Operation "Yemen Dawn" was launched on Monday with the aim of restoring state institutions and liberating the capital, Sana'a, from the control of the Houthi militias that overthrew the legitimate government in 2014. It comes in the context of ongoing efforts to regain control over Yemeni territory with the support of the Saudi-led coalition supporting legitimacy.
Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, Chairman of the Yemeni Presidential Command Council, confirmed that Operation “Yemen Dawn” is proceeding according to the approved plans until the restoration of state institutions and the liberation of the capital, Sana’a, indicating that the successes achieved on various fronts reflect the level of preparedness and coordination between the armed forces and all military formations, and the effective support of the “Coalition to Support Legitimacy.”
During a series of calls he made with members of the Command Council, the Minister of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff and a number of military leaders and commanders of axes and fronts, Al-Alimi praised the field progress achieved by the armed forces and all military formations, and the valor, discipline and high coordination they and the popular resistance demonstrated, praising in particular the important successes on the western coast front of Taiz Governorate, the recovery of strategic areas and sites in Dhubab and Bab al-Mandab, and securing this vital waterway.
He also praised the support provided by the “Coalition to Support Legitimacy” led by Saudi Arabia to the Yemeni armed forces, stressing that the impact of this support is not limited to restoring state institutions and protecting the country’s security and stability, but rather extends to strengthening the steadfastness of national institutions, supporting the economy, and alleviating the human and living suffering caused by the terrorist Houthi militias.
During the series of communications, Al-Alimi was briefed on the progress of the “Yemen Dawn” operation, which was launched on Monday, to restore state institutions, liberate the capital, Sana’a, and end the coup by the terrorist Houthi militias.

The Chairman of the Command Council stressed that every progress achieved by the armed forces must be accompanied by the protection of civilians and public and private property, and with behavior that embodies the values of the Republic and the prestige of the law, stressing that the mission is not only to restore the land, but to restore the state to it, with what it means in terms of security, justice, institutions, services, and protection of the rights of citizens.
An invitation to those who have been deceived to take advantage of the announced amnesty
The Chairman of the Yemeni Leadership Council renewed his call to citizens in areas forcefully under the control of the Houthi militias not to be drawn into its attempts to throw them into battles, and to stay away from its sites and military gatherings, stressing that these operations are not a war against citizens, their regions, or their affiliations, but rather the state’s battle for its citizens, to restore its institutions, and to protect the rights and dignity of all Yemenis.
He also called on those who were deceived into the ranks of the militias to seize the opportunity of safe return and declared amnesty, to lay down their arms, stop fighting, and return to their families and homeland, reassuring that the door will remain open to everyone who sides with the state and the national interest in accordance with the announced procedures.
Al-Alimi stressed the implementation of the measures taken by the National Defense Council related to strict adherence to the rules of military law and discipline, and preserving the lives and dignity of detainees and the wounded, stressing that no acts of retaliation or individual practices that harm the values of the armed forces and state institutions are permitted.
