Yemen inflicts biggest loss on Saudi-led coalition: Pundit
Press TV has interviewed Danny Makki, a Middle East expert from London, and Jihad Mouracadeh, a political analyst from Beirut, to discuss the latest developments in the Saudi war on Yemen.
Makki says the Friday attack by the Yemeni fighters against the Saudi-led coalition seems to be the aggressors’ biggest loss yet since the war began in March.
After the attack that left 45 Emirati, five Bahraini and 10 Saudi soldiers dead, the Persian Gulf Arab aggressors increased indiscriminate airstrikes against civilian infrastructures in the impoverished country, he notes.
The more the Persian Gulf Arab states intervene in Yemen, the more the crisis will grow, he says, adding that the warmongering monarchies have announced they will dispatch an extra 1,000 troops to the poor Arab nation.
He also maintains the Western states and in particular the United States, which are involved in other war scenarios in the Middle East have turned a blind eye on Saudi crimes against the Yemeni people as well as the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
The “United States allows Saudi Arabia to run riot in Yemen” as a leverage for other developments in the Middle East, where Washington wants a more moderate stance from the Saudi kingdom, Makki concludes.
Mouracadeh, for his part, believes the Saudis and other Persian Gulf monarchs are attempting to liberate Yemen. He adds the Saudi-led coalition has already taken over south of the impoverished nation, and now they are moving to take over Taiz and Sana’a.
