Alwaght- The US has been training and arming the pro Saudi forces in Yemen during years leading up to the Saudi war on the country, WikiLeaks revealed.
The documents released on the whistle-blowing site include 500 documents, including emails and PDFs, pertaining to the Office for Military Cooperation (OMC) of the US embassy in Yemen’s capital, Sana'a.
They conclusively prove that Washington has militarily supported the Saudi-backed government of Yemen’s former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi before Riyadh began its campaign against Yemen.
The Saudi-ally Hadi later resigned and took refuge in Riyadh that later initiated a brutal airstrike campaign to forcefully reinstate him as president.
The WikiLeaks documents are related to the time period from 2009 to just before Saudi Arabia launched the war.
"The war in Yemen has produced 3.15 million internally displaced persons. Although the United States government has provided most of the bombs and is deeply involved in the conduct of the war itself reportage on the war in English is conspicuously rare," said Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder who has long taken refuge at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
In February 2015, the United States closed its embassy in Yemen over what it said were security concerns. A month later, Riyadh unleashed its war machine.
Washington has also been providing logistic and surveillance support for the Saudis in the military aggression, which has left at least 11,400 civilians dead, according to the latest tally by a Yemeni monitoring group.
