[00:00:05] its needs of a project that relies [00:00:14] that is today issued from [00:00:17] about [00:00:19] and keep them with them, not [00:00:21] to push them to [00:00:27] it, Beirut. But this what happened in [00:00:32] being drawn behind this [00:00:43] right to [00:00:58] loyal brothers in one defensive line. We can say the battle in [00:01:03] there. In your opinion, what [00:01:09] criminals who do not but it cannot [00:01:17] to stop attacks on tell you that perhaps this [00:01:34] fighters buried on the walls of Ma'rib, [00:01:41] who were killed on the walls [00:01:45] forget this the Iranians, in the of Ma'rib, and leaders from [00:02:01] Khalid International Airport in [00:02:33] moment is that even in [00:02:34] the last speech of [00:02:48] Yemen. [00:03:05] are in the [00:03:14] Rashad, this [00:03:27] Why, but this [00:03:37] were successive statements from [00:04:30] The Houthi [00:04:31] tens of thousands of coup militias launched a violent attack on [00:04:35] our positions, but they found men [00:04:38] whose dignity was high and elevated, who confronted them [00:04:41] with all bravery and capability. There [00:04:46] end until this were many casualties [00:04:47] homeland is rid of among them. They were forced [00:04:50] to withdraw and retreat. [00:04:54] We thank all our heroes in the positions [00:04:57] and all the men who resisted the militias, whether in Al-Kanab [00:05:01] or in Jabal Al-Habashi or anywhere else where the [00:05:04] Houthi militias are resisted. We also address our urgent appeal [00:05:08] to the leadership of the state [00:05:10] and the government [00:05:12] to take exceptional measures to support Taiz [00:05:16] and secure food, medicine, [00:05:20] and fuel, and support its hospitals [00:05:23] and vital facilities, and mobilize [00:05:25] national efforts and resources necessary to protect its residents [00:05:29] and lift the unjust Houthi siege [00:05:32] on it. We also call on our brothers in the local [00:05:36] authorities in various [00:05:38] governorates, businessmen, chambers of [00:05:41] commerce, and civil society organizations [00:05:43] to launch a national solidarity [00:05:46] campaign and organize wide [00:05:50] and urgent relief convoys [00:05:53] to embody the unity of destiny and national [00:05:57] responsibility towards millions [00:05:59] of citizens who are facing [00:06:02] the repercussions of this catastrophe created by the Houthi [00:06:06] militias. We also appeal to our [00:06:11] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the [00:06:14] Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the United [00:06:17] Nations, the Security Council, [00:06:20] and international humanitarian and human rights [00:06:23] organizations to extend a helping hand [00:06:26] and take urgent action [00:06:29] civilians, lift the siege, and secure [00:06:33] safe humanitarian [00:06:35] corridors. [00:07:23] Allahu Akbar! Today, we bid farewell [00:07:27] to the heroic brother, the martyr [00:07:30] Muath Al-Qarnah, [00:07:33] the courageous man who was at the forefront [00:07:36] of the ranks, and there was no front without him [00:07:40] being at the forefront of the ranks. A man. A man [00:07:43] who was an example and was the first [00:07:46] leader of the 167th [00:07:49] Brigade, and there was no battle without him being at [00:07:53] the forefront of the ranks, and a man who was distinguished [00:07:56] by his idealism and military discipline. There was [00:08:00] no front from Al-Khaniq to Salb, [00:08:03] to Al-Fardha, to [00:08:06] Ragwan, [00:08:08] and no front of the legitimacy without him [00:08:12] participating in it. Today, we bid farewell to a hero of the Battle of [00:08:16] Yemen Dawn, the heroic martyr Captain Muath Al-Qarnah, [00:08:20] who was martyred while defending his religion, his homeland, [00:08:23] and his dignity in confronting the Houthi [00:08:27] terrorist militia in the fronts of honor and heroism. [00:08:30] The hero Al-Qarnah departed today after [00:08:34] he recorded heroic positions. [00:08:37] He kept moving from one front to another while confronting the [00:08:40] priestly militia, and he fulfilled his duty [00:08:44] to the fullest. From here, and from where [00:08:46] thousands of righteous martyrs lie, who sacrificed [00:08:50] their lives for the sake of religion, homeland, republic, and revolution, [00:08:54] we confirm that our battle with the militia, with [00:08:58] the entire lineage, [00:09:00] he kept moving from one front to another while confronting the [00:09:04] priestly militia, and he fulfilled his duty [00:09:07] to the fullest. From here, and from where [00:09:10] thousands of righteous martyrs lie, who sacrificed [00:09:13] their lives for the sake of religion, homeland, republic, and revolution, [00:09:17] we confirm that our battle with the militia, with [00:09:21] the lineage, with the lineage, that these [00:09:25] martyrs are the ones who will unite [00:09:28] the ranks and they are the ones who will unite this Yemeni nation [00:09:31] so that it can seize [00:09:34] control. [00:09:38] We came here today to declare [00:09:41] our full support for the decisions of His Excellency the President of the Presidential Leadership [00:09:45] Council, Dr. Rashad Mohammed [00:09:47] Al-Alimi, the decision of mobilization [00:09:50] and the decision of Operation Yemen [00:09:53] Dawn, the operation that, God willing, will not [00:10:00] the terrorist Houthi organization and every [00:10:04] inch of it is liberated. In my name here and the name of the tribe of Bani [00:10:07] Al-Harith, we thank the Kingdom of [00:10:10] Saudi Arabia, its [00:10:13] king and people, for standing [00:10:17] by the decisions of the President of the Presidential Leadership Council [00:10:20] and standing by the Yemeni armed forces and the Yemeni [00:10:23] people. Our meeting [00:10:27] is for the liberation of Yemen, and God willing, God willing, [00:10:31] we are going to Sana'a, and [00:10:33] I tell our brothers who are under [00:10:37] the Houthi militias [00:10:41] to stop their sons [00:10:46] the Houthis to drag them to death [00:10:50] and to the holocaust. So let them join us. We [00:10:53] are coming. We are coming. We say on this day [00:10:56] that we will not retreat from [00:10:59] our institutions and from liberating our land [00:11:02] entirely, from Taiz to Hodeidah, to Sana'a, [00:11:05] to Taiz, to Amran, and that in [00:11:08] our message today, we say [00:11:11] to our friends, the tribes of Bani Hashish specifically, [00:11:15] and the tribes of Yemen in general, not to sacrifice [00:11:18] your sons with these people, for this is a battle [00:11:22] of salvation, and they are in their last days. [00:11:25] So we say, protect [00:11:28] your sons and do not sacrifice them [00:11:31] with these [00:11:34] respect the Yemeni people at all, nor [00:11:38] any covenant. In response to the call of the President and Commander, [00:11:41] may God protect him, for general mobilization and to reclaim [00:11:45] state institutions and [00:11:49] to reclaim Yemeni lands from the hands of the Persian [00:11:52] Iranian gang. [00:11:56] We also extend our deep gratitude to the Saudi people [00:11:59] represented [00:12:03] by their king and crown prince, and we tell them [00:12:06] that the security of the Kingdom is the security of Yemen, and we will not [00:12:10] favor and what you have given us for the rest [00:12:14] of our lives. You have our sincere thanks and appreciation. [00:12:18] We condemn and denounce [00:12:21] the attacks of the Persian occupation militia on King [00:12:26] Riyadh, and we call [00:12:30] on the Yemeni and Arab media to strip [00:12:33] the Houthi Yemeni nationality and the Hashemite [00:12:36] Arab nationality from the offspring of Yemen, [00:12:39] the Tabareen, for they disguise themselves with the Hashemite [00:12:42] turban and the Houthi Yemeni dress to deceive [00:12:46] our people. And a second message we address to our great [00:12:49] people who are under the control [00:12:52] of the terrorist Persian occupation militia. We say [00:12:55] to them, we are fighting [00:12:58] for you, and we have no enemies [00:13:01] except these Persians who have settled [00:13:04] our land and occupied our capital. [00:14:12] Welcome. Let's talk today about these [00:14:15] issues and these questions that we have heard. Welcome. First, [00:14:19] I salute you and I salute [00:14:23] my mustache and I say on this [00:14:26] occasion, September and October, glorious. [00:14:30] Yes, Sir Rashad, I will start from where you are, this introduction [00:14:33] about the national battle today. What do the fronts [00:14:37] say today, and what has changed from previous [00:14:40] stages? I can tell you [00:14:43] that today the national army, [00:14:46] with its various military operations, is fighting [00:14:50] the battle of the Republic. [00:14:53] It is fighting the battle of September and October, [00:14:56] the two great ones. Today, this is a battle [00:15:00] of existence, and it is a sacred national [00:15:02] battle. Today, the situation has changed completely. [00:15:06] I can tell you that through the unification [00:15:09] of military decision-making, [00:15:12] also [00:15:14] the specialized cadres that the armed forces [00:15:18] have dealt with in military formations, [00:15:21] the entry of new weapons, [00:15:25] combat aircraft, and also [00:15:28] reconnaissance aircraft and modern weapons. Also, [00:15:31] perhaps you will see them in the coming [00:15:34] days. Today, the ordinary [00:15:37] by that [00:15:44] citizen should not be deceived [00:15:46] propaganda and that misleading media trap [00:15:52] the circles [00:15:54] and kitchens of the Houthi militia, or in Dahiyeh [00:15:58] Dairbieh, or in Baghdad, or in [00:16:01] Tehran, that [00:16:04] the Western Coast was a 19-hour battle. [00:16:08] On the contrary, it was perhaps [00:16:11] a departure, unfortunately, [00:16:14] for reasons that we will perhaps [00:16:17] not mention now, but will be mentioned [00:16:21] in history and also for investigation. There was a true [00:16:24] collapse that happened, [00:16:27] and the Houthi militia was able [00:16:29] to penetrate more than one district, reaching [00:16:33] from Al-Khawkhah to [00:16:36] Hays to Al-Mokha to Dubar, [00:16:40] and seized strategic islands, [00:16:44] establish itself, it cannot [00:16:47] control it yet, and I can [00:16:51] military perspective and strategic trap [00:16:54] is [00:16:58] the Houthi militia pushing its forces [00:17:00] and its power into the various fronts of Taiz [00:17:04] or on the Western Coast, and this will be [00:17:08] yes, meaning and we are here today in [00:17:11] Ma'rib, and Ma'rib, almost [00:17:15] we heard in the past days more about this [00:17:18] which we are leading, we, [00:17:22] region about them, meaning [00:17:26] Ma'rib, and a lot of talk about Ma'rib, and always mentioning that [00:17:29] hundred times in their newspapers. [00:17:32] In your opinion, how is the experience here in Ma'rib [00:17:35] progressing, and what is the significance of the convergence between [00:17:39] society and the armed forces in returning [00:17:43] to Ma'rib and its surroundings? This [00:17:46] land, with its tribes, [00:17:50] its political parties, its civil society, [00:17:53] its authority, [00:17:58] and all the structures that formed [00:18:02] the administration, especially the battles since the first [00:18:05] moment, have achieved. [00:18:17] After 2019, 2020, [00:18:20] and 2021, [00:18:22] until [00:18:24] March 2020, [00:18:28] I can tell you that it faced the entire Iranian [00:18:31] axis. When I spoke about those [00:18:35] battles, Iran was at the peak of its power, [00:18:39] Hezbollah was at the peak of its power, the Syrian [00:18:41] regime, [00:18:43] the defunct one, [00:18:47] the stationed one, and at the peak of its power. [00:18:49] Also, Iraq and the Iraqi [00:18:53] point and Iraqi workers on the hour [00:18:56] reinforced [00:18:58] Iran. Many [00:19:02] leaders and fighters from Hezbollah and [00:19:05] the Iraqi Hashd [00:19:07] and the experts of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard [00:19:10] were leading these Houthi militias, and there [00:19:15] the southern suburb to Tehran [00:19:18] to Damascus during the defunct [00:19:21] regime that after Ma'rib [00:19:24] it will have consequences, and it will reshape [00:19:27] the map of the region after the battle [00:19:30] of Ma'rib. But Ma'rib stood firm, Ma'rib [00:19:34] had a military fortress and a military leadership. [00:19:45] I can say that thousands [00:19:49] were buried at the walls of Ma'rib. [00:19:52] The militias [00:19:55] probably faced during [00:19:58] this important period more than 100 attacks, [00:20:02] and a major attack on the various fronts of Ma'rib, [00:20:06] whether in the northern axis [00:20:08] or the northwestern axis, or the [00:20:12] western axis, or the southern axis. There were [00:20:15] human waves around the clock, and it was more than [00:20:19] a number of fronts in a day, by the number [00:20:21] of days. However, they were also, and [00:20:25] I can tell you that Iran and the militia [00:20:28] have deployed their military formations, [00:20:32] the death battalions, the Quds battalions, [00:20:35] the rapid intervention [00:20:37] battalions, meaning [00:20:41] the trained and ideological fighters, all on the walls of Ma'rib. I can [00:20:45] tell you that after this battle, Ma'rib [00:20:49] killed at the local, [00:20:53] regional, and international levels. We received American [00:20:56] and French statements that the Houthi militia [00:21:00] and its allies failed in that. Of course, when we talk about the Iranian axis, [00:21:04] the axis of chaos, which has always [00:21:07] boasted during that period that it brought down Damascus [00:21:11] and brought down Baghdad and brought down Sana'a, the fourth [00:21:14] capital, and before [00:21:17] project was thwarted at the walls of Ma'rib [00:21:20] thanks [00:21:22] to perseverance and thanks to the high fighting spirit and great [00:21:26] morale of the armed [00:21:28] forces, and also the social incubator [00:21:32] which also formed a strong supporter for reinforcing [00:21:35] the battle. Militarily, honestly, it was at [00:21:38] its peak. They formed more [00:21:41] than [00:21:45] first defensive line, the second defensive line, [00:21:49] the third [00:21:53] defensive line. Also, the force was strategically tactical and strategic in Ma'rib. Any [00:21:56] front that felt that it [00:22:00] was under greater pressure, even [00:22:04] until they were able to bury the militias, I'm talking about [00:22:07] hundreds of military vehicles buried on [00:22:10] the walls of Ma'rib. And this history [00:22:13] will also speak. More than 60,000 [00:22:17] killed, including about 6,000 [00:22:21] child [00:22:24] whom the militia pushed. Also, [00:22:27] there are leaders from Hezbollah [00:22:33] the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and from the Iraqi Hashd [00:22:36] al-Sha'abi. And the last of them was the one who [00:22:39] led and directed the battle to seize Ma'rib, [00:22:42] the deceased Hassan Eid, who was killed in [00:22:46] the southern Ma'rib front. [00:22:57] Thousands fell in this [00:23:00] front, which the militia [00:23:02] tried to [00:23:04] breach. Also, the rest of the defenses, [00:23:08] but it was buried, and Ma'rib emerged victorious, [00:23:11] and the commanders of this battle were killed, [00:23:14] led by Hassan, one of the leaders of Hezbollah. [00:23:17] The new thing [00:23:21] we mention at this [00:23:24] the [00:23:27] late Hassan Eid Qassem, in Hezbollah, [00:23:31] when he mourned his martyrs, he said they were nine [00:23:35] years old and he was in [00:23:38] What am I doing in Yemen? I am speaking to [00:23:41] leaders from the first rank, as well as several names [00:23:44] that perhaps at this moment, 90% [00:23:47] of them were mentioned on the tongue of Eid [00:23:51] Qassem, who said they [00:23:55] mountains in Ma'rib, but Ma'rib [00:23:58] buried them and buried the people and returned the spirit to the [00:24:02] Arab nation. Yes, Sir [00:24:04] dam that you mentioned, [00:24:08] and the evidence, and these heroic scenes, [00:24:11] and these achievements, [00:24:14] until when will that be? [00:24:17] model we try to make it a governorate [00:24:26] geographically. You [00:24:28] can [00:24:31] divide it into a geographical [00:24:34] area or in [00:24:38] a somewhat remote area. Ma'rib was a republican [00:24:41] project, a civilization project. Ma'rib embraced [00:24:45] all the people of Yemen, from all [00:24:48] governorates, from Saada. [00:24:52] I can prove that to you by your visit to [00:24:55] the Martyrs' Cemetery. It will show you [00:24:59] the Yemeni glory in this matter. [00:25:02] Ma'rib was [00:25:05] the incubator that welcomed all Yemenis [00:25:08] and gave them all, all [00:25:11] rights [00:25:14] and also duties. [00:25:17] Today, you have [00:25:21] people from Ma'rib living [00:25:24] with all their rights, also living as citizens [00:25:28] in every sense of the word. This [00:25:31] Ma'rib formed a model for the Republic, [00:25:34] a mini-model of the Yemeni Republic. [00:25:38] I can say that through it, the goals [00:25:41] of the September 26th and October 14th [00:25:44] revolutions were achieved in confronting [00:25:47] the corrupt [00:25:50] Imamate project, [00:25:53] which today raised its head, [00:25:56] unfortunately, after it brought down Sana'a [00:26:00] with its racist project, with its destructive [00:26:03] project, [00:26:05] on usurpation, [00:26:08] on the concept of divine right, [00:26:11] on a specific land, and through it, [00:26:14] it divides the Yemeni nation. We are talking [00:26:19] no more than 1% or 2%, but [00:26:22] unfortunately, ignorance in [00:26:25] some areas and in some [00:26:28] tribes [00:26:30] was the main factor in [00:26:34] project that even stripped them [00:26:38] of their humanity and stripped them [00:26:42] of their basic [00:26:46] citizenship. Revolutionary. [00:26:48] Yes, Sir Rashid, on this day, as we [00:26:51] live the heroic [00:26:57] Taiz, and what we saw [00:26:59] yesterday, and what has reached [00:27:02] is ongoing from the battles [00:27:06] can be read in between the fronts in [00:27:10] more than one place? [00:27:13] First, it refutes [00:27:16] the Houthi narrative and refutes [00:27:20] the Iranian Persian narrative and refutes [00:27:24] the narrative of the Iraqi factions [00:27:27] loyal to them now, and also [00:27:30] refutes. [00:27:45] We can talk about victory and not about.
