Operation 'Decisive Storm' | Saudi lead coalition operations in Yemen - Updates & Discussions.

[Rakan.SA]

@Oscar Last week you asked me which terrorists I was talking about. Start with the terrorist on this page. Rakan is saying he's ready to blow himself up. Not sure why I have to bring this to your attention. Every one of these terrorists are leaving posts like this all around the forum on an hourly basis.

As I told you last week, at least 3 dozen people on this site are on all sorts of watch lists. Some website you guys have. Essentially an ISIS propaganda channel.

whenever you guys get slapped around in a thread you run to your friends to ban ppl how sensitive you are you poor thing! lol

AQAP issues bounties for saleh and houthi leaders. Ideologically Saudis seems indistinguishable from from their terrorist brethren.

Well, I prefer to speak directly with Persian members here. I obviously don't feel I should debate with Iraqis over Iranian affairs. Please keep some dignity and stop being somebody else's apologist.

Those are no Iranian affairs, i'm talking about the TV channel. This interests me since he spoke of suicide bombers, i'm sure you know that has more impact on Arabs than Iranians since they like to blow up among Arabs. You're using the excuse of me defending Iranians too often, this has nothing to do with them. Now I simply want to know your opinion about those TV channels and 'intellectuals' promoting terror, do you agree that they're a problem ?

 

[beast89]

It really does NOT matter what they have on their flag . What matters is that they don't behead people .

Meanwhile your contribution to modern world is consisted of :

1- September 11 attacks

See this too : Hijackers in the September 11 attacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2- Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

3- Al-Qaeda

So don't you talk about Anti-westernism and crazy shyte like that you hypocrite

he's going to milk that houthis flag for all its worth as the crux of his argument.

@BLACKEAGLE Not a single MP has spoken in favour of sending troops to Yemen.

Iran should be involved in Yemen debate, says PM - The Express Tribune

Now the PM wants Iran involved with Yemen situation. He's backing off. Any chances of Jordanian forces to join Saudi brothers against the houthis and allies who are taking of yemen?

 

[Rakan.SA]

We don't need to get into this fight. RSAF is fully capable of taking care of its objectives. Let's focus on TTP.

as i said before many times..

those voices who are against sending troops are the big threat to pakistan. if they are willing to lose all gulf allies then good luck with pakistans future.
of course we in the gulf wont let them kidnap pakistan just like that!
and for the sick mentality that says nawaz has a debt to pay to saudi. i suggest they go way back before nawaz and start checking the books. in that case ALLpakistan is in debt.
but we are not sick as those ppl.
we dont have debts with pakistan. pakistans security and intrests is the gulf security and intrests.
its not the same with iran-pak relations
we have muslim unity and thats bigger than anything. so money is never an issue.
the iranian lobbyist inside pakistan will bring pakistan down to its knees if others dont wake up and take actions.
they will bring it down economically and security wise.
if those lobbyist win.. then the west and iran have successfully isolated pakistan from the gulf and the muslim world.
pakitani ppl must not let such thing happen. and they shouldnt believe this sectarian war crap.
the media is fooling them. a lot of shia and zaidi arabs are with us from all arab nations also christians.

il share with you a tweet from a syrian girl who studies in pakistan.

#1: In the age of globalization, everything has become intermestic(fusion of international&domestic issues),no clear line can separate them.
#2: Saying that #Pakistan has to focus on its internal problems reflects failure2understand the peculiarities of the world order we live in.
#3: There are a lot of threats that #Pakistan has to deter "off-borders" &many opportunities that it must ceaze "off-shores".

he said according to your definition.. but whats wrong with your head ?! everyone is willing to die for his country!! no shame in that! lol
but i guess you dont know what that means cuz its clearly you ran away.

@Rakan.SA

We have deployed to SA a number of times before. Our forces are stretched at the moment in order to fight TTP and to deter India at the same time.

We can't tangle in another war, far from our geography when we are fighting at home. Pakistan's true friends would support our internal stability.

please do you really think that the coalition needs more weapons or something ?! no one asked for hole pakistan army to come. not even 10%
sending 1000 men 3 ships and 10 jets wont threat pakistan!
this participation is showing political back up and by sending a small number it showing seriousness and commitment to the world and to its gulf allies.

Pakistan's true friends would support our internal stability.

i think you know well that gulf countries are always there for pakistan. i personally know that saudi works hard with pakistan on those matters.
not everything is on the news.

We are going to contribite what stands above our own line of detterence. This is precisely whats being discussed right now.

I'm sure our leaders will make an informed decision based on current situation.

how low must you be to spread such lies in your official news ?!

 

[Hack-Hook]

Here I don't get one thing .
Why KSA need refueling for it's airplane when they are bombing Yemen ? certainly those F-15 can several time do their bombing run without any need for refueling !!!!!!!!!!
and UAE can put it's airplane in one of KSA bases , it make the operation a lot more efficient.

It is part of political diplomatic cover showing the world that KSA is not alone and US is standing by it. Besides, KSA can not continue doing what it is doing without technical assistance of US. Every thing they are using there against Yemen is actually manufactured by US or EU.

all the coalition jets are in saudi bases. the amount of refueling is large cuz there are a lot planes flying in any given moment. they spend hours in the skies of yemen. ready for any call. or securing borders and all types of missions.

Yemen rebels gain as Iran calls Saudi air campaign a ‘crime’ - The Washington Post

Smoke billows from a Saudi-led airstrike on Sanaa, Yemen, Wednesday, April 8, 2015. A state-run broadcaster in Iran is reporting that the Islamic Republic has sent a navy destroyer and another vessel to waters near Yemen amid a Saudi-led airstrike campaign. (Hani Mohammed/Associated Press)



SANAA, Yemen — Shiite rebels and allied military units in Yemen defied Saudi-led airstrikes to seize a provincial capital in a heavily Sunni tribal area on Thursday as their patron Iran called the two-week air campaign a “crime” and appealed for peace talks.

The rebel fighters, known as Houthis, along with military units loyal to former autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh, overran Ataq, capital of the oil-rich southeastern Shabwa province, after days of airstrikes and clashes with local Sunni tribes. The capture marked the rebels’ first significant gain since the Saudi-led bombing began.

The Saudi-led coalition has imposed an air and sea blockade on Yemen and targeted both rebels and military units loyal to Saleh, hoping to eventually allow Yemen’s internationally recognized President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to return to the country.

The coalition had hoped to keep the rebels out of the southern port city of Aden, which Hadi had declared his provisional capital after fleeing Sanaa earlier this year and before leaving the country last month. But there too the rebels and Saleh loyalists have advanced, sparking days of heavy clashes.

The conflict pits the Saudi-led Sunni Gulf countries against Shiite rival Iran. Tehran supports the Houthis and has provided humanitarian aid but both Iran and the rebels deny allegations that it has armed them. The growing regional involvement nevertheless risks transforming what until now has been a complex power struggle into a full-blown sectarian conflict like those raging in Syria and Iraq.


The chaos has also allowed al-Qaida’s powerful local affiliate to gain ground, and the Saudi-led bombing -- backed by U.S. arms shipments and intelligence sharing -- threatens to weaken the rebels and Saleh’s loyalists, who are al-Qaida’s most powerful opponents on the ground.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the air campaign, saying “this is a crime, genocide and legally pursuable” according to comments posted on his website. He went on to warn that “the Saudis will lose” and that “Yemenis will resist and will win.”

In a speech in Tehran on Thursday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urged a cease-fire in Yemen to allow for broad-based talks on resolving the crisis.

“To the countries in the region, I say, let’s adopt the spirit of brotherhood, let’s respect each other and other nations. A nation does not give in through bombing,” said Rouhani. “Do not kill innocent children. Let’s think about an end to the war, about cease-fire and humanitarian assistance to the suffering people of Yemen.”

He said the bombing campaign was “wrong,” comparing it to Syria and Iraq, where a U.S.-led coalition is targeting Islamic State militants.

“You will learn, not later but soon, that you are making a mistake in Yemen, too,” Rouhani said, without naming any particular country.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif meanwhile held talks Thursday in Islamabad with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in an effort to push for Yemen peace talks.


Zarif, who arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday, has said that Iran is ready to facilitate talks that would lead to a broad-based government in Yemen.

Pakistan’s parliament is debating whether to contribute forces to the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen. A government statement released after the meeting with Zarif said Pakistan would stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Saudi Arabia if its territory were violated but called on Muslim countries to “council restraint and promote a spirit of mutual accommodation.”

On Wednesday Iran dispatched a naval destroyer and another logistic vessel to waters near Yemen— a sign that some saw as posturing by the Shiite powerhouse in the crowded strategic strait where U.S. and Western warships are already located.

Iran’s English-language state broadcaster Press TV quoted Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari as saying the ships would be part of an anti-piracy campaign “safeguarding naval routes for vessels in the region.”

The United States meanwhile said it was speeding weapons delivery to the Saudi-led coalition, and that it had carried out its first aerial refueling mission, marking a deepening of foreign involvement in the conflict.

The rebels’ capture of Ataq came after days of clashes as well as negotiations with local tribes. When the Houthis and Saleh loyalists entered the city they encountered little resistance, raising questions about whether Yemen’s fractured tribes -- even in Sunni areas -- can serve as reliable allies.

The Houthis and their allies have seized 10 of Yemen’s 21 provinces but could encounter resistance in Shabwa from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which also maintains a heavy presence in the province.

Ataq residents said the rebels and allied soldiers installed checkpoints all around the city. Government offices, shops and schools were closed, and residents appeared reluctant to leave their homes.

“Ataq is like a military barracks. A tank here, an armored vehicle there and non-stop patrols,” said resident Saleh al-Awlaki. “I consider this an occupation by all means. And all occupation must be removed, also by all means.”

Military and tribal officials said some leading members in the tribes facilitated the rebels’ entry after days of fighting. One official said the Sunni tribesmen didn’t want to keep on fighting, even though they were assisted by coalition airstrikes. The official spoke anonymously because he feared reprisals. The military officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.

Mohamed Abkar, an Ataq resident, said locals looted unguarded weapons warehouses in the city on Wednesday, but that no shot was fired at the rebels as they entered the city.

Meanwhile, humanitarian groups say they are running out of medical supplies to deal with the constant flow of casualties, particularly in Aden, where the fighting is most intense.

The groups have called for a temporary halt to the fighting to allow aid into Yemen. The World Health Organization said Wednesday that at least 643 civilians and combatants have been killed since March 19. At least 2,226 have been wounded, and another 100,000 have fled their homes.
