Saudi regime should stop meddling in Yemen affairs: Analyst
Press TV has interviewed Kim Sharif, director of the Human Rights for Yemen from London, and Edward Beck, former US ambassador to Iraq and Mauritania, to discuss the ongoing Saudi aggression against Yemen.
Sharif believes the only way to resolve the crisis in Yemen is for the Saudi regime and its allies to stop their interventionist policies and “step out of the affairs” of the impoverished Arab country.
The analyst further lambastes Riyadh’s indiscriminate bombing of Yemen under the pretext of security concerns, adding, “The suggestion, which is laughable, that Saudi [Arabia] is concerned for its own security from the borders from Yemen is so absurd.”
“Who has been the early source of threat to the security of the region and the international community other than Saudi Arabia?”, she asks.
The human rights activist also says Saudi Arabia is supporting and funding terrorism all across the world, adding, “The idea of turning this issue into sectarianism or some other issues is just a feeble excuse to for these war criminals. One way or the other, they are going to be brought to justice. Let them be satisfied about this; it is not going to end here.”
Kim Sharif also calls on the UN Security Council to take swift action against the Saudi crimes in Yemen and stop Riyadh’s “genocide” and “war crimes” in the Arab country.
For his part, Beck maintains that “one of the concerns about what is happening in Yemen or has happened in Yemen is the spread of fundamentalism of whatever kind that always generates issues”. He notes, “By talking, by discussing, by negotiating many problems can be resolved, but that requires that the people participating in the discussions are looking for a solution and not for a victory for one side and the defeat for the other.”
