The popular resistance against the Houthi coup erupted from the womb of the February 11 Revolution, because the situation does not tolerate tolerance for the project of suppressing the republic, just as the revolution tolerated the previous regime before when it gave it the opportunity to participate again in the political process and reform state institutions.

On February 11, 2011, Yemenis took to the streets in a wave of anger, an extension of the Arab Spring that swept the region, raising slogans of freedom, dignity and social justice, after decades of tyranny, corruption and marginalization imposed by the Saleh regime.
