Minister of Defence: Countries of aggression must understand the changes of current phase in all its strategic dimensions

SANAA, April 01 (YPA) – Yemen’s Minister of Defence, Major General Muhammad Nasser al-Atifi  on Friday inspected the conditions of the Yemeni army forces on the fronts in the axes of  Najran and Hamdan bin Zeid.

He conveyed congratulations and praises of the leader of the revolution, Abdul -Malik al-Houthi to the army’s fighters and popular committees on the occasion of the National Day of Steadfastness and the great victories they achieve over the forces of evil and tyranny in all fields.

Al-Atifi confirmed that the eighth year will be a starting point towards more overwhelming victories against the invading aggressors.

“We would never have imagined that that there would be an attack from an Islamic state on another Islamic state. However, the Zionist occupation entity forced the aggression’s countries to attack Yemen. Therefore, the aggression on our country forced us, to respond to this cowardly attack.  It comes from the principle of legitimate defense to defend the homeland,” General Muhammad Nasser al-Atifi said, stressing “Yemenis will continue to fight, struggle, resist  until the liberation of the entire territory of Yemen.”

He called on the countries of Saudi-led aggression to understand the changes and developments of the current phase in all its strategic dimensions.

Moreover, he called on the aggression’s countries to stop their aggression, lift their siege and tend to the requirements of peace and stability in the region, unless the choices of the Yemeni people and their armed forces are multiple and able to impose them in defense of homeland, freedom and dignity.

He stressed that there are millions of free Yemenis with their hands on the trigger and ready to join the all-out offensive battle, if the aggressors continue their aggression and siege, the lions never starve.

Addressing  the citizens in Jizan, Najran, Asir, Hail, Qassim, Tabuk and all the  population of Najd and Hijaz, Al-Atifi said, “The Army of the Republic of Yemen has the morals of the mujahedeen and has not and will not target civilians at all.”
