Abdul-Malik al-Houthi condemns Saudi military actions in Yemen

Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansar Allah movement, issued a speech commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 2016 missile strike on a large funeral hall in Sanaa. He characterized the Saudi-led military actions in Yemen as criminal and systematic, targeting civilians, mosques, markets, and residential areas.

Al-Houthi highlighted several specific incidents, including the 2016 Sanaa massacre that killed and injured over a thousand people, and a strike on a wedding in Sanban, Dhamar, which resulted in 43 deaths and 70 injuries. He also referenced the use of internationally banned weapons during the Attan bomb explosion and attacks on school buses.

He accused the Saudi government of using religious symbols to mask aggression and stated that such actions would not break the will of the Yemeni people. He further criticized any regional or international involvement in the conflict, labeling it as complicity in injustice.
