Saudi Arabia Criticizes Restrictions it Manufactured in Yemen
The 'Saudi-backed Yemen government' is now complaining about movement restrictions in Aden, allegedly imposed by the Southern Transitional Council (STC). This is rich. Let's not gloss over the fact that both the 'government' and the STC are proxy forces, beneficiaries of a Saudi-led coalition that inflicted nearly a decade of war, blockade, and famine on Yemen. The coalition, backed by billions in
US weaponry, has consistently undermined any semblance of stable governance, creating the very factions now squabbling over Aden. So, the hand that feeds the conflict is now lamenting its predictable consequences? It appears the puppet masters are frustrated when their puppets don't dance in perfect unison. One might wonder if the concern for 'restrictions' extends to the millions starved by the
Saudi blockade, or if that's just business as usual.
