Hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, to protest one year of Saudi coalition bombardment of the Yemeni people. Despite the threat of Saudi jets hovering in the skies above them, the people of Yemen demonstrated their resistance and resilience, their determination to secure their right to decide their own future and to defend their national sovereignty.

They chanted their defiance at the infuriated Saudi war-planes who were witnessing the heart of the revolution against the largest absolute monarchy in the world. The Saudi despotic regime has perceived Yemen to be their fiefdom for decades and is attempting to violently silence their legitimate voice demanding freedom from Saudi colonialism and corruption.

These protests signalled to the Saudi coalition that it is the people of Yemen who have ultimate legitimacy.

Protestors gathered at Saba’een Square, Sanaa to denounce Saudi aggression that has left over 9000 dead, one third of them, children.

“US backed Saudi war criminals flying low over millions of Yemenis decrying war.”

The following is a short piece written by one young 17 year old Yemeni girl, Fatima Noman, who epitomizes Yemen’s unbroken spirit and refusal to bow down to the Saudi coalition illegal war of aggression.

365 Days are Longer Than a Year

“Tell me how did you spend the last 365 days? Did you end up getting that job offer? Did you get that scholarship you were working so hard to get? Did you graduate high school/university or perhaps you just got your pHD! Whatever you achieved I congratulate you!

Well I’d like to speak of my 365 days.

You know how we always chant the phrase day by day it all seems the same but looking back it’s so different. I aged a life time within 365 days. I have experienced so much from fleeing my home to running down a set of 70 stairs in fear of a jet blowing up our third floor.

Crying for nights and nights feeling death encircling me to laughing to the sound of explosions. Yes, I have lived some of the worst days of my life but I wouldn’t change them for the world. Only now have I realized what an enormous amount of pride comes with being Yemeni.

I am now in my senior year and I have broke down into fits of tears more times than I can count in school due to the sudden air raids but my friends support me with a jolt of strength I’ve never experienced before.

This year everything is so different. Once I was crying in class from a mix of fear and stress then suddenly the whole class surrounded me with a group hug and I don’t remember feeling so loved in my entire life. This coalition has done and is still doing damage that seems irreparable at time but one thing that no one but them has managed to do is unite this country into one.

I feel so complete. Now I know I am capable of facing anything life throws at me, I know I am strong enough. I will always have a constant reminder of my strength the blood of the martyrs who sacrificed everything for me to be able to live a life, a life worth living.

It’s truly quite peculiar how even though death has the key to my back door I sleep safe and sound. I still do get grounded and I still am clumsy you’d think death would make me a bit more graceful but nope! I still am the same girl who runs around tables and makes weird faces at my mom to make her laugh cause oh boy does her laugh make me feel five again.

365 days are enough to change people’s perspectives, their ideologies.

365 days of undeniable strength, of determination.

365 days are no longer just a year.”

Where have all the American and British Jew hate/Israel hate commenters gone?
Does the fact that 93% of deaths and injuries in Yemen are CIVILIANS by their evil country make them silent? Does the fact that Britain is selling Saudi Arabia weapons worth billions make them not want to comment?
Ah, if it were Israel, this thread would be flooded with rabid, Jew hate/Israel hate pretzel twist lies.

Yemen suffers increasing warfare on its cities with blithe disregard of international obligations to protect life — theWest ensures there be no repercussions.
Women and children, hospitals, schools, seem the specialty of destruction by Saudis. Directed by the Evil United Spawns of Satan America.
The stats:
• Civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict in Yemen. More than 2,000 children have been killed or injured in the fighting (UN, March 2016). In February 2016 “at least 168 civilians were killed and 193 injured, around two-thirds of them by Coalition airstrikes” (UN, March 2016)

A recent UN report has detailed more than 100 possible breaches of international humanitarian law by the Saudi-led coalition, with the targets including “camps for internally displaced persons and refugees; civilian gatherings, including weddings; civilian vehicles, including buses; civilian residential areas; medical facilities; schools; mosques; markets, factories and food storage warehouses; and other essential civilian infrastructure.”

With all that data available, Britain, the muslim licking, muslim cock sucking, muslim cunt loving Isles of Paedophiles & Parasites, insists it is in the interests of the paedophiles to sell Paveway Precision Guided Missiles and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft.

It licensed an astounding £2.8 billion of weapons sales to Saudi Arabia in the six months after the bombing started.

Britain has continued to grant these licences despite overwhelming evidence of repeated breaches of international humanitarian law.

• This is in clear violation of Britain’s own guidelines on arms sales, and European and international law, and makes a mockery of the government’s claims to ‘rigorously’ control arms exports.

The scale of human suffering is almost incomprehensible.
Stephen O’Brien, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator

So what? Yemen is the poorest country in the ME. Let them die. So American bases will be protected. So Britain can earn billions to fill the coffers of the British Mongrel Monarchy, Westminister, and Whitehall.
While STARVATION is a reality in the streets of Britain.

  Emotions can indeed run high when faced with the seemingly impregnable fortress of the White House.Westminster Alliance. Just keep posting comments as best you can and wherever possible, post links to ‘real news’ on the presstitute sites so that the sheeple can see them. Most will be too dumb to read or understand, but persistence does pay off. I have seen in the last few years, a growing number of those same sheeple turning around and asking meaningful questions. The number of comments which question or contradict the official narrative is growing. I believe it is because of those who are raising their voices, and hence awareness.

    You are one of the rare commenter who appreciates hitting the gut. Most immediately absolve themselves and blame it on the jooos, illuminati, country is hijacked, we are helpless, there’s nothing we can do, blah blah refrain.
    Your comment is a splash of cooling water on a very, very hot day.
    Most welcome.

  You make an assumption that Israel has no interest in the destruction of Yemen, or is not involved in the attacks on Yemen. Where are the facts supporting such a claim?

      Your emotionally insane response is typical of a Hasbara troll. You just outed yourself and destroyed any previous attempts at misleading the public.

        The Evil Insane are all in the West. The West that has been killing, plundering sovereign nations for last 5 centuries. You couldn’t refute a single sentence of my comment instead your moronic brains goes one track — attack the Jews. Look around the West. Who is suffering if not you terminally stupid hoi polloi of the West.
        Soon you will have to suck muslim cock all the time.
        That goes for all morons of your ilk and their comments.

        For all who might read the above comment by “QVC”. It is a perfect example of the tactics used by a paid troll. Yes, these people are paid, and they receive instruction on how to manipulate public opinion. They offer no credible sources to make their comments. If they do, it is from corporate, mainstream, NWO media outlets, known to be linked with the NWO. If they can garner no credit using those tactics, they turn to viscious attacks, using derogatory language, in attempts to “crush” whomever they are engaged.
        Sounds just like the NWO mentality doesn’t it? Lie and deceive and if that fails, attempt to destroy. It is not the people of the West that have plundered, but the wealthy and greedy who have infiltrated positions of power in our nation’s capitals.Your strategy of “guilt-tripping” the average Westerner is inane and will not work on intelligent individuals.
        Now go back into your cave, troll, and pick up your dime, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

  In an expansion of Operation Mockingbird,
  the agency are now creating fake user accounts on various internet
  forums and social media channels, arguing politics with real users in an
  attempt to stifle and subvert genuine communications between users. According to RT news, agents have up to “10 fake shill accounts” used to
  troll and create the illusion of having a genuine network of friends. Sounds like the above commenter, “QVC” to me. Yes we know that the West has been infiltrated by the likes of Zionist Jews ala Rothschilds and their shabbos goy. You are a coward, and will one day reap the evil you are sowing.

    You are representative of EVIL. You are a murderer. Complicit in the Crimes Against Humanity, the Killing of Innocents by your most Evil country. May you die with your eyes burning in their sockets, and your flesh fall off its bones. America is done. We will rejoice seeing your collapse in coming days.

      You seem to equate all white people with their infiltrated government. You think Asia is such a land of peace? Take for example the great Chairman Mao, who with the help of his own people, murdered over 60 million innocent people.
      - QV3
        
        There are white people who are ashamed of their white race crimes against humanity. Most are not ashamed and shamefully defend their government
        You absolve your evil by blaming Jews.
        When it is so evident and clear to the entire world that it is White America and White Britain who have arguably
        engaged in and generated the legacy of one of the longest recorded attacks of terrorism since World War Two.
        The world also sees White Serbs are dragged and sentenced by the Hague for the crime of protecting their people.
        While White Bush and White Blair roam free earning millions. And White people support them.

        Do not talk of Mao or Stalin.
        White countries tout and beat the drums those are communist nations. White nations are oh so democracy, human rights, right to protect – euphemism for invade, murder, plunder, death, destruction.
      - anna miller
        
        “Do not talk of Mao or Stalin.”
        We can discuss the “evil white countries” but not communist China, or Bolshevik Russia, movements funded and carried out by Jews?
        That would defy the very essence of freedom of speech, in which you
        state that you support.
        You have a hidden agenda, one based on the Cultural Marxist ideology.
        Slam the white race and attempt to deride and subjugate ot divide and conquer. I will give you the last word, because as an egotist, that is important to you.

        Did Mao go out of China’s borders to kill others?
        Did Stalin invade Britain or America and kill millions?
        What these leaders do n their own countries is theirs.
        What we object to is WHO GAVE THE US THE RIGHT TO INVADE, MURDER AT WILL, PLUNDER ALL, COLONISE, DEPOSE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS, DESTABLISE, DESTROY SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES, THAT ARE NO THREAT TO THE US, SINCE 1945?

  You sound like a 5 year old programmed with blind devotion to Israel who
  just got asked the one question you think you know the answer to.
  Israel has an interest in destabilizing the Middle East, and is is
  working hand in hand with the Saudis in Syria and elsewhere. Both back
  ISIL, both want to see secular regimes destroyed and replaced with shaky
  religious dictatorships. If you support Israel, what the hell are you doing talking about civilian casualties? Israel kills civilians almost exclusively, and they rely on welfare from “the west” to buy weaponry to help them steal others’ land.

    I have only just read your first sentence and need read no more from a Mass Murderer, an evil who cooperates, approves, and is complicit with his government in the slaughter of innocents.

        “QVC” is insane. From their own publications: “Israeli and American scientists have discovered a gene among Ashkenazi Jews that increases their chances of developing the mental disorder schizophrenia, as well schizoaffective disorder and manic depression. According to a study recently published in Nature Communications, the gene in question raises Ashkenazi Jews’ chances of experiencing the disorders by roughly 40%.” Of course since DNA genetics of psychopathy are under-funded, (I wonder why) psychopathy as yet has not been added to the
        list. All that inbreeding has its disadvantages, for them as well as the bloodline families.

        You are correct. A troll’s sole desire is to disrupt, divert, and if that fails, to
        be obnoxiously vulgar. They out their own selves, as their information is so obviously wrong.
      - WeAreYourGods
        
        Sure. Some just like to see how much of a reaction they can get and have absolutely no real opinion on the topic.
