The global Zionist lobby and its American, Israeli, and some European arms are seeking to contain and infiltrate the Islamic Ummah, said Yemeni Ansar Allah movement leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi on Tuesday.

In his speech on the eve of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), al-Houthi stressed that the enemies of the Islamic world have reached the point of interfering in the curricula of Arab and Islamic countries.

Soft warfare aims to control the Muslim world in various fields, he said, adding that the Islamic people need to be cohesive in order to regain their leading role in the world.

According to the Yemeni leader, Muslims today, more than ever, need to strengthen their connection to the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH), and the Quran, in order to regain their freedom, dignity, and liberation from all forms of subjugation.

Regarding the occasion of the noble birth anniversary of the Prophet, Sayyed al-Houthi said that the extent of engagement with this occasion enhances hope, meaning that the Yemeni people are qualified to provide a distinguished example of their faith and loyalty to the Messenger of Allah.

"The anniversary of the Prophet's birth connects us to the greatest Islamic symbol, the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, and it strengthens our connection to Islam and the Quran, enhancing awareness," he underlined.

National wealth squandered, plundered 

Regarding Yemen's internal affairs, al-Houthi revealed that the absence of competency standards is one of the main reasons for problems in all state institutions, adding that the deprivation of services is an issue that Yemenis all over the nation complain about.

"National wealth has been squandered and plundered for decades, not harnessed for the service of the Yemeni people," he said. Some political figures have accumulated immense wealth, and they are now enjoying it in the UAE, Egypt, Turkey, and elsewhere, the leader added.

"Officials from the previous regime are shedding crocodile tears for the Yemeni people today, standing with the coalition of aggression after they contributed to the shedding of Yemeni blood."

Al-Houthi underlined that the stability of state institutions in recent years is an achievement in and of itself, adding that the situation in state institutions should not continue as it is because there are deep imbalances in systems, laws, and procedures.

He asserted his belief that radical change should be accompanied by popular direction to change the reality of institutions, noting that there are effective and loyal cadres who have served the country diligently in various provinces, but there are also weak cadres, some of whom are exploited and others are hostile.

The enemies want the Yemeni people to become without identity or belonging, hoping that the people achieve freedom, independence, and dignified living.

He stressed that the Yemeni people are among the most virtuous in the world in preserving their moral and religious values, as evidenced by their interaction with the commemoration of the noble birth anniversary of the Prophet.

Military capabilities bolster hope

The leader of the Ansar Allah movement affirmed that Yemen's enemies have witnessed the capabilities of the movement's military, and they have seen its strikes reaching deep into Saudi Arabia and the UAE despite their possession of advanced defense systems.

He emphasized that the significant achievements in the military field instilled hope in the Yemeni people for actual change and effective reform in state institutions.

A few days ago, the annual Grand Prophet's Festival took place in Sanaa, which included theatrical, musical, and poetic performances, commemorating the noble birth anniversary of the Prophet.

As part of the celebrations held in Yemen, cities and villages across Yemen were illuminated with green colors, from the mountains to the coasts.

Previously, Sayyed al-Houthi addressed Yemen's military capabilities and its recent advancements, in a speech commemorating the September 21st Yemeni Revolution.

The leader said Yemen continues to improve its missile and rocket arsenal, comprising long-range rockets, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and various attack drones.

"Our country possesses missile technology, and the missile capabilities have evolved exponentially from long-range missiles to guided and ballistic ones, not to mention drones," he said. 

Sayyed al-Houthi pointed out that the blockade imposed on Yemen led to inverse results pushing its military to domestically produce weapons ranging "from pistols to missiles."

He added that Yemen's Armed Forces have also been remarkably successful in foiling several terrorist attacks, including assassination attempts, underscoring their vast contributions to maintaining Yemeni security.

The US administration has opted to employ aggressive policies against Yemen, taking advantage of internal division in an attempt to push the country into the abyss, al-Houthi emphasized. 

Furthermore, the Yemeni leader highlighted the dire crisis that Yemen's National Army endured during the US administration prior to the September 21 Revolution, marked by infighting within its ranks, under the auspices of the US. 

The US administration aimed to exploit internal division in Yemen for its own strategic ends, but according to the Ansar Allah leader, the Yemeni people were cognizant of Washington's intentions and effectively thwarted its plans on September 21, 2014.

In the context of the war on Yemen, al-Houthi said the US-Saudi-led coalition killed thousands of Yemeni civilians, carrying out genocides in the country through direct military action, not to mention the siege, which has left millions endangered by starvation.
