The Statement's text

At a time our great Yemeni people celebrate the 57th anniversary of the Eternal September 26 Revolution, the Yemeni Islah Party is pleased to extend its highest congratulations to the political leadership represented by His Excellency the President of the Republic, Field Marshal Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, and to the masses of the Yemeni people at home and abroad, especially the heroes of the army and security on this historic occasion.

Today, as we celebrate this occasion, we celebrate the mother of the revolutions and the dawn of the new Yemen, which has liberated the Yemeni people from shadow of the epochs of darkness, weights of injustice and despotism and illusions of sacerdotalism and reactionism, which represented constraints for the great people to embark on to the future, build a state that guarantees all Yemenis have their rights, conserves their freedoms and achieves justice and equality, which were the ultimate goal of the September and October revolutions and the Yemeni fighters and liberals.

On this great day, the Yemenis had irrevocably shaken off the dust of the Imamate, and that the continuation of the struggle and sacrifice in the face of the Houthi terrorist militias is only an affirmation of the continuity of the September Revolution and the solidity of the popular will that eagers for freedom and rejects the Imamate and the priesthood.

As the September Revolution had paved the way for the launch of the glorious October 14 Revolution, it opened wide horizons for the Yemeni people struggling to achieve timeless national gains and look forward to a better tomorrow. Our people realized from an early date that the imamate and its obnoxious priestly project were the basis of the sickness and problems, where it isolated the people and practiced against them kinds of oppression and ignorance, and that the Republic is the lifebuoy from this dynastic project, which kept Yemen hostage for centuries.

And today, the Yemeni people are in front of a great national mission, which is to defeat the backlash of the Imami Project and thwart its plans and conspiracies targeting the people and their national project. And this necessitates the uniting of all national forces in order to save Yemen and eradicate this incurable disease for which the goals of the revolution were the salvation for the people.

And our people have proved that all the crimes of the Imamate Houthi militias cannot dissuade them from going on the path of liberation. And today, the people are more aware than ever that restoring their state is the gateway to a secure and stable future, and that circumventing legitimacy and the Alliance led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supporting it is the only way to defeat the coup and those behind it from regional projects that only want Yemen to be destroyed. And today, the people are still standing with the leverage of September to resist the priesthood and projects of fractionating.

The struggle of the Yemeni people and their great sacrifices represented a stumbling block in front of the Iranian sabotage project that targets the region and its security and stability and targets the controlling of the region through its arms that provide it with all forms of military, political, and logistical support. However, the Yemeni people are capable of defeating the tools of this project and defending the will of the Yemenis and their dreams and aspirations, and the protection of its Arab environment, with the support of their brothers, especially Saudi Arabia.

The international community should be aware that the will of the Yemenis will move forward, and that the international community should support this will and the Yemeni people and their legitimacy without delay to achieve regional and international peace and security.

We cannot fail to thank all the brothers and friends who stand by Yemen and its legitimacy and provide all forms of support, especially the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who represented support and reserve and still on the side of Yemen in the restoration of its country.

We renew our congratulations to the political leadership and our steadfast Yemeni people with all its national political and social forces, and the brave army and security men stationed in the plains, mountains and valleys to defend the goals of the Yemeni revolution.

Mercy and eternity for the martyrs, healing for the wounded and freedom for the abducted

Glory to the two revolutions of 26th September and 14th October

And victory for Yemen

The shame to the forces of the coup and the priesthood
