In his first appearance since the Saudi air strikes on Yemen, head of the Houthi movement Abdel Malik al-Houthi gave a speech in which he denounced the Arab coalition involved in the military intervention as puppets of the west.
The live speech was aired on the Houthi al-Masirah television channel.
Al-Houthi said that Yemen’s people will oppose “criminal, unjust and unjustified aggression” by Saudi Arabia.
“Our Yemeni people are more resolved and determined to defend themselves, to defend their freedom and defend its dignity,” he stated.
