Saudi Regime follows the Inhuman Example of the Jewish State in Oppressing Yemen

In the Saudi regime’s war on Yemen, it is not embarrassed to copy from the Jewish State’s cruelty against the Gaza strip. According to Reuters:

The Saudi-led military coalition fighting against Yemen’s Houthi movement reopened a land border crossing, partly easing a blockade imposed earlier this week, but aid agencies warned of famine and a health catastrophe if other ports stay shut.

The coalition said on Monday it would close all air, land and sea ports in Yemen to stem the flow of arms to the Houthis from Iran, after Saudi Arabia intercepted a missile fired toward its capital Riyadh.

The al Wadea border crossing, linking Saudi Arabia with territory in eastern Yemen controlled by the Saudi-backed government, was reopened on Thursday, a Yemeni official and witnesses said, letting food and other supplies across.

The United Nations has said that a total blockade of Yemen could cause a famine that could kill millions. The government-held southern port of Aden was reopened on Wednesday, but ports in Houthi-held areas are still shut.

The Saudi and Jewish regimes are both following the Western ideas of ‘total war’ which requires not only engaging in battle against fighters but also oppressing the entire population that stands behind them. What is worse, however, in the case of the Saudi regime, is that they are unleashing such terror against a Muslim population that is historically understood to be the original Arab people of the peninsula, and who entered Islam in the time of the Prophet ﷺ himself.

Behind both the Saudis and the Jews is America, which is increasingly resorting to war in Muslim lands as it senses that the Muslim Ummah is escaping its control. The recent ‘purge’ within the Saudi royal family is only America’s attempt to impose its will more firmly over this regime also. It is our traitorous rulers and agent political class that continue to provide the foreign disbeliever with a foothold in our lands. The time is soon when these will all be overthrown, their ill-gotten wealth stripped from them, and the influence of their masters ejected from our lands.

 

Britain Remains Paralysed by Brexit

Former British ambassador John Kerr, who drafted Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty relating to exit from the EU, is advocating the possibility of reversing Brexit. According to Reuters:

“While the divorce talks proceed, the parties are still married. Reconciliation is still possible,” John Kerr, British ambassador to the EU from 1990 to 1995, said in a speech in London.

“We can change our minds at any stage during the process,” said Kerr, who added that the legalities of Article 50 had been misrepresented in Britain. “The British people have the right to know this: they shouldn’t be misled.”

The day May triggered Article 50, she told the British parliament that there was “no turning back” and on Friday insisted that the United Kingdom would be leaving the EU at 2300 GMT on March 29 2019.

In a June 2016 referendum, 51.9 percent of voters backed leaving the EU while 48.1 percent wanted to remain.

Brexit supporters argue any attempt to halt the exit process would be anti-democratic, while opponents say the country should have a right to pass final judgment on any exit deal negotiated.

May, an initial opponent of Brexit who won the top job in the political turmoil that followed the vote, said last month that Britain would not revoke Article 50.

The British establishment has been playing a difficult double game with the EU for decades, wishing to remain part of the EU only to disrupt it from within, which required maintaining both a pro-EU and anti-EU lobby within the British political class. The referendum was supposed to return a positive result for remaining within the EU but the establishment misjudged badly, lost the vote, and has been in confused disarray ever since. Prime Minister Theresa May has been directed to present a harsh anti-EU posture in order that the ‘Remainers’ can now be presented as opponents of the establishment, in the hope that this would help to reverse Brexit. Western governments are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain control over their domestic public opinion and align it with the policies of their establishments. The weakness of Western governments should give confidence to Muslims in the feasibility of taking charge of their own affairs; it is only our agent rulers and servile political class that are unable to comprehend this undeniable fact.

 

Covert American Attempt to proceed with TTP undermined by Canada

According to The Australian:

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would have to be the one to answer why he pulled out of a meeting to ratify the TPP11.

“As to his reason for doing that and the timing and manner and so forth that’s really some you have to ask Justin,” he said.

Mr Turnbull said his bilateral meeting with Mr Trudeau on Friday afternoon after the diplomatic incident was “frank”.

“We had a very good and frank discussion. I always stand up for Australia’s interests.”

Delegates to the trade summit accused the Canadians last night of “screwing everybody” with a raft of 11th-hour demands and failing to show up to the meeting, infuriating other world leaders hopeful of a TPP resolution.

Trade ministers of 11 Asia-Pacific nations returned to the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiating table today and agreed to “core elements” of a deal.

The move offers new hope for the so-called TPP11 without the United States.

The ministers said on Saturday they had established some “core elements” of an agreement late on Friday, but said they still need to resolve some issues.

There is no timeline in the statement, however, sources said.

Australian officials were talking down the latest statement, saying there was “still work to do”.

Former US President Barack Obama had previously worked tirelessly to achieve the TTP agreement but was unable to convince domestic American public opinion about its benefits. Consequently, both American presidential candidates in 2016 had no choice but to campaign against the deal and President Donald Trump is forced to continue with that rhetoric even until now, talking about his ‘America first’ policy even in Asia. However, the TTP clearly remains in America’s interests, as it seeks to create a regional block in the Pacific region in opposition to China. So it appears that Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull is working on this same American plan, which can serve its key purpose of isolating China even if America does not join at this time. But the Western camp remains severely divided and Canada has severely disrupted this momentum by PM Justin Trudeau’s no show.

The truth is that the foreign disbelievers only have hatred for each other and their power in the world today is simply because of the negligence of Muslims. As soon as the Muslim Ummah succeeds in re-establishing its state, the righteous Islamic Khilafah State (Caliphate) on the method of the Prophet ﷺ, then the foreign disbelievers will prove no match for Muslims.
