Saudi warplanes today attacked and destroyed a police station in the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa, killing at least 26 people and wounding 15 others. The tolls are expected to rise, with locals saying as many as 30 others are unaccounted for and believed trapped under the debris.
There isn’t a final statement on the identities of the victims, but the indications are that the overwhelming majority of the slain were Yemeni police, with a handful of other members of the Shi’ite Houthi faction that rules the city also present.
Saudi Arabia attacked Yemen last March, attempting to reinstall the former Hadi government in power and expel the Shi’ites. Over that period, there has been a massive civilian toll from Saudi airstrikes, which have been pounding residential areas across the nation.
In recent weeks, the airstrikes have been heavily concentrated against Sanaa, as previous predictions of ground troops quickly capturing the capital have not borne out, and pro-Saudi forces appear increasingly resigned to having their “temporary” capital in the southern port of Aden.
GLORY POWER OF WEALTH — ROOT CAUSE OF STARVATION
We all have a different ability to achieve property, which happens to be the only way for there to be a moral and just society. For if everyone had an equal ability to gain wealth, then there would be no one in need of help, plus no ability to ever experience compassion, pity, charity or a grateful response. Then in the realm of personal affection for each other, the only interaction would be mutual gratification, with equal giving gifts to equals and expecting equal in return.
Problem is, the public has yet to learn what a moral and just society is all about. For capitalist competition is the name of the game in society, with everyone striving to enrich themselves upon the misery of those in a lower class and with everyone enjoying mutual gratification, the giving of gifts to equal and expecting equal in return. And in the end, we now have the laboring-class lower-half of society earning poverty wages, and for those unable to earn a living wage, there is starvation and a short stay among the homeless before being sent to the morgue.
And instead of the ruling elite using resources to end the injustice, they are most in favor of it and look forward to a time when such a genocide of the poor will make extinct all those who cannot compete for income in a high-tech environment.
