Sistani Statement: Brutal Massacres in Yemen
YT: Both religious Hawzas at Qom and Najaf, issued a statement on what they called ‘the oppression of Shia’a in Yemen’, claiming they are ‘brutal massacres’ by the Government [and hinted at what they claimed is a ‘sort of genocide of the Shia’a’].
The Hawzas’ statement had claimed, “that it is becoming clear that there exists a ‘pact of evil’ that extends from Iraq to Yemen, between abhorrent sectoral fanatic forces and several centers of power of the ‘ruling regime which share the same doctrine of the extinct regime in Iraq’”. “ What happened in Yemen during the recent months,” it continued, “such as official resolutions, the economic blockade several areas, and the continuous acts of killings, arrests, oppression and chasing, reveal only a part of the concealed picture of reality in Yemen”.
The Hawzas’ statement warned that, “drastic effects shall result from such ‘approaches against Muslims’ whether in Yemen or Iraq” and that, “sooner or later, the tide will turn back against the executors of these policies and their supporters”. It concluded by calling upon officials to refrain from these ‘deviant actions’, otherwise”, it argued “the magic will turn against the magician”.
When I first read “that it is becoming clear that there exists a ‘pact of evil’ that extends from Iraq to Yemen,” I thought they were talking only about al-Qaeda but I think they mean the Saddam generals too. I think thats the pact.
