“The Promise of the Hereafter” messages: Yemen’s largest military parade (New weapons revealed)
Pictures of the parade included
The grand military parade, which was hosted in Al-Hodeidah Governorate, under the title “The Promise of the Hereafter”, represented a loud, surprising and unprecedented emergence in its size and quality of the new reality that Sanaa gradually built in the past eight years of steadfastness and preparation. This reality proves that the ambitions of colonialism, its money and its material power cannot destabilize or stop its acceleration.
The messages of the “Great Battle”
The name “Promise of the Hereafter” which was given to the military parade was more than just an attractive title, but was closer to a description of the political, military and cultural project it carries. The name was mentioned in the Quran, to express the inevitable defeat of the zionists. It was also mentioned to send many messages to the Israeli enemy, including a message that assures that the Israeli ambitions and dreams of controlling the western coast and Bab al-Mandab are not going to happen, which was clearly stated during the past years by the Israelis. The military parade displayed new qualitative weapons and specialized military formations to show readiness to fight and win the sea battle.
The matter does not stop here, as the “promise of the hereafter” is related to the comprehensive battle with the Zionist enemy, and the show was prepared to clearly show that the building of the Yemeni military force, including the naval force, is taking place on a level equivalent to the breadth and size of this comprehensive battle. The parade clearly shows Yemen’s new “project”, which shows the great hostility to the Zionists and the liberation from the tutelage of the West.
The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr Al-Houthi, has clearly emphasized that supporting the Palestinian cause is one of the main objectives of the process of building and developing the Yemeni army and its deterrent capabilities.
The “promise of the hereafter” messages come days after the armed forces sent a stern warning to the Israeli enemy against the backdrop of rumors that imply intentions to target the country, which means that the issue is not a matter of slogans, but rather of thoughtful political and military arrangements that are proven on-ground.
It seems that the Zionist enemy picked up these messages quickly, as the show drew the attention of some of its media immediately, and brought back talk of “risks” and “threats” to the fore there, and of course on the side of talking about the failure of the coalition of aggression and the negative consequences that resulted from that failure.
A new victorious force
In its details, the presentation of “The Promise of the Hereafter” sent many additional messages, starting with the fact that it comes within a series of huge and unprecedented parades. The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul Malik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, confirmed that it was prepared to reassure the Yemeni people, and to send a clear warning to the enemies, and the first part of this confirmation does not refer only to the combat situation, but to the new situation of Yemen as a rising power that overcomes the obstacles made by the aggression and siege, and made its way upwards towards achieving the goals of the renaissance project that was intended to destroy and abort it from the beginning, which means in other words: the inevitability of victory in the battle with the aggression.
“The Promise of the Hereafter” was the clearest embodiment of this “reassurance.” The large crowd and its various components, the discovery of qualitative weapons, the appearance of a large number of state and army leaders, the exceptional presence of the leader of the revolution, the timing, and the place of the show… all are important data when brought together that form a scene of a completely new reality. It is the reality of the defeat of the aggression and the fall of its “power” on which it relied to subjugate and frighten the Yemenis. This reality also shows Yemen’s sovereignty and independence, and the emergence of Yemen as a regional and international influence.
The speech of the Leader of the Revolution during the presentation clearly touched on this general level of achievement, especially his talk about the building of the Yemeni army, its doctrine, its comprehensive national project and its future transnational role, in addition to his talk about the fall of the enemy’s illusions and its colonial projects in the country.
Many of the messages sent by the President of the Republic, Mahdi al-Mashat, also came from the same level, especially when he called the province of Hodeidah the “guardian of the Red Sea,” adding that Yemen does not pose a threat to international navigation.
In short, the show was a festival to establish the reality of the new Yemeni state, which can no longer be bypassed, and which adheres to a project of independence and liberation that does not recognize submission to any external pressures or ambitions, regardless of the size of the forces behind it.
The armistice and the consequences of its failure: The battle of the sea
The “truce” was one of the most prominent topics in the messages of the largest military parade, as “The Promise of the Hereafter” is part of a series of parades that were not conducted at the time of the truce mere coincidence, but were intended to give the enemy a clear picture of their fault assessments of the reasons why Sana’a actually seeks peace, and to show them the high readiness to continue the battle.
But what distinguished the “Promise of the Hereafter” messages regarding the armistice, in addition to their clarity and directness, is that they were addressed in a sensitive temporal and spatial circumstance, by the revolutionary and political leadership at the same time, and in front of an unprecedented military mobilization.
Therefore, the assertion of the Leader of the Revolution that “the enemy today is in a real predicament and a great dilemma” and the insistence on “preventing the enemies from occupying our country” and calling on the forces of aggression “to seize the opportunity and stop the aggression completely, end the siege and occupation and absorb the lessons that show the impossibility of achieving control over Yemen” were clear warnings that if the temporary truce does not lead to an actual peace that guarantees the liberation, sovereignty and independence of Yemen, it will only lead to an escalation of its most prominent features, and the completion of the liberation of the occupied areas.
In other words, the armistice today is an opportunity for the coalition of aggression to implement the requirements of actual peace in full, and not subject it to the interests and desires of the enemy.
This was clarified by President Al-Mashat’s messages, in which he stated that “rights are not given but taken” and that “the coming days will reveal if Yemen will make peace by force,” stressing that “evading the obligations of the armistice and returning to the seizure of ships endangers the armistice and makes it in vain.”
It is understood from these messages that the revolutionary and political leadership is giving the enemy a chance, but if they try to circumvent this opportunity, it may lead to falling into the wrong path. The matter is no longer related to the context of the humanitarian file, but rather to approach the requirements of actual peace and stop intransigence, and confirm this path. This was confirmed during the military parade, which raises the level of its sensitivity to a higher level, as it gives an intentional glimpse into some of the consequences of the failure of the armistice.
President Al-Mashat’s talk about “conducting successful tests during the past days of new naval weapons” and confirming the ability to “hit any point in the sea from anywhere on land geography” was striking enough to clarify part of the features of the next stage of the confrontation in the event of the truce failure, which is a stage that will accompany the level of preparation and strength reached by the armed forces as a growing force for a liberation project that has proven its success and stability, and this was clearly translated by the military parade.
The most important aspect of this event is what was revealed of sea or land-to-sea missiles, as new missiles were announced to the public that were unknown, namely the Mandeb 2, Faleq1, and the Russian Robej, in addition to the Mandeb 1 that was presented before.
