In letter to Major General al-Ghamari, Chief of Staff of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades expresses pride in Yemen's heroic stance in support of Gaza
In letter to Major General al-Ghamari, Chief of Staff of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades expresses pride in Yemen's heroic stance in support of Gaza Sana'a - Saba: Chief of the General Staff Major General Abdulkarim al-Ghamari on Saturday received a letter from the Chief of Staff of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, in response to the letter Major General al-Ghamari sent to Mujahideen of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. The letter stated: We have received your generous letter, filled with sincere brotherhood, chivalry, and blessed Arab and Yemeni generosity, which came on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. What makes your words so impactful and appreciated is that they are accompanied by great practical stances and the unique jihadi heroism of our sincere brothers in Yemen, a land of wisdom and faith. Dear brother and friend, through you, we send our sincere greetings and appreciation to Mujahid leader Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the Yemeni Armed Forces, and our great brotherly Yemeni people from your Mujahidin brothers on the land of resistance in Gaza. Gaza is the crown of Mujahidin and the frontier of Islam advancing against the infidel Nazi Zionism. We extend to you and your brothers, on behalf of every Mujahid who carries his soul in his hand, and every steadfast defender of his homeland, waiting to fight his enemy, and on behalf of every individual among our patient, afflicted, and proud people, our sincere congratulations on these blessed days and in this sacred month of Allah. We thank Allah that we have reached Eid al-Adha while we and you are in the best of positions beloved by Allah and His Messenger: positions of jihad and fighting in His cause, martyrdom, and sacrifice of blood, soul, wealth, and all that we possess for the sake of the Night Journey of our noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and our Holy Land. We remain steadfast in our covenant, Allah willing, that neither those who have let us down nor those who have afflicted us will harm us until Allah's promise comes to pass, by His permission. What fills us with pride is your great heroic stance, which will be recorded in history and passed down through the generations in letters of light on the pages of glory and pride. From before and after history, God will not let your struggle, faith and sacrifices go to waste, especially when you stood tall like mountains in the face of the forces of injustice and tyranny. You paid a heavy price, befitting great men like you, for supporting your brothers in Gaza in word and deed. You were the most prominent arena in the nation in terms of progress in fighting, confrontation, military support, million-man demonstrations, and a resounding, blessed voice in all arenas of support and dignity. You truly embodied the words of God Almighty: "And those who believed and emigrated and strove in the cause of God and those who gave shelter and aided - those are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision." May God grant us and you righteous deeds, acts of obedience, jihad, sacrifices, and acts of devotion. We ask God to elevate the ranks of our martyrs and yours, grant healing to the wounded, freedom to the prisoners, and victory to our nation and people. Until we meet again in the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, liberated and purified, God willing. "And that Day the believers will rejoice in the victory of God. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Ex Exalted in Might, the Merciful." And may you have a happy new year. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.

Hodeida… Service projects lay foundation for comprehensive developmental transformation in northern Districts
Hodeida – Saba: The northern districts of Hodeida province are witnessing a developmental movement encompassing vital sectors, as part of the local authority's efforts to implement projects and direct interventions aimed at improving roads, health, and education, as well as expanding services in neighborhoods and coastal areas. More than 1.713 billion Yemeni riyals have been allocated to fund a package of projects that were inaugurated or had their foundation stones laid yesterday. These projects include completing phases of strategic roads, flood protection works, launching health facilities, rehabilitating educational institutions, as well as urban planning and road construction projects. The road linking Al-Qanawus, Al-Mughlaf, and Al-Kadan has become a prominent symbol of this movement, with the first phase of paving completed and work launched on the second phase. This project reconnects areas, shortens travel distances to services, reduces transportation costs, and boosts local market activity, particularly in agricultural regions. Alongside this project, the expanded Al-Jilaniyah crossing in Al-Qanawus and the surface bridge under construction in Al-Dahi stand as tangible responses to the recurring flood challenges during the rainy season. These projects provide sustainable protection, secure vital transit routes, and prevent road disruptions between districts. In Al-Zaydiyah, health services are making a comeback with the laying of the foundation stone for a CT scan building at the district hospital. Meanwhile, the Hafsa Educational Complex is undergoing rehabilitation to restore its educational function in a more suitable environment, with standards that meet female students' needs, support academic achievement, and encourage regular attendance. The projects are not limited to the central areas of the districts but have extended to neighborhood units through road construction and neighborhood expansions. This contributes to organizing urban sprawl, facilitating service delivery, and enhancing infrastructure efficiency in growing residential areas experiencing population increases. Hodeida Governor Abdullah Atifi described the service interventions in the northern districts as the culmination of ongoing efforts by the local authority to bridge the service gap that has affected these areas for years. He affirmed that these projects are already making a tangible difference in citizens' lives and restoring confidence in the developmental path. Atifi explained that the achievements on the ground did not come by chance but were the result of prior planning based on real data about the needs of the most underserved districts. He praised the role of the Road Maintenance Fund in financing several projects and the community efforts that accelerated progress. He emphasized that the ongoing projects represent a real shift from temporary responses to stable institutional spending, and from stopgap solutions to fundamental treatments, laying the foundation for a more cohesive and sustainable service system that improves the efficiency of vital facilities and reduces long-term costs. Atifi noted that this phase marks an entry point for rebuilding the relationship between citizens and the state on the basis of service, community participation, and reality-based planning. He stressed that the local authority will not stop here but will continue to expand its efforts to cover other districts and areas awaiting their share of development. He pointed out that the province's developmental vision focuses on addressing challenges, building on achievements, and expanding projects toward priority areas. Field teams and implementing entities, he said, operate within a monitoring and evaluation system ensuring quality execution, direct impact on people's lives, and avoiding any disruptions that could hinder sustainability or equitable project distribution. The governor called for strengthening partnerships between supporting entities, local councils, and community institutions to integrate efforts and protect achievements. He affirmed that the next phase will see expanded interventions, guided by a plan that considers population growth, facility pressures, and climate changes directly impacting infrastructure, especially in environmentally vulnerable coastal areas. Mohammad Mathna, head of the Public Works Sector in Hodeidah, explained that the projects underway in the northern districts stem from a well-studied action plan based on precise field surveys and an integrated vision to improve infrastructure and basic services in outlying areas, aligning with residents' needs and addressing accumulated challenges. He noted that the Public Works Sector oversees direct engineering supervision to ensure quality and compliance with specifications, in coordination with implementing entities and the Road Maintenance Fund. Field monitoring mechanisms, he added, enhance performance efficiency and achieve the desired impact in project execution. Hassan Al-Ahdal, director of Al-Zaydiyah District, stated that the ongoing interventions respond to tangible needs that residents have raised for years. He affirmed that the CT scan building at Al-Zaydiyah Hospital will significantly improve healthcare services, providing accurate diagnoses without the need for patients to travel to distant centers, thus easing their burden and reducing treatment and transportation costs. He described the rehabilitation of the Hafsa Girls' Complex as restoring the educational institution's value and providing a more stimulating environment for female students, representing a step toward improving education quality and expanding academic opportunities for girls—key to development. Meanwhile, Mohammad Al-Qawzi, director of Al-Qanawus District, highlighted that the road linking Al-Qanawus, Al-Mughlaf, and Al-Kadan is among the most strategic long-demanded projects. The completion of its first and second phases, he said, will end the isolation of vast areas, enhance transport and services between the district and its surroundings, open new economic prospects, and improve access to educational and health services. He confirmed that expanding Al-Jilaniyah crossing provides a practical solution to flood-related disruptions and recurring seasonal damage, mitigating environmental risks and ensuring safe passage for citizens, students, and agricultural products even during heavy rains. Amid this transformation, the projects underway in the northern districts are more than just service interventions—they mark the starting point of a broader developmental path redefining the relationship between development and place. They establish a new understanding of public service as a tool for stability, balance, and embodying the state's presence in citizens' daily lives. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Reports)

A New Cognitive Transformation
In high school, I would read and reflect as I roamed the desert after noon on the chosen days of the week, distributing my directions and traversing a new path each day. Sometimes, I aimed for a destination at a specific angle in the vast expanse of the desert, returning without necessarily retracing my steps. I ventured deep into the desert, as far as I could go, as if searching for a new world, always mindful of the time to return before dusk, ensuring that darkness did not descend before I reached my dormitory. I felt as if I were the first human to traverse that neglected desert, seemingly untouched, with no significant trace of human activity across its wide stretch. I appeared like the first explorer, treading upon its vastness. Just as I raised my voice in the desert, I also unleashed my questioning mind. In the face of doubt, I flung open the doors of inquiry. The bewilderment of questioning occupied much of my thoughts. A stark contradiction brewed between the notions I had grown up with, shaped by what I learned in Islamic education, and the knowledge I was gaining in geography, biology, philosophy, and other sciences. The questions stimulated my mind and consciousness, still tender and inexperienced, as I eagerly sought to understand all that was possible and new. Through accumulated knowledge, I realized that submission does not cultivate awareness or understanding; rather, it breeds stagnation, lethargy, and dullness. It is the debate, contradiction, and pursuit of answers to the questions simmering in consciousness—even the simplest ones—that create knowledge, enriching it and challenging the ignorance and false consciousness that cling to the mind. The skeptical questions opened my mind to deeper understanding, including some that defied answers and sparked frustration in my mother during my innocent, curious childhood. As I contemplated the desert, I delved deeper despite the heat and the scorching winds and sands. I would ask myself: Has this desert always been in this state since the earth was formed or since God created the simple existence? I would pause at small, peculiar stones—lightweight black rocks, jagged or filled with numerous voids in their outer walls—that seemed out of place in the desert's nature. Clearly, they had come from a different environment altogether. Most were about the size of a fist or slightly larger. I would wonder: Were these once celestial bodies or asteroids drifting through space? Could these be remnants of meteors cast by God to thwart the devils? Whenever I spotted the various shells scattered across the desert, I would question: Did the sea once cover all this land? When did the sea rise to this point, or was it here and then receded? Were these shells a stage in the evolution of life? * * * I was captivated by my tall Palestinian biology teacher, with his fair skin and political affiliation with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as he explained Darwin's theory of evolution. I followed him with astonishment, thinking to myself: it seems quite reasonable and logical, at least to a large extent—especially the parts supported by evidence and scientific endorsement, which appeared to hold a degree of certainty or a place on the ladder of truth. What I heard from my biology teacher was unlike anything I had encountered before. His words were striking and worthy of attention as he spoke of the ladder of evolution and its many details. I found some aspects of human origins shared or closely aligned between Darwin's theory of evolution and some ideas presented by Engels in his work 'The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.' Perhaps I sensed the logic in the theory, or at least much of it, which, at its worst, contained elements of truth and utility. I enjoyed the way he presented it and the evidence he provided for its various facets, which perhaps unsettled some of my convictions and sparked doubts, shaking the foundations of my firmly rooted beliefs, while also exploring broad horizons for the possible. Today, supporters of Darwin's theory continue to grow steadily within scientific circles, and it is increasingly applied in fields such as biology, paleontology, and anthropology. In 2009, a nonpartisan American research center called the Pew Research Center conducted a survey within scientific communities regarding Darwin's theory of evolution. The results indicated that 97% endorsed the view that humans and other living organisms have evolved over time, with 87% attributing this evolution to natural processes such as natural selection. * * * I found myself captivated by the subject of philosophy and its teacher, a Palestinian with a slight olive complexion who was also affiliated with the Popular Front. He introduced the philosophical question: 'Is man free or destined?' This was the first time I had encountered such a question, and it continued to stimulate my mind, revealing the fragility of my beliefs as I tentatively approached the thresholds and doors of knowledge. From philosophy, I learned the importance of debate, the collision and fusion of ideas and theories, and their historical evolution within the broader process of knowledge. I became aware of the significance of questioning and doubting assumptions in the pursuit of truth and understanding. I recognized my own illusions and the many weaknesses in the beliefs that had dominated my mind during the years that had passed. I generally enjoyed subjects like the sciences and social studies, feeling that they shaped my awareness and made a difference in both my academic and general knowledge. They posed numerous questions to my mind, leading to newfound insights or brighter understandings in the face of ignorance. Many things in my young mind shifted from what I once thought and believed. I felt these subjects were adding something new to my experience, something I had never encountered before. In my third year of high school, the distance between me and my previous beliefs began to shift in favor of doubt, or at least some of it. I recalled the questions I had innocently and spontaneously posed as a child. New convictions started to form—convictions that were more logical and reasonable, some supported by evidence. I sensed that new concepts were crystallizing in my mind, moving away from sentiment and emotion towards rationality, fueled by increasing doubt and a plethora of questions.
