| 2015-04-03 |
| [Iran Press TV] The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... (UN) says at least 519 people, including women and kiddies, have so far bit the dust in two weeks of violence in Yemen, as Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... continues to target the country with military strikes. In a statement on Thursday, UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos said that 1,700 people have also been maimed during festivities between rival groups in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... and in the Saudi strikes against the country. Noting that 90 children were among the victims of the violence, she expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... "for the safety of civilians caught in the middle." Amos said that tens of thousands of people have fled their homes due to the festivities in the country, with some of them crossing the sea to Djibouti and Somalia. "Those engaged in fighting must ensure that hospitals, schools, camps for refugees and those internally displaced and civilian infrastructure, especially in populated areas, are not targeted or used for military purposes," Amos said. Amos did not specify how many people were killed as a result of the Saudi aggression against Yemen. |
