Saudi regime crimes in Yemen’s bordering areas are a disgrace to humanity

The Saudi regime continues to commit horrific crimes against civilians in the bordering areas. These crimes also target the African migrants that pass through Yemen to the Kingdom, which are faced with international silence.

Day after another, the Saudi regime asserts its excessive bloodshed and ending lives without respecting the slightest Islamic principles, human values, customs, and international laws that prohibit the the killing of human beings.

At the end of last December, despite the presence of the Omani delegation to consult with the Sana’a leadership as part of its efforts to renew the truce and move towards peace, the border areas in Saada governorate in northern Yemen witnessed a Saudi escalation through the intense bombing that targeted populated areas and left dozens of victims from the civilians and African migrants.

The latest statistics of civilian casualties as a result of the Saudi crimes in bordering areas within the province of Saada, northern Yemen

During the past two weeks, more than 50 civilians, including African immigrants, have been killed or wounded as a result of the Saudi bombing that targeted residential areas in Munabbeh, Razih and a number of other bordering areas.

A recent health statistic revealed the Saudi regime’s criminality against innocent civilians on the Yemeni borders, confirmed by the director of “Razih Rural Hospital,” Abdullah Musre’ in a press statement, that the hospital had received, since the signing of the armistice agreement in April, 111 dead and 796 wounded, who were killed as a result of the Saudi bombing of the Shada district.

The director of “Munabbeh Rural” Hospital, Ali Al-Ayashi, stated that the number of coalition casualties that the hospital has received since the beginning of this year has reached 169 dead, including Africans, in addition to 1,833 wounded civilians.

In front of all these crimes, hospitals in the border areas are unable to provide what is necessary for critical cases that are treated as a result of the lack of capabilities in these hospitals, which suffer from war, siege and scarcity of medicines, just like the rest of the health sector in Yemen, where these hospitals are forced to transfer most cases to hospitals in the cities of Saada and Sana’a

Part of the Saudi regime’s crimes against African immigrants at the border

Last November, a video report by the Al-Masirah Arabic channel revealed the ugliness of the Saudi regime against African immigrants looking for their livelihood after life in their countries narrowed them down and their destination was the Kingdom.

The scenes documented the targeting and liquidation of African immigrants by the Saudi regime at its borders, in brutal crimes that shame humanity, and are added to the criminal record full of tyranny carried by the Saudi regime.

Moreover, the scenes showed a cemetery that includes dozens of African victims who were killed by the border guards. One of the survivors of the massacre narrated that the Saudi soldiers deliberately electrocuted a small room with electricity after filling it with water, and gathered twenty-five Africans and eight Yemenis in it, and adds that everyone died instantly.

The witness, who is of Ethiopian nationality, revealed that he and others buried their friends at the border, pointing out that they used to bury a number of victims every day, some of whom were killed by mortar shells.

Ethiopian immigrants encounter all kinds of hardship upon their arrival at the Saudi border, which often ends in death at the hands of border guards.

It is noteworthy that the International Organization for Migration confirmed last July that Saudi forces committed nine massacres against migrants on the Yemeni border, which claimed the lives of 189 migrants and injured 535 others.

International reports (ink on paper)

Letters to United Nations experts in late November revealed that Saudi security forces killed nearly 430 immigrants and wounded 650 others in cross-border bombing and shooting between January and April 2022. They also showed that they tortured imprisoned immigrants and raped girls, some of whom were as young as 13 years old.

According to the report, at least 16 incidents were recorded of Saudi forces firing artillery shells at migrants who were on their way in the Al-Raqou and Al-Ghar mountains in the Monabbeh and Thabit district in the Qataber district in Yemen.

Reports confirmed that there is direct and intended targeting by Saudi forces, as Saudi security pursues a policy of using excessive force to deter migrants from crossing the border into Saudi Arabia. They use three forms of violence against individuals traveling in the region, which include: sniper attacks on migrants in Small groups, mortars, or shelling of migrants in larger groups, and shooting at migrants trapped in Saudi territory.

The Saudi regime ignores Islamic law and international laws

According to the foregoing, the Saudi regime proves its brutality against innocent civilians and against humanity. Neither Islamic law nor international covenants and laws that guarantee human rights prevented it from desisting from committing the most heinous crimes against humanity in light of international silence that turns a blind eye to the crimes of the Saudi, Emirati and other regimes. On the contrary, they condemn the simplest crimes in Europe and other foreign countries for political reasons and agendas in favor of America and Israel.
