The Dhaka Times Desk Tawakkul Karman, the Nobel Peace Prize winning Yemeni human rights activist, commented on Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman as a 'criminal'. He also blamed the Saudi crown prince for Yemen's ongoing civil war and accused him of destroying Yemen.
Congress also passed a resolution on Thursday to end US support for the Saudi-led coalition's ongoing bloody war in Yemen. However, the White House has indicated that US President Donald Trump may veto the resolution passed by the House of Representatives.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, a Qatar-based media outlet, the government of internationally recognized President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadir is close to the military alliance of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates. Hadi has been fighting Houthi rebels since 2015.
According to estimates by charities, more than 60,000 civilians have been killed in the Yemen war so far. Save the Children, an international charity that works with children, says that about 85,000 children in the country have died due to famine caused by the war.
Tawakkul Karman, a Yemeni human rights activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize, said that the US president has the power to end the war in Yemen.
Addressing Trump, he said, 'I am calling on him to stop the war in Yemen. But he won't. He is more busy making a nuclear deal with North Korea than that.'
The war in Yemen is believed to be led by Saudi Arabia's de facto leader, Prince Mohammed bin Salman. When Al Jazeera asked Tawakkul Karman, does he have anything to say to Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman? Karman then replied that he believed Salman to be a 'criminal'.
Tawakkul Karman also said that, 'I don't want to hear anything from Prince Salman, because he is destroying my country. Mohammed bin Salman and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed should be tried at the International Criminal Court. Because what they are doing in my country is a war crime.'
