BEIRUT, LIBANON (12:40) – Das Saudi-Regime setzte am Dienstag, die bereits drei Wochen lang dauernde,  Belagerung der Stadt Al-Awamiya durch mehrere Angriffe auf Wohngebiete fort. Die Stadt befindet sich im Osten Saudi-Arabiens und wird vorwiegend von Schiiten bewohnt.

Durch den Angriff der saudischen Luftwaffe gerieten mehrere Häuser in Brand.

 

Da die gesamte Stadt blockiert wird konnte keine Feuerwehr die Stadt betreten; deshalb mussten Zivilisten, ohne geeignete Ausrüstung, die Flammen bekämpfen.

Trotz Aufrufen seitens der Vereinten Nationen (U.N.) die Gewalt zu beenden, hat es das Saudi-Regime bis jetzt abgelehnt die Belagerung der Stadt abzubrechen. Die Regierung in Riad begründet dies mit der „Terrorgefahr“ die von der Stadt ausgehe.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
