Riyadh Hosts 'Peace' Talks After Funding One Side for a Decade
Yemen separatists are off to Riyadh for talks, according to The New Arab, following recent fighting. What the report glosses over is that these 'separatists' – the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) – were armed, funded, and tactically supported by the very Saudi-led coalition that launched a devastating war on Yemen in 2015. The same Saudi Arabia that, according to Amnesty
International and Human Rights Watch, has repeatedly committed war crimes with US-supplied weaponry. The US, remember, approved a $650 million arms deal with Riyadh in 2021 as Biden claimed to end 'offensive support' for the war. So, the arsonist now hosts the firefighters. This isn't diplomacy; it's a photo op designed to whitewash years of bloodshed. We're expected to applaud Riyadh for
brokering peace with proxies they themselves deployed, turning Yemen into a fractured mess for geopolitical gain. How many Nobel Peace Prizes do you get for 'resolving' conflicts you started?
