Ministry of Foreign Affairs: US weapons used to bomb civilian facilities, kill the Yemeni people

An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sana’a ridiculed the US-Saudi aggression for attempting to evade their crimes in Yemen. Lately, a statements made by the US envoy to Yemen in which he declared his country’s support for a new mandate by the UN to enhance “accountability” of Yemen.

The source accused the leaders of the Saudi regime, Emirati regime, Washington, London and a number of other capitals (supporting the aggression), are at the forefront of those who must be accountable for Saudi-Emirati violations and crimes. “These violations and war crimes were carried out with logistical and intelligence support from the warehouses of the Pentagon, the British Army, and a number of arms factories in Europe,” the source emphasized.

The source pointed out that the huge quantity of guided missiles and munitions of all kinds ( including cluster bombs) are dropped by US and British planes. “They are bombing civilians, service facilities and infrastructure, causing thousands of casualties.”

The source considered the latest statements of the US envoy to Yemen an attempt to beautify the image of the US administration, circumvent the facts on the ground, to exonerate the coalition before the international community and portray the situation in Yemen as an internal conflict or civil war.

The source stressed that if the United States was honest in what it claims, it would have ordered its tools to stop the aggression and the siege imposed on Yemen, which was announced by Washington, “instead of continuing to supply the US-led aggression with weapons to kill the Yemeni people.”

The source renewed the call for the formation of an independent international committee to hold accountable perpetrators of these violations and war crimes against the Yemeni people.
