The Nobel Peace laureate and human rights activist has denied that one day she officially announced any support for what is known as Operation Decisive Storm, a Saudi-led military intervention whose operations

were launched in March 2015 in Yemen after the Iranian-backed Houthi militia and forces loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh carried out the coup against Yemen’s legitimate authority.

The statement by Ms. Tawakkol Karman, who has been living in Turkey with her family since before the coup, has come as a comment on news shared by pro-Houthi militia websites claiming that Karman has shown remorse why she had supported the military coalition.

"As long as I did not support the storm of treachery, I don’t need to express any regret," Karman said in her official Twitter account.

The military alliance led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has staged countless air strikes against the neighboring, impoverished country, which – after more than two years of war, is facing specter of famine and the worst humanitarian disaster in the world. 

Saudi Arabia and its allies, which receive logistical and intelligence help from the United States, claim they are fighting in Yemen in order to restore to power the internationally government represented by the legitimate president Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi after the Iranian Houthi militia backed by forces loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh led their coup and took over the capital Sana’a in 2014.
