Revolutionary Committee: US Presence in Yemen Occupation, We’ll Resist
2016-05-08
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Yemen's revolutionary committee stressed that the presence of any foreign forces on the Yemeni territory is an occupation that will be met with resistance.

In a statement released on Saturday, the revolutionary committee denounced the arrival of US Marines in al-Anad air base in the south western province of restive Lahj
... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement
, describing it as a dangerous move.

"The free Yemeni people with all its tribes, popular committees and army refuse the presence of foreign forces on its territory, as it consider the US presence a clear colonization," the statement said.

The revolutionary committee also held the international community responsible for the repercussions of such move due to its silence.

"At a time political efforts are exerted in a bid to put an end to the aggression and the blockade, we stand before a dangerous move represented by the arrival of US invasion forces in the country's south," the statement read, according to Yemeni media.

The committee meanwhile, stressed that the Yemeni people are capable of confronting the danger of al-Qaeda and ISIS Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
terrorists, which are backed by the Saudi-led aggression.

"We are capable of doing so without any foreign interference."

"Once again we affirm that the presence of US, UAE and other forces is an occupation aimed at spoiling our country and wealth," the statement added, stressing that this occupation will be met with resistance by all means.

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...
has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition.

Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to runaway Hadi who is a close ally to 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...
