Sayyed Al-Houthi Denounces Brutal Saudi Crimes in Yemen’s Hudaydah

 Nov, 30 2021

By Staff, Agencies 

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah revolutionary movement Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi slammed the Saudi aggression’s brutal crimes in the western coastal city of Hudaydah.

Speaking in a meeting with a delegation of AL-Bayda tribal leaders in the capital Sana’a on Monday evening, Sayyed Al-Houthi warned against seditious conspiracies and divisive attempts by enemies in order to establish their control over Yemen.

“Enemies are seeking to dominate Yemeni people through incitement of sedition and division,” he said.
The Yemeni leader further underscored that “Meetings and reunions among people from various walks of life are truly indicative of the level of fraternity, cooperation and understanding within the Yemeni nation. The opportunity is ripe to push for promotion of brotherhood, cooperation and social peace in order to restore security and stability in Al-Bayda province.”

“We want to beef up nationwide peace and resolve lingering disputes… We want the government and the nation to work together in order to provide civil services,” the Ansarullah chief pointed out.

Sayyed al-Houthi also pointed to the anniversary of the expulsion of colonial British forces from Yemen, stressing that November 30 marks a bright page in the history of the Arab nation.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Ansarullah leader also condemned the execution of ten prisoners by Saudi-sponsored Takfiri militants in Hudaydah, describing it as a “heinous crime” and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.

According to Abdulqader al-Mortadha, head of the Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs in the Yemeni National Salvation Government, Saudi mercenaries executed the victims on November 13 and dismembered their bodies.

Five of the prisoners were residents of Yemen’s Hudaydah province, while the rest were respectively from the provinces of Hajjah and Mahwit.

Yemen: Biden Shrugs Off Campaign Promise as US Backs New Saudi Offensive and AQAP Support

July 13th, 2021

The US has refused calls to stop arming Saudi Arabia amid its devastating war in Yemen and is now doubling down on a military solution, falling back on its reliance of armed militant groups that it used to devastating effect in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq.

AL-BAYDA, YEMEN — President Joe Biden gave a lot of people a sense of cautious optimism when he took to the campaign trail and promised to bring a swift end to the Saudi-led war on Yemen. The oil-rich monarchy, supported heavily by the United States, has been waging arguably the deadliest military campaign of the past decade on the forgotten country for over six years, exacting a brutal humanitarian toll on its civilian population.

To his credit, Biden sent Tim Lenderking to lead a team of negotiators in an attempt to broker reconciliation between the conflict’s many belligerents. But without the political will to stand up to the Saudi monarchy and the varied American interests that profit handsomely from its wars, Lenderking had little chance of success. Now it seems the Kingdom — once again emboldened, armed, and covered by the United States — has all but abandoned any pretense of reconciliation and doubled down on its brutal war.

A Piercing Star falls to earth

Last week, the Saudi-led Coalition began a massive military operation they’re calling al-Najm al-Thaqib, which translates from Arabic into The Piercing Star. The operation ostensibly aims to recapture large swaths of territory in central Yemen’s al-Bayda province, which was captured by Ansar Allah after a series of long and grueling battles with militants from al-Qaeda on the Arabia Peninsula (AQAP) last fall. AQAP had been entrenched in the province for decades, somehow persevering through concerted military efforts by both the Saudi-led Coalition and at least four consecutive U.S. administrations to dislodge it — including Barack Obama’s infamous drone war.

On August 28, 2020, local tribal partisans backed by Ansar Allah defeated AQAP and myriad extremist allies, including elements of IS, in a week-long operation. This victory came just as AQAP was preparing to sweep the Yemeni provinces of al-Bayda, Dhamar, and Sana’a in an operation that aimed to repeat the scenarios seen in Mosul, Iraq and Raqqa, Syria, where ISIS was able to take and hold a so-called caliphate extending from western Iraq to into eastern Syria.

Al-Bayda and the surrounding provinces saw a state of relative calm in the wake of the operation, as residents experienced life without the yoke of al-Qaeda, some for the first time in their lives. Now, some of those residents fear that Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States, is attempting to resettle those groups in al-Bayda as a hedge against Ansar Allah.

Saudi jets have carried out scores of airstrikes in al-Bayda in recent weeks, flying in from the north to unleash tons of bombs made and supplied by the United States and giving AQAP a potential avenue to retake the province, as the airstrikes have targeted Ansar Allah and their local tribal allies almost exclusively.

According to the nonprofit Yemeni Executive Mine Action Center (YEMAC), American-made cluster bombs — which even the U.S. military has pledged not to use, due to their high rate of collateral damage — including the CBU-58, CBU-105, CBU-87, M26, and DPICM M77, have all been used in the offensive.

In a press conference, YEMAC displayed unexploded American bombs used in the operation, including the same GBU-39 and GBU-31 that were used with deadly effect in Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza. YEMAC held the press conference after an unexploded U.S.-made GBU-24 was recovered from a civil-defense building in Sana’a.

While there is not yet conclusive evidence of direct coordination between the Saudi Coalition and AQAP in the offensive, AQAP militants began pushing into al-Bayda from the south almost as soon as the Saudi airstrikes began. The southern villages of al-Zaher and al-Sma’h — including the areas of Jumaima, Wafaa, Sharadeh, al-Sous, Shabakat Dhi Madahi, Akrama, Shawkan and others — have already been recaptured by al-Qaeda according to a number of Saudi state-funded media outlets, which celebrated the putsch as a victory for the Saudi-led Coalition.

No “Certain Victory”

However, the celebrations were short-lived, as Ansar Allah has already begun to recapture areas it gained last August in a military operation it has dubbed al-Nasr al-Mubin, an Arabic phrase meaning “Certain Victory.” That operation has already seen the defeat of AQAP and militants allied with Saudi Arabia in the al-Zahir Directorate as well as dozens of military sites in the al-Dahaki and Al-Soma`h districts, and even areas that Ansar Allah failed to capture from AQAP during its August offensive, according to a statement it issued on Tuesday.

On Friday, the media bureau of the Houthis’ Operations Command Center published a video showing some of its victories in al-Bayda. Several senior AQAP commanders were killed or captured in the battles, including the infamous Abu Dharr al-Tayabi, Tawfiq al-Farawi and Othman Ahmad Abdullah al-Mushdali. A spokesman for Ansar Allah said:

Despite having mobilized members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and Daesh (IS) Takfiri terrorist groups, Saudi [Arabia] failed and has so far reaped nothing other than defeat on every front. The coalition has received severe blows in al-Bayda, even though it has hired al-Qaeda and Daesh terrorists.”

But Ansar Allah is far from a decisive victory. Fierce clashes continue near Lahj province and coalition warplanes continue to pound al-Bayda.

US cooperation with a Jihadi recruiter

According to members of the Houthi negotiating delegation, who spoke to MintPress on condition of anonymity, the escalation in al-Bayda is being used to pressure Ansar Allah to halt its advance on the oil-rich Marib province and to force it to accept conditions that Saudi Arabia and Lenderking’s envoy have imposed on Ansar Allah as a precondition for a peace deal.

For their part, the Houthis have promised to retaliate by resuming drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi oil and military targets in the Kingdom’s southern provinces, according to Brigadier General Abed Al-Thor and General Aziz Rashid, who told MintPress that military pressure on the Kingdom will only be increased in the wake of the recent Saudi escalation.

The attacks on al-Bayda come in the wake of meetings between the Saudi-backed vice president of Yemen, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, and Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the U.S. 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces. Cooper pushed for intelligence sharing and support for armed militant groups under the banner of curbing the arming of the Houthis by the Iranian government.

Al-Ahmar has been tied to various extremist groups in Yemen and, according to Reuters, “The Muslim Brotherhood and other Sunni Islamists gained strength, particularly under … al-Ahmar, who built a power base in the army. Jihadist fugitives formed al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).” According to a 2000 New York Times report, al-Ahmar even “traveled to Afghanistan in the 1980s to meet Osama bin Laden, and assisted in recruiting militants from across the Muslim world for the Afghan struggle.”

The U.S. has long been involved in the training and arming of militants in Yemen, whom it saw as a hedge against Ansar Allah. Al-Ahmar has publicly praised the U.S. for cooperating with him to combat what he called “the Iranian project.”

Grim prospects for peace

On July 1, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said that the United States was “beyond fed up” with the Houthis’ advance in Marib and laid the blame for the humanitarian situation in Yemen squarely at the feet of the Houthis, claiming it was they who failed to work with the “other parties … who are actively working towards peace,” a reference to Saudi Arabia and its allies in the country.

Price’s statements and the Biden administration’s about-face on Yemen has raised questions among activists struggling to stop the war, especially as the U.S. has largely refused calls to stop arming Saudi Arabia amid a devastating civilian death toll, and now seems to be doubling down on its commitment to a military solution to the conflict, falling back on its habit of supporting armed militant groups that it used to devastating effect in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq.

“The Biden administration should have stopped providing weapons and training to the warring parties to ensure that the war would not continue, and not support one at the expense of the other, so logic and reality say,” Dala al-Matari, an activist from the Stop the Bombing of Yemen campaign said. Like many Yemenis, al-Matari believes that President Biden used his seeming opposition to the highly controversial war as a trump card to boost his chances in last year’s presidential election.

For its part, Ansar Allah has outright accused the Biden administration of giving a green light to Saudi forces to attack al-Bayda so that it can more easily provide al-Qaeda and IS with weapons and intelligence information. Officials in Sana’a say the Biden administration is playing with fire by not only destroying peace efforts but also resettling and supporting al-Qaeda, especially amid a Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan.

Dhaif Allah al-Shami — the spokesman for the Sana’a-based Yemeni government run jointly by Ansar Allah and the General People’s Congress, the largest political party in the country — said that the United States had “run the recent military escalation in al-Bayda.” He accused the Biden administration of being behind the plan, stating: “The United States, which falsely and wrongly claims to be concerned with peace in Yemen, is [the one] fueling the bitter clashes in the al-Zahir district of the province.”

Major General Nasser Al-Atif, minister of defense in the Ansar Allah-led government, said in a statement on Monday:

We have a new strategy to face the new Saudi escalation that will cost the coalition a heavy price if they continue to support terrorist elements, and this is something they should understand well. Saudi Arabia and the United States claim that they are keen on peace, stopping the war, and addressing the inhumane issues, but in fact they are talking all this just for media consumption and the exploitation of international and regional positions.“

حسم معركة مأرب ينتظر ساعة الصفر: نحو تحوّل تاريخي في مسار الحرب اليمن


حسم معركة مأرب ينتظر ساعة الصفر: نحو تحوّل تاريخي في مسار الحرب
تؤكّد مصادر متعدّدة أن قوات صنعاء باتت على أعتاب تحقيق «انتصار تاريخي» (أ ف ب )

بسقوط أحد أهمّ خطوط دفاع التحالف السعودي – الإماراتي في الجهة الجنوبية – الغربية لمحافظة مأرب، ينفتح الباب على تحوّل تاريخي في مسار الحرب على اليمن، يبدو واضحاً أن الرياض تخشى التدحرج إليه سريعاً. وفيما لا يزال حسم المعركة في مأرب مُعلّقاً على قرار سياسي من قيادة صنعاء، تزداد حالة التشرذم في صفوف القوات الموالية لـ«التحالف»، مُنبِئةً بهزيمة مدوّية ستلحق بها في آخر معاقلها في الشمالأحدثت استعادة الجيش واللجان الشعبية مناطق واسعة في محافظة البيضاء من تنظيمَي «القاعدة» و«داعش» صدمة كبيرة لدى أصحاب القرار في السعودية، خصوصاً أن استماتة التحالف السعودي – الإماراتي في تأمين التغطية الجوية والإسناد البرّي واللوجستي للقوى التكفيرية أظهرت أن ثمة تعويلاً كبيراً من قِبَل الرياض على تلك التنظيمات في أكثر من اتجاه. وكنموذج من ذلك، تُمكن الإِشارة إلى أن «القاعدة» و«داعش»، على رغم خلافاتهما البينية، كانا يشكّلان خطّاً دفاعياً متقدّماً لـ«التحالف» من الجهة الجنوبية الغربية لمحافظة مأرب. وعليه، فإنّ سيطرة قوّات صنعاء على مركز ثقل التنظيمَين في البيضاء أدّت إلى تراجع معنويات «التحالف» والقوى المحلية الموالية له، لتتسارع إثر ذلك عمليات الانسحاب من عدد كبير من الحاميات العسكرية القريبة من مدينة مأرب، إلى حدّ الحديث عن سقوط معسكر ماس، الذي يُعدّ أهمّ معسكر في الدفاع عن المدينة. إلى الآن، لم تعلن صنعاء عن إنجازاتها كما جرت عادتها في معارك كهذه، في انتظار اكتمال المرحلة الأخيرة من العمليات بعد صدور القرار السياسي بدخول مأرب. وفي هذا الإطار، تؤكّد مصادر متعدّدة، بما فيها مصادر قريبة من «التحالف»، أن قوات صنعاء باتت على أعتاب تحقيق «انتصار تاريخي» في الحرب، ستكون له تداعيات كبيرة على مسارها.

يقف النظام السعودي، اليوم، عاجزاً عن وقف اندفاعة قوات صنعاء باتجاه مأرب، على رغم استخدامه المكثّف للطيران الحربي. ويتجلّى عجزه بوضوح في إخفاقه في تجميع صفوف القوى المحلية التي تقاتل إلى جانبه، فضلاً عن إيجاد إطار مشترك لها تحت قيادة موحّدة. وعلى رغم أن تلك القوى المحلية باتت تستشعر قرب هزيمتها، إلّا أنه لا تزال تتجاذبها الصراعات الفصائلية والأيديولوجية والشخصية، فيما يبدو كلّ منها في نسق مستقلّ ومعزول، بعيداً من أيّ تنسيق أو عمل مشترك، بل إنها لا تتوانى، لدى وقوع أيّ خسارة أمام الجيش واللجان، عن اتّهام بعضها بعضاً بالتنسيق مع صنعاء والتسبّب في هذه الخسائر.
وتنقسم الجهات العسكرية المحلّية المقاتلة تحت راية العدوان في مأرب على النحو الآتي:
أولاً: قوات ما يسمى «الشرعية»، والمنقسمة بين:
– ألوية تابعة لرئيس أركانها، الفريق صغير بن عزيز، المحسوب على حزب «المؤتمر الشعبي العام» – جناح أبو ظبي.
– ألوية تابعة مباشرة لنائب الرئيس علي محسن الأحمر الذي يمثّل الجناح العسكري لحزب «التجمع اليمني للإصلاح» (إخوان).
ثانياً: ميليشيا «الإصلاح» والتي تُعتبر الأكبر عدداً وعدّة والأكثر تنظيماً، مقارنة بما هو عليه حال تلك الميليشيات في بقية المناطق.
ثالثاً: القبائل المقاتلة إلى جانب «التحالف»، وهي قبائل مراد وبعض أفخاذ قبيلة عبيدة، علماً أنه في الآونة الأخيرة حصل تواصل بين تلك القبائل وقيادة صنعاء أفضى إلى تفاهمات تراعي مصلحة الطرفين، الأمر الذي انعكس تراجعاً في حافزية المقاتلين القبليين للقتال، وجنوحاً باتجاه الصلح مع «أنصار الله».

بهزيمة «القاعدة» و«داعش» في البيضاء سقط خطّ دفاعي متقّدم لـ«التحالف» في مأرب


رابعاً: ميليشيات سلفية بقيادة يحيى الحجوري، يناصبها «الإصلاح» العداء، وقد عمل طوال السنوات الماضية على التنكيل بها في محاولة لفرض أجندته عليها.
خامساً: مرتزقة من المحافظات الجنوبية استقدمتهم القوات السعودية في الساعات القليلة الماضية، في محاولة لتعويض الخسائر التي تَعرّض لها وكلاؤها المحلّيون في جبهات مأرب.
قلّة الحيلة السعودية في مأرب استدعت من السفير البريطاني لدى اليمن، مايكل آرون، التدخّل لمآزرة الرياض، عبر إجرائه اتّصالاً بمحافظ مأرب، سلطان العرادة، زعم فيه أن «التحالف» عرض وقفاً لإطلاق النار في المحافظة، لكن «أنصار الله» رفضته. وعلى رغم أن قوات صنعاء تفادت إلى الآن استهداف المناطق المأهولة، وأنه لم يُسجّل سقوط ضحايا مدنيين في المدينة، إلا أن آرون وصف الهجوم على مأرب بـ«غير الإنساني»، علماً أن وكلاء «التحالف» المحلّيين هم مَن ارتكبوا مجزرة بشعة بحق عائلة آل سبيعيان الشهر الماضي، أدت إلى مقتل سبعة من أفراد العائلة بينهم أطفال ونساء، بدعوى موالاتهم لـ«أنصار الله». كذلك، طالب السفير البريطاني، صنعاء، بالتعامل بجدّية مع المبعوث الأممي إلى اليمن، مارتن غريفيث، بعدما كانت حكومة الإنقاذ أوقفت التعامل مع غريفيث على خلفية انحيازه الفاضح إلى الجانب السعودي، لا سيما في ما يتعلّق بمأرب، حيث قَدّم مبادرة لوقف إطلاق النار في المحافظة من دون أن يُدرج فيها أيّ بند متّصل بالقضايا الإنسانيّة. وردّ نائب وزير خارجية حكومة الإنقاذ، حسين العزي، على آرون بالقول إن «من المهمّ أن يضع الشعب البريطاني حدّاً لسياسات حكومته تجاه صنعاء، باعتبارها سياسات تقف بقوة وراء كلّ معاناة الشعب اليمني، وتواصل انحيازها القبيح لحكومة غير شرعية ولا تُعبّر عن اليمنيين، بقدر ما تُعبّر عن خليط من الفاسدين والقاعدة وداعش». ووصف العزي، تصريحات السفير البريطاني، بأنها «تفتقد إلى المصداقية، وهدفها تضليل الرأي العام البريطاني والهروب من التبعات السلبية (للحرب) التي ساهمت فيها بلاده».

HOUTHIS’ WAR ON TERROR IN YEMEN (VIDEOS, MAPS)

26.08.2020 

South Front

Since the start of the Saudi intervention in Yemen in March 2015, the official Saudi propaganda, Western diplomats and mainstream media outlets have been arguing that the coalition is somehow combating terrorists there.

As a part of this narrative, Saudi Arabia, the United States & Co claim that the Houthis (Ansar Allah) are “Iranian-backed terrorists” that oppose the establishment of a democratic rule in Yemen. What the Saudi kingdom (where people still can be executed for witchcraft) or the United States (where only two political parties are de-facto allowed) know about the real ‘democracy’ is the unanswered question.

The kingdom’s leadership and its allies are especially concerned by Houthi drone and missile strikes on military and infrastructure targets inside Saudi Arabia, and cry foul about the Iranian support to the Yemeni movement. At the same time, the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen as a result of the Saudi-led blockade and the wide-scale Saudi bombing campaign aimed at the destruction of the Yemeni civilian infrastructure that led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths are considered as something ordinary and justified.

The dramatic growth of ISIS and al-Qaeda influence in Yemen since the start of the Saudi intervention is also the factor mostly ignored by the ‘democratic international community’.

Houthis' War On Terror In Yemen (Videos, Maps)

Therefore, the Houthis labeled by Saudi propaganda as “terrorists” took the situation in their own hands and started conducting operations against ISIS and al-Qaeda in central Yemen. The recent advances of the Houthis allowed them to expand these efforts and further. The most recent Houthi operation against ISIS and al-Qaeda was kicked off in the Yemeni province of al-Bayda in August.

On August 19, the Houthis announced that their forces had liberated 1,000km2 from ISIS and al-Qaeda cells in the district of Wald Rabi of al-Bayda province. According to the Houthi media wing, they neutralized over 250 terrorists, destroyed 12 camps and gatherings of the terrorists, and seized large quantities of weapons and explosive devices.

“Among those killed there were five commanders of ISIS, including the group’s leader [in Wald Rabi’] as well as the security and financial officials,” a spokesman for the Houthi-led Armed Forces, Brig. Gen. Sari said. “We found complete information and evidence confirming that these elements had carried out various operations during the past years in more than one Yemeni region.”

“We also obtained evidence confirming that the Takfiris [terrorists] were coordinating with other elements in Arab and foreign states.”

After August 18, the Houthis continued their offensive on ISIS and al-Qaeda cells in the province. According to them, terrorists receive support from foreign states, first of all Saudi Arabia. Earlier, there were multiple reports that members of Al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula were openly supporting Saudi-led forces in their attacks on the Houthis.

Despite the dominance in the air and support from such factions, the Saudi-led coalition de-facto lost the conflict in Yemen and even failed to capture the country’s capital, Aden.

In these conditions, the MSM-labeled ‘terrorist group’ became the main and the only real anti-terrorism force in Yemen. This situation showcases the cornerstone of the mainstream coverage of the conflict in Yemen and many other conflicts around the world. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” are no more just quotes from George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, but rather the slogan of the mainstream media around the world.

Ansarallah forces on the verge of eliminating Al-Qaeda/ISIS pocket in central Yemen

 

By News Desk -2020-08-12

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:00 P.M.) – The Ansarallah forces are on the verge of scoring a decisive victory against the Al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) terrorist organizations in central Yemen.

According to the latest reports from the front, the Ansarallah forces have captured several areas inside the Al-Bayda Governorate over the last 24 hours, including a number of hilltops and observation points.

The success by the Ansarallah Movement has put them in position of eliminating this terrorist salient near the Dhamar Governorate.

At the same time, the Ansarallah forces are also advancing near the Marib Governorate axis, as they look to isolate the Islah militia troops near the administrative capital.

Since the start of the new year, the Ansarallah forces have managed to capture a large chunk of territory in  Marib, Al-Jawf, and Sanaa; this has resulted in some important victories, especially along the main highway that links these governorates.

Yemeni Resistance Cleans Large Swathes in Ma’rib, Al-Baydha, Inflict Heavy Humanitarian Losses Upon Mercenaries
Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yehya Saree announced a wide military operation that took place in the provinces of Ma’rib and al-Baydha, stating that the Armed Forces, along with the al-Baydha residents completely cleaned the Radman Directorate.
Brigadier General Saree further announced cleaning the Qaniyah front and reaching large swathes of territories in Ma’rib.
He further emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces have made important and major progress, liberating around 400 square kilometers in Ma’rib.
Saree pointed out, relatively, to the major breakdowns among the enemy lines, inflicting them heavy humanitarian and material losses.
The Armed Forces Spokesman, accordingly, announced the name of a betrayer ‘Yasser al-Awadhi’ who coordinated with the countries forming the coalition of aggression to attack the Yemeni Forces in Darman. He also said that al-Awadhi continued to collaborate with the aggression forces despite being warned, letting many mercenaries, including from Daesh [the Arabic acronym for terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL’ group] and other Takfiri groups, inside Yemen.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces were able to monitor the collaborator’s activities, which included mobilizing mercenaries and stationing them in different areas as he sought help from the countries of the aggression that offered him cash, weapons, mercenaries and aerial support,” Saree explained.
Al-Awadhi, Saree added, contributed to establishing an explosive devices factory to target the Armed Forces in al-Baydha, with the countries of aggression putting at his disposal two military brigades, armored vehicles and weapons.
However, the Yemeni Armed Forces’ plan aimed at eliminating his scheme by advancing from four positions in an operation that saw dozens of mercenaries killed, injured and detained, not to mention those who fled during the offensive.
Saree announced cleansing large swathes of areas in al-Abdiyah, as well as inflicting heavy losses upon the collaborators and agents.
He further noted that the operation lasted for three days over the 400 square kilometers area in al-Baydha and Ma’rib.
Saree finally much appreciated the honorable stances of the al-Baydha tribes that were keen on Yemen’s security and stability. He then saluted all tribesmen who refused but to support their nation.
