SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
Pakistani nation has been inculcated time and again that Saudis are our all weather friend but the truth is all the way round. Pakistan people have been told that Saudis are our brothers (as if Yemenis are not) but the fact is If brotherhood is based on being Muslim, then all or no Muslim country should be our brother. How come we have agreed to kill one group of our brothers by taking money from the other? Second Pakistanis are being lied that Yemenis are attacking Saudi Arabia, the fact is that It is Saudi Arabia and its allies that are attacking Yemen without any provocation and not the other way round. Third, Muslims’ holy sites have been threatened but the truth is that There is no danger to any holy Muslim site. There is danger only to the ruling family of Saudi Arabia. Fourth, that is in Pakistan’s national interest to support Saudi Arabia while Pakistan’s national interest will be irreversibly compromised by becoming an ally of the Saudi-led coalition. The coalition is violating the UN Charter by engaging in an unprovoked and illegal act of aggression against a small country. Fith, Saudi Arabia is a great friend of Pakistan and its people but the fact is that Saudi Arabia has funded militant groups and has fought its proxy wars in Pakistan for many decades. Yemen has done no such thing. Sixth is Pakistan’s international prestige and status will go up because of its involvement in the Saudi sponsored war but infact Pakistan will only be looked down as an insane country that is willing to rent out its army when its own house is on fire.
