On 6 April 2015, the country's national headlines reported that a total of 156 Malaysian citizens were brought out of Yemen two days ago following the turbulence in that country, who are expected to depart to return home beginning tomorrow. The Secretary of the National Security Council (NSC), Datuk Mohamed Thajudeen Abdul Wahab, stated that the Government has initiated efforts to bring back Malaysians who are in that agitating country.

News agencies also reported that this turbulence is becoming increasingly serious where Saudi Arabia has planned to destroy 96 desert villages at the border with Yemen to prevent it being used as a route by the people of Yemen to penetrate Saudi Arabia. The local newspaper, Al-Hayat also reported a total of 10 villages which had been destroyed since Saudi Arabia led the campaign attack on Shi'ah Houthi rebels since 26 March.

Quoting the words of the head of the border guards in the area, Hassan Aqili who stated that the acts of destroying those villages were in order to prevent the empty houses in those areas from becoming ‘hideouts for smugglers and intruders'.

Comment:

‘Add insult to injury'! However, this proverb is still not enough to portray the sufferings experienced by the Muslims in Yemen. While the blood of Muslims in Yemen is still wet and dripping due to the horrible agenda of the West, attacks by coalitions of Gulf States led by Saudi Arabia and sanctioned by America has aggravated the situation as well as arouse the anger of Muslims worldwide.

Saudi Arabia's boldness in handling this crisis certainly is beyond the limits of humanity. This reckless act of Saudi Arabia is definitely a betrayal towards the Muslim Ummah. This is because Yemen is an Islamic country with a majority of Muslim population and they are our brothers and sisters.  Why is Saudi Arabia so pursuant to the orders of the Kuffar in directing its military force to kill their own relatives, the Muslims?  Whereas the Jews whom since decades ago have clearly occupied Palestine and has seized that blessed land from the Muslims, have never been warned the slightest by the Saudi Arabians?

Indeed, Allah will certainly avenge any injustice committed by human hands. As the word of Allah (swt) in Surah al-A'raf verse 162;

((فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلاً غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاء بِمَا كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ))

"But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing." [QS al A'raaf: 162]

O people of Saudi Arabia! O people of Yemen! Put an end to this dispute. Do not allow the Kuffar to dominate you with the assaults that they have created between you. Be united, and do not be intimidated by the Kuffar because they have plans and Allah Almighty also has plans. Allah (swt) alone is the best in punishing their deceit. O Muslims, our brothers and sisters in Yemen need our help to remove and resolve these upheavals. Let us unite in upholding the laws of Allah Almighty under the shade of the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah established upon the method of Prophethood.
