Today, Tuesday, the local authority in Saada governorate organized a central speech event on the ninth anniversary of National Resilience Day and the passage of nine years of US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and blockade.
At the event, which was attended by Shura Council member Hadi Al-Hamzi, governorate Undersecretary Saleh Oqab praised the legendary steadfastness of the revolutionary leadership, the Supreme Political Council, the fighters, and the Yemeni people, and their steadfastness in the face of the coalition of aggression led by US and its tools.
He stated that the Yemeni steadfastness is the result of the efforts of the martyr leader, Sayyed. Hussein Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, the Qur’anic project, and the wise leadership of Sayyed. Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, who contributed a qualitative role in moving the Yemeni people to a position, confrontation, steadfastness, and sacrifice with the forces of hegemony and global arrogance.
Undersecretary Oqab pointed out the victory of the Yemeni people over the aggression coalition, indicating that the heroic epics that the Yemeni people have written and are writing today in their supportive and advocating position for the Palestinian people, their valiant resistance, and their weekly exit of millions confirm Yemen’s victory on various fronts, paths and levels.
At the event, which was attended by the governorate’s agents, directors of the executive office, and representatives of a number of institutions and associations working in the governorate, the director of the Human Rights Office in Saada, Yahya Al-Khatib, reviewed nine-year statistics of the American-Saudi aggression against the governorate.

Al-Khatib stressed that the statistics that were presented confirm the barbarism and criminality of the countries of the aggression coalition and reveal the hypocrisy and clear complicity of the so-called human rights organizations that preferred to please the executioner at the expense of the victim, with the horrific massacres that Yemen was exposed to during nine years.
