Moroccan fighter jet goes missing in Yemen - The Hindu

The pilot of the second jet said he didn’t see pilot of the jet that went missing eject added the statement, which said that an investigation is under way.
Morocco’s armed forces say one of its F-16 fighter jets taking part in the Saudi-led Sunni coalition air strikes against the Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen has gone missing.

The statement carried by the state news agency MAP said early today that the plane has been missing since 6 PM the previous day.

The pilot of the second jet said he didn’t see pilot of the jet that went missing eject added the statement, which said that an investigation is under way.

Moroccan forces, together with those of the rest of the Gulf countries are taking part in air strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen that have taken over large sections of the country.

Morocco has six F-16 jets stationed in the United Arab Emirates.

During the time of prophet Muhammad, they also didn't kill civilians and get away with it. Prophet Muhammad did not preach his followers to kill everyone they saw as 'infidels' through terror. He would not bomb refugee camps, schools, residential buildings if he had access to modern warfare. Prophet Muhammad would not attack a country to install his own puppet, he would not ally himself with U.S to bomb Muslims, he would not warn 800,000 civilians to either leave their homes or be bombed as 'military targets'.

Oh I forgot, Islam is all about graves and how simple they should be, everything else is BS.

Yes, During the time of Prophet Muhammed Pbuh , civilians were protected and even the prisoners of war were treated with respect.

Whatever happening in Yemen is due to the civil war which is happening since the past 80 or 90 years and the same is happening in Afghanistan, Somalia etc and these wars are due to the cold war.

Havnt the Saudis helped Houthis ? Why have the Houthis have forget that ?

Islam is not all about graves but just i am saying that the Saudis practice what they say.

Saudi Arabia sends tanks as strike force to Yemen border: Saudi media| Reuters

Saudi Arabia is sending a "strike force" to its border with Yemen, Saudi-owned media reported on Monday, hours after the kingdom's forces and Houthi rebels in Yemen traded heavy artillery fire.

The Saudi-owned Al Arabiya Hadath TV channel broadcast pictures of a column of tanks loaded onto military trucks and described it as "the arrival of reinforcements from the strike force to the border".

Saudis just have 20 million population and God has bless them with wealth.

I don't know if you have ever been to Saudi Arabia, but the wealth is very concentrated. I recognise that there is a very large wealth divide in the west and in many other countries. However, the wealth divide in Saudi Arabia is truly enormous with Saudi royalty pocketing billions of dollars whilst most Saudis live in underdeveloped areas and under the poverty line.

The last time I visited there had been some improvements, but the reality is that the monarchy have no legitimacy to rule and continue to funnel the country's vast oil wealth into their own private bank accounts. You only have to look to countries like Norway to see how the oil wealth should be being used to benefit the whole country.

At least in Iran there is some semblance of democracy. It might not be a perfect democracy by everyone's definition, but it is far better than the political systems of many of the surrounding counties and even many western countries.

Poverty is there is every country and mostly in Saudi Arabia as much as i have read that poverty level is there in some neighbourhoods of Riyadh, Tabuk etc and according to World Bank report , Saudi Arabia is having the tenth lowest poverty rate worldwide.

KSA has lowest poverty rate in Arab world: WB report | Arab News
The Saudi government has spent billions of riyals annually to provide better education, health care and infrastructure facilities to decrease the growing number of poor people.

The government also provides allowances, monthly benefits and payments for food and utility bills to the poor, elderly, disabled, orphans and workers who are injured on the job.

Moreover, the government’s main focus is on reducing poverty, raising standards of living, increasing productivity of the economy, strengthening the science and technology base, fostering a solid research and development capacity, and enhancing the performance of the public sector.

Saudi Arabia is the world's largest oil exporter and spends more than 4 percent of its total GDP annually on donations and humanitarian aid that reaches people in more than 110 countries around the globe.


And regarding the Monarchy, its being backed by the native Arab tribes and clans in majority and here if you will show the Shia Arab population of Eastern Saudi Arabia then there Shia Arabs are around 32% out the whole population and they are basically rich because of the oil sector there. Norway Monarchy Population is about 5,136,700 and its even having good numbers of immigrants but those are too less compare to Saudi Arabia.

Suadi is 28 million populated and 8 - 12 million of the them are foreigners. 15 - 20 % of Suadis are Shia. 85% * 28 million = 23 million
60% of Suadi population are under 21 years old.
40% * 23 = 9 million
Half of those 9 million are women, so men are only 4.5 million.

+95% of oil resources in Suadia are located in Shiite territories, the Shiites that Suadi regime spend most of its oil money against them all over the world.

Can you share the World Bank report that is being sourced. Because claiming KSA has the lowest poverty rate among the Arab worlds makes no sense. Because part of the Arab world is Qatar which has the third highest per capita income in the world due to their very high oil reserves in comparison to their very small population.

The same is probably true for the other small GCC countries, so I don't see how KSA has the lowest poverty rate in the Arab world. Already, that news report seems suspect.

But then you look at
List of countries by percentage of population living in poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And you don't even see Saudi Arabia listed, because there aren't good data released by the government regarding poverty, so this makes the initial report even more suspect.

Then I looked at this UN report on poverty, again couldn't find any data on Saudi Arabia,
http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/rwss/docs/2010/chapter2.pdf

Its very possible that World Bank released such a report, but given that very few credible data is available on Saudi's poverty rate plus the fact that it seems very unlikely that KSA has less poverty than Qatar, we could come to the conclusion that your source has faults

One dead as Saudi city near Yemen border comes under fire
A school and a residential area in Najran under renewed bombardment

One person was killed and four wounded on Monday when a Saudi city near the Yemeni border came under renewed bombardment, the civil defence department said.

The latest fatality brings to 11 the death toll in Saudi Arabia since Al Houthi militiamen in Yemen began firing rockets and mortar rounds over the border last week.

Civil defence spokesman Ali Al Shahrani told Saudi news channel Al Ekhbariya that a school and a residential area in Najran came under fire at 7am.

He did not specify the source of the bombardment but said one person was killed. Three foreigners and a child were wounded.

The Saudi-led coalition, which has been bombing the Al Houthis in Yemen since March 26, said on Thursday that they had crossed a “red line” with their deadly cross-border fire.

The coalition has retaliated by declaring the whole of Saada province — an Al Houthi stronghold on the border — a military target and pounding it with air strikes and artillery fire.

Coalition spokesman Brigadier General Ahmad Al Assiri said on Sunday that the retaliatory raids would continue right up to the proposed 11pm Tuesday start-time for a five-day ceasefire, “if they continue to fire their rockets towards our cities, our population”.

Saudi Arabia made the ceasefire offer on Friday after more than six weeks of air strikes but said the rebels would also have to abide by it.
