‘Yemen War Is Genocide’
4 March 2017 (RT)* – No matter how many civilians are killed by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, the international community only condemns the crimes of the resistance, because they oppose Saudi Arabia, says Catherine Shakdam, Shafaqna Institute of Middle Eastern Studies.
Catherine Shakdam: It’s politics. There is a desire here to use this war in Yemen and try to portray it as a necessary war against terrorism. In [the case of the] Houthis – who are, by the way, just a tribe of northern Yemen – they are just members of the greater resistance movement in Yemen.
So, to portray it as just being this one faction, leading an opposition rebellion against the state, is simply not true, not accurate; it is not based on facts. It is actually insanity. It is playing into this desire to obliterate Yemen.
The Saudis want to impose their will on Yemen. The US is quite happy going along, because they are benefiting from this. They are making a lot of money from sending weapons to the Saudis.
They want to exercise control over the world oil route. They are hoping that the Saudis will basically hand this to them. That is a very interesting dynamic.
Then if you look at Iraq and Syria, it is the same game at play, where terrorism is being used, where you have some kind of a game of smoke and mirrors with narratives being played out to the public, when really the reality is quite different.
Yemen’s war is a genocidal war. We have known this for two years now. If you look at the degree of destruction; if you look at the casualties; if you look at the weapons that are being used against civilians systematically – this has been well documented. You cannot call this war a war of political restoration.
You can’t call it anything else, but genocide of war and a crime against humanity.
