Tens of thousands of people in the Yemeni capital Sana’a celebrated the fifth anniversary of the September 21 revolution which led to the overthrow of unpopular president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

Iran Press/MiddleEast: On the eve of the 5th anniversary, the president of the Supreme Political Council, Mehdi al-Mashat, declared an initiative to achieve peace in the country.

 He called on all Yemeni parties to engage in serious and genuine negotiations leading to a comprehensive national reconciliation that does not exclude any party, for the sake of building ties of fraternity and safeguarding the primacy of the higher national interests, Iran Press reported.

The initiative was welcomed by demonstrators. They say it's Riyadh's last chance in case it's serious about peace endeavors.

In September 2014, the Ansarullah forces took state matters in their hands in Sana'a amid the absence of an efficient government there.

Before gaining control of the capital, the Houthis had set a deadline for the political parties to put aside differences and fill the power vacuum. 

September 21st represents the starting point for Yemenis either to stay subject to contemporary slavery or to achieve freedom and independence through resistance against tyrants.
