Yemenis Praise Al-Alimi’s Speech, Hailing It as the “Best National Address” and a Symbol of Unity Among All Factions

Yemen Monitor – Newsroom:

The Yemeni political scene has witnessed a new clarity in positions following a powerful speech by President Rashad Alimi. Yemeni activists have regarded it as the best national address in years, expressing the voice of the citizen and representing the unity of all political factions within the framework of legitimacy.

Citizens and activists praised Alimi’s speech as a historic moment that reshapes Yemen’s political path, especially with its emphasis on expelling Emirati forces—described by some as the “Arab devil”—from Yemeni territory. This was seen as a decisive step that reinforces Yemeni state sovereignty.

Activists also expressed deep gratitude for the significant role played by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in supporting Yemen and realigning its political compass toward noble goals in facing current challenges.

Despite the strong statements and decisive decisions announced in the speech, questions remain regarding their implementation on the ground and whether the political and security landscape will witness tangible developments reflecting the spirit of this long-awaited national address.

According to local sources, the speech conveys important messages reflecting the determination of Yemen’s political leadership to accept ongoing Saudi support in confronting regional influences, while awaiting the activation of the stated positions and their real impact on the interests of the Yemeni people and their political future.
