Saudi Stocks Are Plunging Following Rejection Of Russian Embargo Proposal; Death Toll Mounts
Earlier this morning, RT reports that Saudi Arabia rejected Russia’s amendments to a Security Council draft resolution which would see an all-inclusive arms embargo on all parties in the Yemeni conflict. Saudi stocks did not like the news and began to tumble - now down over 3%, back at January lows as the fighting continues to spiral out of control with civilian death toll climbing. At least 185 people were left dead and more than 1,200 wounded as a result of fighting in Aden, a medical official told AFP Saturday, three-quarters of them civilians. In the meantime, Reuters reports The Houthis are gaining ground in Aden, despite the onslaught of airstrikes.
Saudi stocks not happy... down 13% from mid-March highs...
“We urgently need an immediate halt to the fighting, to allow families in the worst affected areas, such as Aden, to venture out to get food and water, or to seek medical care,” said Robert Mardini, head of the ICRC's operations in the Near and Middle East. But as RT reports, for now that remains a distance away...
“There is little point in putting an embargo on the whole country. It doesn’t make sense to punish everybody else for the behavior of one party that has been the aggressor in this situation,”Saudi Arabia’s representative to the UN Abdallah Al-Mouallimi said after a closed emergency UN Security Council meeting on Saturday.
Al-Mouallimi added that he “hopes” Russia won’t resort to its veto power in case the all-inclusive embargo clause is not added into the draft submitted by the Gulf Cooperation Council that urges an arms embargo only on the Houthis.
At the same time, Riyadh agreed with Moscow’s calls for need of “humanitarian pauses” in the Saudi-led coalition’s air campaign in Yemen – though saying that Saudi Arabia already cooperates fully in this regard.
“We always provided the necessary facilities for humanitarian assistance to be delivered,” Al-Mouallimi told reporter heading out of the meeting. “We have cooperated fully with all requests for evacuation.”
...
The 15-member council is considering the possibly of merging the Russian and Gulf Cooperation Council proposed drafts into one.
The Security Council meeting coincided with the call from the International Committee of the Red Cross for a “humanitarian pause.” The NGO urged to break hostilities for at least 24 hours.

Meanwhile intensive airstrikes early Saturday morning targeted Houthi positions near Aden and in the Houthi stronghold of Saada in the north of the country.

Yemen's Houthi militiamen, supported by army units, gained ground in the southern city of Aden on Sunday, pushing back loyalists of the Saudi-backed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Residents took refuge in their homes and reported hearing sporadic gunfire and blasts of rocket-propelled grenades, and one witness saw a Houthi tank in the downtown Mualla district, which sits astride Aden's main commercial port.
Houthi forces have inched forward in street-fighting in the city despite an 11-day nationwide bombing campaign by a Saudi-led coalition aimed at halting the Iran-allied group and protecting Hadi's last bastion of support in the country.
Saudi planes parachuted weapons to Hadi's armed supporters there on Friday, helping them temporarily beat back Houthi advances.
The crates of light weapons, telecommunications equipment and rocket-propelled grenades were parachuted into Aden's Tawahi district, on the far end of the Aden peninsula which is still held by Hadi loyalists, fighters told Reuters.
Saudi Arabia has said defending Aden's government is a "main objective" of its mission and Hadi's administration has called for a foreign ground intervention into the beleaguered city.
Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi ambassador to the United States, said sending ground troops remained "on the table" and the operation's spokesman Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri declined to comment on media reports of Saudi special forces there.

Gorbachov asked Reagan to do the exact same thing in eastern europe, and Reagan said, No no no.
I wonder if the USSA will be forced to pull their special forces advisors (/sarc) from the Ukrainistan and send them to 'advise' in Yemen.?
three-quarters of them civilians
The mfing psycopaths who migrate to positions of wealth and power do not care how many mundanes get killed. Isn't this obvious by now? At some point it becomes "kill or be killed".
Iraq, Syria, Ukraine & Yemen are the first four proxie wars initiated by the USSA/Israel.
Where will No # 5 be?... in Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, South America or......
That's a rally killer. Was up 0.65% earlier.
Aw, I got a better one. There, just fixed the bad luck for ya

I wonder what would happen if North Korea tried this with its neighbors. But they don't have a "Royal Family". They just have a crumby dictator and that's TOTALLY different.
don't place Israel into the mix
One reason NOT to kill civillians, When people lose everything they have nothing to lose. (G Celente)
Expect bombs in Riydh and red sheets.
America invaded Ukraine.
Wait until they start sending the kids to Kenya.
Maximum conflicts = maximum value
This sounds Bad.
Gosh darnit, not another Saudi American troop deployment.
If the USA instead of the Saudis was handling the air drops of ordnance, the weapons would have "accidentally" fallen into the hands of ISIS forces in Damascus, 1,500 miles off target.
If the USA vetoes Russia's proposal, which makes humanitarian sense, we will truly know which one is the true 'Evil Empire'
Me thinks .... you already made up your mind !
In terms of world evil USSA only ranks #2.
Any guesses as to who the 'winner' is? It's not Russia or China, in fact it's population is about 8 million with about 7 million spies and saboteurs abroad.
Any guesses?
Meine Juden ?
Ja, ihre.
was it the guys dancing next to the van in Jersey City at approximately 11:30 am on 09-11-01?
They would certainly fit under the 'spies and saboteurs' section.
Join hands .... hava neguila .... hava neguila ! LOL
Another anti-Semite exposed.
Exposed? There's nothing to expose. I've been quite open about the evils of the world's most nefarious, insidious, malicious, and vengeful tribe.
I have openly denounced the Israeli regime for the past 5 years (though I began to 'wake up' approximately 7 years ago, it was a learning curve not much different than what others go through) and encourage others to keep an open mind, and teaching others how to be aware of government/media propaganda.
Your attempt to discredit me has failed. Of course when you don't actually have an argument to make character assaination becomes the only tactic your side is able to field.
The Joos are God's spark plug .... you, Sir .... are a rusty muffler !
I wouldn't dwell on it to long, you might get lost.
"anti semite" = "pro realist"
But being a realist doesn't just make you an anti-semite it makes you a terrorist, being that the so called "semites" (actually Khazars, not semites) run the financial/security state.
Id much rather have the Gentile Glow Plugs you POS

"Goyim (gentiles, non-Jews) were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel," he said, according to the Jerusalem Post. "Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created." An "effendi" is a lord, or a master, in Arabic.
Hundreds of thousands of his supporters took the streets of Jerusalem to mourn. Former Israeli President Shimon Peres visited with Mr. Yosef at his hospital bedside just hours before he passed, tenderly kissing his hand and forehead, according to The Jerusalem Post. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement issued by his office, spoke of his "profound grief" and said that "the Jewish People have lost one of the wisest men of his generation."
No need to mention just one Jew how bout a two million of the schmucks that revered this POS.
Funny how J-mafia controlled media calls them spark plugs in its propaganda, I would much rather like to call them a bunch of street performers from ancient Roman times, and pretty shitty ones at that.
Sorry, Bob, but you simply have no idea what a semite is.
Go back to playing with the turds in pendragon's cat box.
Oh! Oh! I know what that is! It's one of those wiggle tail thingy's that penetrates an egg cell and makes it divide. Eventually it turns into a misbehaving child of satan. I had done learnt that from a Miley Cyrus video.
Naw silly, SEMITE, a normally stable compound that explodes into violent torrents of incomprehensible whining on mention of Israel or Mossad.
go check your head
if it quacks like a retard...(they always come out from their holes, they don't even care about the subject...)
'Anti-semite' is to the Jew what 'rayciss' is to the Black person... Funny, the 'SPLC' comes to mind there, but I digress... Slinging around the 'anti-semitism' Canard at the first sign of distress (someone pointing out very uncomfortable truths), has lost much of its 'impact' over the decades. The term is overused, misunderstood, and like an once-effective anitbiotic, has become near useless due to its unwise prescription for anything that poses a threat...
"Any guesses as to who the 'winner' is?"
Does it start with "I" and end with "srael"?

You are right, I have.
Any nation or group which uses any means to murder innocents (collateral damage) in the name of 'Democracy', 'Fighting Terrorism', 'War on Drugs', killing 'suspected' anythings is not a nation or group I wish to associate with.
Scientists tell us we are a product of 'evolution' , yet mankind's nature has not changed and today it is a lot easier to deal with the guilt of slaughtering children when you are not there to witness the pain and suffering of those who lost loved ones or those who are injured or homeless.
Push those buttons, control that joystick and eventually it will come home to roost.
We never know the truth and those who dare tell it are painted as 'whistle blowers', put behind bars or murdered.
I think we were put on this planet to achieve a higher level than what we allowed ourselves to fall to.
Those who have experienced 'war' on a personal level know it to be the hell it truly is and most do not want to experience it again or even remember what they felt, saw and heard...
All these proponents of bomb dropping are cowards in wolf's clothing pretending to be righteous when they are basically psychopaths without soul. They do not mourn.
Invent a system based on theft and lies, then .... call it Socialism .... voila, a better world awaits you ! SARCophagus
Invent a system based on theft and lies, then .... call it 'americanism' .... voila, the best thing to ever happen to humanity. !
The first Three Stooges were Joos .... celebrating life .... in the Tribe's best tradition .... where did you come from ?
Actually, the first four were. But hey, 'americans' never let facts impede their propaganda.
From a former superpower in North America (between Canadia and Mexico) that is in steep decline.
? ! ....
Are you talking to the green guy humping the green guy?
Yeah, I wonder how many "collateral damages" one needs to rack up before they "notice what they've done".
Some ex-drone pilots say the appropriate number is around 1,683 or so, but who's counting when it's only pixels on a monitor and the reset button is right in front of you...oh, wait...
Me thinks Obama and Valery Jarett made it up for all to see. The lies and contempt for Americans are sickening.

They forgot a couple:
London-Washington-TelAviv-Riyadh Global Terror Axis. However I don't disagree with their premise. It's a starting point I guess.
Saudi Arabia has been a cruel, corrupt, criminal cabal that has been spreading death and destruction for decades. No Western media has criticized Saudi Arabia for illegally and unilaterally bombing Yemen. Why is the Nobel Prize Winner silent on this crime - no doubt, he is complicit in it:
Yemen: Saudi Arabia’s Bombing Campaign, Mounting Civilian CasualtiesBetween 29 and 45 people were reported killed by an apparent air attack at the al Mazraq camp – some were said to have been burned beyond recognition. Depressingly, the victims also included children.
Saudi Arabia, convinced that the Houthis are backed by Iran, is leading an air campaign with a coalition of 10 Gulf neighbours and North African allies. Warships thought to belong to Egypt have reportedly shelled Yemen from the sea. US officials have pledged that drone strikes will continue. And al Qaeda is taking advantage of the chaos, springing hundreds of criminals from a prison in the east of the country.

Did US CENTCOM Feed Saudis Target Info to Bomb Russian Consulate in Yemen?Washington war planners are up to their old tricks again, this time in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia’s gallant airstrikes against mostly civilian and infrastructure targets (not rebels, as advertised) have also struck the Russian Consulate General in the southwestern Yemeni city of Aden.
When Saudi Arabia launched its war against Yemen on the week of March 23th, the US proudly announced that their hands were clean because they were only providing ‘satellite’ information, military intelligence which included targeting information to the Saudi air force. It’s fairly obvious then, that the target information for the Russian embassy was fed to the Saudis by the US CENTCOM.

Wow .... a Chinese embassy in Joogoslavia .... now, a Russian consulate .... me happy !
Your fapping is bizarre, to say the least.

Hey, Poooootin .... SA considers the Arabian Peninsula .... it's Ukraine/Crimea .... suck on those camel's nuts !
Is that the same way Israel considers the world? If it can exist all by itself without any foreign aid or the diaspora of parasites infesting other countries than maybe we can call viable and not a parasite
Bomb Saudi Arabia already, the real terrorists.
israeli airstriking in yemen tio .

No joke. The US will start training the neo-nazis in Ukraine on Hitler's birthday! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP...
http://www.stripes.com/news/europe/us-forces-to-hold-exercises-in-ukrain...
The United States plans to send soldiers to Ukraine in April for training exercises with units of the country's national guard.
Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a Facebook post on Sunday that the units to be trained include the Azov Battalion, a volunteer force that has attracted criticism for its far-right sentiments including brandishing an emblem widely used in Nazi Germany.
Avakov said the training will begin April 20 at a base in western Ukraine near the Polish border and would involve about 290 American paratroopers and some 900 Ukrainian guardsmen.
LOL!!!
Down with the Haus of Saud!
Haven't you brain stem dead Socialists figured it out .... Egypt, Jordan, Syria (Asad), Lebanon, SA have .... Israel is a good neighbor to have ! Have a nice day .... visiting Lenin's crystal sarcophagus .... LOL !
I would hate to have Israeli as a neighbor, what with all the indiscriminate shelling and bombing and whatnot, not to mention their use of white phosphorous and depleted uranium on civilians and agricultural land.
Agree .... it's much better to live inside Kikeland .... ask the Muslims who live there !
Jesus returns and see's the enemys of freedom and peace.
Leaves and takes Israel, UN, US Military Govt. so we all can live in peace.
No worries the UN will meet and pass a resolution... that always works! After that hard work is done they all meet for cocktails and tell each other how smart they are.
In the event that is not enough to "fix" the problem then they can send in the blue helmets, that strikes fear into the hearts everyone involed!
Of course the ulimate solution to the propblem would be to send the greatest talker of all time, the man who loves to hear himself speak....Lurch Kerry! Soon to be a No-Balls Peace Prize recipient!
FUBAR!
The silence from the United States is stunning. Not a peep. The US has pulled all of its SpecOps guys into the neighboring countries for R&R until they have to go back in. That will only occur after the Saudis have leveled most of Sanna and Aden...and both countries were literal shit holes before. No, the country will be really be broken - this place is going to turn into another Libya. I just don't see how this is going to end well for anyone.
A pity as Yemen could have once gone the route of Oman and had a nice tourist area. There is a really beautiful island off the coast that could give Galapagos a run for the money: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socotra
Cops don't work on sundays, more less on Easter
Yeah, an absolute monarchy, run by a tribal family orignially from Yemen, whats not to love if you happen to be part of that family...lol.
Russia needs to be brought to heel by any means available.
Preferably it would be without violence, but it has to be done.
The sooner the Bear is neutered - as it was a quarter century ago - the safer the entire world will be.
We just need a president up to the task.
Agree .... their raging inferiority complex .... is loud and boorish and dangerous .... except for their Nukes and Natural Resources .... they are a banana republic !
so is murica. fanboys .
Were you talking about Israel?
You mean Israel, of course ?

I guess, in the interest of free speech, I won't object to Insane McCains posting on ZeroHedge.
The silence from the United States is stunning
No doubt because the US is fully involved in this illegal war:
US INCREASES INVOLVEMENT IN SAUDI WAR AGAINST YEMENApril 4, 2015
In a move that Pentagon officials are describing as just a “deepening” of their military involvement in the Saudi attack on Yemen, they have announced military aircraft from Centcomwill begin aerial refueling operations for Saudi planes currently bombing the nation.
The announcement couldn’t be worse timed, coming after a three day span during which Saudi planes killed scores of civilians in a pair of attacks on a dairy and a refugee camp in northern Yemen.
Though the US has tried to downplay its involvement in the war, officials confirmed that US surveillance planes have been flying over Yemen and providing the Saudis with intelligence for their airstrikes, which isn’t an appealing role considering how bloody and unpopular those strikes have been.
http://linkis.com/blacklistednews.com/hR47k
All this because the US-Sunni terrorist axis is afraid of the Shia.
America is more concerned about protecting Saudi and Israeli interests above all else, in the Middle East.
Putin is .... pathetic .... Obama is just stupid ! Bibi is the man !
By death toll you mean Saudi stawk muppets right?
Dead muppets, good one !
Yeah! More dead Muslims.
Wake up muppets. You lot are so far off the mark it's laughable.
This action in Yemen is the US vs China. (With Saudi Arabia the literal Lamb-to-the-slaughter).
Putin is just a China-backing observer in this one.
Retaliation by the USSA against China due to recent events involving the AIIB.
Iran has everything to gain. Israel, everything to lose.
Bingo !
y and another aspect is Iran, being in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and now Yemen, controling two nasval straits.......
China sure is impacted, but Saudi Arabia against Iran is here a story at the sidelines, let me say, the simple and short version.
News reports have Chinese troops fighting there, against US -backed rebels.
Is that what you mean?
Last time I checked, Saudi Arabia doesn't have veto power at the UN . I'm sure Samantha Power will block it for them . Plenty of arms drops for all sides. Looks like a great place for IS to re-supply, eh?
That's where the arms will end up, anyhow.
So much for the UN limiting small arms proliferation.
She'll have Cass Sunstein whispering instructions in her ear after they turn out the light.
With any luck Joe Biden's gorilla or rather son can take over the oil fields in Saudi Arabia instead of Ukraine.
You will not see battalions of US troops putting boots in the sand in Yemen as long as Obama is Prez, I guarantee it.
By the time this conflict is over another one will have started.
No rest I guess for the wicked.
I cant wait for the day America really does sit back and let you all drowned in your own shit.
Fuck the Saudis and their Zio-Neocon boot lickers.
The US is fighting a proxy war against the tyrany of the Saudis. It's known in DC that 911 was orchestrated by the Saudi's and Isreal and the pivot to Iran has always been up the CIA's sleeve as the nuclear option against a rogue ZIO/Saudi threat to the US (which is now occurring). We didn't loose $500MM of weopons in Yeman by accident and the Iranians couldn't afford to be caught seen arming the area during these Iran nuclear negotiations. The ruling Saudi status quo are dead men walking. Lowering the price of oil to attack our shale industry was part of ths. I suspect the Saudi's will soon launch terrorist (again, akin to 911) strikes in the homeland if they start loosing in Yeman.
Hmmm.... they are far too valuable for the empire of chaos (copyright Pepe Escobar) for being attacked by their legions. Naaaa...
You've been listening to Alex Jones again - maybe David Icke - but neither would ever implicate Israel, so that must be your spin.
Is it the beginning of the fall of the Saud/Wahabbi pillar ? It would be nice... with their fall the other three pillars would bobble and perhaps also crash.. Just guess who the other three are...
Yep. This could well be it. New World order time.
We fucking bombed some folks.
“There is little point in putting an embargo on the whole country. It doesn’t make sense to punish everybody else for the behavior of one party that has been the aggressor in this situation,”Saudi Arabia’s representative to the UN Abdallah Al-Mouallimi said after a closed emergency UN Security Council meeting on Saturday.
Fuck that nigga!
I wonder if Saudi schools teach their kids how their country was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers who rammed planes into buildings on 9/11?
Got any footage of a plane ramming into the Pentagon? Or was the CCTV "switched off" that day?
Let's check the BBC....
About as likely as Israeli schools teaching their kids that Mossad and American dual-citizens organized the project.
Saudi just put the boot into an entire anthill which could be the end of their whole fucking house. I see WHY they decided they had no other option, but this is the gamechanger which has the potential to overwhelm everything and end the reign in Riyadh
