The Chairman of the Shura Council, Dr. Ahmed Obaid bin Dagher, stressed that today’s defense of the September 26 Revolution, despite its deep wounds, is a defense of national unity, a single Yemeni identity, and equal citizenship.

With the establishment of the republic, the isolation imposed by the Imamate regime on North Yemen ended. The revolution opened the door to competition for power, as power was no longer the monopoly of a family or class based on a religious text, but rather the rule was based on a democratic constitutional foundation, which made everyone equal in rights and duties.
