Seven Years of Saudi War Crimes—and Defeats—in Yemen
By Kevin Barrett, for Crescent International
This March 26 marks the seventh anniversary of the Saudi invasion of Yemen, which commenced in 2015 at the orders of then-29-year-old Defense Minister and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The “Clown Prince,” as he is sometimes called, had no military experience whatsoever, and no qualifications for the job of Defense Minister aside from his dubious pedigree as the scion of a notorious family of bandits. Nonetheless this ignorant, reckless, supremely unqualified individual managed to insinuate himself into the Saudi military establishment, where he emerged as the leader of those pushing for war in Yemen. Bin Salman and his sycophants insisted that they would score a quick and decisive victory. But disillusionment soon set in. Even Western sources were calling the Saudi campaign a quagmire as early as 2015.
Now, seven years later, the death toll is approaching 400,000, the vast majority civilians. The United Nations asserts that 225,000 Yemeni children under five have died due to starvation and preventable diseases. Most of those deaths can be attributed to one man: Mohammad bin Salman. Four years ago, in 2018, the British Guardian accused MBS of war crimes, saying he “persisted in waging war using methods that had the predictable effect of depriving millions of people of food, clean water, medicine, and other basic necessities...(MBS’s) actions amount to the use of starvation as a method of warfare which is prohibited by the Geneva conventions, the Rome statute of the international criminal court, and UN security council resolution 2417.”
MBS has resorted to mass murdering the civilian population of Yemen because he has had no success against Ansarullah forces and their allies.
