Hodeidah Governorate marked the anniversary of the martyrdom of President Saleh Al-Sammad with a large official and public gathering, reaffirming his national significance and enduring legacy in the struggle for Yemen.

He was a model of loyalty, deeply connected to his people, and presented remarkable examples of selflessness in defense of the homeland,” he stated.
Halisi highlighted Al-Sammad’s unwavering commitment to Yemen’s independence and resilience, drawing inspiration from the Quranic principles laid down by martyr leader Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi. He urged the continuation of Al-Sammad’s path in various aspects of national development.

He underscored the need to uphold Al-Sammad’s vision, reinforcing national resilience and readiness to confront challenges. He further stated that Al-Sammad’s assassination was an attack on Yemen’s aspirations for a modern, independent state, yet the Yemeni people remain steadfast in their pursuit of sovereignty and freedom.
