Press TV has conducted an interview with Eric Draitser, the founder of stopimperialism.com from New York, to discuss the Saudi military aggression against Yemen.

The political commentator believes that the Saudi monarchy and its backers in Washington seek to install a “puppet regime” in Yemen and maintain their “hegemony” in the troubled country.

The Riyadh regime has waged a proxy war to restore the “illegitimate” government of Yemen’s fugitive president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, to power and collectively punish the Yemenis people, Draitser argues.

He further slams the Saudi war on Yemen, saying that the aerial assault violates all norms under international law.

The analyst maintains that the Ansarullah movement is a part of an indigenous resistance which is snubbing foreign meddling in their country and seeks independence from the Saudi hegemony.
