What is the purpose of the indiscriminate slaughter of the people of Yemen, whose fatality toll has reached around 400,000 over the past seven years?
Is it to restore to power an unpopular interim president whose term has long expired and who was imposed by outside powers rather than being elected by the Yemeni people, or is for some other ulterior motive?
These are among the questions raised by conscientious persons around the world as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) continue their crimes against humanity in the Arab world’s most impoverished country.
The answers may vary, according to the perspectives of the analysts. A closer look at the grim humanitarian situation in Yemen, however, reveals that the real reason is part of the bid by the West to extend the reach of Israel all over the Arabian Peninsula in view of the undeniable fact that the illegal Zionist cannot prolong its precarious existence on the soil of Palestine.
This means, both Saudi Arabia and the UAE are serving as agents of the US and Israel in their treason against a fellow Arab Muslim nation led by a popular government in Sana’a, whose consolidation spells danger to not only the clannish and cultish regimes of the Persian Gulf, but provides the oppressed Palestinian people with a solid base of support for the cherished goal of liberation of their Zionist usurped homeland.
It is thus not a civil war between the people of Yemen for restoration of the fugitive from justice, Mansour Hadi, and the myth of so-called internationally recognized government.
You don’t exterminate an entire nation through war, blockade, and starvation in order to bring back someone who seems to be abhorred by all.
To be frank, no one cares for Hadi, including his hosts in Riyadh, for whom he is a mere pawn who could discarded anytime the invading parties feel they are nearing their nefarious goal of establishing a foothold for the Zionists in Yemen proper – several of the Yemeni islands have already been leased to Israel by the UAE occupation forces.
The only obstacle in the path of the West and its clients in Arabia is the popular Ansarullah Movement which has shown its resolve to defeat the intricate plot against Yemen, its people, its democratic spirit, its independence, and its solidarity with the Axis of the Resistance that strives to rid West Asia of American hegemony.
This is the reason the aggressors and their supporters in the West are gravely concerned over the retaliatory drone and missile barrages from Sana’a that now target the military and industrial installations of both Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
These projectiles, no matter what equipment the US and Israel provide to their agents in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to try to neutralize them might set in motion the exodus of millions of expatriates and the resulting collapse of the economies of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. l
Neither the Zionists nor their American godfathers are capable of stemming the rot if this happens, and hence their bid to use all negative labels against Yemen’s defenders, such as ‘rebels’ and ‘terrorists’.
Therefore, the only option left for Sana’a is to continue its defence of the homeland and resistance, coupled with retaliation to compel the aggressors to realize their folly of serving the US and Israel by backstabbing Palestinians, Arabs, and all Muslims.
