Yemen’s peace laureate harshly criticizes Saudi Arabia, UAE

SANAA, Feb. 3 (YPA) – The Nobel Peace Laureate Tawakkol Karman, who is a leading member in the Yemeni Islah Party (Muslim Brotherhood), has launched a harsh criticism on the Saudi and Emirati regimes via her social networking site on Twitter.

 This came after the recent clashes took place last week in the southern port city of Aden between the UAE-backed southern separatist movement and the Saudi-backed presidential protection forces loyal to the resigned president Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi.

 Karman accused the two allies (the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia) in the war on Yemen of collusion with head of the separatist southern transitional council, Aidros al-Zabidi, to topple Hadi’s government and expel it from Aden.

 The two countries continued to commit more heinous and horrific crimes against the Yemeni people for nearly three years, she said.

 The Yemeni Islah party has been caught in a trap due to the collapse of its strongholds in southern Yemen after losing them in the north.
