Vigils held in capital Sanaa to commemorate departure of US marines

SANAA, Feb. 11 (YPA) – The people of the capital, Sanaa, organized, after Friday prayers, vigils to commemorate the departure of the US Marines from Sana’a on February 11, 2015.

The participants in the vigils emphasized that the US used to be the decision-maker in Yemen and sought to tear the society of the Yemeni people, spread drugs and corruption, and assassinate, detonate, and commit crimes in Sana’a and other governorates.

They pointed out that the project of the martyr leader Hussain al-Houthi, and his conscious movement towards the challenges that the nation was experiencing, was a lifeline to lift it out of the state of weakness, humiliation and diaspora that afflicted it.

The participants also pointed out that the September 21 revolution thwarted the project to occupy Yemen and ended the foreign tutelage.

A statement issued by the vigils stressed the importance of remembering this day and the bad attitudes and situation that was witnessed by the Yemeni People before the September 21 revolution in all fields.

They denounced in the strongest terms the Saudi regime’s attack and arrest of the Yemeni resident Marwa Al-Sabri, and sentencing her to a full year in prison just for saying a word of truth, stressing that the Yemeni people will not stand idly by in front of these crimes, demanding her release without condition.
