Al-Houthi announces his position on “Imamate”, reveals secret of regime fall
SANAA, Sept. 20 (YPA) – Member of the Supreme Political Council Mohammad Ali al-Houthi has reiterated Ansaruallah’s position on the republican system and imamate in Yemen.
“We are Republicans, and did not call for the imamate in the state system,” al-Houthi said in a televised interview with Al-Masirah TV Channel on Thursday.
He pointed out that the former regime was suffering of aging, and it considered older leaders as the entire state. “The former regime refused arbitration of the people will, relied on external intervention to support it.”
He attributed the fall of Hadi’s regime to the overthrow of the will of the people and the mortgage of Yemen to foreign tutelage.
“If the previous government was patriotic, it would not resort to external forces to support it and contribute to the destruction of Yemen and its infrastructure,” al-Houthi affirmed.
Al-Houthi revealed that Saudi Arabia had summoned the commander of the Yemeni air force at the rule of the former regime and gave him 500,000 Saudi riyals in exchange for all information about Yemen’s air capabilities.
He noted that no one who holds reactionary individual rule can come to protect the republic and democracy, referring to Hadi and his government.
The political council’s member affirmed that Yemeni people have great political awareness as well as military leaders. “ The Yemeni army was and is still on side of September 21 revolution.”
“Like we face aggression in military field fiercely, we will confront it at all levels,” al-Houthi stressed.
On the international level, al-Houthi said that the recent conference of Putin, Rouhani and Erdogan has reflected a positive change in convictions about the aggression on Yemen, affirming that this change was made by “the steadfastness of the Yemeni people. “
“Despite changing int’l attitudes, Trump’s administration still stand against political solution in Yemen,” he added, calling on all countries to open common relations with Yemen and the national salvation government.
