MBS Continues Criminal Killing Streak in Yemen

By: Kayhan Int’l

While almost the whole world is demanding that Saudi Arabia, especially Mohamed bin Salman (MBS) the self-imposed Heir Apparent of the senile King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz, be brought to justice for his cowardly killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the criminal who also holds the defence (more properly) war portfolio, is continuing with gay abandon his state terrorism in Yemen.

On Friday Saudi aircraft dropped bombs on a dense civilian centre in northern Yemen, leaving a trail of death and destruction with flames rising in all directions as rescue personnel struggled to douse the flames and save the survivors of the latest dastardly attack. So far there is no estimate of Friday’s unmanly bombing of civilian centres by the Riyadh regime.  

With the super terrorist Donald Trump backing him to the tilt, MBS thinks he can get away with any crime against humanity, without the least regard for even the latest demand from the UN to end the senseless war and killing of children by prosecuting the officers who gave orders for the attack on Children.

Last Thursday, on the occasion of International Child Day, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, called for halt to the war in Yemen, raising serious doubts over the supposed probe by Saudi Arabia and the UAE into the savage targeting of a school bus in August that killed 51 people, including 40 children.
It termed as "not credible” the investigative mechanism set up by the Saudi-UAE coalition to probe the school bus bombing in Sadaa, and renewed calls for an independent investigation.

According to Panel Vice-Chair Clarence Nelson, nearly 20 percent of the deaths of civilians in Yemen are children. He said: "That’s one in five civilians killed is a child under 18. That’s a lot of children.”

Reports confirm the deaths of over 20,000 civilians over the past three-and-a-half years due to to Saudi bombardment. This means more than five thousand Yemeni children have been killed so far.

It is obvious that the Saudis and the Emiratis, the perpetrators of the school bus attack, are trying to distort facts. Even though they have admitted the attack to be a mistake, they know very well that any independent probe will undoubtedly expose their crimes. 

And if the UN is allowed to prosecute those Saudis who ordered the attack on children, the first and foremost name will be that of MBS.

The killer of Khashoggi, who continues to order the bombardment of Yemeni civilians, seems to be in a contest with his Zionist cousin, Benjamin Netanyahu (the coldblooded killer of Palestinian children), as to who will win the devil’s praise in killing the greater number of children.

In his latest dastardly move MBS has reportedly removed from the scene at least 5 cousins objecting to the war in Yemen and the killing of Khashoggi in Istanbul, Turkey.

Yemen and its people are made of sterner stuff and despite the intense bombing of their homeland are standing firm against the Saudi crimes, with the iron resolve to defeat the Wahhabi regime, and if possible liberate Arabia from the tentacles of the Najdis.

Trump and team are on the horns of a dilemma – to condemn MBS for Khashoggi’s murder or not; to pressure him to stop the war in Yemen, or not.

Washington understands the futility of its plots against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the freedom loving people of West Asia. The moment saner minds prevail in the US to either denounce MBS for the murder of Khashoggi or to pressure him to stop the war in Yemen it would mean another victory for Iran and the freedom loving people of the region.

New unbearable crime of Saudis

By Mohammad Ghaderi

TEHRAN, MNA – Turkish officials speaking to The Washington Post and Reuters on Saturday said that prominent Saudi journalist-turned-critic Jamal Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi Arabian Consulate in Istanbul this week.

Khashoggi has been missing since he entered the consulate in Istanbul on Tuesday. "Based on their initial findings, the police believe that the journalist was killed by a team especially sent to Istanbul and who left the same day," the government source said.

The Washington Post columnist was known as a sharp critic of crown prince Mohammad Bin Salma, and criticized his domestic and regional measures. There are some points in this regard that should be taken into considerations:

1- As expected, European officials, who along with the United States, are among Saudi Arabia's main arms-supporters, have avoided to take any explicit, formal, and serious stance on the missing of the Saudi journalist. Al-Saud's petrodollars in the accounts of European governments have caused them to remain silent at this time in spite of Saudi family's obvious crimes.

The way Western officials encountered with the case of Jamal Khoshoggi has once again challenged the selective approach of human rights-defenders to this issue. Meanwhile, Western authorities have used both their public and covert diplomacy capacities to avoid turning the issue into a hot topic in their citizens' minds. However, the key question is whether this effort will be effective or not?

2. It is certain that the vicious efforts of the Western officials to cover those cases such as Jamal Khashoggi's murder, aren't going to succeed at the present time! The United States and the occupying regime of Quds, as the main two players involved in kidnapping and murdering Khashoggi, spent a lot on setting up their "political" and "media" games in the international system. But the power of the independent media and the disclosures made by independent journalists in such cases prevent the implementation of this vicious cooperation.

Since 2000 and the presence of George W. Bush presence at the White House, the United States and its European allies have repeatedly failed to overturn and distort the existing facts in the world and in the region. This failure also applies to the case of Khashoggi's murdering. Obviously, despite the desire of the Saudi security agencies, the United States, the Zionist regime and European countries claiming to be the defenders of human rights, the case of Jamal Khoshaggi will become one of the most important "media-security" cases in the near future. Even Saudis' billions of petro-dollars can't prevent the formation of this trend.

3. The likely abduction and murder of Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul occurred exactly at a time when Saudi officials were under constant pressure due to military defeat in Yemen and Syria and political defeat in Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon. Beyond that, the news from the Saudi court reveals numerous and fundamental disputes existing between the survivors of Abdulaziz!

Disputes that have led to internal conflicts in the court and even attempts to assassinations among Saudi princes. We have recently witnessed an example during the attack on Mohamed bin Salman and the shooting incident at the King's Palace, an incident that Saudi officials had been hardly trying to keep as a secret, but ultimately didn't succeed!

4. Along with the ruling anarchy in the Saudi court, we are witnessing the emergence of serious conflicts in Western countries over the European authorities' support for the Saudi regime. In Germany, for instance, we can once again see that arguments has raised over ban of arms sale to Saudi Arabia for the crimes committed in the Yemeni war.

Although the Chancellor of Germany, members of the German Democratic Party, and even the leaders of the Social-Democratic Party are all silent about this, and continue their give-and-take with the criminal regime of Saudi Arabia, but the protest of their citizens, the media and even some opposition parties has caused Angela Merkel and her entourage to be under pressure for this. The same is true in France and the United Kingdom: two veto-power wielded countries in the UN Security Council that have the blood of Yemeni children on their hands.

In the end, it must be said that the vicious silence of Western leaders against the incident of kidnapping and assassination of Jamal Khashaghchi once again exposed the true face of the claimants of human rights and exposed their true face to the public opinion of the world.
