The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi confirmed that the aggression against Yemen has killed tens of thousands, referring to the coalition's occupation of large areas of the country, and its control over the country's wealth in terms of oil and gas, in addition to its blockade of Yemen. 

During a speech he delivered in commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Zayd bin Ali, al-Houthi pointed to the ninth consecutive year of aggression on Yemen, "under the direct supervision and intervention of the Americans and the British, and the execution of their Saudi and Emirati agents, without justification."  

Al-Houthi believed that "the problem of the Saudis and Emiratis, despite the cost of the aggression against our people, is that they are subject to the United States of America and Britain," stressing the American keenness to continue targeting Yemen.

He added, "If (the American) cannot occupy all of our country, he will be keen to extract what has been occupied from him."

'We will not be silent.. and give us enough time for mediation'

In his speech, the Ansar Allah leader confirmed that the Saudis would face a "big problem" if they remained "hostage to Washington, heading within their dictates."

He added that Saudis should understand that Yemen will not remain destroyed and besieged and that the people will not continue to starve and suffer, "while he distances himself from the consequences and obligations, as a result of his unjust aggression against our people for eight years." 

Al-Houthi said that Riyadh should be aware that it can't move to plan B by continuing the blockade, starvation, and depriving the people of their wealth after the war. He warned that the current situation will not continue as it is, stressing that the Saudis must realize that the implementation of US and British dictates will trigger dire consequences.

Even though there are signs of de-escalation and possible Omani mediation, he affirmed that Sanaa does not stand oblivious to the efforts of the enemies to achieve their satanic goals, adding that devastation, the endeavor to dismantle the country and carve out large areas, are matters that cannot pass, adding, "We have made room for mediation sufficiently."

"If they want peace, the path to peace is clear, and there are no impossible conditions on our part."

Likewise, he said that the arrival of any ship to the port of Al-Hudaydah takes place on the ground, after "a long series of contacts, follow-ups, and mediations," and that the flights are very limited from Sanaa airport, and they come after a lot of effort. 

'Failure of enemies is the result of a conscious launch'

In the same context, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen stressed the need to move forward in the military field, in which action is necessary to confront the enemies, in addition to media, politics, economics, and thought.

Al-Houthi hoped that everyone would realize the importance of working on internal stability and thwarting all enemy plots to stir up strife at home, under various pretexts, stressing that the priorities are clear and that they must focus on confronting enemies and achieving peace.

He pointed out that there is feasible movement in Palestine and Gaza, including what the Lebanese Resistance has achieved in Lebanon, and the free people in various countries while predicting more success to come. 

'Some leaders are not fit to hold responsibility'

Regarding the continuous European provocation of Muslims, al-Houthi said they "must take a responsible position." 

He pointed out that "in Western societies, there is no consideration or sanctity left for anything related to the prophets and sacred values," adding that the way was paved to insult God, and it became permissible.

According to him, "many regimes in the Islamic world evaded severing diplomatic relations and economic boycott of countries that offend Islam," considering that this reveals the extent of hypocrisy some Muslims engage in. 

Al-Houthi considered that the rulers of these regimes "reveal their incompetence or suitability for the position of responsibility. They are not trustworthy and they do not hold the responsibility towards their nation and its sanctities."

'The West works to dismantle and enslave society'

As for double standards, al-Houthi pointed out that the West confronts "any criticism of the Jews, under the slogan of anti-Semitism." 

"In our Arab world, we saw injustice in Palestine for decades, and it is a clear and unmasked injustice, yet the West stands as an advocate and supporter of the Israeli enemy," al-Houthi continued.

'Muslims suffer because they are deprived of their wealth'

Al-Houthi touched on the situation in Niger, where "the people suffer from misery and poverty," despite having immense national wealth, "which France plunders and takes for its nuclear reactors, as well as Britain and other countries."

Al-Houthi said that Niger's uranium is supposed to end the people's suffering, pointing also to the terrible looting of wealth, the great misery and suffering of the people.
