قالها ولم يخاف من اي انسان قال كلمه حق .
في زمن اصبح بعض رجال الدين لا يهمون الى كيف يجمعون الاموال ' وكيف يرضون امرائهم في معصيه خالقهم.
نحنو اليمن السعيد, وسوف يعود سعيد
ان شاء الله.

شاعر اليمن
يشكر جورج ويذم السعودية
من ها هنا موطن الاقحاح
الشكر كل الشكر ياقرداح
فلقد برأت جرح شعب كامل
ولقد جرحت مشاعر السفاح
ماقلت الا النصح ولكن عند
من يسئل منشارا على النصاح
الكون يشهد انها عبثية
لم تجن غيى الحصد للأرواح #تحية_عراقية_لقرداح ✌ pic.twitter.com/KUQtjQxDp9
It is noteworthy that on Friday, Saudi Arabia summoned its ambassador from Lebanon for consultations, while it asked the ambassador of Lebanon to leave the Kingdom within 48 hours, and decided to stop all Lebanese imports to the kingdom.
For his part, a member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi, called for an emergency meeting and a decision to ban Saudi products from entering Yemen, in response to the crisis surrounding Kordahi's statements.
