Sayyed al-Houthi: Saudi-led Aggression Against Yemen Failed to Achieve Objectives

The leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said that the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen failed to achieve any of its political objectives thanks to the unity and steadfastness of the Yemeni nation.

During a televised speech for a group of Yemeni commanders and tribal leaders in the capital Sana’a on Saturday, Sayyed al-Houthi underlined Ansarullah’s support for an “honorable peace” in Yemen that would guarantee the sovereignty of the country, stressing that surrendering to the pressures of the enemy is not an option for the nation.

Ansarullah leader warned that the enemy seeks to change the result of the failed war in its favor through a new plot aimed at sowing discord among the Yemeni political factions.

Sayyed al-Houthi said enemies seek to infiltrate the Yemeni government and buy loyalty of some officials.

He rejected speculation about efforts by Ansarullah to take control over government institutions and called on all Yemeni political factions to assume an active role in running the country’s affairs.

The Ansarullah leader underscored the need for fighting corruption and implementing reforms in Yemen’s judiciary system to “hold back traitors.”

Saudi Arabia has been leading a destructive military campaign against Yemen since March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Ansarullah movement.

The campaign has devastated the country’s infrastructure. Local Yemeni sources have put the death toll at over 12,000, including many women and children.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that Yemen is battling against the “world's worst cholera outbreak” which affects 5,000 people on a daily basis.
