The Leader of the Houthi Ansarullah movement in Yemen, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said on Sunday that the enemy of the Yemeni people will ultimately lose, as Saudi Arabia continues to hit Yemen with deadly military airstrikes.

In a speech on Sunday, Sayyed al-Houthi said that the people of Yemen will ultimately win because they are being subjected to injustice and are fighting a war for independence.

He described the Yemeni people’s fighting against the aggressors as legitimate defense.

He also called on the Yemeni people to do all they can in the "great battle," expressing confidence that they will emerge victorious.

Developments in Aden

Furthermore, Sayyed al-Houthi referred to recent developments in the southern Yemeni city of Aden and the Western media propaganda that al-Qaeda militants and the ones loyal to the fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, have made progress in the city.

He further suggested that achievements made by the Saudis are temporary.

The enemy spent billions of dollars and conducted hundreds of strikes in Aden to gain very limited achievements and be pulled into a quagmire instead, he said.

"What remains is the steadfastness of the people", Sayyed al-Houthi said. 

The head of the Yemeni Houthi movement said that the aggressors are trying to use the short-lived developments in Aden to cover up their losses.

Saudis’ Objective

Sayyed al-Houthi noted that the aggressors fabricate misleading justification for their attacks in order to gain ground in the Arab world’s poorest country, Yemen.

The Saudis have targeted the livelihoods of the people and are committing genocide, which is indicative of their evil nature, he said, adding that the Saudis seek to humiliate the Yemenis and tear the country apart.

He stressed that it is "silly" that the aggressors claim they seek legitimacy in Yemen as they have never respected Yemen and always wanted Yemeni officials to be submissive to them.

He added that Saudis do not care for the Yemenis and they just want to please Americans to win their support in the international arena.

The Saudi officials are "intervening in a matter that does not concern" them, Sayyed al-Houthi further said, describing as "laughable" their claims of support for the Yemenis.

He noted that the people will sacrifice their lives for the sake of the independence.
