WSJ EB: Another U.S. Embarrassment in Yemen
wsj.com/articles/anoth…
Since Houthis were removed from the FTO list, they launched 50 IBMs & 255 drones on districts in Yemen & Saudi Arabia up until mid Oct 21. That’s 12.69% of total ballistic missiles, and 33.78% of the total number of drones launched since Jan 2015.
Since the delisting in Feb to early Oct, more than 267 Yemeni civilians and soldiers were killed and over 215 were wounded from the ballistic missiles and drones. During this time, there were 21 kidnappings and unjust imprisonments, and 2 public executions.

THREAD @KingSalman at emergency #Mecca Summit: The Iranian regime’s interference in the internal affairs of the countries of the region, development of nuclear & missile programs, and its threats to freedom of international shipping, is a threat to the security of the world.
“We call on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities regarding threats posed by Iran...and to use all means to stop the regime from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. And its sponsorship of terrorist activities in the region.”
“It should be noted that the failure to deter and confront the subversive activities of the Iranian regime in the region is what allowed it to continue and escalate in the way we see today”

Just watched #KingdomofSecrets by @FareedZakaria on @CNN. A collection of out of context half truths & old, tired stereotypes put into dramatical sequence. Really hoped it would reflect an accurate picture of what is going on in #KSA & dynamics behind it. Really disappointing.
Saudis are tired of the shallow understanding of their society & history that was embodied by this @CNN documentary. Using punchlines & soundbites to gloss over massively complex issues does not reflect an accurate picture at all. Shallow & sensational.
Many logical fallacies in doc, #KSA is an easy target for sensational stories that later get debunked.from the”wife tracking app” to the enquirer saga, to the many false stories over past 3 yrs. Does @CNN tell you that those stories turned out to be false? Don’t hold your breath.

UK's arms export supervisor attacks NGOs over Yemen deaths @GrahamJones_MP
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Jones told the defence select committee that NGOs were “dishonest” in their reporting. “We see it time and time again with regards to airstrikes – there is a gross exaggeration by NGOs as to what has happened. You just have to pick up the newspaper.
He said many civilian deaths were because Houthi forces placed human shields in the way of the west’s allies. “I never read from the NGO community the huge problem we have now where human shields are being used.
