The leader of the Ansarullah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr Al-Din al-Houthi, stated on Thursday that regional actors targeting Yemen—led by Saudi Arabia—are operating under US supervision to serve American interests.
In a speech commemorating the anniversary of the late Martyr President Saleh al-Sammad, al-Houthi addressed Saudi movements in Yemen’s southern and eastern provinces. He asserted that Riyadh is concerned neither with Yemen’s unity nor its secession, but rather aims for “total control, occupation, and dominance over the Yemeni people.”
Al-Houthi highlighted the competition between regional tools in Mahrah and Hadhramaut provinces, noting that Saudi Arabia treats these areas as its exclusive sphere of influence. He further noted that political decisions and positions held by local factions are fully directed by Saudi Arabia under American oversight.
The leader of the Ansarullah concluded by accusing Saudi Arabia of exploiting various religious and secular slogans for mobilization and recruitment, while simultaneously seeking to seize control of Yemen’s political decision-making and unexploited natural resources in the eastern provinces.
Commander Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi: If the enemies had managed to occupy our entire country, they would have employed the forces mobilized with them in an appropriate manner to keep our people engaged in marginal conflicts and disputes day and night
• If the enemies had managed to occupy our entire country, the tools of aggression would have worked to exhaust our people under political, regional, sectarian, and racial pretexts
• The Americans know how to generate many headlines and turn them into problems, and how to create crises in order to exploit them
• When a people lack awareness, faith, and vigilance, they are easily drawn into preoccupations within the enemies’ agendas, while the real control, plundering of resources, and control of everything are left to the occupier
• It is the right of our dear people to be a free people, not a people enslaved to the Saudis, who are enslaved to the Americans, Zionists, and the Jewish lobby
• The targeting of our people in all its forms is an ongoing situation due to our people’s stance in support of the Palestinian people and the Zionist invasion of Gaza over the past two years
- The American targeting of the Islamic Republic of Iran was intense, but it failed completely, and the criminal gangs collapsed
• There is complete control over the situation in Iran, and America failed miserably there
• We must be aware and vigilant, and never be deceived by the headlines raised by America, no matter how some regimes drum them up and promote them. They are just deceptive headlines
• Success and prosperity for this nation come when it moves with free and independent will
• Any activity within the nation that aligns with the Americans, Israelis, or British is unjust, harmful, and false. It brings no benefit to the nation and is part of their targeting of it
• Our refuge as Muslim peoples and Islamic countries in the Arab world is to act based on our faith and Islamic identity, so that we can be a free nation
• We must confront the challenges and conspiracies of the enemies by relying on God, trusting in Him, taking the necessary measures, and rise as a free and independent nation
• No matter the size of the challenges, difficulties, or conspiracies, with trust in God, acting according to His guidance and instructions, and adhering to our faith identity, our nation will receive God’s help and victory
