A massive popular march in Taiz in support of the liberation battle and protecting Yemeni sovereignty.

The city of Taiz witnessed, on Thursday, a massive popular march in support of the liberation battle and the restoration of state institutions, and in support of the decisions of the Presidential Leadership Council aimed at protecting Yemeni sovereignty and ending the Houthi militia's coup.

Crowds flocked to the city of Taiz from various districts of the governorate, representing a wide range of political and social components, parties and organizations, civil society organizations, as well as notables and social figures.

The participants in the march raised slogans supporting the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, and backing the battle to restore the republic, extend state authority over all Yemeni territories, protect national sovereignty, and uphold the dignity of the Yemeni people.

A statement was issued from the march in the name of the people of Taiz Governorate, affirming that the governorate has paid a heavy price in defense of the state, its republican system, freedom, and dignity, stressing that the will of Yemenis is unbreakable, that the state project will endure, and that the coup will eventually vanish.

The statement pointed to the pivotal role of Taiz Governorate in adopting the comprehensive national project, as the living national conscience and the fortress on whose walls the projects of imamate and tyranny have shattered, affirming that it will remain at the forefront until the restoration of state institutions, the end of the coup, and the extension of the republic's authority over the entire national territory.

It explained that the imamate project, in its old and new forms, has brought nothing to Yemen and its people but war, hunger, poverty, and division, noting that it has become the most dangerous arm of the Iranian regime in the region, and that its continued support, arming, and funding do not only target Yemen but threaten national security, freedom of international navigation, and opportunities for peace and stability.

The statement renewed the full support of the people of Taiz Governorate for what was stated in the speech of the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, considering it a historic national speech that outlined the features of the next phase and established the priority of restoring state institutions, preserving national sovereignty, ending the coup, and alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people.

The statement also announced support for all measures taken by the Presidential Leadership Council and the government to protect the sovereignty of the Yemeni Republic, and rejected any attempts to impose a fait accompli outside state institutions or to turn Yemen into a field for implementing the agendas of the Iranian regime and its destructive project in the region.

The participants supported the government's measures regarding the resumption of oil exports, considering the step a responsible national decision aimed at restoring the state's sovereign resources and enabling it to pay salaries, improve services, and support the national economy.

The statement affirmed that Taiz Governorate, which has been under a continuous siege for about a decade and has lost thousands of martyrs and wounded, represents the truest witness to the falsehood of the Houthi militia's claims and the human, economic, and security suffering it has caused.

The people of Taiz condemned the continued interference of the Iranian regime in Yemeni affairs and its political and military support for the Houthi militia, considering it a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Yemeni Republic and a direct threat to the security of Yemen, the region, freedom of international navigation, and international peace and security.

The statement called for unifying the national ranks and rallying around the state project, its political leadership, armed forces, and security agencies, and making the liberation battle and ending the coup a comprehensive national goal for all Yemenis.

The participants at the conclusion of the statement praised the positions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince Prince Mohammed bin Salman, standing by the Yemeni people, and its continuous support for state institutions, its contributions to alleviating human suffering and funding development and service projects and supporting the national economy, and what it has provided to Taiz Governorate and all Yemeni governorates, .
