The Public Works, Youth, and Sports Offices, and the branch of the General Authority for Land Transport Regulation in Dhamar Governorate, organized a speech event today to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the glorious September 21 Revolution.

During the event, Deputy Governor Mahmoud Al-Jubain noted that the September 21 Revolution came to eliminate foreign tutelage, ensure the independence of Yemeni decision-making, and thwart many conspiracies threatening the nation.

He pointed out that the September 21 Revolution derived its strength and importance from its ability to bring about broad change in the structure of society.

It represented a pivotal turning point in the lives of the Yemeni people, being a pure and unadulterated revolution, achieved with popular and public participation from various segments and components of the Yemeni people.

Undersecretary Al-Jabin considered the September 21 Revolution a significant milestone in Yemeni history, a milestone from which the people set out to break free from the dark past and lay the foundations for future development based on the principles and values to which our people belong.

This revolution stemmed from a sense and awareness of responsibility and a reality of real suffering, not externally motivated.

During the event, which was attended by the Director of Public Works, Engineer Moaz Al-Shawkani; the Director of the Land Transport Regulatory Authority, Ibrahim Al-Banous; the Director of the Youth and Sports Office, Tayseer Rawya; the Director of the Social Affairs and Labor Office, Khaled Al-Maqdashi; and the Director of the Fisheries Sector, Sadiq Al-Sablani, the Deputy Director of Public Works, Engineer Mohammed Reda, emphasized that the September 21 Revolution is a popular liberation revolution that changed the course of Yemeni history and restored the Yemeni people’s sovereignty, dignity, and independent decision-making.

He pointed out that the September 21 Revolution represented a popular uprising against guardianship, corruption, and hegemony, and a new birth for a homeland whose people aspire to live in dignity and freedom.

He stated that the September 21 Revolution broke the shackles, overthrew the projects of dependency, and proved that Yemen can only be free, independent, and proud.

He said: “This revolution, the fruits of which we see today, would not have been able to withstand the global aggression and unjust blockade were it not for the grace of God Almighty, the awareness of the Yemeni people, and the wisdom and courage of the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, who played a role in strengthening our people’s steadfastness in the face of the most formidable challenges, leading our Yemeni people to lead the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nation in confronting the nation’s enemies and supporting the Palestinian people, who have been facing the most heinous crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip for more than two years.”

Reda emphasized adherence to the principles and values established by the September 21 Revolution, translating its principles to meet the aspirations of Yemenis to build a strong, secure, and prosperous nation capable of facing challenges.

For his part, cultural activist Abdullah Al-Banous pointed out that the September 21 Revolution came amid a tragic security situation, the effects of which included the targeting of key sovereign sites, the spread of chaos, and the rampant corruption, guardianship, and domination of the Yemeni people.

He explained that the September 21 Revolution succeeded in thwarting mercenary and agent projects, liberating Yemen from foreign guardianship, and making Yemen independent in its decision-making, capable of confronting the challenges it faces. He noted that the September 21 Revolution achieved accomplishments in various sectors, including successes in the military field and the move towards developing defense capabilities.
