Al-Zandani: The Declaration of Mobilization and National Alert is an Expression of Every Yemeni's Responsibility to End the Houthi Coup

The Yemeni Prime Minister, Sha'if Al-Zindani, affirmed that the declaration of general mobilization and national alert embodies the nature of the current phase and translates the responsibility of every Yemeni in defending the republican system and state institutions, leading to the end of the Houthi coup and the establishment of state sovereignty over the entire national territory.

Al-Zindani clarified, during his visit to the wounded government forces at Aboud Military Hospital in the temporary capital, Aden, that this national obligation complements the sacrifices of those stationed at the frontlines who are engaged in a decisive battle against the Iranian-backed Houthi militia.

The Prime Minister emphasized the necessity of raising the readiness level of hospitals and health facilities, both military and civilian, to face the repercussions of the Houthi military escalation and to respond to the increasing medical and humanitarian needs.

Al-Zindani pointed out that the government is dealing with the developments as an "exceptional phase" that requires the highest levels of coordination and readiness, not only on the military confrontation lines but also including the service and humanitarian system, considering the health sector as a main support line for the armed forces.

The Prime Minister also renewed the state's commitment and care for the wounded and injured, affirming that the sacrifices made will remain a fundamental pillar in the path of completing the liberation of the country and restoring its institutions and the rule of law.

The statement from the Yemeni Prime Minister comes a day after the announcement by the President of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Alimi, of a state of general mobilization and national alert, in a move to confront the escalation of the Iran-backed Houthi militia.

Alimi launched a national call to take up arms and urged citizens to "contribute in every possible way" to the fight against the Houthis.

He also announced an immediate amnesty for Houthi fighters who decide to defect from the group.
