US terrorist label “badge of honor” for Us: Anssarullah

Mohammed Abdulsalam, Spokesman of Yemen’s Anssarallah Movement and senior negotiator of the Sana’a National Salvation Government, slammed a recent decision by the United States to designate the popular group as “terrorist” and impose sanctions on some of its leaders, saying the move is in fact a “Badge of Pride” for the movement.
“Such a move confirms that we have successfully stood up against the interests of the United States, and we will resist any act of “aggression”. Whatever the Yemeni leadership, the Armed Forces Command as well as Popular Committees (Houthis’ fighters) stipulate is a legal and definitive option,” Abdulsalam, told al-Masirah television network.
He said the US decision to blacklist Anssarullah will have no political, economic or humanitarian consequences since Yemenis have already experienced such measures in the past.
He added that the Yemeni nation is not living on foreign aid but is instead trying to rely on its own indigenous resources.
The United States claimed on Tuesday it had exempted aid groups, the United Nations, the Red Cross and the export of agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices from its designation of Houthis movement as a foreign terrorist organization.
