Road Opening Initiatives: Humanitarian Priority for Sana'a Leadership to Strengthen National Cohesion
Sana'a - Saba: The Revolutionary Leadership and the Supreme Political Council have placed road opening among their national and humanitarian priorities, based on their deep awareness of the daily suffering caused by closed roads to citizens, in light of the ongoing US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and blockade of the country. This concern has been evident in the successive initiatives launched by the Sana'a leadership, affirming its commitment to its moral and humanitarian responsibilities and embodying the goals of the September 21 Revolution, which aim to strengthen national cohesion and alleviate the suffering of citizens. Sana'a has pursued its revolutionary and liberation approach with awareness and responsibility, engaging with every initiative that would alleviate the suffering of citizens and improve their livelihoods, this comes at a time when the aggression coalition has been lurking in Yemen for decades, an extension of the era of British colonialism that extended its hegemony over the south of the country for approximately 129 years, during which it entrenched a policy of "divide and rule," dividing the nation into rival sheikhdoms and sultanates. The effects and repercussions of the aggression have multiplied, affecting various sectors, including depriving citizens of freedom of movement and communication through road closures and the targeting of travelers, either by enemy airstrikes or by banditry and looting gangs unleashed by the coalition on roads connecting governorates. Recognizing the vitality of this issue, the Sana'a leadership has presented a series of initiatives to open closed roads, believing in the importance of strengthening ties between Yemenis and facilitating freedom of movement between cities and regions, this is especially true since the closures were not limited to the north-south lines, but extended to include the interior districts and regions, exacerbating the daily suffering of citizens. The Sana'a leadership did not limit itself to the announced initiatives, but rather initiated their unilateral implementation on the ground, as a demonstration of good faith and a pretext for argument. However, the other side did not respond to these initiatives, given that the decision to open or close the road remained subject to the will of the Saudi and Emirati occupiers, who have transgressed all boundaries of neighborliness and Islamic and humanitarian values by launching a bloody aggression against a Muslim neighbor. Despite the repeated procrastination of the coalition's tools and mercenaries, and their continued rejection of road opening initiatives, the Sana'a leadership continued its humanitarian efforts with determination and national responsibility, these efforts resulted in the opening of several vital roads, including the Sana'a-Sirwah-Ma'rib Road, the Al-Bayda-Al-Jawba-Ma'rib City Road, the Al-Hawban-Qasr Al-Shaab-Al-Kamb Road, the Sana'a-Aden Road via Al-Dhale' Governorate, and finally the Aqabat Al-Mahalhal Road, linking the Abyan and Al-Bayda Governorates, this road was opened unilaterally, embodying the leadership's approach to alleviating the suffering of citizens and strengthening communication among the people of the nation. The road-opening initiatives would not have been possible without the Sana'a leadership's seriousness in addressing the repercussions of the aggression and blockade, despite the rifts created within the social fabric by the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition, in a desperate attempt to reproduce projects of hegemony and division. Despite this, the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council have been keen to overcome these challenges through a series of measures and steps, most notably the opening of internal and external roads, this will facilitate movement and trade, strengthen popular cohesion, and counter the attempts at division practiced by the occupying authorities in some governorates through regional division and identity discrimination. Opening roads between governorates is not merely a service-oriented measure; it is a fundamental right of Yemenis to freedom of movement, communication, and visitation, it contributes to protecting them from acts of banditry, kidnappings, and assassinations carried out by criminal gangs and armed militias loyal to the Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition in the occupied governorates, as part of colonial agendas seeking to destabilize security and impose a reality of chaos and division. The road-opening initiatives adopted by the Sana'a leadership were merely an extension of a steadfast humanitarian stance, a victory for the values of brotherhood and unity, and a rejection of all forms of fragmentation and division sought by the occupier and its tools. While the forces of aggression continue to obstruct every initiative that alleviates the suffering of the Yemeni people, the Sana'a government continues to present a responsible national model, with the spirit of the state, the morals of the revolution, and a firm stance.

Sana'a Government Writes a Success Story in Time of Aggression
Sana'a – SABA | Report by: Jamil Al-Qashm A decade of challenges and hardships has written a new chapter of national resilience. During this period, the Sana'a government redefined the concept of governance under siege, transforming limited resources into comprehensive development pathways—while the occupied provinces suffer administrative and financial collapse despite abundant resources, amid the failure of the 'mercenary government' to provide basic services and the worsening of rampant corruption. Since the outbreak of the September 21 Revolution, the Sana'a government has prioritized rebuilding state institutions, even as the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression deliberately targeted Yemen's institutional infrastructure. Instead of collapsing, the government maintained growing administrative cohesion, while the rival administration pursued fragmentation and plundered national resources for the benefit of elites. The occupied provinces are run through a model of political rentierism, with oil and gas revenues from Shabwa and Hadramout siphoned into foreign bank accounts, while cities remain in darkness, essential services deteriorate, and crises in electricity, water, and education escalate, fueling continuous public outrage. In contrast, the Sana'a government emerged as a heartbeat of good governance. It passed legislation promoting local production and supporting vulnerable social groups. One landmark example is the tax exemption law for small taxpayers and enterprises—demonstrating Sana'a's socio-economic vision for inclusive development. The General Authority for Zakat has become a strategic pillar in supporting vulnerable segments, with annual contributions in the tens of billions of riyals—surpassing what the former Duties Authority delivered over decades. It has launched extensive empowerment programs that reestablished zakat as a development resource rather than a mere revenue stream. Despite the transfer of Central Bank powers to occupied Aden, Sana'a acted to protect depositors, launching a compensation mechanism for damaged currency, replacing over 2.2 billion riyals—showcasing its national responsibility while the rival government failed to inspire trust in the banking sector. In agriculture, the Sana'a government launched the largest projects in decades, including a memorandum of understanding for a 20-billion-riyal agricultural revival and cultivation of 150,000 hectares in the Tihama Plain and 57,000 reclaimed hectares across various provinces—laying a foundation for food sovereignty. The contract farming project marked a qualitative leap, redefining the relationship between state and farmer, enhancing food security, and reducing import dependency. A strategic wheat cultivation initiative in the central highlands of Dhamar province also contributed to achieving self-sufficiency. In Al-Jawf, the Martyr Al-Sammad Project symbolized production enhancement through cultivating nearly 10,000 hectares—transforming this desert province into a promising grain hub. Al-Hodeidah witnessed notable expansion in soybean, millet, corn, and other vital crops. Infrastructure achievements included 2,931 road projects across 155 districts—benefiting around five million citizens—funded and supported by community initiatives, creating new arteries for services and goods flow. In energy, 57 solar energy projects were completed across 13 provinces, and 126 water pumping systems in rural areas were converted to sustainable sources—making a tangible impact on daily life, especially in contrast to Aden's inability to secure fuel or electricity. Education was also prioritized, with the construction and rehabilitation of thousands of schools, provision of furniture and supplies, and teacher training programs aimed at improving education in remote areas, reducing dropouts, and enhancing learning outcomes. To mitigate disasters, 53 flood and landslide protection projects were implemented, including drainage canals, diversion dams, and water barriers in vulnerable rural and lowland areas. These projects benefited over 146,000 citizens and reduced human and material losses during rainy seasons—signifying an effective early disaster response system. To alleviate the impacts of aggression, the government launched a national salary program covering 430 main and subsidiary government units, benefiting over 300,000 public employees monthly—about 82% of units formerly reliant on the public budget. The program indirectly supports over 2.1 million people, with an average of 300,000 funding operations per month and an annual total of approximately 3.6 million transactions—part of an exceptional mechanism to provide salaries and reimburse small depositors, reaffirming the government's commitment to social protection amid complex economic conditions. Community initiatives have been a vital partner in this rebuilding journey, with public contributions exceeding 5 billion riyals in one year across 682 agricultural and fisheries projects, supported and guided by state institutions. Meanwhile, in occupied provinces, corruption and exclusion hinder any meaningful civic engagement. Agricultural cooperatives evolved from basic organizational structures into active production centers, taking on advanced roles in planning and implementing rural development projects—including agriculture, livestock production, and local marketing. With direct government support, cooperative personnel were trained and equipped administratively and technically, and linked to financing programs, enabling local communities to lead collective and sustainable development, turning rural Yemen into a dynamic space of economic and social revival. The government also launched a program to transform cities into centers for value-added agro-industrial production. This included supporting the establishment of small workshops and processing units, and offering incentives to home-based producers and local entrepreneurs—boosting the local economy and adding value to local resources. The financial sector saw continued reform, with Central Bank decisions in Sana'a regulating money exchange firms, curbing speculation, and protecting the financial system—while Aden suffers from financial chaos and dwindling reserves. Recognizing the value of investing in human capital, the Sana'a government carried out broad administrative and structural reforms, restructuring public service units, modernizing institutional work systems, and activating monitoring and evaluation tools. Key performance indicators were adopted in vital sectors—raising government efficiency and reinforcing the concept of public service as a national responsibility requiring discipline and standards. These accomplishments were not merely theoretical—they materialized on the ground, from lit streets and improved cities to coffee drying plants and vast harvests of millet and corn in Tihama and other provinces. Across multiple provinces, tangible development indicators are evident in roads, water, agriculture, community initiatives, land reclamation, dam construction, crop cultivation, equipment provision, and improved local production—all achieved amid the rubble of aggression and siege-imposed challenges. In the occupied provinces, signs of total collapse are evident—developmental vision is absent, services are run through corruption and favoritism, worsening citizen suffering and widening the gap. State institutions have become tools of exploitation rather than development incubators, burdening citizens who face daily struggles for basic needs. These ten years have not only reshaped the power map, but redefined the meaning of the state—from a consumerist center to a productive society, from political façade to service-driven institution, from a regime under siege to a leadership that builds and governs with capability and independence—moving with confident steps that reflect deep vision and steadfast direction.
