Saudi Arabia has replaced a number of top military commanders in a late-night political reshuffle Monday, it is an evidence of their military failure during the stalemated and ruinous war in Yemen, and the apparent inability to intercept Yemeni ballistic missile towards Saudi Arabia.

The state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said that Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz had issued the orders that included reshuffles for the positions of chief of general staff and the commanders of the country’s air defense force, land forces and strategic missiles force. Which the overhaul in the Saudi defense forces should be seen only as a failure to the Yemen war.

The decisions come as the Saudi-led coalition, remains mired in a stalemate in Yemen. While the kingdom faces wide international criticism for its airstrikes killing civilians and striking markets, hospitals and other civilian targets. Aid groups also blame a Saudi-led blockade of Yemen for pushing the country to the brink of famine.

The Saudi Arabia’s crown prince 32-year-old is driving a change in pursuit of his goals as securing his hold on power but making a lot of enemies.

The international community, the UN, the Saudi aggression and its allies, must ultimately bear full responsibility for the shocking scenes that we have seen three years of emaciated bodies wracked by the preventable, treatable disease of cholera, along with the further needless civilian deaths from bombing, blockades and siege tactics.
