Each one of these three comrades in arms, whose picture together went viral during the battle for Mokha's liberation in September, have all been martyred in the field of battle.
They gave their lives in the struggle to free Yemen from Saudi tyranny.
Ahmed Amin Almosawa, the Ansar-backed acting governor of Taiz, has directed the Yemen Petroleum Company’s local Taiz branch to supply fuel stations in central Taiz city through direct sales under official supervision.

A couple of weeks ago mbs said as a courtesy of the king, he will prepare official paperwork for all illegal Yemeni immigrant workers in ksa. The puppet govt confirmed it through the embassy.
Now this guy with a few of his friends told the story about what really happened when they applied to get official paperwork. He said they fooled them, took their biometrics and deported them. This guy said they were approx 600. I imagine the number is higher since there are many facilities across the country.
The Saudis have worked very hard to prevent Yemenis from extracting their resources, they have assassinated our best since the 1960s and they even paid mercs to kidnap tourists and prevent tourism from becoming a source of income. They have worked tirelessly to keep Yemen poor.
This pushed many Yemenis to immigrate to be able to feed their families. Now add 12 years of blockade, in addition to a very expensive ‘legal visa’ pushed even more people to immigrate illegally. Now these scum maliciously deported some of the poorest, most vulnerable Yemenis. All because they “want to help Yemen.”
Just more reasons for even more Yemenis to resist the Saudi oppressive regime.
رشاد العليمي يتآمر من السعودية على طرد العمالة اليمنية الغير قانونية من السعودية
المؤامرة بدائت بمطالبة رشاد العليمي من قيادة السعودية في تصحيح أوضاع الغير قانونيين
وافقت السعودية على هذا الطلب واصدرت تعليمات بذلك
اطمئن المخالفين وذهبوا الى فروع القنصليات اليمنية في السعودية وتم منحهم الأوراق المطلوبة (وتوثقيهم)
عندما يذهب المخالف الى الجهات السعودية لاستخراج اوراق رسمية يقومون بتبصيمهم وتوثيقهم ثم ترحيلهم
العليمي عدو الشعب اليمني حتى الذين في الخارج
Yemeni President Mahdi Almashat's message to the Yemeni people at home and abroad, and the Islamic nation at large, on the 100th day since Saudi Arabia escalated its aggression on Yemen. Translated in full:
"Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. May peace and blessings be upon His faithful Messenger, Muhammad, his pure and noble family, and his righteous companions.
My dear Yemeni people, at home and abroad,
I address you today, more than one hundred days after the Saudi enemy resumed its escalation and Yemen launched its campaign to break the blockade by responding to escalation with escalation.
This marks a new phase in our struggle and resistance. It was not triggered by a single incident or airstrike, but is part of a struggle that has continued for twelve years, sustained by your courage, perseverance, and extraordinary patience. It is also another chapter in the divine support and promised victory that will prevail over the unjust aggression and blockade imposed by the Saudi regime under American supervision.
My dear Yemeni people,
At dawn on March 26, 2015, our peaceful nation awoke to a treacherous act of aggression led by the Saudi regime. American and Western aircraft, operating under its command, bombed the homes of Yemeni citizens, their mosques and schools, wedding halls and mourning gatherings, civilian and military institutions, and the infrastructure our people had built over decades. This assault was launched without any justification.
Faced with this unjust Saudi aggression and blockade, our people stood united. The tribes rallied behind the armed forces and security services, public employees remained at their posts, and convoys of volunteers and food supplies headed to the front lines. The price of resistance was immense. Tens of thousands of innocent people were killed by Saudi enemy aircraft, and our nation lost countless great martyrs, foremost among them the martyred President Saleh al-Sammad. Our infrastructure was devastated, and Yemen was plunged into what the United Nations itself has described as the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
Yet the Yemeni people confronted this injustice and criminality by placing their trust in God and preparing to defend their country. They inflicted painful blows on the enemy, striking its military bases and oil installations and establishing a balance of deterrence.
At the same time, we pursued negotiations in good faith and made concessions that respected our nation's fundamental principles and supreme interests. The most recent of these efforts were the de-escalation understandings reached with the Saudi regime in 2022. They called for a permanent ceasefire, the lifting of the blockade, the payment of salaries, the restoration of the Yemeni people's access to their national resources, the reopening of crossings, prisoner exchanges, and the resolution of humanitarian issues, while leaving the most complex questions for later negotiations. The parties were also to proceed with the implementation of the roadmap that emerged from these understandings.
The Saudi enemy, however, abandoned its commitments. It mistook our persistent calls for peace for a sign of weakness and, acting under American and Zionist direction, reneged on the roadmap. It broke its promises to punish the Yemeni people for standing in solidarity with their brothers and sisters in Palestine and Gaza. It maintained its blockade, tightened its restrictions, and imposed further economic measures that deepened the suffering of our already oppressed people.
(Continued)
Brothers and sisters,
In recent months, we have observed the Saudi regime stepping up its military preparations for a renewed assault on Yemen. It has mobilized forces, trained its mercenaries, assembled military formations, and supplied them with weapons of every kind.
On July 13, it launched the escalation it had been preparing for, attacking and bombing Sana'a International Airport to prevent a plane carrying patients and stranded passengers from landing. This was a deliberate act intended to reinforce the blockade and demonstrate its determination to continue its crimes, further aggravating the suffering of more than thirty million Yemenis.
In response, millions of Yemenis took to the streets and public squares, demanding an end to the unjust Saudi aggression and blockade and the recovery of the nation's national resources. These resources had once funded the salaries of more than one million public employees across northern and southern Yemen.
Our wise leadership, represented by Leader Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, may God protect him, responded to these demands. The Yemeni army then began implementing the principle of blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation.
Despite the Yemeni army's adherence to the ethics of warfare and Islamic principles, the criminal Saudi regime continued to target civilians. It launched approximately 3,000 airstrikes, killing more than 562 civilians, most of them women and children.
When the Saudi regime realized that it could not stop Yemen's defensive operations, it resorted to fabrications and false accusations, claiming that Mecca and Medina had been targeted. It sought to exploit the religious significance of these holy cities to turn the Islamic world against Yemen. But its efforts were undermined by the awareness of Muslim peoples, who understand the Saudi regime's true nature, its record of aggression, and its desecration of holy sites.
O members of our Islamic nation,
The Saudi regime's repeated fabrications and false accusations against Yemen, including its claims that Yemen has targeted Medina, expose the extent of its failure and desperation. This criminal regime continues to act in accordance with Zionist plans.
We hold the Saudi regime fully responsible for any attack on Mecca, the pilgrims and other guests of the Sacred House of God, Medina, or the Noble Prophet's Mosque, may the finest prayers and peace be upon the Prophet and his family. We also hold it responsible for any attempt to falsely attribute such an attack to the Muslim people of Yemen.
If the Saudi regime commits such a reckless act, the Islamic nation will not remain silent. Its scholars, peoples, intellectuals, and youth will speak out and take concrete action to defend Mecca, Medina, and the holy sites by every means available. At the forefront will be the Yemeni people, a nation of faith and wisdom and a proud Muslim nation in its own right.
For us, the sanctity of these holy places is a red line.
We therefore renew our call to all governments and organizations that have issued statements or adopted positions endorsing the Saudi regime's false accusations against our people: reconsider your positions and abide by the teachings of Islam, which require the verification of reports before judgments are passed. The Yemeni people reserve their legal and moral right to respond to these actions.
The Republic of Yemen has a just and legitimate cause: to end the unjust Saudi aggression and blockade that have been imposed on our country for twelve years. The legitimacy of our position is grounded in the Holy Quran and in our adherence to the words of God:
"Whoever transgresses against you, then transgress against him in the same manner that he transgressed against you."
(Continued)
We will therefore continue to pursue an end to the aggression and blockade by every means available. We welcome all fair and just efforts and initiatives that can bring an end to the unjust Saudi aggression and blockade against our people, address humanitarian issues, provide redress for the harm inflicted on Yemen by this brutal aggression, and ensure respect for our country's sovereignty and independence in accordance with international principles and conventions.
We also warmly welcome the initiative launched by Al-Azhar Al-Sharif in the sisterly Arab Republic of Egypt, in keeping with the words of God: "Reconciliation is best."
Any initiative aimed at achieving peace along these lines will receive our support. Its success will depend on the sincere commitment of both the mediators and the parties involved. Peace comes at a lower cost, offers greater benefits, and stands a better chance of lasting.
We reaffirm our unwavering principled and religious commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and upholding Palestine and the Noble Al-Aqsa Mosque as the central cause of the Islamic nation.
We call for the formation of an Islamic alliance to confront the dangers and challenges facing our nation, foremost among them the Zionist enemy and the American project. We also call for the resolution of disputes and conflicts between Islamic countries, the strengthening of Islamic brotherhood and unity, and the development of closer relations and cooperation across all fields.
We reiterate that maritime navigation remains safe. The threat to its security comes from the Saudi regime's attempt to turn the Bab al-Mandab Strait into a war zone. We call on the international community to condemn this conduct.
In closing, we assure our beloved Yemeni people that, by God's grace and with His help, we have a range of options, including unexpected ones, to secure our rights. We will press forward, placing our trust in God, confident in His promised victory and steadfast in our belief in the justice of our cause. We will endure hardship with patience and stand firm as mountains rooted deep in the earth.
We will never abandon our efforts to reclaim our rights, even if doing so demands that we sacrifice our lives for the sake of God and this noble cause.
The ultimate victory belongs to the righteous, and aggression is directed only against the oppressors.
May God have mercy on our martyrs, grant healing to our wounded, bring relief and freedom to our prisoners, and grant victory to our beloved Yemen.
God prevails in His affairs, though most people do not know it.
Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings."
Yes. Negotiations are ongoing. Available details have been reported by @bonzerbarry. Ansar forces remain adamant that Taiz be handed over with a peaceful settlement.

Al Jazeera's reporting has focused more on the fake collective outrage over the fake accusations that Yemen is attacking Mecca & Madina than on the actual human beings in Yemen that Saudi Arabia has been massacring daily.
The Muslim World League has strongly condemned Houthi attacks targeting the cities of Mecca and Medina, adding that it stands in full solidarity with Saudi Arabia.

إن الحرب في اليمن مأساة عظيمة فهي حرب بين الإخوة والسعودية هي من تؤجج نيرانها.
ومن مصلحة الجميع أن تُقطع اليد السعودية الخبيثة وأن تُردع السعودية وتُؤدب حتى لا تتدخل مرة أخرى.

إلى كل الأحرار في العالم:
مأساة غزة لها وجعٌ يشبهها في اليمن.. مجا//زر وقصف وحصار وتجويع. تحالف العدوان بقيادة السعودية استخدم ذخائر عنقودية أميركية، والرئيس الأميركي دونالد ترامب نفسه تحدث عن المساعدة التي قدّمتها إسرائيل للسعودية.

I appreciate your engagement with the victories of the Yemeni armed forces, but I hope you will also engage by sharing tweets that expose Saudi Arabia's crimes in Yemen.
Unfortunately, tweets exposing Saudi Arabia's crimes in Yemen don't receive enough attention and sharing. While it's true that the X algorithm works to suppress such tweets, we also inadvertently help the algorithms when we don't engage with them.

The Sana'a government in Yemen satisfies all four core criteria for statehood under the 1933 Montevideo Convention: a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Territorial disputes do not, in themselves, negate statehood. By these criteria, Sana'a possesses the essential attributes of a state, regardless of arguments to the contrary. That may be a hard pill to swallow, but political discomfort does not alter material reality.
As the authority exercising effective control over a population, it bears responsibilities towards that population, including the obligation to protect it. Its status as a governing authority with the essential attributes of statehood under international law cannot simply be dismissed by labelling it a terrorist group. The exercise of governmental authority and the question of statehood must be assessed on their merits, rather than reduced to political labels.
One could equally question whether the Saudi-backed, exiled regime possesses genuine independence in its external relations if its ability to engage with other states is contingent upon prior Saudi approval. Such a relationship would raise serious questions about its capacity to conduct international relations independently, one of the criteria outlined in Article 1(d) of the Convention.
Statehood is not contingent upon international recognition. Nor does the absence of recognition, in itself, extinguish a state's right to defend itself, its territorial integrity, or its independence.
That's the material reality, and one that is hard to shake with illusions. After a decade of war, it's time to recognize Sana'a's statehood as a political and legal reality.

🇾🇪 Yemen’s Parliament Responds to the European Parliament
Speaker of Yemen’s House of Representatives Yahya Ali Al-Ra’i condemns the European Parliament’s latest position on Yemen as biased and selective, arguing that it echoes the Saudi narrative and provides political cover for war crimes against Yemen.
He accuses the European Parliament of ignoring years of war, blockade, and suffering in Yemen, while overlooking the genocide, killings, siege, and starvation inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza.
Al-Ra’i argues that if the European Parliament is serious about fighting terrorism and upholding international law, it should confront Israel’s actions in Gaza rather than apply double standards to Yemen.
He also rejects attempts to portray Yemen as a threat to international maritime security, pointing to Sanaa’s stated commitment to safe navigation.
His call: Send a parliamentary delegation to Yemen to witness firsthand the consequences of the Saudi-led war and the suffering of the Yemeni people.
