"According to military sources, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would have dispatched a convoy of armored vehicles, amongst which were war tanks, and other military equipment to Yemen in order for its regime to quell the rising popular movement against president Saleh.
After having attempted for months to bring a political solution to Yemen’s popular uprising, it seems that the Kingdom has exhausted its diplomatic avenues, preferring to refer to oppressive methods to re-establish tranquility.
This is the second this year that Saudi monarchy is using the military as a way to tackle discontent in the region. Only recently, Saudi tanks were advancing in the Bahraini capital, Manama, aiding the Khalifa to abet his crackdown against his detractors. Soon enough the streets were silenced...
Politicians are now criticizing the more, accusing Saudi Arabia of not upholding its moral obligations towards Yemen. “How can a modern state condone a government which uses violence against its own people? How can the King criticizes Syria for killing its people and send Saleh weapons? said a pro-democracy activist in Sana’a."

Bugger, I must keep taking the medication!
