“Over the past few days, Yemeni armed forces have discovered large quantities of US-built munitions at the positions of Saudi mercenaries [loyal to the ex-Yemeni government] while conducting clean-up operations in the provinces of Ma’rib and al-Bayda,” Brigadier General Yahya Saree said at a press conference broadcast live from the capital Sana’a on Tuesday afternoon.
“The weapons had the logo of the so-called United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on,” said the Yemeni military official, adding that USAID supports and funds organizations in Yemen to collect classified information under the guise of humanitarian activities.
Saree held Washington fully responsible for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, stating that US authorities arm Saudi Arabia and its allies, set goals for them and politically support them in their offensive.
The senior Yemeni military official called on the country’s Supreme Council for the Administration and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation to expose USAID’s affiliation to the US State Department, and the fact that the agency has been actively collaborating with the Saudi-led coalition in the massacre of Yemenis under the pretext of humanitarian aid.
