There is a perfect reason why United Nations officials and Western diplomats are fleeing Yemen. They are complicit in Saudi war crimes.
Thanks to their all-out support for the illegal invasion, calls for peace and diplomacy continue to fall on deaf ears as the medieval Saudi regime and its US-allied cohorts continue to unravel Yemen.

The United Nations or the so-called international community should hang their heads in shame. They have all largely pontificated over a non-existent Iran-Saudi proxy war at play in the impoverished nation. Reports from the ground highlight the deepening crisis for the country's 26 million residents, largely forgotten and caught in the cross-chairs of an unnecessary war.

We used to think that presidents are elected for one purpose only: To serve their nation. In Yemen it's the other way around. They are "chosen" to serve their foreign masters and launch war against their own people. Former president Abd-Rabbo Mansour Hadi - elected in a single-candidate system with "no" votes allowed - is such a politician. The Saudi puppet is the one that called for this nascent war after he resigned and fled the country!

The fugitive politician once again called for extending the bombing campaign after appearing before Arab leaders at the League of Arab States Summit in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt. Also appearing at the summit was UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon who acknowledged, "The military action has been undertaken at the request of Yemen's sovereign and legitimate leader."

He never bothered to condemn the aggressors - let alone call for an emergency Security Council meeting to stop the war under Chapter VII. He foolishly hoped that the US-allied criminals would resolve the crisis peacefully!

It's no wonder the US-backed invasion continues without sanction by the UN Security Council. The aggression continues the international lawlessness that the US precipitated with its bogus war on terror. There are numerous similarities with Israeli wars too: No UN mandate, no legality, no justification, no Security Council resolution, no international condemnation, and of course no accountability for war crimes at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Just like Washington and Tel Aviv, the Saudi regime and its cohorts, which gave us al-Qaeda and ISIL, continue to trump international law and any concerns about the lives of the people of Yemen. Just like in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain, the terror-mongers are determined to unravel a sovereign nation all because the people of Yemen refuse to cow back into submission or remain content with second-class status.

Quite the opposite, the people of Yemen have said yes to the resistance movement of Ansarullah, whose strength comes from the streets and from serving the people - not from the White House and Riyadh. Unlike the former regime, the resistance movement has unwavering loyalties among the people, military officers and senior politicians. It's all the reason why the Saudi-led aggression, despite having a US imprimatur, is doomed to failure.
