Bahraini protesters slam Saudi invasion of Yemen

Bahraini protesters have staged rallies across the country to denounce the Saudi invasion of Yemen.

People in various parts of the country, including Samahij, Bilad al-Qadeem, Karranah, Sitra and Bani Jamrah, took to the streets on Friday to protest against the deadly Saudi airstrikes on Yemen.

Saudi Arabia’s air campaign in Yemen started on March 26 in a bid to restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos said in a statement at least 519 people, including women and children, have so far lost their lives in two weeks of violence in Yemen, as Saudi Arabia’s airstrikes continue unabated.
