Saudi destruction

While the sovereignty of a country is being violated, very few people have spoken against this. Why are people and countries around the world selective in their raising of concerns? Is the suffering in one country more important than in another? Or is the political significance of geopolitics the determining factor in human suffering?

There is no doubt that regardless of whether you follow the Islamic faith or any other faith or in fact no faith, you cannot argue that the humanitarian needs of a population of people is less important than any other nation.

Yet it is this precise logic that Saudi Arabia has been able to use with the help of its allies, America and Britain, to starve the people of Yemen.

It is looking more and more obvious that Saudi Arabia has been given carte blanche to cause whatever destruction it wants in order to pursue hegemony in its neighborhood and fostering sectarian killings around the world.
