On September 21, 2024, a high-level military meeting chaired by Yemen's Defense Minister, Mohsen Al-Da'eri, convened in Aden to discuss preparations for the upcoming celebrations of Yemen’s Revolution Days, specifically on September 26, October 14, and November 30.
According to the Yemeni news agency Saba, the meeting reviewed reports on the conditions of armed forces personnel and their needs, including those injured in the line of duty. Attendees included leaders from the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, and military region commanders.
The discussions included recommendations for the Presidential Leadership Council and the Prime Minister to expedite the provision of necessary supplies to the armed forces, ensuring their combat and technical readiness to fulfill assigned missions and effectively confront ongoing challenges, particularly the persistent threats posed by the Houthi group, which is internationally designated as a terrorist organization.
The meeting, attended by heads of military bodies, department directors, the commander of the Taiz axis, and staff from the Joint Operations Authority, also addressed the current military situation across various fronts. Participants praised the valor of armed forces personnel in repelling Houthi attacks and violations, acknowledging their significant contributions in the face of aggression.
In line with these discussions, the Defense Minister instructed the Training and Rehabilitation Authority to prepare for the 2025 training and combat year, aiming to achieve the highest levels of readiness, expertise, and efficiency among military personnel.
Yemenis are set to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the republic's establishment and the fall of the imamate system on September 26, 1962. With the start of September, many Yemenis have taken to social media to decorate their profiles with slogans and chants celebrating the Revolution of September 26.
Since the Houthi group's takeover, which is linked to the imamate regime, efforts have been made to erase the significance of the September 26 celebrations from educational curricula and media, instead promoting the anniversary of their capture of the capital, Sana'a, on September 21, 2014.
