We have recently conducted a questionnaire, to which we ask locals in Yemen three questions:

1• Why are you against aggression?
2• How did it affect you?
3• Why do you support the defensive armed struggle against aggression?

The following are their answers.

#Yemen

"I am against aggression because their aggression attacked a sovereign state, and their brutal and unjust aggression killed, displaced, destroyed, shed blood, besieged our people and plundered Yemen’s wealth."

- Mohammad,
Civil engineer, Sana'a

"It is logical for any person to refuse an attack against him and his homeland. Also, the history of the Saudi Kingdom is known for violating the sovereignty of Yemen for decades."

- Abdullah,
Data transmission manager, Yemen Mobile

"We, free Yemenis, our freedom, our dignity, and the sovereignty of our lands are above everything. And this criminal aggression, the Saudi-American terrorist, aims to rob us of our freedom, our dignity and the sovereignty of our lands..."

- Yonas,
Yemeni University student

"I am against aggression because the coalition countries attacked my country, Yemen, a sovereign state, without any preludes or reasons for war..."

- Mohammad,
Citizen of Sana'a (occupation unknown)

"I am against aggression because it is against my country in the first place. And because Western imperialism is the one standing behind it..."

- Anas,
Member of the Yemeni Socialist Party

"Of course I am against aggression, because my country was subjected to a Saudi-American military attack, while their siege suffocated an entire people, occupied the islands, and disrupted airports and sea ports."

- Abdullah,
Citizen of Sana'a (occupation unknown)

"I am against the Saudi aggression because it is purely arbitrary against my country, and thousands of women and children have been killed under fictitious names that have no connection with reality..."

- Jawaher,
Dentistry student, Saba'a University

"I am against the aggression that came under the pretext of restoring the Republic. I ask them a question here: How do you restore the Republic while you are suffering under bombardment by an oppressive, tyrannical monarchy?"

- Hashim,
Citizen of Sana'a (occupation unknown)

"I am a Yemeni and all Yemenis are against the Saudi-American aggression, because the aggression kills children and women and works to restore and impose American tutelage and hegemony on Yemen."

- Yahya,
Student at Iqra' University

"I am against aggression because it violated the sovereignty and inviolability of our country, killed the innocents in cold blood and destroyed our crops and offspring."

- Mohammad,
Citizen of Hodeidah (occupation unknown)

"If we did not stand against the barbaric aggression, Yemen would have been like any of the other countries in our region colonized by the imperialists..."

- Yasser,
Employee of the Ministry of Finance

"I am against the American enemy that has waged a war against Yemen for six years, because it wants to rob us of our dignity and plunder the goods of our land, and this we will not allow."

- Ahmad,
Citizen of Sana’a (occupation unknown)
