😲 አስደናቂ ምስል! በሳዑዲ አረቢያ የ F1 መኪና-ስፖርት ውድድር ወቅት ጅዳ ላይ የሚሳኤል ጥቃት ደረሰ ፥ ዋው!

My Note: Saudi Arabia – September 2018 – on Ethiopia’s New 2011 Year’s week

In the presence of their cruel Saudi babysitters, the two evil traitors, Abiy Ahmed Ali of Ethiopia & Isaias Afewerki of Eritrea signed a genocide pact against Christians of Northern Ethiopia.

💭 Boris Johnson Going From ‘Dictator to Dictator’ Visiting Mass Murderer Saudi Arabia & Selling Chelsea to Them

‘Two weeks ago, Babylon Saudi Arabia executed 81 prisoners. This weekend, F1 hypocrites who just told us – “This is probably the safest place you can be in Saudi Arabia at the moment. That is why we are racing.” — will open Aladin’s rose water bottles in one of the most violent and inhumane nations of the planet. If true, a speedy recovery to Vettel – but I’ve got this feeling that he is not interested in racing either in Bahrain or in Saudi Arabia. It’s a disgrace that F1 is present in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Azerbaijan. Frankly speaking Sochi is safer and more humane than Jeddah and Saudi Arabia at the moment – yet concerning Sochi and Russia everyone was faster than Lewis Hamilton to grab the moral high ground. You’ll know if someone is on his high horse, because he will behave as though he’s superior to everyone around him, almost like a haughty king riding his horse past his lowly subjects.

💭 Fireball Consumes Oil Facility as Houthis Launch Terror Campaign ‘Deep’ in Saudi Arabia

Formula 1 teams and drivers have been told that the Saudi Arabian GP is continuing as planned following a fire at an oil depot close to the circuit, which Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim was an attack by the group.

A large and very expressive black smoke cloud could be seen from the F1 track towards the end of first practice, and Max Verstappen reported on team radio that he could smell “burning” from the cockpit of his Red Bull car.

Practice continued as normal, though there was a 15-minute delay to the start of second practice as drivers and team principals met with F1 president Stefano Domenicali and the FIA’s Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

A fiery explosion lit up the skyline over the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah on Friday morning, clearly visible from the F1 racing track where the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix is set to take place Sunday.

The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen issued a statement claiming they have launched a series of attacks “deep” into Saudi territory.

The fireball appeared to erupt from the North Jeddah Bulk Plant, which stores nearly a quarter of Saudi Arabia’s stockpile of fuel for ground and air vehicles, as well as the fuel supply for a crucial water desalination plant near Jeddah. The fuel storage facility was one of the primary targets in a wave of Houthi terrorist attacks last weekend but sustained only minor damage, according to Saudi officials.

Saudi state television on Friday reported attacks on water tanks in the town of Dharan and an electrical substation close to the Yemeni border.

The Houthi-controlled al-Masirah satellite news channel in Yemen said on Friday that “more details” would soon be released about the purported attacks on Saudi Arabian civilian targets but did not explicitly claim responsibility for the Jeddah explosion.

The Houthis were classified as a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration, but the designation was rescinded by President Joe Biden soon after he took office. The Saudi government warned this week that continued Houthi attacks on their oil infrastructure could hinder their ability to supply oil during the worldwide fuel crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Update, 1:15 p.m. EST: Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea claimed responsibility for a “missile” attack on Jeddah, plus drone attacks on the Saudi refineries at Ras Tanura and Rabigh. Sarea said the Houthis also attacked targets in the Saudi capital city of Riyadh.

Update, 1:20 p.m. EST: Saudi state media quoted a spokesman for the military coalition against the Yemen insurgency who said a ballistic missile and ten bomb-laden drones were intercepted on Friday. The Houthi weapons were aimed at several different cities. The coalition said relatively minor damage was inflicted on several targets, plus collateral damage to civilian vehicles and residences, but none of it was severe, and there was no loss of life.
