TEHRAN (Iran News) – Crimes Against Yemenis Go On. It seems genocide against Yemeni people does not want to come an end as the Saudi-led bombing against this small and strategic country continues and the international bodies just act like lookers-on without taking any serious action against these crimes and even countries like the U.S. rushes in support of them.
According to reports, Saudi warplanes on Monday launched ferocious air raids on Sana’a and other cities after Yemen carried out airstrikes against strategic facilities in the United Arab Emirates in retaliation for its role in the protracted war on the country.
The air raids targeted Libby neighborhood in Ma’een district of Sana’a late Monday, leaving at least 14 citizens dead and 11 others injured, Yemen’s al-Masirah television reported,
The network’s correspondent in Sana’a said search for survivors under the rubble of a house continued in Libby, where five other residential houses were also damaged in the airstrikes.
The Saudi airplanes also targeted September 11 Park in northern Sana’a.
Al-Masirah said the kingdom had carried out more than 50 air raids on several areas across Yemen, including the central Ma’rib province, over the past 24 hours.
“The coalition’s warplanes waged 31 raids on al-Wadi, al-Jubah and Harib districts of Ma’rib province, while eight airstrikes hit Ain district of Shabwa province and seven other targeted Sawma’ah district of al-Bayda province,” the network said.
Two air raids hit al-Yatama area in the Khab Washa’f district of the northern Jawf province, and two others targeted Magbanah district in the southwestern province of Ta’izz.
Saudi-led coalition aircraft also attacked al-Jarrahi district in the south of the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah and launched another raid on Haradh district in the northern province of Hajjah.
Earlier in the day, the Yemeni army launched an operation deep inside the United Arab Emirates in retaliation for its role in the Saudi-led war on the impoverished country.
Five people are killed and two children injured across Yemen in massive raids conducted by the Saudi-led military coalition.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
Each time when Yemeni forces take retaliatory action against Saudi Arabia or the UAE, the international bodies start crying foul and reaction by condemning the Yemenis but when it comes to condemn the Saudi-led coalition, they close their eyes and keep silent. As we saw the U.S. came to full support of the Emiratis during recent precise attack at Abu Dhabi oil facilities and Western countries supported the UAE and condemned Yemenis.
As the UN reports show, millions of people in Yemen are not in good living condition and facing hunger as the major infrastructures of the country have been demolished and the country needs first peace and then reconstruction.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
Unfortunately Arab countries are blindly siding with the Saudi-led coalition against Yemen and it has emboldened the coalition to continue its attacks against the Yemeni people, mostly the civilians and women and children, and Yemeni forces have no option but to continue its retaliatory responses against the coalition forces and drone and missile attacks against the strategic facilities of those countries.
The world bodies and especially the United Nations should take a serious action against this dirty and criminal coalition to stop genocide in Yemen. Unfortunately Western countries which claim of supporting peace and human rights issues are major supporters of the coalition forces in war against Yemenis who do not want to be under domination of Saudis and want to live independently.
Yemen is a member of the Arab League but in the recent years, it has turned into an organization overwhelmingly dominated by Saudi Arabia, which has been leading a deadly war on Yemen since 2015.
The war, waged by Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies, intended to eliminate Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement and reinstall former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh. The aggression has failed to reach its goals and has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemeni people.
On Sunday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) warned that millions of Yemenis are facing rising hunger due to reduced food rations.
“Displaced families in Yemen face rising hunger due to the cut of food assistance,” the UNCHR said on Twitter, noting that over half of the country’s four million internally displaced people “live in areas categorized as an emergency food situation.”
“In January, millions will receive reduced food ration,” the UNCHR quoted the United Nations World Food Program in Yemen as saying.
Despite these reports and claims, crimes against Yemenis go on and Yemenis have no other option but taking a devastating retaliatory action against the aggressors unless Saudis come to their senses and stop their attacks and accept an independent Yemen otherwise Yemenis will fight till their last drop of their blood because they are part of the resistant front against colonialism and Zionist and Western-led domination.
