Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

To our great Yemeni people, I extend my heartfelt greetings, dear brothers and sisters, as we commemorate the fourteenth anniversary of the February 11th Youth Popular Peaceful Revolution. This revolution embodied the aspirations of the Yemeni people for a state founded on citizenship, justice, and the rule of law. 
Our celebration of this anniversary reaffirms the national and moral significance of the February Revolution, along with its core principles and objectives—freedom, justice, and a dignified life. It reflects the principled ideals of the February Revolution, embodying the core values of the Yemeni nation, which include the principles of republic, unity, and national sovereignty."
To the free people of Yemen, steadfast in your commitment to national principles, the republic, unity, and independence—I address you today at a historic moment that echoes across the Arab world and beyond, as we witness our brothers in Syria beginning to reap the fruits of their long struggle after thirteen years of hardship.
Their resolve remained unshaken despite fourteen years of explosive barrel attacks and the imprisonment of hundreds of thousands in the horrific detention centers of Saydnaya and other torture facilities, along with the existence of mass graves. They faced genocide, as six million Syrians were displaced beyond their borders and their cities and lives lay in ruins. Yet, they did not break; they maintained their faith in themselves and the justice of their cause.
A promise of freedom and victory emerged. Bashar al-Assad fled, and his regime, along with its sectarian militia allies, faced defeat, as did the forces of Iran and Russia. The Syrians began to reclaim their state and homeland. The Assad regime and its allies employed every means of oppression and genocide, believing they could quash the revolution at its inception. However, the final word belonged to the Syrians.
In the end, the Syrians triumphed over the regime of genocide, the sectarian factions, and the foreign interventions that conspired against them from every direction. The victory of the Syrian revolution is a victory for all of us. It stands as further proof that the will of the people never dies and that injustice and tyranny, no matter how long they persist, will ultimately come to an end. Just as the Syrians have triumphed today, we in Yemen—despite our wounds—remain steadfast in our revolutionary path until its goals are fully realized. 
We will persevere until our state is restored, until Yemen rises from its ordeal, and until our nation is freed from the grip of the Houthi militias and their Iranian backers. We will continue our struggle until Yemen is liberated from division, warlords, conspiracies, and the Saudi-Emirati guardianship that seeks to strip us of our freedom and dignity.
Dear Great Yemeni People, 
The February Youth Popular Revolution was—and remains—our collective dream of building a nation where the rule of law and justice prevail. It was a revolution born out of our desire to break free from a corrupt and failed family regime that squandered three decades of Yemen’s history—years that should have been a time of progress and prosperity, but were instead marked by corruption and tyranny.  
The revolution aspired to establish a state built on a national contract, one that included all political, civil, and youth forces, as well as the diverse components of Yemeni society. It culminated in a comprehensive national dialogue and the drafting of a new constitution, embodying the aspirations of the Yemeni people for a just and inclusive future.  
However, from its very inception, the enemies of the February Revolution lay in wait, plotting against it. The deposed regime conspired to undermine it, forging an alliance with the Houthi priestly militias in a dark coup aimed at turning back the wheels of time. Through their treachery, they sought to drag Yemen back into an era of tyranny, sectarian supremacy, and oppression. Their coup was an act of vengeance against a people who dared to say “no” to a regime of theft and corruption—one that had monopolized power and plundered Yemen’s resources for over three decades.  
Today, the opponents of the revolution are engaged in a deliberate campaign to distort the truth, attempting to place the blame for the collapse of the state, the war, and the ongoing crises on the revolution itself. They seek to portray the revolution as if it were responsible for government corruption, as if it were the force that enabled the Houthi militias to seize Sana’a, and as if it were the reason behind the derailment of the agreed-upon transitional process.  
Those who manipulate facts and distort the revolution’s course aim to erase from our collective memory the truth—that the coup orchestrated by the deposed president, in collaboration with the Houthi militias and their Iranian backers, is the real cause of Yemen’s suffering. They seek to rehabilitate the image of the fallen regime and absolve the coup that plunged Yemen into unprecedented hardship. 
This coup, carried out through a shameful alliance between the deposed president and the Houthi militias, was nothing short of a betrayal of the people and the homeland—one that they now attempt to justify while disregarding the immense suffering they have inflicted upon Yemen. 
The forces of the counter-revolution, represented by the remnants of the fallen regime, sectarian and separatist factions, and corrupt elites, have capitalized on the chaos to reassert their influence. These forces are not external; they emerged under the guise of the fallen regime, which contributed to the dismantling of the state and weakened its structure, resulting in the tragedy we witness today.
The frenzied campaigns against the most admirable aspect of Yemen's recent history—the February Revolution and its youth, along with popular and national forces—are not merely attempts to exonerate the Imamate coup, but also to absolve the dubious regional roles played by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which have driven Yemen into this quagmire. These insidious campaigns aim to obscure the destructive impact of foreign interventions that have not served Yemen’s interests or the restoration of the state, but have instead been significant contributors to the current crisis Yemen faces.
I speak to everyone today:
To the Houthi militia:
You have chosen to betray the homeland and its people, forcing Yemenis to endure the grip of your coup, characterized by injustice, oppression, and racism. In doing so, you have plunged the country into a quagmire of war, destruction, fragmentation, and foreign occupation.
Your attempts to erase the identity of the Yemeni Republic and alter its landmarks have failed miserably. You still do not grasp that the will of this people cannot be broken. Understand this: Yemenis will not accept being ruled by brutality, corruption, sectarianism, or hateful racism. They will not tolerate any force outside the state seeking to impose its control over them.
Today, with Iran’s support, you attempt to extinguish the people's dream for freedom, justice, democracy, and equality. But rest assured, your efforts at domination or destruction will amount to nothing more than fleeting winds. In the land of Yemen, you will find only men and women who will continue their struggle for dignity and victory, and they will prevail.
To those who claim to represent Yemeni legitimacy,
How can you hold positions of responsibility while your country is being torn apart, watching and colluding as if Yemen is of no concern to you? How can you accept salaries, allowances, and pensions in dollars and Saudi riyals from abroad while your people suffer under the Houthi coup and the failure of legitimate governments to build a state in the regions you boast account for eighty percent of Yemen?
The Yemeni people have come to realize that there is a significant gap between you and them, and that you are just as detrimental to their national cause and livelihood as the Houthi priestly imamate.
Why is your focus solely on your personal interests and securing the future of your children and families, while your people endure the absence of a functioning state, a collapsing currency, and a worsening livelihood crisis amidst growing poverty and the deterioration of health and education services?
How can you expect the people to trust you when you remain divided, with each faction pledging allegiance to the party that funds it, while the people stand alone—defenseless against the tyranny of the Imamate and its systematic policies of humiliation, impoverishment, and oppression?  
I also address those who hold titles of legitimacy. The leaders of the armed groups that joined the Presidential Council have remained loyal to their narrow agendas and external funders. This is not an alliance aimed at restoring the Yemeni state, but rather an alliance that fragments the forces of legitimacy, controls them, and uses them against the Yemeni people's goals of reestablishing the state and defeating the Iranian-backed Houthi coup.
We recognize our enemy in the Houthi Imamate, which continues its hostile actions against our people in the areas it controls, exacerbating the suffering of those in the governorates and directorates it has invaded. Yet, we fail to understand your antagonistic stance toward Yemen and its state while you claim legitimacy and oppose the priestly Imamate project.
History has never seen a leadership that claims to represent a country and asserts control over 80% of its territory while residing abroad. Where are you? You have abandoned the people to confront the Houthi militia coup on one side, while they endure chaos, the absence of a state, currency collapse, and a livelihood crisis in the areas under the control of legitimacy.
What does the Transitional Council seek now that it has been exposed—not only to the northerners but also to the southerners? This council bears a grave responsibility for allowing itself to become a tool of external forces seeking to divide Yemen. It has played a direct role in deepening the economic and humanitarian crisis, a matter that was never among its concerns—whether during its rule as the de facto authority in Aden or after joining the Presidential Council under the guise of legitimacy.  
The harsh reality is that legitimacy itself has been compromised, held hostage by foreign interests, and has abandoned its responsibilities toward the Yemeni people—whether through its political factions or its armed groups.  
Those who claim that Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are allies in restoring the Yemeni state are selling an illusion. The truth is that the agendas of these two countries have never aligned with the goal of reestablishing Yemen’s sovereignty or defeating the Iranian-backed Houthi coup. On the contrary, their actions have systematically weakened legitimacy, enabled the collapse of the state, and emboldened the Houthis in their pursuit of power.
Dear Great Yemeni People,
As the enemies of the February Revolution intensify their frenzied campaigns to blame it for all their crimes against Yemen and its people, our faith in our just cause only grows stronger. We are increasingly convinced that the adversaries of the February Revolution are the same forces opposing the Yemeni aspirations for freedom, independence, and dignity. 
They seek to force us into surrendering to the realities of fragmentation and sectarianism, supported by external forces aiming to tear Yemen apart and erase its national identity. All of these entities share responsibility for the dire conditions our people endure and the suffering that worsens each day.
Yet, despite the numerous challenges facing our country and our people, we affirm that the goals of the February 11 Revolution are more urgent today than ever. The Yemeni people, who have bravely resisted injustice and tyranny, will not yield to the Imamate nor accept the fragmentation of our nation into mini-states beholden to hostile external powers. We stand firm in our commitment to preserve our national identity and our quest for an independent state.
No matter the challenges, we will not surrender to oppression, injustice, racism, or guardianship. We will not yield to falsehood and humiliation. They claim that the February Youth Popular Revolution is over, but we affirm that the February Youth Popular Revolution is ongoing. We will not despair, we will not retreat, and we will not surrender.
Our revolution did not die; it was not defeated or broken. They tried to extinguish its flame, but it remains alive in the hearts of the free, in the faith of our youth for a better future, in the voices of the fighters who refuse to compromise, and in the spirit of our proud people who will not submit to the reality of their country being torn apart by the priesthood of the Imamate, hegemony, and guardianship.
Those who conspire against our people, those who oppress and kill our people, and those who impose a siege on our people fail to realize that our determination is stronger than any attempts to impose injustice, disintegration, and fragmentation upon us and our country. This is a recurring lesson from history: revolution and change are not a walk in the park.
The revolution challenges the deeply rooted interests of corrupt and unjust elites, and those who are threatened by it will resist. The forces of counter-revolution, both at home and abroad, are united against it. Ultimately, the final word belongs to change. It is for the moral and national values brought forth by the revolution, for the free Yemeni people who seek change, citizenship, and the dignity of every Yemeni individual.
My Yemeni brothers and sisters,
On this great national occasion, I cannot but extend my deepest salute to our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who continue to endure one of the most brutal wars of extermination and ethnic cleansing in modern history. For a year and a half, they have faced relentless massacres at the hands of the Zionist occupation, with full support and backing from the United States.  
The reckless calls we hear about the forced displacement of Gaza’s population serve as both a warning and a message to all Arab nations—the threat extends beyond Gaza. Israeli aggression will not stop there; it will reach others, starting with those whom America now pressures to open their borders for the forced displacement of their Palestinian brethren and those it urges to finance a project aimed at uprooting an entire Arab people from their homeland.  
Those who have contributed to the destruction of Arab security—whether by fueling and financing civil wars or by supporting armed militias that have led to the collapse of states in Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and beyond—must take a hard look at their actions and agendas. 
The chaos they helped create has spiraled beyond control, and today, the project to liquidate the Palestinian cause and destabilize the Arab region threatens them all. Its consequences will not be confined to Palestine or the nations already suffering from war and foreign interference—it is a danger to the entire region.
Finally, to all free Yemeni men and women, both in Greater Yemen and the diaspora—this is the Yemen of revolution, republic, unity, and sovereignty. The February Revolution will remain our guiding beacon, and the will of the Yemeni people will be an invincible force against all challenges.
It will serve as our moral and national reference in the struggle to restore our stolen state and regain the transitional path disrupted by the Houthi coup and conspiracies. The February Revolution will be our steadfast compass, our unbroken covenant, guiding us against sectarian and separatist agendas, foreign guardianship, and all forces seeking to steal Yemen from its people.
Let us unite to save our country and our people. Our solidarity is the weapon that will help us overcome this ordeal. We will continue to champion freedom and dignity, refusing to let Yemen become a playground for foreign powers or a tool for Imami and separatist warlords. Together, we will restore our state and reshape the future of our great Yemen, ensuring that every individual lives in dignity under a law that treats everyone equally.
Today, we reaffirm to our Yemeni people what we declared fourteen years ago: Yemen will be as its revolution envisioned—a unified republic, a state of law, and a democratic system that respects human rights and guarantees equal citizenship for all. Long live free and proud Yemen! Glory to the revolutions of February, September, and October, and to every free Yemeni who believes in the republic, unity, pride, dignity, and independence of Yemen.
Best Regards!
