Al Saud's Fitna in Yemen - Includes lots of links for further reading

A collection of news articles on the fitna caused by Saudi's destructive war on Yemen, urged also by the U.S. using their intelligence and arms

Statistics since March 2015:
5000+ Killed (Conservative figures, local sources claim triple-fold more)
Targeted schools, markets. factories and refugee camps
80% of 25 million population on brink of famine

There are many Saudi casualties but they are all military personnel and not civilians. This blog lists Saudi's murder of civilians and not just the Houthi's.

1. "While so much international attention is again focused on Syria because of the refugee crisis in Europe, another less noticed war, less commented on, yet equally vicious, especially for the civilians who bear its brunt, continues to tear at the Middle East."

2. "And the war is really about getting control of Yemen, wresting control from the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bringing that whole region under US control, because the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait is of enormous strategic importance to the United States and Israel."
   "The port of Aden, which connects the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea, is of enormous importance for Saudi Arabia as well, because they fear that conflict between Iran and the United States will close the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. They depend a lot on that. So, there’s also of course a question of oil. There’s quite a lot of oil in Yemen that has been actually undeveloped and the Saudis want to get their hands on that as well. The war has pretty much been ignored by the Western press." Colmain - Political Commentator

"The airstrike slammed into Al-Sham water-bottling plant at the end of the night shift, killing 13 workers who were minutes away from heading home." The owner, Ibrahim al-Razoom, searched in vain for any possible reason that warplanes from a Saudi-led military coalition would have attacked the place.

"The United States has more than doubled the number of its military staff “providing intelligence, munitions and midair refueling” for Saudi Arabia’s airstrikes on Yemen."The number of so-called American advisors working at joint military operations centers in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain has risen from 20 to 45, The Los Angeles Times reports.
    In addition, US warships have also helped enforce a naval blockade in the Gulf of Aden and southern Arabian Sea.
    US officials stress the sea cordon is intended to prevent weapons shipments to Ansarullah fighters.
    However, human rights groups say the blockade has hindered imports of basic commodities, including food and fuel, to the impoverished nation.
