According to Yemen state television, Uleimi gave a speech on the anniversary of the October 14, 1963 Revolution, which broke out against British colonialism.
Emphasizing that the "Yemen Dawn" operation continues with determination, Uleimi said, "The Yemen Dawn operation is progressing towards its ultimate goal, which is to end the coup of the terrorist Houthi militias supported by the Iranian regime, to re-establish state institutions, and to concentrate weapons and war and peace decisions in the hands of constitutional institutions." he said.
Uleimi noted that this decision has now come into force and there is no turning back no matter what the sacrifices are.
Stating that the operation continues with the "sincere" support of Saudi Arabia, Uleimi said, "The launch of the Yemen Dawn operation came after the exhaustion of opportunities for calm and the Houthi militia's insistence on continuing the war and expanding their attacks on cities, villages, neighboring countries and international sea lanes." he said.
"The essence of the operation is the restoration of state institutions and the protection of citizens."
Uleymi stated the following regarding the main aims of the operation:
"The essence of the operation is the restoration of state institutions, the protection of citizens, the termination of the coup, the monopolization of weapons and the decision of war and peace by the state and its constitutional institutions. This ensures the rule of law, while preventing any armed group from seizing the will of the people, threatening the security of neighboring countries and international navigation lines."
Stating that temporary situations on the field will not deter the state from its responsibility to end the threat posed by the Houthis with the support of "brothers and friends", the Yemeni leader drew attention to the military escalation in the city of Taiz in the southwest of the country.
Uleimi stated that the threats in Taiz and other provinces reveal the importance of front unity and emphasized that the protection of civilians and the re-establishment of state institutions are an indivisible national responsibility.
Stating that Taiz, which paid a heavy price to defend the Republican regime, defended itself despite the attacks, Uleymi said, "Taiz, which bravely faced the siege for years, is strong enough to overcome this trouble. We trust in the resistance of the people, the determination of our armed forces, security forces and the heroes of the people's resistance. We will continue to work with all the means at our disposal to protect the city, reopen its roads and alleviate the suffering of its residents." he said.
Uleimi also added that they have instructed the government, local government and all relevant authorities to respond to urgent humanitarian needs, provide food and medicine, deliver aid to displaced persons and affected families, secure supply lines and open vital roads.
Conflicts in Yemen
President of the Yemeni Presidential Council Rashad Muhammad al-Ulaymi stated in his video broadcast on state television on October 5 that they launched comprehensive military operations to take back the lands held by the Houthis and establish state sovereignty throughout the country.
Civil war began in Yemen after the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and some provinces in September 2014. The Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened in the country in March 2015 in support of the Yemeni government.
The conflict, which started in July, became one of the largest-scale conflicts after the relative calm provided by the ceasefire that started in April 2022.
As the conflict intensified in September, the Houthis took control of some important regions in Hodeidah and Taiz provinces, including the strategically important city of Al-Maha (Moha), and advanced as far as Meyyun Island overlooking the Babulmandeb Strait.
