Saudi Regime Kills More Yemeni Civilians in Brutal Aggression

Sunday 29 November 2015
Saudi Regime Kills More Yemeni Civilians in Brutal Aggression
Alwaght- The Saudi regime has continued its brutal aggression on Yemen by killing killed 12 civilians and injuring 13 others in Mawza area in Taiz province on Saturday.
Local sources were quoted by Yemeni news agency Saba as saying the deadly air raids resulted in the destruction of civilian infrastructure in the region.
Reports say Saudi warplanes carried out a number of sorties on the area around Al-Omari Schools in Thubab area, Shuraija area and the districts of Maqbana and Rahida in south of the province.
This comes just one day after Human Rights Watch said that the Saudi-led coalition conducted at least 10 air strikes in Yemen  that broke the laws of war and killed civilians.
In a 73-page report issued on Friday, the HRW said Saudi fighter jets carried out at least ten “apparently unlawful” airstrikes in Yemen between April and August 2015, killing 309 civilians and wounding another 414 people.
"Human Rights Watch found either no evident military target or that the attack failed to distinguish civilians from military objectives," the report said.
"Human Rights Watch is unaware of any investigations by Saudi Arabia or other coalition members in these or other reported cases."
The 10 suspect attacks took place in Sanaa, Amran, Hajja, Hodeida and Ibb and hit residential houses, market places, a factory and a civilian prison.
The US has given strong diplomatic backing to the Saudi offensive and approved a $1.29bn sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia earlier this month.
Britain and France are also major arms suppliers to Saudi Arabia and its Emirati ally.
Human Rights Watch urged the United Nations Security Council to investigate its allegations and to remind the warring parties of their legal responsibilities.
Over 7,500 people have been killed over an eight month period of the unabated Saudi aggression against the impoverished Arab state of Yemen.
A recent report by the Civil Coalition for Monitoring Aggression on Yemen showed that Saudi warplanes have targeted, among others, 105 safe water networks, 108 power plants, 14 airports, 304 bridges, 104 road networks, 10 ports, 244 market places, 472 food warehouses, 212 gas stations, 1,231 schools and education centers, 34 universities, 844 governmental institutions, 161 workshops, 29 sport clubs, 214 health facilities and 564 mosques in all the provinces of Yemen.
Saudi Arabia began a deadly military aggression against Yemen – without a UN mandate – on March 26 to stop advances of the Ansarullah movement which is backed by the country’s army and Popular Committees. The Saudi regime intends to restore fugitive former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to power .
