Ansarullah denounces Saudi crown prince’s pledge to continue Yemen war

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has hit out at the Saudi crown prince and defense minister, who said the Riyadh regime has no intention of ending its bloody military campaign against the impoverished nation.

According to Press TV, Mohammed Abdelsalam, a senior spokesperson for the Ansarullah movement, said Thursday that Riyadh seeks to install another puppet regime in Yemen, which would do the biddings of Aal-e Saud and the United States.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who is known as the architect of the war on Yemen, told Reuters in a Thursday interview that the Riyadh is set to continue the military campaign, which is meant to crush the Ansarullah and bring back the former Riyadh-allied government to power.

The Ansarullah official further said Riyadh is merely seeking to regain the dominance it has lost in Yemen, adding that bin Salman’s belligerent comments are a “disgrace” for the international community, which has failed to take any action to end the aggression.

During the interview, bin Salman drew a parallel between Yemen’s Ansarullah and Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, and said the war against Yemen is about preventing the Ansarullah from turning into another Hezbollah.

When asked, “Any change of heart on policy in Yemen?” he replied, “If we want to create another Hezbollah in the Middle East, then let’s change our policy in Yemen.”

Abdelsalam further said the Saudi crown prince’s Hezbollah comparison shows the kingdom has chosen to side with the occupying Israeli regime.  

The Saudis are especially irked by Hezbollah’s key role in the fight against Takfiri terror groups in Syria, where they have long pursued a regime change. Those terrorists are inspired by Wahhabism, an extremist ideology exported by Saudi Arabia.
