An American researcher, Karen Anna, tweeted about what she called a scandal of the Saudi Royal Forces.
“Statistics show that 4,800 requests to end services provided by Saudi soldiers and officers in its southern borders,” Karen Anna wrote on her Twitter page.
Karen described these numbers as a catastrophe, and that they reflect the awareness that is beginning to appear in the officers and individuals ranks. They have understood the meaning of being victims of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
She pointed to the inequality between the Saudi army fighters and Yemeni Army and Popular Committees, in a sign that the Yemeni Army carry a great cause, determination and moral combat, despite the difference in armament.
“There is no parity between them and the ability of the Saudi army to achieve any victory,” Karen said.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing back to power the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the past nearly five years.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have purchased billions of dollars' worth of weapons from the United States, France and the United Kingdom in the war on Yemen.
The Saudi-led coalition has been widely criticized for the high civilian death toll from its bombing campaign. The alliance has carried out nearly 20,500 air raids in Yemen, according to the data collected by the Yemen Data Project.
The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.
