President of the Supreme Political Council in Sanaa, Mahdi Al-Mashat, affirmed that the October 14 Revolution represents a national beacon for liberation and resistance against occupation, stressing the importance of instilling a culture of freedom and rejecting foreign tutelage, amid what he described as veiled occupation attempts to undermine the will of the Yemeni people.
In a speech marking the anniversary of the revolution, Al-Mashat stated that the enemies of revolution and liberation have sought to erase the glorious history of the revolutionaries who ignited the October uprising, insisting on distorting this proud legacy and belittling the sacrifices of the people — resulting in a state of misleading conceptual confusion.
He added that those he called “mercenaries of the new occupation” have dared to combine celebrating the October Revolution with flattering foreign occupiers, accusing them of justifying their presence and serving their agendas. He called for a battle of national awareness, making the October Revolution a guiding light for future generations in their comprehensive struggle for liberation.
Al-Mashat pointed out that the Yemeni people have restored the dignity of the October Revolution through steadfastness and heroic resistance against the U.S.-Saudi aggression for the past ten years, emphasizing that during these years, the people’s resolve has not wavered, their will has not been broken, and they have not relinquished their right to freedom and independence.
Regarding the Palestinian cause, Al-Mashat expressed pride in the popular solidarity shown across the southern provinces with the suffering of the people of Gaza. He praised the historical role of the city of Aden in supporting the Palestinian resistance, recalling that it hosted the first office for the boycott of the Zionist entity, opened training camps for volunteer fighters, and provided weapons and logistical support to the resistance in its early days.
Al-Mashat lamented that today, Aden receives officers from the enemy’s military and Mossad intelligence agency, and has become a place where discordant voices call for normalization with the Zionist entity — a scene he said contradicts the city’s revolutionary history and its legacy of struggle.
He called on the descendants of the revolutionaries in Aden, Lahj, Dhale’, Abyan, Mahra, Shabwa, Hadramawt, Marib, Taiz, and all Yemeni provinces to stand united against the mercenaries and agents of Zionism, upholding the legacy of their ancestors, the banner of dignity, faith-based identity, and true Arab values, in support of Palestine.
Al-Mashat stressed that the 14th of October remains a haunting reminder to invaders and new occupiers of the fate that awaits every occupier on Yemeni soil. He affirmed that the sacrifices made by the Yemeni people will only strengthen their resolve and commitment to their just cause, no matter how great the cost.
Regarding developments in Gaza, Al-Mashat confirmed that the leadership in Sanaa remains alert and fully prepared to follow up on the implementation of the agreement to end the aggression on the Strip and facilitate the entry of aid, indicating readiness to respond to any developments in this regard.
He also announced plans to enhance Yemen’s military capabilities across various domains to achieve effective deterrence amid the ongoing aggressive campaign against Yemen and the region, affirming continued defense of the homeland until every inch of Yemeni territory is liberated and all occupying forces exploiting the nation’s wealth and shedding its people’s blood are expelled.
Al-Mashat concluded by calling on the Saudi regime to move from de-escalation to a complete end of aggression, blockade, and occupation, and to fulfill the clear prerequisites for peace, stressing that this is the most direct path to prevent further conflict and to stop those who profit from wars among the people of the region in service of the Zionist entity.
