Social media users and activists in Arab countries have launched an online campaign calling for a boycott of Saudi products in protest at the regime’s war crimes against Yemeni people.
People from Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt and several other Arab countries have mobilized on online social media platforms such as Twitter to prompt a global movement against the Saudi-led war on Yemen.
They are poised to set off a Twitter storm in protest at the Riyadh regime’s atrocities committed during the military offensive.
The activists have also circulated a video on social media websites, urging the public to avoid purchasing Saudi-made goods in a show of support for war-stricken Yemenis.
The anti-Saudi campaign is said to be similar to the one known as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which was initiated in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian organizations against the Israeli regime.
