A video circulating on social media shows a group of women in Yemen’s Taiz governorate declaring opposition to the Houthi movement and pledging support for anti-Houthi fighters.

The footage has not been independently verified. Its date, exact location, and the identities of the women remain unconfirmed.

In the video, the women identify themselves as “Harā’ir Sabir,” roughly translated as “the free women of Sabir.” The main speaker says they are speaking from Jabal Sabir, a mountain overlooking Taiz city, and expresses solidarity with fighters on several fronts in the governorate.

“We stand side by side with our brothers stationed on the mountaintops and the fronts in Taiz governorate,” she says, accusing the Houthis of seeking to change Yemenis’ religious beliefs and national identity.

The group also pledges continued support for fighters, with the speaker saying the women would stand by them even if others abandoned them.

The video emerges amid reports of intensified fighting around Taiz. Houthi shelling and clashes in the governorate caused civilian casualties.
