Why it matters:
The appointment ensures continuity within Yemen’s armed leadership as the country’s forces continue their struggle against the Saudi-led coalition and reaffirm their commitment to liberating all occupied territories, including al-Quds.
The big picture:
General al-Ghomari, one of Yemen’s most senior and experienced commanders, was known for his pivotal role in the country’s defense strategy and his leadership in the face of foreign aggression.
Yemeni officials vow to carry forward his legacy of resistance and sacrifice.
Go deeper:
Al-Ghomari had been instrumental in coordinating Yemen’s military operations and strengthening defensive capabilities in the face of years of aerial bombardment and blockade.
Yemeni officials describe his martyrdom as “a loss to the nation but a victory for the cause of freedom and resistance.”
