Head of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen Mahdi al-Mashat said that the [Yemeni] military institution is at an advanced stage, despite what it was subjected to before and after the aggression.

During the graduation ceremony of the Presidential Protection Brigades, al-Mashat affirmed that “while the enemy failed to destroy the heroic military institution, the latter has become the symbol and pride for all the Yemeni people”.

"Wars and conflicts are what build nations and states, and they build people, and we must take advantage of all the challenges we are going through, whether at the level of our heroic military institution or the level of all state institutions,” he added.

The top Yemeni figure urged Yemenis to turn challenges into opportunities to build the nation.

 He also emphasized the importance of maintaining the military institution's balance. 

“All the military regions, and in the security establishment as well, and all state institutions, you must be in the protection forces and the military regions in your behavioral and practical performance at a high level, rather, you must be up to the level of responsibility, ambition, and aspirations that the people of this nation look at," he added.

Al-Mashat reaffirmed that Yemen is the cemetery of the invaders.

Regarding the latest developments, he said: “The events from their beginning until now have proven the correctness of our position when we chose it on the first day of the aggression against our country”. 

“We do not pose a danger to anyone except those who conspire against our country and we will pose a danger to them and they are well aware of that," al-Mashat noted.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he affirmed that the legions of the Yemeni army are in full readiness.

"Our enemy is fighting in all fields, political, social, economic and many things, and it moves under many sectarian, ethnic and sectarian headings, but our people are immune."

The Head of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen concluded his speech by saying:  "We have repeatedly advised and said that the cost of peace is much lower than the cost of war; They prefer war over not delivering salaries when they reject the right of this people and prefer war against them despite the high cost... when they refuse to pay salaries from the people's looted and stolen wealth. These people have the means and the wealth to wage war, despite the high cost”.

It is worth noting that al-Mashat condemned on Tuesday the coalition mercenaries' looting of the Yemeni people's wealth and depositing its sum in the National Bank of Saudi Arabia.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia unleashed a catastrophic war on Yemen in coordination with its Arab allies and with arms and logistical backing from the United States and other Western countries.

Even though the Saudi-led coalition has failed to achieve any of its goals, the war has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis and created the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
