The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said on Tuesday it will halt military operations in Yemen starting Wednesday: to help create a positive atmosphere during the holy month of Ramadan in order for negotiations between Yemeni parties to succeed, the Saudi state news agency (SPA) reported
:meow-fiesta: :inshallah-script:
Don’t know why, but good news
Is this the negotiations in Riyadh that don’t even include Houthi leadership? It’s a summit between Saudi puppets and Saudis lol.
I wouldn’t put too much stock into it until the Houthis announce it as well
Being the administrator of Mecca and committing genocide during the rest of the year? Just fine. :big-cool:
So I don't know a lot about Islam to begin with but isn't it kinda fucked that a private government has control over this holy pilgrimage, especially one totally propped up by burgerland
Like it's really not my place whatsoever but on paper that seems incredibly fucked
On one hand, they are widely hated throughout the muslim world for being american lapdogs. On the other, there is a five guys in mecca right across from the Kabaah, so who is to say whether they are bad or not.
Nah they've managed the whole pilgrimage really well. Nobody has complaints with regards to that atleast, influence of burgerland notwithstanding.
Dunno, but cessation of hostilities during Ramadan has been a thing since Prophet Muhammad.
"Word on the street" (twitter) tells me that the Saudis will most likely continue attacking unabated, and will just use this as an opportunity to falsely claim that the Houthis broke the ceasefire, etc.
