Saudi Arabia, established human rights violator: Analyst

Press TV has conducted an interview with Tim King, editor of Global News Centre in Oregon, to discuss Saudi Arabia’s ongoing aggression against Yemen.

King says, “Saudi Arabia is a very established human rights violator”, adding that it is continually getting away with its “massive violations” just like the United States and Israel.  

He also maintains the entire Yemen issue “is a power struggle for all the wrong reasons”, arguing that it is unlikely that Washington stops its support for the Riyadh regime.

“The United States is so bent on keeping these radical extremist governments like Saudi Arabia and Israel funded and moving forward … but this situation is going to come back to haunt the Americans,” the analyst says.

Yemen has been under military strikes by Saudi Arabia on a daily basis since March 26. The strikes have been meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

According to a new tally, at least 7,000 people have reportedly lost their lives in the Saudi strikes, and a total of nearly 14,000 people have been injured since March.
