Yemen’s Houthi Leader Denounces Saudi-led Coalition on Revolution Anniversary

Local Editor

The leader of Yemen’s Houthis Ansarullah movement has lashed out with a defiant speech on the eve of the third anniversary of the revolution.

In a speech aired on Yemen’s al-Masirah TV on Wednesday, Sayed Abdel-Malek al-Houthi slammed the Saudi-led coalition on the occasion of the “Sept. 21 revolution.”

Al-Houthi accused the U.S., Saudi Arabia and the UAE of seeking to divide Yemen by working with local groups and the resigned regime of fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to seize control of Houthi territory.

The Saudi-led coalition has since 2015 waged a blistering military campaign against Yemen, while enforcing an air and sea blockade of the country. Thousands of civilians have been killed in the aggression.
