Saudi Arabia sends evidence to UN of deadly Houthi attack on Hodeidah hospital
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on Saturday sent a letter to the UN Security Council that included "evidence of the involvement of Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militias" in the targeting of a hospital in Hodeidah and other civilian sites on Thursday in a series of kabooms. The letter demanded immediate action against the militias to disarm and implement the relevant UN resolutions. A Red Thingy statement denouncing the "reprehensible" disregard for human life said 55 non-combatants were killed and 170 injured "when a series of kabooms rocked densely populated districts of the coastal city, including a fish market and the area around al-Thawra Hospital." The Arab Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy in Yemen  ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...earlier accused the Houthi militias of carrying out the attacks. Spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki, said the coalition has developed many rules of engagement because of the nature of military operations. "We apply the highest international standards in targeting operations in Yemen," he said. "Houthi militias continue to violate international laws in Yemen," he added. "There are 22 million Yemenis affected by the Houthi coup on legitimacy." Col. Malki said the collision of a ship in Hodeidah confirms the failure of the militias in the management of the port, stressing that the control of the Houthis on the West Coast hurts the Yemenis and the international community. "We are continuing our operations to restore the port of Hodeidah and the West Coast in Yemen," he added. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-05 |
