World Bank and IMF to finish destruction
By: Firestarter Date: March 5, 2019, 9:49 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The IMF and World Bank have been “helping” Yemen to destruction
since at least the 1990s.
I have found a plan that details the strategy of the IMF and
World Bank from 1999 to 2001 for Yemen:
HTML https://www.imf.org/external/np/pfp/1999/yemen/index.htm#I
First a short summary of this strategy.
The dirt poor Yemen must pay off their “debts” to the banks by
increasing tax collection, while at the same time increasing
prices. For example in 2005 protests broke out when the Yemeni
government guided by the World Bank increased the prices of oil,
diesel and gas with respectively 100, 200 and 50 per cent:
Increase the power of the legal system to protect the financial
institutions
Decrease subsidy, so what’s left of the economy will collapse,
but on the other hand increase the spending for hospitals and
education (so that only the good slaves will survive).
Following is my (more detailed) summary of the strategy of IMF
and World Bank for Yemen with excerpts.
Increase prices
[quote]raising subsidized prices despite lower world market
prices (also for cereals), thereby significantly reducing
subsidies, and by cuts in development expenditure (…)
the intensive civil unrest following the June 1998 increases in
administered prices pointed to the need to enhance public
awareness of the reform program to ensure that further progress
on reforms is not delayed.[/quote]
Increase taxes
[quote]the taxpayer identification number system (TIN) will be
extended beyond the current range of major taxpayers to medium-
and smaller-sized contributors and will be enforced through
penalties for non-observance. In addition, the need for
computerization to enhance the effectiveness of the TIN's use
will be reviewed.[/quote]
Reduce subsidies
[quote]in January 1999 the government eliminated the wheat
subsidy by liberalizing the trading and pricing of wheat--well
ahead of the initial target date--and plans to halve the flour
subsidy through an increase in price early in 1999. The flour
subsidy will be abolished in full by the start of 200[/quote]
More hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and schools
[quote]GDP for 1999-2001 are to be increased to average 8.2
percent for education, 1.6 percent for health, and 1.2 percent
for social safety net programs. In addition, reform programs
will be implemented in the education and health sectors to
ensure better management of scarce public resources (…)
To support this effort, trade in pharmaceuticals will be
delegated to the private sector by eliminating the government
procurement monopoly effective by the year 2000.[/quote]
Increase repaying of debts and a strong legal system to protect
the banks
[quote]The soundness of the banking system is vulnerable because
of weak enforcement of prudential regulations, high levels of
nonperforming loans in certain (mostly state-owned) banks, and a
weak judiciary system
(…)
government gives immediate priority to introducing the legal,
judiciary, and regulatory framework necessary to establish a
free market environment for private sector activity and
investment (…)
A new Central Bank Law will soon be approved by the cabinet with
the goal to become effective by end-1999. It will give the
central bank greater independence and focus its mandate on price
stability through changes in the composition of the Board of
Directors, allow it to issue its own securities, if needed, for
open market operations, limit public sector financing to
emergency loans, grant it freedom to define and adopt its own
monetary and exchange rate policy, and require greater
accountability (…)
Accordingly, the reform program over 1999-2001 will include
specific steps aimed at advancing reintermediation in a
competitive market environment and in particular to unblock the
loan recovery process. Measures such as requiring that all court
decisions be made in writing and published promptly,
strengthening enforcement through introduction of a bailiff
system, establishment of a quantitative system for monthly
monitoring of court operations, and reducing the fee for filing
a case in court will be considered. The delinquent borrower
notification system implemented in 1997 will be
continued.[/quote]

And it’s not only the bombing and blockade that finishes the
destruction of Yemen.
The situation is in turn used as an argument to stop the
“humanitarian” aid to Yemen.
The banks simply block the transfer of money to import food.
They don’t even disguise their sick plans!
In July 2016 importers couldn’t import food to Yemen, because
more than $260 million of their credit couldn’t be transferred
to foreign bank accounts.
In turn the traders must ship the money in cash to the food
seller (for example by plane) to purchase food:
HTML http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-shipping-food-idUSKCN0ZU0F2
In December 2016 wheat imports to Yemen were simply stopped due
to a “crisis” at the Yemen Central Bank. They can’t import
because it has “no access to foreign reserves at all”:

No Yemeni refugees to the EU
By: Firestarter Date: March 8, 2019, 9:24 am
---------------------------------------------------------
From 2014 on the number of asylum applications in the EU is at a
peak: In 2014 it reached 626,000 and in 2015 even doubled to a
whopping 1,255,640 first time asylum applications…
The bizarre thing is that almost no refugees from Yemen reach
the EU.
All in all, when compared to the famine, and bombing, there is
only a small amount of refugees that have escaped Yemen.
About 170,000 people have fled Yemen so far (written in 2016),
mostly to Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan (and even Saudi
Arabia). This is “small” compared to the millions that have
escaped Syria, where the humanitarian drama isn’t as bad.
Most of the escapees are not Yemenis, but returning foreigners.
The United Nations expects another 167,000 departures in 2016:
HTML http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-security-cornered-idUSKCN0WB0IL
The small amounts of Yemenis that do reach the EU are put in an
impossible situation...
In September 2015, the EU agreed upon a plan, under which
refugees (mainly from Syria, Iraq and Eritrea) be distributed
around Europe to relieve the burden on the frontline states of
Italy and Greece.
Of the agreed upon 160,000, in May 2016 only 1,441 were moved,
while some European states are contesting the proposal.
Yemenis are not in the top 30 nationalities seeking asylum in
the EU in 2015. More than a quarter that apply for asylum are
denied.
The 20-year-old Yemeni Waleed al-Shaibani arrived in Greece and
then applied for asylum in Poland. Poland initially accepted
him, but after having to wait for 2 months in Greece, Poland
suspended the refugee programme, and refused to accept Waleed.
Then he asked the Greek asylum service to be relocated
elsewhere, but was informed that Yemenis were no longer eligible
for the programme.
Waleed remained in Greece, but in desperation Waleed wants to
return home to Yemen:
[quote]We went to the IOM and asked if they can repatriate us,
but they said they cannot because it's not safe.
So our country is too dangerous for them to send us back, but
not dangerous enough for Europe to accept us.[/quote]
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) confirmed to
Al Jazeera that they do not organise voluntary returns to Yemen,
as it is not considered safe:
HTML http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/05/yemeni-refugees-europe-160508120321443.html
Of course the wonderful Kingdom of the Netherlands wouldn´t
refuse to help starving Yemeni refugees…
Over the past 5 years, a total of 3845 people from Yemen applied
for asylum in the entire EU, 150 of which in the Netherlands.
This is very small compared to the huge numbers of Poles,
Syrians, Germans, Russians, Indians, Chinese, British,
Americans, Italians or Turks that come to the Netherlands...
When the armed conflict in Yemen broke out in 2015, the Dutch
state secretary of justice decided to suspend decision making in
Yemenite asylum cases, by declaring a so-called “moratorium”.
This “moratorium” means that asylum seekers have to stay in
asylum reception centres indefinitely, so they never get a legal
staying permit. These asylum centres are not fit for sheltering
people for the 18 to 24 months that Yemenite asylum seekers have
been forced to remain there:
HTML http://thomasspijkerboer.eu/thomas-blogs/a-less-disastrous-policy-on-the-war-in-yemen/
I’m shocked: even the Soros funded Amnesty International
(finally) sees that something “could be” wrong with the
coalition war on Yemen. Amnesty International almost exposes
that this genocide is orchestrated by Britain, the US, World
Bank, IMF and UN...
In June 2018, Amnesty International reported that the coalition
“could be” committing war crimes in Yemen by interfering with
“humanitarian supplies”, because it stops the “aid-laden” ships.
They divert ships to Yemeni ports controlled by the “coalition”
or delay them for a month or more.
According to Amnesty’s Middle East research director Maalouf:
[quote]The times that these inspections are taking are
effectively obstructing the flow of humanitarian aid and
essential goods. And that is why, in our analysis, we have found
that this could amount to collective punishment. We’re already
talking about the worst man-made humanitarian catastrophe in the
world. And we’re not just talking about Hudaydah. We’re talking
about the impact on the entire Yemeni civilian population
here.[/quote]
HTML http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/06/22/565709/Yemen-Saudi-Arabia-war-crimes-Amnesty-International-Oxfam
In August 2018, the George Soros sponsored Human Rights Watch
(HRW), released a 90-page report, also calling for an
“independent” investigation into the war crimes by the
coalition. The investigations by the coalition, by the Joint
Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT), lack credibility.
The vast majority of JIAT’s public conclusions are that the
coalition acted lawfully, did not carry out the reported attack,
or made an “unintentional” mistake.
JIAT for example concluded that a September 2016 attack on a
water well that killed and wounded dozens of civilians was an
“unintended mistake” but HRW found at least 11 bomb craters at
the site.
The weapons’ suppliers to the coalition – including the US, UK,
and France – are “at risk” of complicity in the “unlawful
attacks”.
The US became a party to the Yemen conflict soon after fighting
began in March 2015, by providing direct operational support to
air operations. Unfortunately HRW “forgets” the role of
Britain...
HRW said the coalition should “compensate” victims of “unlawful
attacks”.
Besides calling for an “independent” investigation, HRW urges
Yemen to join the International Criminal Court (one of many
“criminal” courts that protect organised crime…):
HTML https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/08/24/yemen-coalition-fails-curb-violations
HRW or Amnesty doesn’t call for a UN resolution that condemns
the genocide so their reports are not much more than hot air...

Hodeidah
By: Firestarter Date: March 11, 2019, 10:04 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The Houthis control North Yemen (which is more like West Yemen),
where most Yemenis survive.
The Houthi “rebels” have control over one port through which
(possibly, hopefully) food can reach their part of Yemen –
Hodeidah. The coalition does everything they can to make it
impossible to import food through this port.
The city of Hodeidah has repeatedly been attacked. A UN official
warned that up to half a million civilians could be displaced if
the conflict in the country's southwest escalates.
An attack on Hodeidah would endanger the 1 million residents of
the city, as well as the over 2.5 million in the southern Yemeni
province of Taiz.
According to a May 2017 report by the UN Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (which includes Saudi
Arabia...), 19 million Yemenis, around 60% of the population,
don’t have access to food:
HTML http://web.archive.org/web/20171013145612/https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/UN-Saudi-Attack-on-Yemen-Port-Risks-Major-Humanitarian-Catastrophe-Mass-Displacement-20170510-0034.html
Saudi Arabia called for the UN to take control over Hodeidah,
to: [quote]facilitate the flow of humanitarian supplies to the
Yemeni people, while at the same time ending the use of the port
for weapons smuggling and people trafficking. [/quote]
The coalition airstrikes by have continued, including attacks on
the city port Hodeidah.
As a result of drinking contaminated water, Yemen is in the
midst of an unprecedented cholera outbreak. Hundreds of
thousands of Yemenis have already been infected:
HTML http://geopoliticsalert.com/photos-amid-yemens-cholera-outbreak-saudi-airstrikes-destroy-desalination-plant
In the first 8 months of 2017, only 21 container ships sailed to
Hodeida, while in comparison 54 container ships delivered twice
the volume of goods in the same period last year. Before the
war, in the first eight months of 2014, 129 container ships
reached the port of Hodeida.
The UK/US/Saudi-led blockade turned away or severely delayed the
Kota Nazar and 12 other ships, carrying aid and commercial
goods, even though the United Nations had cleared the cargo and
there were no arms aboard. Seven of those vessels were carrying
medicine and food.
According to Human Rights Watch, the coalition “[I]arbitrarily
diverted or delayed[/I]” 7 fuel tankers headed to
Houthi-controlled ports between May and September this year.
In July, 4 oil tankers with 71,000 tons of fuel, 10% of Yemen’s
monthly fuel needs, were denied entry. Two were allowed in only
after a 5 week delay.
In one case, a vessel had to wait 396 days before docking at
Hodeida, incurring $5.5 million in fuel and refrigeration costs.
According to the UN, the coalition takes 10 days to grant
vessels permission to dock at Hodeida, which is called“[I]not
delayed[/I]”.
The Saudi ambassador to the UN, Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, has
simply denied that the “coalition” blocks shipments of food,
medicine and fuel. Mouallimi even claims that Saudi Arabia is
“[I]the largest contributor of aid to the people of Yemen[/I]”.
Genocide has never sounded more philanthropic…
The result is the effective isolation of Yemen, according to the
United Nations, of the 28 million population, a quarter is
starving. Half a million children under the age of five are
severely malnourished, and at least 2,135 people, most of them
children, have died of cholera in the past 6 months.
According to the World Food Programme, the number of people
needing aid has risen from 17 million in 2016 to 20 million
Yemenis this year, or more than two-thirds of the population:

The following picture shows a remnant of a wing that was part of
a 500-pound bomb found at the Arhab water drilling site, Sanaa
governorate, where at least 31 civilians were killed in an
airstrike on 10 September 2016. It was produced by US defence
contractor Raytheon in October 2015:

In June 2018, the United Nations withdrew their staff from the
besieged Yemeni port Hodeidah, fearing that an attack by forces
led by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is imminent. The British
government also advised aid agencies to leave the city after the
UAE on Friday warned the British government an attack on
Hodeidah is imminent and to leave the city in 3 days.
The UN agencies planned to leave a crew of Yemenis to continue
some of the “aid mission”.
According to UN Secretary General António Guterres: [quote]We
are, at the present moment, in intense consultation. There is a
lull in the fighting to allow for them, and I hope that it will
be possible to avoid a battle for Hudaydah.[/quote]
The UN special envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, has pressured
the Houthis to hand over control of the Hodeidah, depriving the
“rebels” of any means to get necessary supplies (including
food).
Hodeidah is the entry for approximately 80% of the “foreign
humanitarian aid” to Yemen.
In Washington, the Senate has spoken some big words to warn that
a military assault on Hodeidah could result in the US cutting
off funding for aerial refuelling, without which the Saudi air
force can’t continue the bombing campaign.
Representative Ted Lieu said an attack on Hodeidah would:
[quote]plunge the country further into humanitarian disaster and
risk opening another power vacuum for Al Qaeda to fill. If they
cross that red line, the U.S. will have a strategic, moral and
legal obligation to cut off all support for the coalition in
Yemen.[/quote]
Experts say pressure from Washington could stop the assault.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he had spoken to Emirati
leaders: [quote]and made clear our desire to address their
security concerns while preserving the free flow of humanitarian
aid and lifesaving commercial imports.[/quote]
Two supposed insiders have said that Defense Secretary Jim
Mattis sent private messages to the Arab states, cautioning
against any attack on Hodeidah.
In reality these empty words don’t hide that the Trump
administration has close (financial) ties to Saudi Arabia and
the UAE:
HTML https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/11/world/middleeast/yemen-attack-uae-saudi-arabia.html
Over 4,000 families have fled Hodeidah in June and July 2018,
after hundreds were killed in the coalition’s bomb campaign to
take the Yemeni port from Houthi rebels. AP reported that
already more than 280 people had died from the bombs. The death
toll has surely gone up as the bombs continued.
According to a report by the UN, people have lost their entire
livelihood in airstrikes that destroyed farms.
Two fleeing Yemenis made the following comments: [quote]The air
attacks were extremely heavy and violent back there, hitting
humans, trees and houses – everything.
A lot of people died – children and seniors.[/quote]

The coalition announced that it had regained control of the
airport outside Hodeidah.
The Houthi rebels denied this and told SABA news agency that the
airport was completely destroyed, but was not surrendered:

Hodeidah
By: Firestarter Date: March 14, 2019, 10:05 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In August 2018, the “coalition” intensified its bombing on
Hodeidah, resulting in heavy civilian casualties.
The coalition used cluster bombs against civilian targets in
Yemen. Cluster bombs are banned under the Convention on Cluster
Munitions.
A market was targeted by two airstrikes.
The al Asayed Water Network in Sadaa was destroyed by 4
airstrikes, leaving thousands of residents of the Al Safra
district, without clean drinking water.
Water wells for Hodeidah and a sewage plant were destroyed by
Saudi airstrikes. This caused the interruption of water for tens
of thousands of families.
In 2 earlier incidents, Saudi attacks completely destroyed the
Al-Hamazat water system — leaving 7,500 people without water.
727 water pumps and tanks have been destroyed since the bombing
campaign begun in 2015.
Coalition warplanes conducted two airstrikes on a fishing dock.
According to Yemen’s General Authority for Marine Fisheries, 3
attacks on Yemen`s Hodeida in 3 days killed 28 fishermen.
In a separate incident, 4 fishing boats were targeted off
Hodeida’s coast, killing multiple fishermen.
See ablaze fishing boats after airstrikes, Hodeidah, 29 July
2018.

Airstrikes also destroyed a radio station in Hodeida. This is
part of the plan approved during a coalition Ministers of
Information meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 23 June, to curb
“negative news coverage” of the genocide of Yemen.
MintPress and other media were mentioned as a “threat” to the
coalition’s ongoing war in Hodeida.
In Sana`a, immediately after the departure of UN Envoy Martin
Griffith, the coalition launched at least 5 airstrikes on the
Sana’a International Airport.
A group of women in Hodeida were kidnapped by the Wahhabi
Giant’s Brigade, mercenaries who murder for the coalition:

(archived here:

In December 2018, it was anounced that a deal was made between
the Yemen puppet government and the Houthi rebels in Sweden…
According to the media, the deal made in Sweden is something
like:
1) The Houthis will stop attacking targets in Saudi Arabia.
[I]I think I understand what this means, but think it’s strange
that Saudi Arabia is allowed to continue bombing the starving
population.[/I]
2) The Houthis and Yemeni puppet government will swap some
15,000 prisoners.
[I]I think I understand what this means, but think it’s strange
that nothing is mentioned on the prisons controlled by the UAE
where innocent Yemenis are tortured.[/I]
3) Fighting in the province of Hodeidah will stop.
[I]Here it becomes too bizarre for me; there are armed forces
from both sides in the province of Hodeidah. Are they supposed
to simply stop fighting? Is it possible to have a ceasefire in
such a situation?
Is this meant to give the “coalition” the time to prepare an
attack to finish the Houthis off once and for all?[/I]
4) The Houthis will hand over the port cities of Hodeidah and
Salif.
[I]The Houthis have been successfully defending Hodeidah and
they are now supposed to hand it over to the puppet government
and the terrorist UN[/I]:
HTML https://af.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idAFKBN1OC0FU
Since the deal was made it has been repeatedly reported that
fighting has continued (it should have stopped completely on 17
December). Bizarrely it has also been repeatedly reported that
now the ceasefire appears to “hold” when there’s less fighting
for a couple of hours.
[I]Obviously our wonderful media have a different
“understanding” of what a ceasefire means.[/I]
Retired Dutch general Patrick Cammaert - who arrived in Hodeidah
- headed a committee to monitor that the Houthis will conform to
the truce.
Government puppet spokesman Brigadier Yahya Sariyah said that
Saudi Arabia has violated the Hodeidah ceasefire 223 times from
17 December to 23 December. [I]And why wouldn’t the coalition,
with the support of the terrorist UN, continue their
assault?[/I]
Street graffiti in Hodeidah shows that Yemenis blame the US for
murdering Yemenis. I’m just glad that the Iranian press doesn’t
expose the role of the UN:
HTML https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/12/23/583720/Yemen-Hudaydah-Saudi-Arabia
In January, Houthi rebel Mohammad Abdel-Salam accused retired
Dutch general Patrick Cammaert, tasked with overseeing the
truce, from not keeping his promises “[I]by implementing other
agendas[/I]".
On 24 January, about 1 ½ weeks later, UN envoy to Yemen Martin
Griffiths confirmed the resignation of Cammaert.
UN aid chief Mark Lowcock warned nearly 10 million people are
just one step away from famine:

Residents of the port city of Hodeidah are trying to find food
in the rubbish, while many have died after their houses were
bombed.
Yemenis are so desperate that they sell their underage daughters
to dirty rich men or sell organs for food.
Yemeni doctor Ashwaq Moharram explained: [quote]We have people
scrabbling through garbage tips to eat. They can’t even look for
food in their neighbours’ waste, as all of them are poor and
have no supplies.
Marriages have become a trade. If someone is in debt due to
poverty, hunger, and illness; they repay the debt by offering
the 12 or 13 years old daughters. Their husbands are sometimes
70 years old.
Some people have even started selling their organs, like
kidneys. You can now see adverts. They travel to Jordan, Cairo,
or India to undergo the surgeries.[/quote]
More than 60,000 Yemenis have been killed as a direct result of
the coalition bombs that has created the world’s worst
humanitarian crisis and pushed the country to the brink of
famine.
According to the media in December a deal was signed in Sweden,
under which all fighting would in the provice of Hodeidah would
stop and the Houthis would hand over the port city of Hodeidah
to the UN. This deal was a complete failure as fighting has
continued, including bombs from the Saudi airforce:

Re: Yemen – the ignored genocide

In August 2018, the “coalition” bombed a school bus with
children at a market place in Saada, north Yemen, killing 43,
including at least 29 children, with an additional 61 wounded.
A spokesman for the coalition said that the air strikes
“[I]conformed to international and humanitarian laws[/I]" and
that the Houthis use children as a “human shield”.
So now we have to believe that the Houthis are to blame for the
bombs on civilians?
Geert Cappelaere of UNICEF announced: [quote]NO Excuses anymore!
Does the world really need more innocent children's lives to
stop the cruel war on children in Yemen?[/quote]
The Houthis responded to this example of mass murder with:
[quote]The place is known to be a market, [and] there is no
military installation nearby ... but the Saudis are known to
have done this many times - target schools, weddings and so
on.[/quote]
In June, the “coalition” carried out 258 air raids on Yemen,
almost one-third targeted non-military sites: 24 on residential
areas, 3 on water and electricity sites, 3 healthcare
facilities, and 1 an IDP camp.
Jolien Veldwijk, of Care International, told about at least
"five very intense air strikes" targeting densely populated
areas of Yemen’s capital Sanaa:
HTML https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/yemen-dozens-children-killed-wounded-school-bus-attack-180809085843444.html
Top UN official Mark Lowcock, admitted that the coalition was
responsible for the attack that killed 31. He said another
airstrike in the area had killed 4 children.
According to Lowcock, it is not necessary to stop the war by
condemning the brutal slaughter of Yemenis with a UN resolution,
but instead: [quote]an impartial, independent and prompt
investigation into these most recent incidents
parties to the conflict must respect their obligations under
international humanitarian law and those with influence over
them must ensure that everything possible is done to protect
civilians.[/quote]
The coalition has repeatedly claimed that they “[I]go out of
their way to avoid civilians[/I]”:
HTML https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/24/world/middleeast/un-saudi-airstrike-yemen-children.html
The following twitter account was one of the first to show that
it was a General Dynamics’ Mark 82 (MK 82) bomb, made in the
USA, used to bomb the Yemen school bus that killed 51, including
40 children:
HTML https://twitter.com/HussainBukhaiti/status/1028195599575863296
In the 2 weeks following the bombed school bus that killed 51
people, including 40 children…
At least 31 civilians, mostly children, were killed in another
airstrike on a bus, killing at least 22 children and 4 women,
some 20 km from Hodeidah.
Four families were fleeing homes after earlier coalition
airstrikes killed 4 and injured 2 “[I]They wanted to save their
lives, their children's lives. Is nowhere safe for us?[/I]".
According to the International Rescue Committee airstrikes in
al-Duraihmi killed another 13:
HTML https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/24/middleeast/yemen-airstrike-kills-children-intl/index.html
A UN panel with “human rights” experts released a report on the
war in Yemen.
It was reported that air strikes by the “coalition” have caused
heavy civilian casualties and some “may” amount to war crimes:
[quote]Coalition air strikes have caused most of the documented
civilian casualties. In the past three years, such air strikes
have hit residential areas, markets, funerals, weddings,
detention facilities, civilian boats and even medical
facilities.[/quote]
The coalition has effectively blocked Red Sea ports and Sanaa
airport, depriving Yemenis of “vital supplies”, which “may” also
constitute international crimes.
The panel said its “investigation” of 11 incidents raised
“serious concerns” about the coalition’s targeting process.
[I]No need to report on targeting: farm land, and drinking water
and energy facilities…[/I]
United Arab Emirates (UAE) mercenaries have raped detainees and
migrants.
UAE Minister Anwar Gargash said that they will reply to the
report, and added that the region needs to be preserved from
“Iranian encroachment”.
The experts didn’t investigate the role of the US and Britain,
who supply weapons and intelligence to the “coalition”. They
“urged” all states to restrict arms sales ([I]“urging” will
surely make them all terrified[/I]).
US Secretary of Defence James "Mad Dog" Mattis told reporters
that the US goal is to bring warring parties to the negotiating
table and “[I]keep the human cost of innocents being killed
accidentally to the absolute minimum[/I]”.
[I]No need to prevent the deliberate starvation…[/I]
The experts’ panel also accused the “rebel” Houthis of war
crimes, like firing missiles into Saudi Arabia, shelling the
Yemeni city of Taiz and deploying child soldiers.
Reuters didn’t give the Houthis the chance to respond to this
article:
HTML https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-yemen-security-un-rights/some-saudi-led-coalition-air-strikes-in-yemen-may-amount-to-war-crimes-u-n-idUKKCN1LD0L9
After the UN experts group issued the report saying that Saudi
Arabia and the UAE “could be” responsible for war crimes,
describing violations like: arbitrary detention, rape, torture,
enforced disappearances and child recruitment by the “coalition”
and the Yemeni puppet “government” there have been lots of “big
words”, while nothing is done to stop the human catastrophe in
Yemen.
A UN resolution from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Canada and Ireland called to extend the experts' mandate by a
year.
The "Arab Group" led by Tunisia, proposed another resolution
calling for "capacity building and technical assistance" to
Yemen's puppet government, but without a mandate for the experts
commission to continue its “investigation”.
The UN Human Rights Council voted for the resolution to continue
the “investigation” - 21 nations voted for against 8, with 18
abstentions.
The approved resolution gives the UN “investigators” the task to
deliver another report September 2019 (during which time nothing
will be done to stop the genocide).
The Saudi UN ambassador, Abdulaziz Alwasil, explained that he
voted “no” because the resolution did not address his
"legitimate concerns", about the "lack of balance" in the
probe's first report:

Re: Yemen – the ignored genocide
By: Firestarter Date: March 21, 2019, 10:06 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In July, Saudi Arabia agreed to lend $2 billion to the puppet
government central bank office in Aden. Money has been directed
away from Houthi-controlled areas where most Yemenis survive and
most food imports arrive. In December, Deputy Governor Shokeib
Hobeishy said that only $340 million of that money has been
used, but it was unclear how much had reached companies to
import food.
Some traders say Aden favours government-held areas. One big
importer said it was not possible to ship new wheat cargoes to
the ports of Hodeidah and Salif due to lack of payment. The
importer still waits for over $50 million in foreign currency.
The central bank is struggling to pay public-sector wages. It
has access to a Federal Reserve account of $200 million, while
the Bank of England, in a great example of “justice”, has frozen
87 million pounds:
HTML https://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-security-food/a-bank-divided-yemens-financial-crisis-hits-food-imports-idUSKCN1OJ1PU
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have hired tens of
thousands of desperate Sudanese mercenaries to do their
fighting. At any time for the last 3 years, as many as 14,000
Sudanese mercenaries have been fighting in Yemen.
They were paid in Saudi riyals, the equivalent of about $480 a
month for a 14-year-old novice to about $530 a month for an
experienced Janjaweed officer. They received an additional $185
to $285 per month of combat. Every 6 months, each fighter also
received a bonus of at least 700,000 Sudanese pounds (roughly
$10,000).
By comparison, a Sudanese doctor working overtime at multiple
jobs could earn $500 a month...
A Sudanese critic of the government explained: [quote]People are
desperate. They are fighting in Yemen because they know that in
Sudan they don’t have a future. We are exporting soldiers to
fight like they are a commodity we are exchanging for foreign
currency.[/quote]
Most of the Sudanese mercenaries are survivors of the conflict
in Darfur, many of them children. Returned Sudanese mercenaries
have told that roughly 20-40% of the Sudanese mercenaries
fighting in Yemen are underage (children).
Ironically Sudanese families actually bribe local militia
leaders so that their children can fight in Yemen.
Thousands of Sudanese mercenaries have been killed in action by
the Houthis.
Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir has been an international
pariah for years. His alliance with the UAE and Saudis has eased
his international isolation by diplomatic support from the
“coalition”:
HTML http://archive.is/NwCnI
(original article:
HTML https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/world/africa/saudi-sudan-yemen-child-fighters.html)
Most of the Sudanese mercenaries come from the battle-scarred
and impoverished region of Darfur, where some 300,000 people
were killed and 1.2 million displaced during a dozen years of
conflict.
Most belong to the Janjaweed that were blamed for the systematic
rape of women and girls, indiscriminate killing and other war
crimes during Darfur’s conflict.
Last year, the Trump administration announced sanctions on the
powerful Yemeni Islamist warlord Abu al-Abbas, because of
working for al-Qaeda.
But Abu al-Abbas has boasted that he has received millions of
dollars in weapons and financial support for his fighters from
the United Arab Emirates.
In August, the Associated Press published that the coalition
systematically hires al-Qaeda members to fight the Houthis.
The war on Yemen has strengthened jihadist groups both directly
and indirectly:

Also interesting is the support by employees of BAE Systems,
EADS and associated companies to Saudi Arabia between 2000 and
2016.
Job specifications from BAE Systems of February 2017, show that
BAE employees continue to coordinate maintenance for the weapons
systems of all RSAF’s Tornado IDS, both in training and
operational squadrons.
The number one shareholder in BAE Systems is the Capital Group
(also a major shareholder in other arms manufacturers) where the
husband of Britain’s PM Theresa, Philip May, is an investment
relationship manager.
Another major shareholder in BAE Systems is BlackRock (also a
major shareholder in other companies including weapon producers)
that pays Bullingdon Boy George Osborne £650,000 a year for
“working” a mere 48 days.
Rothschild Capital Partners is also a major profiteer of the war
in the Middle East as it holds a 2.8% stake in Lockheed Martin:

So [member=40]Firestarter[/member], I suppose you took your toys
and went home like a big crybaby? Listen, I don't want the Koran

spiritual knowledge from that's fine but it won't be promoted on

I will delete any post I want here and I have no problem

NATO, US, Saudis and Serbia arm ISIS
By: Firestarter Date: September 22, 2019, 8:43 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This looks like one of the most underreported “bombshell”
stories of the year.
It shows that the Pentagon and Saudi Arabia are arming ISIS with
Serbian arms under cover of NATO. The father of Serbian minister
Stefanovic is also up to his neck in this scandal.
Government officials from the US, Saudi Arabia and UAE have
trafficked at least 3 million pieces of Serbian weapons (mortar
shells and rockets) to Yemen and Syria in the last 3 years.
The Pentagon has sent US Special forces to Yemen.
See an American soldier posing with Islamic State terrorists,
who are fighting the amazing Houthi “rebels”:
HTML https://archive.is/G72nb/3609f14c3c21b98b0fb8136bb6910464360b697c.jpg
ISIS terrorists in Yemen have often been pictured with weapons
manufactured by the Serbian state-owned arms factory Krusik, for
example in a 27 July 2019 propaganda video, which shows weapons
purchased by the US government in the hands of the Muslim
extermists. An investigative reporter traced this to lot 04/18.
These 82 mm M74HE mortar shells KV, lot 04/18, were purchased by
the US company Alliant Techsystems LLC (a subsidiary of ATK
Orbital, USA) for the US Government. The exporter was the
Serbian state-owned company Jugoimport SDPR, under contract
MP00135498.
The contract MP00135498, signed 20 January 2017, for a total of
105,150 82 mm mortar shells “for the needs of the US Government”
was worth $8,043,975.
The packing list for the export of 10,500 pcs was signed on 12
February 2018:
HTML http://web.archive.org/web/20190905034740if_/http://armswatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Yugo-Kru-Rev-PL-82mm-HE-GXX_10500ea.jpg
A 15 March 2018 e-mail between Jugoimport and Krusik show that
the weapons exported to the Afghan National Police (lots 06/18,
07/18 and 08/18) under Pentagon contract W52P1J16D0058-0006 were
shipped to storage depot 22 Bunkers, Pol-e Charki, Kabul.
The weaponsin the ISIS video in Yemen, lot 04/18, were shipped
to the same address but to end user the Afghan National Army.
On 3 April 2018, Jugoimport SDPR (the exporter) sent an e-mail
to the Serbian arms manufacturer Krusik to confirm the shipment
on Silk Way West Airlines flight 7L9632 on 15 April 2018 from
Belgrade to Kabul-Baku. Silk Way used a special NAG military
call sign for this transport. This is a military call sign given
by NATO for operation “Resolute Support” in Afghanistan. In
other words the weapons were supplied under the cover of NATO.
Silk Way Airlines, which the US Government hired to transport
the weapons from Serbia and Bulgaria, is an Azeri state-run
company. In 2017, Silk Way Airlines carried out 350 “diplomatic
flights” with weapons for terrorists in Syria, Afghanistan,
Yemen and Africa. These flights were chartered by the Pentagon,
Saudi Arabia and UAE.
The mortar shells featured in the ISIS video in Yemen, lot
04/18, 10,500 pcs., were shipped on a Silk Way Belgrade-Kabul
flight for 8 May 2018 to the Afghan National Army (ANA). On the
same flight also 2,406 pcs. (lot 06/18) and 2,920 pcs. (lot
07/18) of 82 mm mortar shells were transported to the Afghan
National Police (ANP):

In another video, ISIS terrorists were shown with mortar shells
81 mm M72 HE KV. These are from lot 01/18, purchased by the
Saudi Ministry of Defence.
As of 1 June 2018, manufacturer Krusik manufactured 11,880 pcs.
of 81 mm M72 HE mortar shells, lot 01/18, exporter was the
Serbian arms company GIM:
HTML http://web.archive.org/web/20190918160244if_/http://armswatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Dnevni-izve%C5%A1taj-01.06.2018..jpg
[B]The Serbian arms company GIM was represented by Branko
Stefanovic.
Branko is the father of the Serbian vice prime minister and
interior minister Nebojsa Stefanivic:[/B]
HTML http://web.archive.org/web/20190920202151if_/http://armswatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/GIM-Letter.jpg
The exporter from Serbia, GIM, signed 4 contracts in 2016 and
2018 with Saudi Arabia for the delivery of 517,000 pcs. of
mortar shells from Krusik.
The importers in Saudi Arabia were 2 private companies: Rinad Al
Jazira, Saudi Arabia and Larkmont Holdings LTD, an offshore
company registered in the British Virgin Islands. The end user
was the Ministry of Defence of Saudi Arabia.
There was also an apparent fraud involved (kickbacks and/or
money laundering for the father of minister Nebojsa
Stefanivic?). GIM purchased weapons from Krusik at a much lower
price than normal.
See for example that GIM paid a much lower price per mortar
shell than for example the state-owned company Jugoimport SDPR.

The weapons were exported from GIM to Saudi Arabia again on Silk
Way Airlines flights, or by sea from the port of Burgas in
Bulgaria to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has purchased 1,286,462 pcs. of ammunition from the
Serbian arms factory Krusik since 2017. This is just a small
part of a covert international weapons shipment network for
arming terrorists in the Middle East:
