“Honor Board”: Yemeni Human Chain Commemorates Houthi Victims


In an unprecedented human chain in Yemen, citizens gathered to honor those who “shed their blood to resist the aggression of Iran’s Houthi agents.”

In the historic city of Al-Mokha, the birthplace of the first coffee exports to the world, over a thousand youths, elders, and relatives of martyrs held up a board celebrating the valor of men who selflessly defended Yemen against the scourge of rebellion and terrorism.

This event, dedicated to soldiers and leaders who fell in the face of Houthi militia terrorism, is the first of its kind in over a decade since the devastating coup launched in late 2014. It coincides with the designation of December 4 as Yemeni Martyrs’ Day.

Honor Board

In the human chain, a young man proudly carried what he called the “Honor Board,” displaying a relative who had fallen in battles against the Houthis. Others chanted, “By the land and the revolution… My country shall never live oppressed.”

For these youths, this event symbolizes a long-overdue popular recognition of those who sacrificed their lives in the fight against the Houthis’ death projects and terrorist organizations.
Participants vowed that the blood of those lost to the Houthis’ treachery “shall not be in vain,” framing this event as a renewed pledge to achieve victory and liberate areas still under rebel control.

Lists of Heroes

The National Resistance, led by Yemeni Vice President Tarek Saleh, stated in a communiqué that this popular tribute to the martyrs included the names of soldiers and leaders from the Republican Guards, Giants Brigades, Tihama forces, Zaraniq, Southern Resistance, National Army, and Homeland Shield forces.

The statement emphasized that this human chain, the largest ever held in Yemen, was part of Martyrs’ Day celebrations, honoring the memory of those who fell in the fight for freedom. It also recognized the families who sacrificed their loved ones to liberate the nation.

More than 1,080 youths participated in the human chain on the main avenue of Al-Mokha, in western Taiz (southern Yemen), presenting a touching display of loyalty to the martyrs who spilled their blood across the country’s battlefronts.

This board is a tribute to martyrs across all fronts opposing the Iranian project and its agents, the Houthi militias. It aligns with a series of enduring initiatives established by the Presidential Council, highlighting the collective commitment to those who gave their lives combating the rebel militias allied with the Iranian regime.
