Shura Council Condemns Saudi-mercenaries’ Targeting Civilians

The Shura Council strongly condemned the crime of the US-Saudi aggression that targeted Al-Akhdua area in the Maqbanah district in Taiz governorate, which resulted in the death and injury of 17 citizens, most of them children and women.

In a statement, Saturday, the Council considered the continuous bombing of the artillery of the aggression and its mercenaries on the homes of safe citizens in Taiz Governorate, as well as the border areas in Sa’ada, as a disgrace to humanity and war crimes.

The statement indicated that this crime reflects the extent of the brutality of the aggression and its mercenaries, in clear disregard for all humanitarian principles and laws, and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

The statement stressed that these crimes will only increase the Yemeni people’s steadfastness in the face of the aggression that targets the dignity and sovereignty of the Yemeni people, calling on the United Nations, the Security Council, countries of the world and human rights organizations to break the shameful silence regarding the genocide and siege that the Yemeni people are subjected to.

The statement held the forces of the aggression and its mercenaries responsible for this crime, and all crimes that target civilians and defenseless people.

In its statement, the Shura Council expressed its deepest condolences and great sympathy to the families and relatives of the victims who fell in this heinous crime.
