News from Yemen indicates the steady march towards victory on all fronts by forces of the legitimate government in Sana’a as the aggressors, including the Saudis, the Emiratis, and the Americans have begun a retreat.
If it is only a matter of time for the strategic central city of Ma’rib to be liberated by the popular Ansarullah forces, whose relentless campaign against the might of the better armed rebels have also opened the highway linking the Yemeni capital to the port city of Hodeida in the west on the Red Sea.
In the meantime, the Yemenis have exercised their right to enter the deserted US embassy in Sana’a where suspicious elements on the payroll of the Americans were trying to stir up sedition.
Washington, which with the start of the Saudi-UAE invasion of Yemen some seven years ago had shifted its diplomatic staff (actually spies), to the southern port city of Aden in support of the fugitive from justice, Mansour Hadi, has been raving and ranting in fear that the Yemenis might get hold of documents still left in the embassy confirming the nefarious activities of the US.
If only, the Iraqi masses had succeeded in the closing days of 2019 in taking over the American den of spies in Baghdad, today the Land of the Two Rivers would have been indeed independent and free of US meddling. Moreover the cowardly rogue Donald Trump would not have been able to assassinate the two most prominent anti-terrorist icons – Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani and Iraq’s Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
Anyway it is still not too late for the patriotic Iraqi people to emulate their Yemeni brethren and enter the US espionage den in order to unmask the criminals behind the recent abortive drone attack on the residence of Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazemi.
The Yemenis have really bewildered the American terrorists despite the UN’s open enmity against them by illegally sanctioning certain senior officials of the legitimate government in Sana’a instead of denouncing the Saudi-UAE invaders and imposing sanctions on the oil-rich sheikhs.
Nonetheless, the heroic forces of Yemen, although lightly armed compared to the rebels and braving the Saudi bombing of civilians, are continuing their advance towards Ma’rib.
As part of their heroics, on Saturday they intercepted and shot down another US-built Boeing Insitu ScanEagle spy drone of the Saudi invaders over the oil-producing province of Ma’rib,
It speaks volumes of the ingenuity of the Yemenis to use a domestically-developed surface-to-air missile to shoot down the sophisticated American unmanned aerial vehicle over the al-Jubah district.
It wasn’t a fluke shot in view of the fact that on November 9 the Yemeni army had also shot down a Saudi ScanEagle reconnaissance drone over the same district of Ma’rib province. Earlier on September 27, they had shot down a US ScanEagle drone over the Medghal district of the same Yemeni province.
Now, with Hodeida and its environs in the Yemeni grip and Ma’rib about to be liberated, the UN should correct its crooked stance on the crux of the problem in Yemen by summoning up the courage to criticize the Saudis, the Emiratis, the Americans, and the rebels of the stooge Hadi, and opening up talks with the legitimate governmental authorities in Sana’a in order to avert a human catastrophe.
