Call for Yemeni Influencers to Speak Out About Civilian Bombings

My message to celebrities in Yemen and activists and influencers who have hundreds of thousands of followers.

You know there has been Saudi aggression against Yemen for twelve years now.

And you know, and see with your own eyes, the Saudi enemy's crimes.

You live in Yemen, not in the Himalayas.

You see what the Saudi enemy does to homes, schools, roads, children, and women.

Don't you dare say, "I don't get involved in politics."

Who told you bombing homes is politics? Who's fooling you and telling you that children torn to pieces under the rubble are a political issue?

You know the truth, and you know there is Saudi aggression targeting civilians, markets, children, and women.

But you won't speak up, for fear they'll delete your Facebook page.

For fear they'll delete your page. You're afraid for your page.

You've betrayed your religion, your homeland, your country, your people, your followers, and your audience.

And you're afraid they'll delete your page.

They didn't delete your page, but they deleted your conscience.

They deleted your humanity. You who claim to be compassionate And you film humanitarian clips for likes And for likes.

But if you have any compassion or humanity, you would speak about children whose blood the Saudi enemy has shed.

They shed the blood of your sisters, your family, your honor, your children, your brothers, and your fathers.

Where is the humanity in you who film clips and post them as if you were kings of humanity, making tears fall while you film videos, crying and moved.

You didn't speak about the children beneath the rubble or the women being torn apart by Saudi bombardment.

Then you come and try to convince us you're compassionate.

That you have humanity. If the price of speaking the truth—and it is the truth— is having your page deleted, then what is the price of your silence about injustice and the blood of children and the blood of women shed by the Saudi enemy?

Speak up, influencers, activists, media figures, and celebrities about the Saudi enemy's crimes against civilians.

If Saudi Arabia bombed fighters on the front lines, at the border, or in military camps, I would excuse you.

I'd say, this is a war against… The Saudi enemy has no right to bomb civilians or fighters, but I can excuse you.

Speak up only when the Saudi enemy targets a market.

It targets homes, children, and women, leaving them crushed beneath the rubble.

Speak up. This isn't politics or a political issue.

Saudi Arabia has abandoned the fronts where the fighters are, in Lahij and Taiz, at the border, and on the other fronts.

And you've come to bomb civilians, women, children, markets, and bridges.

You'll see the Saudi enemy's crimes with your own eyes.

Why are you silent? Stand with your homeland.

Stand with your country. With your people.

No one will help you. Neither Facebook nor Twitter nor YouTube will help you.

Nothing will help you but standing with God, with the truth, and with the oppressed men, women, and children, of this oppressed Yemeni people.

Even the West and some foreigners have stood with the suffering of the Yemeni people.

And you, a Yemeni, are neutral. It's none of my business.

The neutral ones are on their side. How can you be neutral about children's blood?

How can you be neutral while watching Saudi missiles hit homes and houses?

How can you be neutral? Saudi media figures have gone back to supporting one another over the Yemeni people's plight.

And you're Yemeni, claiming to be humane and compassionate, and to stand with the oppressed and the needy.

No.
