00:23:14slogans with words that carried clear
00:23:18national connotations. From inside a school yard, their
00:23:21voices rose in the name of Yemen against the Houthi militia.
00:23:25To the details. In
00:23:28a striking scene that received wide interaction,
00:23:31the courtyard of one of the schools under
00:23:34the control of the Houthi militia turned into a space
00:23:37for expressing adherence to national identity and rejecting
00:23:40imposed slogans. A circulating
00:23:43video showed a Houthi supervisor demanding
00:23:46female students of one of the schools to repeat the slogan,
00:24:20which observers considered an expression of the younger generations' adherence
00:24:23to national identity and rejection of attempts to impose slogans and ideological
00:24:27ideas within educational institutions, while
00:24:31others saw it as a message of hope confirming that
00:24:34the will of Yemenis is still capable of expressing itself
00:24:37despite the challenges. This incident reflects an aspect of the growing
00:24:41rejection of the Houthi militia's practices
00:24:45and its attempts to impose
00:24:48male and female students. It also confirms the presence of the Yemeni
00:24:51identity in the consciousness of the new generations despite years
00:24:55of war and intellectual mobilization. The words
00:24:58may seem simple, but their impact transcended the limits of a fleeting
00:25:02school chant. From inside a school
00:25:04yard, the voices of female students
00:25:07echoed with a message that summarized a wide Yemeni dream:
00:25:11a homeland restored, a state returned,
00:25:14and a future that its people look forward to, far from
00:25:18the coup and the militias.
00:25:20While the militia sought to impose its slogans, the female
00:25:23students chose to raise their voices in the name of Yemen in a scene
00:25:27considered by many as evidence that the national identity
00:25:32the conscience, and that the hope for a future based
00:25:36on the state and citizenship has not faded despite
00:25:40the challenges imposed by years of war
00:25:43and the coup. The news
00:25:47is over. A reminder of the main headlines:
