"But not by their military might which did not even qualify them to take over the village of Dammaj" in Saada in 2013.
"The Houthis achieved what they achieved only by exploiting the contradictions that were prevailing the political activity in the country. The militias exploited that to advance until they arrived in the capital Sana'a," he said.

"They believe in no charter of covenant. While others may be prioritizing the country's interest and signing deals [with them], the Houthis seize the opportunity to conduct elimination assasinations to achieve their goals."

The Vice President congratulated the people on the nearing occasion of 26th September Revolution and hailed the heroic performances of the Maribi people in defending the Republic of Yemen against the Iran-aligned militias.
