Yemenis commemorate departure of US Marines from Yemen

A speech event was held on Sunday at Sana'a University on the anniversary of the departure of the American Marines from Yemen on February 11, 2015, organized by the Supreme Committee of the National Campaign to Support Al-Aqsa. At the event, the Chairman of the Supreme Committee of the National Campaign to Support Al-Aqsa - Advisor to the President of the Supreme Political Council, Allama Muhammad Muftah, considered February 11, 2015 was a pivotal day in the history of Yemen. The capital, Sana'a, as the first Arab capital, got rid of American tyranny and was liberated from dependency, guardianship, and dependence on foreign countries. Sana'a remained and will remain the capital of Islam and the citadel of Arabism. He said, "The Marines left that day defeated and fleeing after they thought that they had tightened their control over Yemen and that the regime they had created would work to subjugate and humiliate the Yemenis." Pointing out that the will of God overcame the will of the American devil with the v ictory of the project of the martyr leader who raised the cry in the face of the American aggression early and bore the consequences until he attained martyrdom. The scholar Muftah pointed out that America and its tools in Yemen and the region thought that after waging war on the martyr leader and his supporters, displacing them, abusing them, and destroying their homes and property until the moment of his martyrdom, they silenced every voice opposing American hegemony and arrogance, and they did not realize that their patience and steadfastness changed all the scales and brought the cry to the various regions of Yemen. He touched on the attempt to circumvent the popular uprising in the February 11, 2011 revolution, through the Gulf Initiative and their ability to impose guardianship over the initiative and the Yemeni people, which resulted in the recycling of the previous regime. He stressed that the revolution of September 21, 2014 AD succeeded in destroying the idols of dependency and subjugation and di splacing the tools of the hegemonic forces that fled the capital, and thought that it was an eternal capital of oppression and subjugation, to become today as it was and will remain the incubator of Islam and the citadel of Arabism. Pointing out that February 11 is the anniversary of the Marines' departure from Sana'a after occupying neighborhoods in the capital and vital centers and controlling Yemeni communications technically, administratively and leadership with blatant justifications for combating terrorism created by America. The advisor to the President of the Supreme Political Council reviewed a historical overview of the American interventions in Yemen and its invasion of Yemeni airspace and targeting of the Yemenis under the pretext of combating terrorism, as well as the precursors that occurred after the September 21 revolution until the moment the American Marines escaped and left. In turn, the Deputy Prime Minister of the caretaker government for Defense and Security Affairs, Lieutenant General Jalal Al-Ruwaishan, confirmed that the Yemeni people are today waging a holy battle against the imams of infidelity embodied in the Zionist entity, America and Britain within the framework of religious, national, moral and humanitarian responsibility to support and support the Palestinian people. He said: 'We are pleased, on behalf of the caretaker government and the Supreme Committee of the National Campaign to Support Al-Aqsa, to share with you the event in which we celebrate the anniversary of the collapse of American hegemony over Yemen and the departure of the American ambassador and Marines from Sana'a in a scene of clear defeat, especially after they destroyed their weapons and burned secret documents at the headquarters of the American embassy in Sana'a.' He explained that on February 10, 2015, the American Embassy in Sanaa witnessed the largest process of destroying documents and files and disposing of archival files and documents for its agents and spies, which lasted for two days. Pointing out th at American ambitions and direct intervention appeared decades ago in Yemen and most Arab countries with the aim of controlling political and military decisions and ensuring the flow of Arab wealth to serve the American economy and support the Zionist presence. Lieutenant General Al-Ruwaishan stated that the geostrategic location of Yemen was coveted by the Americans and their allies, and the choice of the location of the American naval base in a coastal seaport directly overlooking the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, which is open to the Indian Ocean. He touched on the role of the martyr leader who was aware early of the danger of the American entry into Yemen and formulated a project that prepared the Yemeni people for the stage of complete rejection of foreign hegemony and foreign guardianship and headed towards achieving freedom and independence. He explained that the attempt at American hegemony did not stop in Yemen, but rather returned to lead the aggression and siege that lasted nine years and con tinues even today. He said, "America aims with its aggression against Yemen to impose control over Bab al-Mandab and the Yemeni islands as part of its effort to re-engineer the region in a way that serves Israeli interests in the Red Sea region. One of the ironies that must be considered and contemplated is that between February 11, 2015 AD, and February 11, 2024 AD, nine years began With liberation from American hegemony and guardianship, it ended in an open and direct military confrontation between the Yemeni and American armed forces in the Red Sea.' The Deputy Prime Minister of the caretaker government for security and defense affairs pointed out that this event coincided with the anniversary of the martyr leader and the martyrdom of the martyr President Saleh Al-Sammad, the owner of the renaissance project 'A Hand that Protects... A Hand that Builds,' and the importance of linking it to current events represented by Yemen's position of support and assistance to the brothers in Gaza and the rest of the Palestinian occupied territories. He advised America and Britain to have a positive stance towards the Hamas movement's response to the proposals and within the framework of diplomatic efforts to end the problem and stop the aggression and siege on Gaza to be a way out of the impasse they are in. He also stressed the importance of considering the speech of the leader of the revolution, Sayyed. Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, as the summary of the conclusion and the final chapter of the speech, as no Arab leader who believes in God and is confident in his victory and support has ever stood in this position and with this strength and degree of credibility, clarity and courage for more than 75 years.
