large mass procession in Sana’a entitled “Siege is war”

The capital, Sana’a, witnessed a major mass rally this afternoon, Friday, entitled “The Siege is War” to denounce the continuation of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and blockade against the Yemeni people.

The mass crowds of the people of Sana’a province chanted slogans affirming the rejection of the blockade, the procrastination of the aggression coalition in disbursing the salaries of state employees, and ending the suffering of the Yemeni people.

The masses gathered in the procession, which roamed a number of streets, raised banners expressing the Yemeni people’s refusal to bargain with the enemy and its perseverance in its criminality, siege and aggression, and its insistence on Yemenis to obtain their guaranteed and legitimate rights.

They denounced the practices of the aggression coalition by tightening the blockade, continuing to detain oil derivatives ships, continuing to plunder the country’s oil, wealth and resources, and establishing military bases in the occupied provinces.

The mass crowds reaffirmed the strengthening of steadfastness, cohesion, and awareness of preserving the unity of the home front, confronting the plots of the aggression forces and their tools, and thwarting their attempts to tear the social fabric, destabilize security and stability, and disrupt the internal ranks.

The statement of the mass procession, which was read by the advisor to the President of the Supreme Political Council, Allama Muhammad Muftah, warned the aggression coalition of the consequences and consequences of any military escalation that it would take on any front and, in any way, and the consequences of the continuation of the blockade on Yemen and the detention of fuel ships, goods and commodities
The statement stressed the need to lift the blockade imposed on Sana’a International Airport without restrictions, conditions or derogation, warning against ignoring the demands of the Yemeni people to open the airport to flights, as all airports in the world do.

The statement renewed the aggression coalition’s warning against continuing to refuse to pay employees’ salaries from the proceeds of oil and gas wealth, which were looted to the National Bank of Saudi Arabia.
It stressed that employees obtaining their salaries are due rights that do not accept deduction or bargaining.

The statement announced that the Yemeni people stand by the leadership to take what is necessary to deter aggression and in whatever options it deems appropriate to lift the blockade.
It called on the armed forces to be at a high level of readiness and vigilance.
The statement pointed out that the suspicious deals concluded by the aggression mercenaries with their operators are null and void, and are not recognized by the Yemeni people, including the deal to sell Qishn port, the oil sector of Al-Uqla, and others.
It indicated that the sale of homelands is treason and has no legitimacy.

The procession statement also warned the companies, entities and systems that deal with the aggression mercenaries, that all their procedures are invalid and have no basis, and it is a sale of those who do not own to those who do not deserve.

The statement called on all the Yemeni people to preserve the cohesion of the home front, and to beware of the enemy’s plans to stir up problems and destabilize popular cohesion and steadfastness.
It warned against the division’s efforts that the enemies are working on.

The statement urged the continuation of the comprehensive mobilization and mobilization of the fronts, and supporting them with men and money, until the decisive victory is achieved.

The statement affirmed that the Palestinian cause is the main and central one.
It denounced the Zionist crimes committed by Jewish gangs against the Palestinian people, and their storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It called for a broad Islamic position to repel the continuous Jewish arrogance.

The statement considered the war of starvation and siege one of the aspects of the American war against the Yemeni people, and a crime described in the charters and laws of the United Nations as a crime of genocide and comprehensive, and a war and aggression aimed at killing the largest number of Yemenis, and taking revenge on them by expanding their suffering and narrowing their lives.

The statement said: “It is no secret to anyone that the blockade imposed by the US-Saudi aggression coalition, by land, sea and air since the beginning of the criminal war, continues and has led to catastrophic suffering for all the Yemeni people, and it is no secret to anyone that the aggression coalition closed ports, airports and outlets.
The aggression prevented the arrival of ships of goods, fuel, medicine and aid, stopped flights in front of patients and travelers, deliberately destroyed factories and economic and living foundations, targeted the central bank, cut employee salaries, and looted wealth and resources to his private banks.

The statement indicated that the periods of armistice and the aftermath of fanfare and negotiations proved that the aggression coalition led by America is not willing to commit to any steps that alleviate the Yemenis’ suffering, but on the contrary, it absolutely refuses to pay the salaries of employees from the national wealth, and tightens the siege more and more severely, and considers the legitimate demands.
Impossible and unacceptable conditions, and it tries to exploit the suffering to dismantle and destabilize the home front in order to enable it to achieve its goals, and to ensure that its facilities are not exposed to missile and air strikes, and this is an unfair and unacceptable equation.

Also, the statement continued: “It is also no secret that the American aggression coalition continues to besiege and starve the Yemeni people by preventing the arrival of fuel, food, medicine, and necessary and basic commodities to them, with the exception of small amounts of fuel, and a limited number of flights that are allowed, and it sets a long list of basic needs.” It is on the list of prohibited entry, but rather it prevents cargo ships from entering through the Hodeida ports.

The procession statement stated that what is allowed of fuel ships are only small quantities, deliberately doubling their prices and purchase costs through piracy, seizure and long inspection procedures, which double fines and costs, causing a rise in prices, exacerbating the living crisis of the Yemeni people and multiplying their suffering unbearably.
Statement went on: “With regard to salaries, the aggression coalition refuses to pay the salaries of employees, except according to its statements and on its terms and for very limited categories of employees, and without any practical obligations. He leaves crumbs of these resources and wealth for the Yemeni people.”
