Islam Times - Saudis Failed Reaching Their Goals in Yemen: Ansarullah Leader

Islam Times - Ansarullah resistance movement says Saudi forces have failed to fulfill any of their set goals in their two years of aggression against Yemeni people, leader of Ansarullah resistance movement said.

Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi said Saudi Arabia has not reached any of its goals despite its relentless attacks against its impoverished neighbor.

Leader of the resistance movement made the comments during a speech on Saturday, the second year anniversary of Riyadh’s war against his country.

He stressed that the kingdom’s almost daily airstrikes against civilians in Yemen are nothing short of war crimes.

Houthi added that the Saudis, backed by several regional and international countries, were using some of the most lethal armaments against the people in Yemen.

Multiple international rights groups have issued reports documenting the use of cluster bombs and other internationally-banned weapons on several occasions in Yemen.

Ansarullah’s leader also slammed Saudi Arabia’s constant destruction of Yemeni infrastructures such as schools and hospitals.

While noting that Saudi Arabia’s aggression only served Israel's goal of creating instability in the region, Houthi praised the people of Yemen for their resilience and for safeguarding the country's dignity.

Yemen’s Legal Center of Rights and Development announced on Saturday that the Saudi campaign has claimed the lives of over 12,040 Yemenis and left more than 20,000 others wounded.

The center added that there were a total of 2,568 children and 1,870 women among the fatalities, noting that the atrocious onslaught had also destroyed 757 schools and institutes, 111 university facilities, 271 factories besides 1,520 bridges and roads.
