Today marks the sixth anniversary of the #Saudi coalition’s intervention in #Yemen. After 6 years of war:
1-The coalition hasn't succeeded in achieving any of its goals, most notably the restoration of Hadi government after the Houthis control of Sanaa in 2014. (THREAD) 2-The first crack in the coalition was when #Saudi exempted #Qatar from continuing with the alliance.
3-During this period, many countries withdrew from it, and the coalition failed to maintain the cohesion& strength of its legitimate justification.

My wife @JasminAbduljale said that today was a very heavy and intensive bombardment by #Saudi warplanes next to her house in Alhasabah area, Sana'a. #Yemen. Windows shattered and my baby girl Razan was crying!😥
They left the house and now they live with relatives! My wife @JasminAbduljale sent videos to me shows that the bombardment today by #Saudi warplanes was next to her house.
Sana'a. #Yemen.
I am not in Yemen with them and I am so worried. 😥
