Shabwa Governor: National Steadfastness Day highlights Yemen’s triumph in redefining military equations
SANAA, March 27 (YPA) -The Governor of Shabwa province in Sanaa government, Awad Mohammed bin Farid al-Awlaqi, affirmed that “National Steadfastness Day” represents a timeless national epic authored by the blood and sacrifices of the Yemeni people.
He emphasized that the path of defiance and steadfastness was a conscious choice to reject subjugation and confront international agendas targeting Yemen.
In a statement marking the 11th anniversary of National Steadfastness Day (March 26), Al-Awlaqi explained that this resilience—forged by all segments of society, including tribes, social components, cultural elites, and the revolutionary and military leadership—acted as an “impenetrable shield” against which the ambitions of aggressors were shattered.
The Governor pointed out that the fruits of this steadfastness are evident in Yemen’s current military capabilities. He asserted that the Yemeni Armed Forces now possess the strength and resolve to shift military equations, citing the “victory over major powers in the Red Sea” and the withdrawal of American warships in the face of Yemeni operations during the “Support for Gaza” battle, which has continued for over two years.
Al-Awlaqi revisited the events of March 26, 2015, describing the intervention as a “blatant aggression” lacking any legal or moral justification. He held the Saudi-Emirati coalition, supported by the United States and the Zionist entity, responsible for committing atrocities and imposing a starvation blockade against the Yemeni people. He noted that these crimes serve as clear evidence of the aggressors’ disregard for the principles of neighborliness, Arabism, and Islam.
Concluding his statement, the Governor of Shabwa praised the principled positions of the Yemeni leadership and people in supporting regional allies. He expressed full support for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s right to defend its sovereignty and security against “American-Israeli aggression,” highlighting the shared struggle against foreign interventions in the region.
