The tribes of Arhab, Nihm, and Bani Harith have publicly declared their support for the Yemeni national armed forces in their fight against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.  During a large rally held in Marib on Sunday, tribal leaders reaffirmed their loyalty to Yemen and pledged to stand united with the national army.

The tribes issued a call to action, urging all Yemeni tribes to mobilize and join the effort to liberate the country from Houthi control.  They expressed their willingness to make any sacrifice necessary to defend their homeland.

Tribal leaders stressed the critical importance of unity and collective action in ending the Houthi rebellion, acknowledging the vital role Yemeni tribes play in bolstering the army. They strongly condemned the Houthis' “heinous crimes” against the Yemeni people and called for nationwide solidarity with the legitimate government and its military.
The tribal leaders also expressed their appreciation for the efforts of the local authorities in Marib and the support provided by the Saudi-led Coalition to Support Legitimacy, particularly in stabilizing security and promoting development in the region.  They appealed to the Presidential Leadership Council and the legitimate government to provide further support to the armed forces as they prepare for a decisive battle against the Houthis.
