Al-Houthi: American and Israeli companies “deposit deadly poisons” in our food and medicine, and a boycott is a necessity for national security

The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, revealed that “Zionist and American companies deposit deadly poisons in food and pharmaceutical products, and then we buy them with our money and give them enormous profits in return,” indicating that “investigations in America have definitively proven that major companies in the West deposit in their consumer products what harms people’s health and spreads many fatal diseases.”

Sana’a – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Al-Houthi said in a speech that “America provided quantities of wheat at one stage as a donation from organizations, and it was subjected to nuclear radiation in a way that causes cancer,” warning against relying on enemies to secure food, medicine, clothing, and life’s necessities.

The leader of Ansar Allah affirmed that “the importance of an economic boycott lies in liberation from the enemies’ control and domination over peoples,” pointing out that “a boycott can be an incentive for local production as it is a necessity for national and food security.”

He added, “It is absolutely not permissible for our dependence to obtain our food, medicine, clothing, and life’s necessities from our enemies.”

Al-Houthi denounced that “there is a list of 50 countries from which merchants of Yemen import very simple things that can be manufactured locally with great ease,” asking, “Are businessmen still importing ‘sauce,’ which is among the simplest things that can be produced locally abundantly and without difficulty?”

He pointed out that “non-Islamic countries make food security one of the most important headings of national security,” warning that “when peoples remain dependent on others, they become vulnerable to pressure and their essential needs turn into pressure cards in the hands of their enemies.”

The leader of Ansar Allah called for “directing the matter towards local production and shifting capital inward to bring about an economic renaissance”, indicating that “agriculture itself will be the backbone of the national economy” and denouncing the lack of attention to “the developmental and economic field in school and university curricula” and the media’s focus on “chatter” instead of production.
