Tribes of Marib Renew Support for “Dawn of Yemen” Campaign

Tribes from Marib and Al-Abdiyah in Marib Governorate have reaffirmed their commitment to the “Dawn of Yemen” campaign, which aims to restore state institutions and end the Houthi militia’s insurgency. They emphasized their dedication to republican principles and support for constitutional legitimacy, as well as the military and security institutions.

National Mobilization Announced

In a statement released during a tribal gathering, which the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) received a copy of, the tribes declared a national mobilization to support the armed forces and popular resistance on the front lines. They showcased symbolic military displays that reflected their readiness to contribute to the battle for state restoration.

Commitment to Revolutionary Principles

The statement highlighted the tribes’ adherence to the principles of the September 26 Revolution and their ongoing public mobilization. They expressed support for the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad Muhammad Al-Alimi, and his decisions. The tribes called on their members to unite around national constants and avoid being swayed by positions that do not reflect tribal values and principles.

Support for Presidential Initiative

The tribes praised the presidential initiative regarding amnesty and the opening of safe return for anyone who leaves the ranks of the Houthi militia and ceases fighting. They urged citizens in Houthi-controlled areas not to respond to recruitment efforts or involve their children in battles that harm Yemeni interests and serve Iran’s expansionist agenda and its negotiating leverage related to its nuclear and missile programs.

Acknowledgment of Armed Forces’ Sacrifices

The statement commended the sacrifices made by the armed forces across various formations and the popular resistance. It also recognized the patriotic stances of the people from Lahij and Taiz Governorates.

Condemnation of Houthi Blockade

The tribes condemned the blockade imposed by the Houthi militia on the city of Taiz, home to nearly two million residents. They criticized the militia for preventing the entry of food, medicine, water, fuel, and other essential humanitarian needs, as well as the systematic bombardment of residential neighborhoods and villages, which targets civilians. They described these actions as war crimes that do not expire over time.

Appreciation for Saudi Support

In their statement, the tribes expressed gratitude for the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, led by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for Yemen and its constitutional legitimacy and institutions. They condemned the ongoing attacks by the Houthi militia, backed by the Iranian regime, against Saudi Arabia and its civilian, industrial, and Islamic holy sites in Mecca and Medina.

Rejection of Iranian Use of Yemeni Territory

The tribes firmly rejected Iran’s use of Yemeni territory controlled by the Houthi militia as a platform to target Saudi Arabia and threaten international navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, as well as global energy security and international supply chains. They declared their solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its right to defend its security and sovereignty.
