In a significant ceremony to commemorate the 62nd anniversary of the September 26 Revolution, Sultan al-Arada, a member of the Presidential Leadership Council, and Prime Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak attended the lighting of the "Mother Flame" in Marib, northeastern Yemen.
The flame was ignited by Interior Minister Major General Ibrahim Haidan, Chief of General Staff Major General Saghir bin Aziz, and Marib Deputy Governor Ali al-Fatimi, marking the beginning of celebrations for this momentous occasion, which holds a special place in the hearts of Yemenis, according to the official Saba news agency.
The event featured a vibrant youth scouting display, with participation from 1,200 scouts representing various provinces. They presented artistic performances that embodied the Yemeni people's faith in the goals and principles of the September 26 Revolution and the republican system.
At the conclusion of the program, al-Arada received a "Document of Covenant" from the scouts, which was symbolically sealed in blood and directed to the political leadership represented by Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad al-Alimi and other council members.
The document, read aloud by scout Qasim Tarmoush, reaffirmed the commitment of the scouting and youth movement to stand united in preserving the nation's security and stability against any threats, and to advance towards building a modern federal state.
