Marib, Aug 4, 2020, SPA -- Yemeni Minister of Defense Lt. Gen. Mohammed Al-Maqdashi lauded the stances of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy, in Yemen, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its fraternal stand along the side of the Yemeni people, in the battle to restore security and stability and to confront pro-coup d'état Houthi militia as well as to face off Iranian attempts seeking to destabilize Arab security. Al-Maqdashi pointed to the great sacrifices made by the Arab brethren, in the Arab joint defense battle (currently taking place, in Yemen), reasserting that such Arab bloods shed on the Yemeni soils, reflect the authenticity and profound brethren ties and relations as well as the unity of the destiny binding them. Praising and valuing brethren support provided to the Yemeni armed forces, he emphasized that the unflinching stance along the side the Yemenis and their armed forces, will remain immortally vivid in the memory of the Yemeni people, as they keep the march towards liberating the capital Sanaa and all Yemeni cities and territories, regardless of the sacrifices to be maid, in order to attain the goal of getting rid of the militias' rebellion and putting an end to the Houthi coup d'état, wreaking havoc, corrupting and committing crimes and violations against the Yemenis, to serve Iran's nefarious enterprises aiming at exporting chaos and ruin to the region, in general and Yemen, in particular, through turning it into a springboard to destabilize regional security and posing threat to world interests, he concluded. --SPA 21:32 LOCAL TIME 18:32 GMT 0016 www.spa.gov.sa/w1385070
