Local Editor

The President of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council Saleh al-Sammad on Tuesday paid an inspection visit to the armed forces and popular committees at the front lines in Jizan province.

Sammad was received by commander of the Border Guard Brig. Naser Sabhan, commander of Saada axis Brig. Ameen al-Himyari and Chief of Staff of the Saada axis Colonel Abdul Majeed al-Rimam.

The SPC President congratulated the allied forces on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, praising their legendary steadfastness in the face of the Saudi-American aggression and their heroism to defend the homeland.

"We have the honor and pride to visit you on the border frontline to learn from your steadfastness and to inform our people that these men are stationing at the battlefronts to defend the honor and dignity of this nation," president al-Sammad told the armed forces and popular committees at a military base overlooking Jizan. "You are at the border fronts to break Saudi enemy tyranny.”

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 12,000 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
