Saudi opposition leader Mohammed Al-Mas’ari has said that “the Saudi-led war against Yemen is a divine trap,” predicting that it would end with a defeat for the Saudi regime and a catastrophe for Riyadh.
The remarks were made during a meeting with the UN on the sidelines of the 42nd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Al-Mas’ari, an influential Saudi dissident and leader of the Committee for the Defence of Legitimate Rights (CDLR), said that the main concern of the al-Saud family is preventing that the Arab Peninsula and the surrounding areas would ever have a system based on popular accountability and legitimacy.
The Saudi dissident leader, who has repeatedly denounced the Saudi monarchy as an affront against Islam, stressed that the people of the Arabian Peninsula are dissatisfied with al-Saud family, pointing to the absence of any real political mechanism in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Mas’ari also challenged his country’s authorities, demanding them to hold a referendum or a popular vote, stressing that the Saudi people are “absent and will not know their opinion unless the regime falls.”
