the dawn of the twenty-sixth.
[00:28:58] No one belongs to my eye, Yemen. I don't give
[00:29:01] myself to anyone.
[00:29:04] No one touches my eye, Yemen. I don't give
[00:29:08] myself to anyone. With my blood,
[00:29:12] history is written,
[00:29:14] and in my heart is the revolution of September,
[00:29:18] the dawn of the twenty-sixth,
[00:29:21] the dawn of the
[00:29:23] twenty-sixth.
[00:29:55] It is a day that extinguished its darkness,
[00:29:58] tore apart tyrants and imams.
[00:30:01] And it is a day of resurrection
[00:30:04] and life for Yemenis.
[00:30:08] From the sound of freedom
[00:30:11] and its cries,
[00:30:13] the Republic will not accept in the homeland
[00:30:17] a low life or a cave, and the land
[00:30:20] is an arena. It will not accept in the homeland
[00:30:24] a low life or a cave, and the land
[00:30:30] My eye
[00:30:33] is Yemen, I don't give myself to anyone. No
[00:30:37] one touches my eye, Yemen. I don't give
[00:30:40] myself to anyone. With my blood,
[00:30:44] history is written,
[00:30:46] and in my heart is the revolution of September,
[00:30:50] the dawn of the twenty-sixth, the dawn
