Yemen's President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi said on Saturday that his country is facing conspiracies as it battles with the terrorist Houthi militia that has been battling his government for seven years.
In an address to the nation on the eve of the 59th anniversary of the 26 September Revolution against the Imamite theocratic rulers, the ancestors of today's Houthis, Hadi said, "There is no doubt that our country today is facing overwhelming challenges and conspiracies. But the greatness of a nation lies in their ability to hold fast."
In his rare chance to speak about what is going on in his country and threatening his own rule, Hadi also called for national unity of all anti-Houthi resistance and said the Yemeni people "have no choice but to restore their state."
Hadi said in his address published by the state-run news agency, Saba, that the Houthis have become "exposed as a dynastic group that glorifies one bloodline over an entire nation, as a religious group that believes in the divine right to rule over Yemen, as a sectarian group that seeks to divide Yemen along a loathsome sectarian fault line and as thieves who want to monopolize the livelihood of the Yemeni people for the sake of their criminal militia."
Hadi said the militia have made wreaked havoc all over Yemen and have brought upon Yemen "immense suffering" for seven years.
"The pages of our history and testimonies of the world's freemen and intellectuals, have conveyed to us a lot of knowledge on the backwardness and bigotry of the racist theocratic Imamite reign against whom the glorious 26 September Revolution set off," he said.
"Despite all those records and testimonies asserting the brutality and horrific nature of the Imamite, Hadi said, many [Yemenis] were not fully cognizant what it is exactly like until the long lurking remnants of racist dynastic Imamites made the jump again to our present, seized the country's capital and invaded its cities in this same month of 2014."
He said that "the return of this vengeful dynastic gang in the present time has betrayed to the world their catastrophic danger to our people, the region, the world and the international peace and security."
He said ,"What we need to recognize and realize without a doubt is that deliverance from this militia won't be materialized to our people without the sufficient struggle to end this nightmare like our brave forefathers did."
