The Saudi regime and its allies are spending huge amounts of money to “suppress” news about the realities on the ground in Yemen as part of a broader “propaganda war” against the Arabian Peninsula state, a university lecturer says.

The Riyadh-led coalition is taking the “propaganda war” very seriously so they could keep the truth about the Yemen war “systematically under-reported,” Tim Anderson told Press TV on Monday.

“The Saudis have been paying a lot of money to try and suppress the news about what is going on particularly the attack on Hudaydah,” a strategic port city in western Yemen that constitutes the main conduit for humanitarian aid.
