A tribal uprising has erupted against Saudi Arabia and its mercenaries in the "Al-Ulum" area of Taiz Governorate—a recently liberated region that is also the birthplace of Rashad al-Alimi, the Saudi-backed Yemeni president. The tribes chanted: "Wake up, Saudi! No more guardianship from this day forward The tribes of Taiz in particular, and the tribes of Yemen in general, all stand united with the Yemeni armed forces against Saudi Arabia and for the liberation of Yemen from Saudi-American-Zionist imperialist occupation, hegemony, and guardianship.

Some people ask me, with surprise, how I can be from Taiz and support Ansar Allah, despite not being Shia. I must clarify that, in Yemen, we generally do not operate along sectarian lines. We are all united under the banner of Ansar Allah—Sunnis and Shias alike—standing together against occupation and Saudi-led aggression. The Yemeni Armed Forces and the government are composed of members from all sects, both Sunni and Shia; we are all Yemenis, and we are brothers. Ansar Allah is not a political party, a faction, or a sect. The term "Ansar Allah" signifies a "nation" or a "community" that anyone can join—even those from outside Yemen, and indeed, even non-Muslims. Anyone can be part of Ansar Allah, provided they believe in Allah and oppose imperialism and Zionism. This also applies to the blessed September 21, 2014 revolution led by Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in which most of the Yemeni people from all sects and Yemeni cities participated. Therefore, everyone should know that there is no sectarianism in Yemen. It should be noted that Saudi Arabia attempted to fuel sectarian and regional strife in Yemen, but failed due to the wisdom of the Yemeni people and the wisdom of the Yemeni revolutionary, political, and military leadership. Saudi Arabia, America, and Israel were unable to achieve their objectives in Yemen.
