While Yemenis are joyfully marking the diamond jubilee of the timeless October 14 Revolution, their attention converges with ours and that of the world on the events unfolding in Gaza. In this region, the ultimate authority resides with the land and its rightful inhabitants, leaving no respite for the occupier who remains on unlawfully seized territory.
As the Peaceful Revolution Youth Council joins the Yemeni people in commemorating the timeless memory of October 14, a day intertwined with the resilience of this remarkable nation against one of history's harshest occupations, namely the brutal British colonial rule, we seize this moment to address the Saudi-Emirati occupation and the Iranian occupation, along with their proxies. Your presence on our land is a temporary outcome born out of a momentary blend of internal and external conspiracies, betrayals, and the complicity of anti-democratic forces and the international community. However, this moment shall not endure.
Just as the Yemenis expelled the British Empire and its forces six decades ago, they possess the capability to remove the current occupier, dismantle their militias, and thwart their destructive schemes aimed at undermining Yemen's unity in terms of both land and people. These schemes seek to erode the hard-earned achievements of the Yemeni people, including the establishment of a republic, the principles of democracy and citizenship, and the agreed-upon national references by Yemeni political forces.
The Peaceful Revolution Youth Council passionately urges the Yemeni people to rally around their national constants, drawing inspiration from the immortal milestones of September, October, and May, leading to the November 11th revolution of change, as a testament to their enduring struggle for a homeland that embraces all under the rule of law and accountability, striking fear in the capitals of counter-revolutions.
The council extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Yemeni people on this momentous occasion, emphasizing the strong commitment to the national project and the rightful owners of the land. There is no solace for militias and factions that have compromised their autonomy and principles to serve the occupiers and their agendas.
May the martyrs rest in peace!
May the wounded find healing!
May Great Yemen be glorified!
