Houthi Leader: Saudi Aggression Has Failed, Yemenis Continuing Normal Life
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Leader of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi said the ongoing Saudi-led aggression and crimes against Yemen have failed to stop the Arab country’s people to go ahead with their normal life.
In a recent wedding celebration for a total of 3,300 grooms and brides in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, Leader of the Ansarullah revolutionary movement al-Houthi said that the occasion tells the coalition of aggression that “no matter what your aggression, crimes and tyranny are, we will continue our life path.”
The wedding was organized under the auspices of the General Authority of Zakat in the National Salvation Government, to make it easier for young people to start families despite the deteriorating economic conditions in the country, Al-Ahed News Website reported.
The Houthi leader confirmed that the Yemeni people have stood up against the enemies since the beginning of the aggression in 2015.
“Today’s ceremony is a strong message to the Saudi-led coalition of aggression, stating that whatever your crimes, we are continuing our lives,” he said, adding that it shows the high value and importance of social solidarity in Islam.
The Zakat Authority must be supported by the state, the judiciary, and all the authorities concerned with this matter so that the authority can carry out its duty,” he said.
He further explained that Zakat is the alternative to the need for foreign organizations that operate on agendas subject to political and security influence and international blackmail.
The Saudi-led coalition invaded Yemen in 2015. Since then, over 100,000 people have been killed, according to the US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED).
