The spokesperson for Yemen’s Armed Forces [YAF], Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, stressed that Sanaa is ready to “engage in battles to defend the homeland and the people.”
His remarks came on the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the September 21 revolution .
Brigadier General Sare’e said the Yemeni forces are ready to deal with any development “in case the [Saudi-led coalition] does not adhere to” Yemen’s demands for a peace deal that will “achieve the legitimate, just, and fair aspirations of the Yemeni people.”
The spokesperson reiterated Sanaa’s position in a post on X, saying, “There [will be] no peace without ending the aggression, lifting the blockade, and the withdrawal of foreign forces” from Yemen, adding that other demands of the Yemeni people need to be met before peace is achieved.
Moreover, he vowed that Yemen’s Armed Forces will be doubling their combat readiness in the coming weeks to respond practically and responsibly to ensure that coalition forces remain deterred in case of any negative developments.
In conclusion, Sare’e said the Yemeni people “believe that peace has never and will never be achieved except by imposing deterrent military equations that force the enemy to comply with all legitimate and just demands.”
