PM participates in anniversary commemoration of Sayyed Badr al-Din al-Houthi's passing

Sana'a - Saba: Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahwi participated on Tuesday in the anniversary commemoration of the passing of the revered scholar Sayyed Badr al-Din al-Houthi. In his speech, Al-Rahwi emphasized the importance of honoring the legacy of this distinguished scholar and highlighting his religious, humanitarian, intellectual, and jihad contributions, urging others to follow his example. He noted that the late scholar was a beacon of knowledge, mentoring numerous esteemed scholars and students who benefited from his profound wisdom. Al-Rahwi also highlighted Sayyed Badr al-Din's approach in confronting those who distorted religious teachings, seeking to misguide the nation with baseless rulings. "Sayyed Badr al-Din al-Houthi's foremost concern was to seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty and to extend support to the nation in all that is good, fulfilling its need for correct Islamic and jurisprudential knowledge," Al-Rahwi stated. He added, "He was a pious ascetic in this worldly life, with his greatest mission being to raise people's awareness, clarify the essence of religion for their benefit in this life , the hereafter, to champion truth and defend it." The Prime Minister also addressed recent developments in occupied Palestine, particularly in Gaza, condemning the daily injustices, massacres, deprivation of food, water, and medicine faced by its people as a disgraceful reflection of an era where falsehood and oppression prevail over truth. He described the ongoing blatant aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Zionist cancerous entity's attempts—backed by Western and American imperialism—to impose its dominance over the entire region with arrogance and oppression. Al-Rahwi denounced the Zionist attack on Iran as unjustified and blatant, stressing that Iran possesses the strength, civilizational depth, humanitarian resolve to defeat this Western-implanted entity designed to harm the Muslim Ummah and sow discord among its people. "For the first time, we witness the destruction of vital Zionist installations due to the missiles , drones launched by Iran's armed forces, and greater victories are yet to come, God willing," he declared. The Prime Minister called on everyone to follow Sayyed Badr al-Din's path in confronting falsehood, defending truth, and standing against injustice. The event was attended by Deputy Speaker of the Shura Council Dhifallah Rasam, Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Qaheem, Minister of Oil and Minerals Dr. Abdullah Al-Amir, Minister of Culture and Tourism Dr. Ali Al-Yafai, and several members of the Parliament and Shura Council. Scholars and Activists Honor Sayyed Badr al-Din's Legacy Prominent scholar Fuad Naji, a member of the Yemeni Scholars Association, described Sayyed Badr al-Din as an exceptional figure who stood for truth in times of silence and fear, resisting tyrants who sought to suppress voices and extinguish divine light. He stressed the importance of commemorating the late scholar's life as a model of asceticism, jihad, and dedication to his nation. Naji noted that Sayyed Badr al-Din sacrificed his own children in the path of God and truth, embodying piety, humility, and righteousness. Naji also highlighted Sayyed Badr al-Din's role in reviving Islamic sciences, clarifying religious concepts, and countering misleading ideologies, as well as his contributions to the Quranic movement. He emphasized how the scholar's children inherited his knowledge, righteousness, courage, and commitment to truth and justice. Cultural activist Yahya Abu Awadha, one of Sayyed Badr al-Din's students, spoke about the scholar's efforts in combating foreign ideologies and false cultural narratives, as well as his opposition to takfiri (excommunication) projects that incite strife and hatred. He praised Sayyed Badr al-Din's courageous stances in advocating freedom, integrity, and justice, enriching Yemen's libraries with numerous religious and reference works. Abu Awadha described him as a spiritual guide whose teachings transcended narrow confines, addressing society's need for correct knowledge and understanding. The commemoration served as an opportunity to reflect on Sayyed Badr al-Din's legacy, drawing lessons from his knowledge, patience, and asceticism, and striving to follow the path of the Prophet's household and righteous scholars. Participants emphasized the responsibility of scholars and preachers to enjoin good, forbid evil, speak truth, and combat corruption, injustice, and oppression—principles that Sayyed Badr al-Din embodied throughout his life.

Yemen to launch National Knowledge, Innovation Index amid Intel exclusions

Sana'a – Saba: Yemen is developing its own National Knowledge and Innovation Index (YKII), a strategic move aimed at accurately monitoring and directing the nation's capabilities in science, research, and technology. This initiative comes as Yemen has been largely excluded from or given low rankings in international indices, often due to perceived political considerations, according to Dr. Abdulaziz al-Houri, Vice Chairman of the General Authority for Science, Research, Technology and Innovation. Dr. al-Houri highlighted the urgent need for this national index, citing the absence of a comprehensive national framework for measuring knowledge and innovation, along with pressing economic and social challenges. The index is seen as crucial for supporting reconstruction and development, fostering cooperation between public and private sectors in research and development, encouraging investment, and keeping pace with global advancements. It will also enhance transparency, accountability, and the assessment of public policy impacts. The Authority is collaborating with partners, notably the Central Statistical Organization, to finalize the YKII's draft. This index will identify knowledge gaps in Yemeni society, guide efforts to bridge them through informed policies, and provide a national database for evidence-based decision-making. Expected Impact and Objectives: The project is anticipated to bring wide-ranging benefits, including: Improving education quality and outcomes to meet labor market and development needs. Increasing the quantity and quality of research output, enhancing its relevance to societal challenges. Stimulating innovation and creativity, and boosting competitiveness. Contributing to sustainable development goals by leveraging knowledge and innovation. Enhancing local competitiveness among educational, research, and production entities. The primary objectives of the index are to: Assess the current state of knowledge and innovation nationally. Measure and track scientific, technological, and innovative progress. Improve national and local innovation policies by identifying strengths and weaknesses. Provide reliable information for policymakers, researchers, investors, and stakeholders. Help re-prioritize efforts to encourage creativity, scientific research, and youth empowerment. Index Framework and Next Steps: The YKII's general framework comprises two main aspects: Innovation Inputs: This includes six axes with 42 indicators covering education, research and development, investment, the knowledge workforce, communications and information technology, and institutions. Innovation Outputs: This consists of three axes with 20 indicators focused on innovation, creativity, and knowledge. Dr. al-Houri detailed the steps taken so far, which include studying evidence for composite indicators, examining global and regional indices, developing a methodology, and preparing an initial draft guide. Current and future steps involve finalizing the draft, piloting and testing the index, obtaining official approval, and finally, the launch of the National Knowledge and Innovation Index 2025. Dr. al-Houri called upon all state institutions to enhance cooperation with the General Authority for Science, Research, Technology and Innovation, emphasizing its vital role in advancing innovation and creativity for Yemen's economic and social development.
