Adnan al-Addini: Disagreements Won’t Prevent Yemenis from Uniting Against the Houthi Imamite Project

Adnan al-Addini, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Islah Party, stressed that internal disagreements within the republican camp will not hinder Yemenis from uniting against the Houthi militia’s Imamite project.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), al-Addini stated, "On February 11, 14 years ago, the Yemeni people took to the streets peacefully in a progressive and exceptional scene, seeking a better future, a strong state, and a dignified life after the political system's deadlock and the ongoing regression toward the unknown."

He added, "Indeed, February achieved its goal with a smooth transition and the national dialogue project, involving all political factions. It was on the verge of healing past wounds and completing the transitional process, preparing for a referendum on the new constitution, before the Iran-backed Houthi militia overturned the political path and the people's will with force, in an ongoing attempt since late 2014 to return the great Yemeni people—who have a deep-rooted civilization—back to the regressive Imamite system and integrate them into Iran’s project."

Al-Addini emphasized that since then, the Yemeni people have been consistently proclaiming: "This will not happen. We are a free people," and added, "This is who we were, and this is who we will remain. We will resist the Imamite system, and no internal divisions will divide us."

The Islah Party spokesperson reiterated that "the chains broken by our fathers and grandfathers on September 26, 1962, will not be returned to the hands, feet, or necks of Yemenis by any force on earth."

This discussion comes to the forefront once again on the anniversary of the 2011 protests that ousted former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the leader of the General People's Congress Party, who later allied with the Houthis to carry out a coup against the state and the outcomes of the national dialogue in 2014.
