The Imam mentioned the war crimes in Yemen and the pain of hunger, poverty and cholera under the Saudi's daily bombardments and aggression!
A number of Imams emphasized on the locality of the Council mission and recommended to focus on the plights of Muslim community in America and to avoid bringing the Middle East problems to the Council discussions.
