The French Le Monde reported (pictured below), as did Qatari Al Jazeera and the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s China Daily, but few more.
UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) reported on Saturday in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, that 47 children were killed or maimed in January and February, in the war that “recently flared up”. In seven years, 10,200 children were killed.
The American Wall Street Journal did not even register, in an extensive report on Sunday, in which it accompanied pro-Saudi Arabia and UAE fighters in Marib, a city in northern Yemen. On the home call, “Saudis fight to turn the tide” against pro-Iran fighters.
“Enemy bullets rip over the head,” begins the text, which highlights a pro-Saudi he calls “Fouad O Bravo.” The attacks, mainly by air, by the Saudi military and its allies use weapons and are supported by the United States.
But they want more. According to the WSJ envoy, “a senior Saudi official” warned: “If they take control of Marib, we will lose the war and lose stability in the region.”
MORE WAR
Iranians such as PressTV and Israelis such as Ynet noted on Sunday that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed to have attacked “Mossad bases” or “Israel’s strategic centers” in the Kurdish region of Iraq. It would be a response to an Israeli attack on Iranians in Syria.
Americans like the New York Times and WSJ have taken to the headlines that the missiles hit “near the consulate” and “sent US soldiers running for shelter”.
180 MERCENARIES OR 35 PEOPLE
Russians such as Argumenty i Fakty and Kommersant reported, citing the defense ministry, that “180 foreign mercenaries” were killed in an attack on a base in western Ukraine. It was the number used by the Times of India and other emerging ones, in digital headlines.
35 People Headlines in the Americans NYT and WSJ, as well as others in the West, sometimes citing “Ukrainian officials”, were “at least 35 people”.
MUSK, GOVERNMENTS AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
The founder and CEO of the American search engine DuckDuckGo announced that even he was taking action against “Russian disinformation”. That leaves the satellite network of Elon Musk, who tweeted on his profile (banner above), followed by 78 million:
“Some governments have told Starlink to block Russian news sources. We will not do so unless at gunpoint. Sorry for being a free speech absolutist.”
