00:14:23that Marib governorate has been and will remain
00:14:27impregnable to the Houthi terrorist militia thanks to the steadfastness of its people,
00:14:31tribes, armed forces, security forces, and popular
00:14:35resistance. Major General Thawaba affirmed the continuation
00:14:38of the armed forces in their battle until all areas under the control
00:14:42of the Houthi terrorist militia are liberated and state institutions
00:14:45are restored. Today, Marib is not
00:14:49the Marib of yesterday. The Marib of yesterday was defending. The Marib of today
00:14:53is attacking, and its eyes are on Sanaa, God willing.
00:14:56Four or five days ago, there was an attack
00:15:00by the Houthis, and our heroes
00:15:04they will not forget, between captured,
00:15:08killed, and wounded.
00:15:10Even their prisoners were between us and the front
00:15:13lines. We tried,
00:15:17out of humanity, to take them
00:15:20for medical treatment, but they prevented us with their
00:15:25wounded close to the enemy's front lines.
00:15:28By God, they did not deal with them or take them to treat them.
00:15:32These are elements who have no
00:15:35religion or morals, neither in war nor in peace. This is
00:15:39their dealing. The valley is filled with Houthi corpses now,
00:15:42and you can see some footage
00:15:46and pictures. You can go to the front line and see them
00:15:49with your own eyes, many corpses, in the tens, even hundreds,
00:15:53and they left them to their fate.
00:15:56More than a decade has passed since the Houthi
00:16:00terrorist militia's coup against state institutions. A catastrophe
00:16:03that left a lot of destruction, war, and economic
00:16:06collapse. For more details,
00:16:10September 20,
00:16:122014, marked the beginning of a long
00:16:16path of war, division, and the erosion of state
00:16:19institutions, when the Houthi militia turned its weapons against
00:16:23the state and the republic after
00:16:25years of armed expansion that exploited the fragility of the transitional
00:16:29phase and the conflicts of political forces, after which
00:16:33the country entered a tragic stage.
00:16:36The state and society
00:16:40together paid a heavy price. 11 years of catastrophe
00:16:44were enough to change the features of the country through
00:16:47an absurd war. Whenever the regional and international
00:16:51community tried to extinguish its spark, the coup
00:16:54militias ignited it, tearing the country apart,
00:16:57weakening the economy, and expanding the circle of poverty
00:17:01and displacement. The overall result is the decline
00:17:05of state institutions after they were plundered
00:17:08and transformed into
00:17:12against citizens in areas under the coup's control.
00:17:15Destruction has affected everything, and it has not stopped
00:17:18at politics and economy. The social fabric itself
00:17:22has been subjected to deep pressures, with the escalation
00:17:25of sectarian and regional discourse, and the emergence
00:17:28of practices that reproduced discrimination based on
00:17:32lineage and affiliation, and imposed sectarianism
00:17:36and ideology by force of arms. With the continuation of the war
00:17:39and its repercussions, the country
00:17:43to the unknown at a time when Yemenis were
00:17:46searching for a stable and secure state,
00:17:50which was carried by the outcomes of the National
00:17:52Dialogue and the dream of a modern federal state.
00:17:55A dream that the Houthi coup plotters
00:17:59turned into a great tragedy, awaiting an exit
00:18:01towards restoring the state, rebuilding society,
00:18:05and restoring confidence in a better future after
00:18:09a decade of war and division. This
00:18:12is the outcome of September 21, a crisis that extended
00:18:15to humanity, land, economy, and identity,
00:18:19and the exit from it remains contingent on ending the Houthi
00:18:23terrorist coup and restoring state institutions and opening
00:18:26the way for millions of Yemenis to build
00:18:30a future that accommodates
00:18:32everyone.
00:18:34The Executive Unit for Displaced Persons

00:18:42in the Western Coast to about 247,000

00:19:12agencies, international and local organizations, and donors
00:19:15to provide life-saving interventions for most
00:19:19displaced families who are living in difficult
00:19:22living conditions due to the sudden loss of homes, livelihoods,
00:19:26and possessions, especially in the sectors
00:19:29of shelter, food, water, sanitation,
00:19:32health services,
00:19:34and protection.

00:19:44ordnance, and improvised explosive devices, recording

00:19:55room stated that the project's teams cleared 387
00:19:58mines, unexploded
00:20:00ordnance, and improvised

00:20:28For those
00:20:31who missed the details of the bulletin, here is a reminder
00:20:34of the main headlines.
00:20:40Member of the Leadership Council, Sultan Al-Aradah, discusses with the British Ambassador
00:20:44developments in the national scene and the repercussions
00:20:46of events.
00:20:52Our country strongly condemns the Houthi attacks on cities
00:20:56and Saudi civilian objects and the attempt to target
00:20:59Riyadh.

00:21:08terrorist militia in Al-Bayda Governorate.
00:21:19End of the bulletin. Thank you for watching and goodbye.
00:23:37While leaving my house,
00:23:41the children. I was surprised by a civilian
00:23:45car with five
00:23:48armed men. I recognized some of them who worked with
00:23:52the Houthi supervisor in the Madhbah area. I was immediately taken,
00:23:55and my eyes were tied with
00:23:57the known scarf or Yemeni shawl.
00:24:01They tied my eyes and took me directly.
00:24:04I discovered that they did not go to the Madhbah police station.
00:24:08It was as if they took me to an open area, that's what I estimated because my eyes
00:24:11were blindfolded. From about 10 AM to
00:24:152 PM, they left me in an area that seemed like a sunny area,
00:24:18and I was alone inside the car. What
00:24:20I understood, I don't know what was
00:24:24required. It was a moment of silence.
00:24:27Then, they immediately started the car
00:24:31and drove me away. I discovered that they took me to the
00:24:34Ghadairi police station in the western part of the capital secretariat.
00:24:54cell in that area, and I remained there for almost six days.
00:25:41Of course, due to my specialization, I study Sharia and Law, and I completed my Sharia
00:25:44and Law studies.
00:25:46I asked them to go to the public prosecution office. Was there a complaint
00:25:50against me? What was the charge? I was surprised
00:25:53that on approximately the 5th of Ramadan, it was a Wednesday,
00:25:56they took me out in the afternoon into a Hilux and blindfolded
00:26:00me. The time was between Asr
00:26:03and Maghrib prayers. We were preparing for iftar.
00:26:07I mean, I was trying to get myself ready
00:26:10for iftar. They took me directly.
00:26:14Approximately, for a distance of two to three
00:26:17hours,
00:26:20and my eyes were covered. I didn't know exactly where they took me,
00:26:23but I later discovered that I was in, they took me to
00:26:26a house with a basement.
00:26:29I waited until perhaps 1 AM. It was approximately
00:26:33that time.
00:26:36And in this place, I didn't
00:26:39came to me there. I tried to knock
00:26:43on the door.
00:26:44I yelled. I spoke. No one was there.
00:27:02The summoning and interrogation began. They brought me in and took me out immediately,
00:27:06and of course, my eyes were blindfolded. The
00:27:10interrogation would last from 12 AM to 4 AM.
00:27:13The entire interrogation was conducted while I was suspended, and my eyes
00:27:16were tied. And a tie
00:27:20made of this strong, harsh nylon, meaning
00:27:23that my ears and eyes swelled.
00:27:27And with the long period of suspension, 13
00:27:30days, my body also swelled.
00:27:35Perhaps three days after the suspension, I fell into a coma.
00:27:38I didn't feel like I was
00:27:40there.
00:27:46There were questions that came that, in reality, I couldn't deal
00:27:50with, or how one could respond to them.
00:27:55interrogation, every day, sometimes they would ask me one question in the same
00:27:59night. Meaning
00:28:01that they were doing it deliberately, and I used to ask the interrogator, "Why? What exactly
00:28:05do you want from me?"
00:28:06As
00:28:13the interrogator said, "You are wanted dead.
00:28:17You will die hanging like that." He used to say that to me.
00:28:33days of hanging. I fell directly to the ground for almost
00:28:35two weeks.
00:28:42Of course, I stopped speaking during this period because I couldn't
00:28:46speak anymore. And I stopped eating because, in fact,
00:28:49I couldn't eat. So I only consumed water during
00:28:53this phase,
00:28:55to the point that I felt death during this phase, or rather, death
00:28:59was the only way I could live through this phase.
00:29:04I was summoned by an interrogating officer who told me, "You have
00:29:07no charges against you." "Therefore, write
00:29:10a letter to whomever it may concern that you are
00:29:14to be released." After I wrote the paper
00:29:17and appealed for my release, they told me, "It's done, you are
00:29:21released." A man with a small bus came.
00:29:24Of course, my eyes were blindfolded, and they took me out.
00:29:27on your release," and went directly to
00:29:30the political security prison.
00:30:45in political security, after the electricity and torture by electricity.
