Al-Alimi also remarked, "Our people, confident in your determination and steadfastness, are counting on you and all loyalists to move forward with unbreakable will and resolve, overcoming all difficulties to fulfill their aspirations of ending the Houthi coup, restoring the state and its institutions, and achieving security and stability.

You are up to this challenge and these hopes." He further highlighted that upholding principles and defending their homeland and dignity is a vow these heroes will never break.
