RNA - Addressing his followers in a Friday afternoon speech in the Northern city of Sa’ada and on the occasion of Martyrs’ Day, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi stated that the Al Saud regime turns hostile toward any nation that resists the hegemonic acts of US and Israeli authorities in the Middle East region, presstv reported.
He dubbed the Saudi military aggression against his country as one that is actually led by Washington supported by Tel Aviv, stressing that nothing could justify such an onslaught against the Yemeni people.
Houthi also emphasized that Saudi Arabia and its advocates are trying to divest the Yemeni people of their freedom, national pride, motherland as well as their country’s geo-political weight.
"They want to transform us into people who have no will in any issue of their lives. No decision-making power. They want us to be puppets who obey what they want," Houthi commented.
The Ansarullah leader also leveled strident criticism against those Yemenis who are collaborating with Saudi Arabia in its devastating bombardment against Yemen’s infrastructure, saying they are “puppets and slaves of the enemies.”
Houthi underlined that the Saudi military aggression will never succeed to deal a blow to the Yemenis’ steadfastness and resistance.
“Yemenis depend on their will and perseverance more than ever. Yemenis have proved to the whole world that they will never surrender to aggressors. We are targeted by enemies because we want to be free and independent. Yemenis will never accept humiliation and submission to invaders,” he said.
The leader of the Ansarullah movement went on to say that Yemeni soldiers and fighters from allied Popular Committees have inflicted heavy casualties on enemies, and destroyed many of their advanced military vehicles during battles with Saudi forces.
Houthi said Yemen's enemies will continue to suffer from the dire consequences of their military campaign against the Arab country, economic woes in particular, saying the aggressors have now come to realize that war on Yemen will cost them dearly.
He said Yemenis are building capabilities in the fight against aggressors, expressing hope that Yemeni forces will unveil a domestically-developed unmanned aerial vehicle in the near future.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 13,100 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has drove the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster.
