Locals in northern Yemen are reeling after a weekend Saudi attack in the Saada Province. At least 17 people were reported either killed or wounded in the raid on the city of Manbe.
The details are still emerging, and it appears most of the casualties were injuries. The two confirmed killed so far were a woman and a 10-month-old infant.
The attack took place Sunday, and Yemeni media reported that Saudi border guards carried out the shootings. Saudi Arabia has yet to offer details on what happened.
That’s not unusual for the Saudis, who are not fond of sharing information unless they can spin it to blame the Houthis for something. This incident, by contrast, seems to be getting the Saudis blamed for violating a truce.
TYPICAL. No outcry from the WEST at Saudi Atrocities. Blame the RUSSIANS
I am so surprised. I am also so surprised that Biden is considering selling offensive weapons to the Saudis again.
So, killing a Saudi citizen who happened to write for western papers gets you ostracized and made a (temporary) pariah. Killing hundreds of thousands through war and sanctions, not a peep. Truly, the west is a moral and just force, deserving to lead the world.
Must have been using “offensive” weapons purchased elsewhere. Our weapons are of the “defensive” variety. Thankfully, Joe can still make his visit.
