On September 20, 2024, the internationally recognized Yemeni government declared that the Houthi movement's coup against the legitimate authority on September 21, 2014, has led the country to what it termed "the worst setback in Yemen’s history." The statement highlighted the unprecedented humanitarian and social crises that have ensued.

In a press release, Yemeni Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani emphasized the violations perpetrated by the Houthis against the Yemeni people since their takeover. He noted, "This ominous anniversary comes at a time when Yemenis have recognized the true nature of the Houthi movement, which has no agenda but death, destruction, and chaos."

Al-Eryani criticized the Houthis for their failure to manage the areas under their control, stating they have struggled to provide even the most basic rights, including salaries and essential services. He remarked, “For a decade, citizens have endured a hellish existence marked by poverty, hunger, ignorance, and disease, while the militia's leadership and their families enjoy lavish wealth, exposing the lies behind their slogans.”

He expressed hope in the ongoing resistance from Yemenis and the widespread public rejection of the Houthi agenda, particularly in the provinces under their control. "The people understand that the Houthis are at the root of the problems and crises that have plagued Yemen," he added.

The Houthi takeover of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, on September 21, 2014, marked a significant turning point, leading to a brutal conflict that has reshaped the political, economic, and social landscape of Yemen. According to UN reports, this conflict has resulted in one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
