Y.A

A protest rally was on Monday held by dozens of Yemeni women in Dheala province to condemn the coalition’s war crimes and violation in Yemen,whereas the participants delivered several speeches expressing the Yemeni woman’s role in defening the homeland and backing the army with theirs sons to confront the coalition in the battle fronts,criticizing the international community’s silence towards the coalition crimes against the Yemeni people from women and children, hailing the achievements and triumphs of the army in various fronts.

The sons of Al-Qanaos district in Hodeidah province on Sunday organized a protest to denounce the violations of the coalition, whereas the participants stressed the persistence of steadfastness in confronting the coalition’s forces and and funding the fronts with money and men until victory is achieved, condemning the continuation of the coalition in committing crimes in Hodeidah, the unjust siege imposed and prevent access of food, medicine and humanitarian aid to the people of the province and other provinces,and calling on the United Nations, represented by its UN envoy, to do its duty to stop the violations and crimes committed against the people of the province in flagrant violation of the ceasefire.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
