In a speech delivered on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the glorious October 14 Revolution, Al-Alimi stated that the revolution was not a fleeting event in history, but rather a pivotal moment that restored the will and voice of the Yemeni people, and was a rebirth for a homeland that resisted tyranny and colonialism in both the North and the South.

He also indicated the start of disbursing employee salaries and scheduling salary arrears as part of a comprehensive plan to improve the living situation.
Al-Alimi concluded his speech by affirming that Aden will remain the capital of the state and a stronghold of enlightenment and the spirit of resistance, and that the values of October will continue to be a beacon guiding generations towards a future of freedom, sovereignty, and sustainable development.
