Millions in Sana’a Rally for Gaza in Defiant Response to Sayyed Houthi’s Call
Yemen Declares Full Mobilization as Al-Sabeen Square Becomes the Heartbeat of Regional Resistance Against Zionist Aggression
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM - In a scene of solemn determination and unshakable resolve, Al-Sabeen Square in the capital Sana’a witnessed a historic million-strong march on Friday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the Leader of the Yemeni Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, called upon the nation to rise in defense of Gaza and the sanctities of the Muslim Ummah.
Held under the slogan “We Will Not Tolerate Gaza’s Genocide or the Violation of Our Nation and Sanctities,” the march drew millions of Yemenis from across the capital and Sana’a Governorate.
Overflowing designated areas and pouring into surrounding streets, the masses continued arriving until the final moments of the event, displaying an unparalleled level of collective urgency and unity.
The square itself was transformed into a sea of Yemeni and Palestinian flags, interwoven with banners of the Axis of Resistance. Thunderous chants echoed across Sana’a, condemning the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza and declaring Yemen’s unwavering stance.
A Response of Faith, Humanity, and Honor
The scale and fervor of the march reflected a profound and genuine response to Sayyed Abdulmalik’s appeal—an appeal grounded in spiritual duty, moral consciousness, and human dignity.
With Zionist crimes in Gaza escalating—marked by starvation, indiscriminate bombing, and the systematic targeting of women, children, and the elderly—Yemen’s voice rose louder and clearer than ever before.
Participants described the moment as one of “divine responsibility,” asserting that silence in the face of such atrocities was tantamount to complicity.
Nationwide Call for General Mobilization
The crowd collectively declared a state of general mobilization, urging an increase in:
Recruitment and preparedness efforts
Expansion of Al-Aqsa Flood training courses
Nationwide participation in “The Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad”
There were repeated calls for neighboring Arab countries to open crossings for Yemeni fighters to reach Gaza, condemning the continued inaction of regimes that boast of Islamic identity while blocking aid and fighters from reaching the battlefield.
The masses endorsed Sayyed Abdulmalik’s announcement of “additional escalatory measures in the coming phase,” authorizing him to take all necessary steps in confronting Zionist aggression and supporting Palestine—militarily, morally, and logistically.
Speech from Yemen’s Grand Mufti: “Scholars Must Lead the Way”
Prior to the formal reading of the march’s final statement, Yemen’s Grand Mufti, Allamah Shamsuddin Sharafuddin, addressed the Ummah with a powerful reminder of religious duty.
“The scholars of frontline nations bear the greatest obligation, but no Islamic country is exempt—even those farthest away. All are accountable before Allah to stand with Palestine,” he said.
Sharafuddin expressed sorrow over the silence of most scholars across the Muslim world:
“Where is the mercy? Where is the compassion? Where is your zeal for your brothers dying daily of hunger while you watch unmoved?!”
He praised the few scholars who had issued fatwas calling for jihad and urged others to awaken before it was too late.
Final Declaration of the March: A Message to the World
In a joint statement read aloud by Mufti Sharafuddin, the Yemeni masses declared:
“We march today with hearts aching for our beloved in Gaza, enduring the worst crimes of slaughter, terror, and systematic starvation—betrayed from within and besieged from without.”
The statement denounced Arab regimes complicit in blocking Yemenis from reaching Gaza, and condemned the broader Islamic world’s silence as Palestinians face extermination with banned weapons while being deprived of food, water, and aid.
Holding the U.S. and the Zionist regime fully responsible for the genocide in Gaza, the statement declared that starvation is now being wielded as a weapon—an act that exposes the hypocrisy of those who claim to champion human rights and moral values.
It also called out Arab rulers who have remained passive or aligned with the enemy, enabling the continuation of atrocities.
Unconditional Readiness to Confront Zionist Aggression
The declaration concluded with a firm and unconditional pledge:
“We affirm our full readiness to bear the consequences of any decision to confront the enemy and relieve Gaza.”
“Our support for Gaza stems from faith in Allah, His Book, and His Messenger. We trust in His promise: victory for the righteous, ruin for the criminals—as all history testifies.”
This final vow resounded across Al-Sabeen Square, encapsulating Yemen’s message to the world: Gaza is not alone, and resistance—fueled by faith, truth, and justice—will not be extinguished. (PW)
