Scholar Muftah: The Martyrs Built Yemen’s Glory and Shaped Its Free Identity
In his speech before the crowd, Scholar Muftah affirmed that martyrs are symbols of dignity, beacons of guidance, and role models for generations, and that their noble sacrifices have drawn the features of pride and steadfastness in the face of tyranny and arrogance.
He stated that the pure blood of the martyrs granted Yemen its leading position in confronting the most powerful forces of American and Zionist aggression. Commemorating this anniversary, he said, is an embodiment of loyalty to those great souls who were true to their covenant with God and sacrificed themselves in defense of faith, homeland, and human dignity.
Muftah added that honoring the martyrs is not a mere symbolic event, but a renewal of the pledge to continue their path of faith and struggle — and a reminder of the lessons of sacrifice and steadfastness that immortalized their names in history. He emphasized that Yemen today is reaping the fruits of those pure sacrifices through its legendary resilience against aggression and blockade.
Yemenis Continue the Path of the Martyrs with Faith and Resolve
The Acting Prime Minister pointed out that the free people of Yemen continue walking in the footsteps of the martyrs on the path of liberation and independence, armed with faith, awareness, and insight that empower them to confront American and Zionist conspiracies.
He praised the heroic contributions of the mujahideen on various fronts, whose immortal epics have become a model of defiance against the forces of evil and tyranny.
Muftah also highlighted that the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation reaffirmed the deep spiritual and principled bond between Yemen and Palestine, noting that Yemen’s free people are today an integral part of the Axis of Resistance confronting the Zionist entity and its regional tools.
Youth — The Vanguard of the Nation in the Battle of Awareness and Reconstruction
The scholar praised the role of Yemeni youth, describing them as the vanguard of the nation in resisting soft warfare and intellectual and media invasion. He affirmed that Yemeni youth combine both the spirit of struggle and the drive for development, carrying the banner of awareness, progress, and faith.
He commended the national vision of the Ministry of Youth and Sports in developing talents, empowering young leaders, and promoting initiative and creativity — all of which strengthen national resilience and responsibility in facing ongoing challenges.
The Ministry’s Duty — Building a Faithful and Resistant Generation
The Acting Prime Minister called on the Ministry to continue its efforts to nurture young talents, embrace creative potential, and enhance cultural, athletic, and intellectual capabilities. This, he said, reinforces the spirit of belonging and instills a culture of steadfastness and faith in the cause and the just struggle against aggression.
