Saudi Arabia's recent actions in Yemen deserve the strongest condemnation.
According to reports on the ground, Yemeni forces have allowed Saudi-aligned Yemeni forces to withdraw from the areas surrounding Bab al-Mandab and Dubab Airport towards Aden, in an effort to spare Yemeni lives and prevent further bloodshed.
Saudi Arabia's response? launching what is described as an unprecedented wave of intense airstrikes against those forces as they retreat.
Think about that for a second.
Even a withdrawal designed to prevent further Yemeni victims is probably unthinkable when it does not serve Riyadh's military and strategic calculations.
Saudi Arabia is effectively proving that even the lives of its Yemeni allies can be wasted in its quest to break Yemeni pressure on shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.
What kind of leadership bombards its allies when they retreat?
