Yemen is starting to be given a voice. Thank you Media! We need to be louder!

[Just AnotherPerson]

Yemen is a nation that needs our voice. We should speak up loudy every day until we stop aiding in the murder of innocent civilians. If we dont speak up 18.4 million people could die by december. Our nation is aiding in an act of genocide as a business transaction for 350 billion dollars to make America great again. Not only should we report about the bombings but also the strategic elimination of their infrastructure that is purposefully targeting their food sources and causing mass starvation. It is important that you raise your voices. I read an article that said how this war could end today please take a look https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/0...-war-in-yemen/

I am proud to see the media beginning to step up. Thank you Media you are the voice of the people and the world depends on you. I will be so proud of you when I see you reclaim what the media once stood for as the voice of the people. All of us no matter who we are need to spread the word on social media, spread the word in other forums. I dont post in other forums. But many of you do, if this affects your heart and you want to help save lives spread the word. The word can stop this genocide that is underway.

Let's not consent in silence this time!

Shrapnel found in Yemen ties US bombs to string of civilian deaths over course of bloody civil war

Last month, a CNN investigation found remnants of a US-made bomb at the scene of an airstrike that left dozens of schoolboys dead. Now, an independent Yemen-based human rights group called Mwatana has given CNN exclusive access to a trove of documents that show fragments of US-manufactured bombs at the scene of a string of other incidents since 2015, when the civil war began. In each of those cases, civilians were either killed or put at risk.Mwatana, which documents violations by all parties in Yemen’s conflict, used its network of trained field researchers to photograph evidence at the scene of strikes. The group consulted weapons experts to identify the weapons used from serial numbers found on the fragments. Mwatana was recognized last month with an award by US body Human Rights First.While CNN was not on the ground, we have made our own checks using image metadata and publicly available government websites linking each of these incidents to a US manufacturer. An internationally renowned weapons expert also analyzed each image for CNN.The incidents give a snapshot of US involvement in Yemen’s conflict through its support for the Saudi-led coalition that is battling a Houthi-led rebel insurgency. The United States says it does not make targeting decisions for the coalition. But it does support its operations through billions of dollars in arms sales, the refueling of Saudi combat aircraft and some sharing of intelligence.

Mwatana’s chairwoman, Radhya al-Mutawakel, told CNN that the US bore a “legal and moral responsibility for selling weapons to the Saudi-led coalition” that are worsening the conflict in Yemen.

Yemen’s Descent into Hell

A Saudi-American war of terror

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2...s-descent-hell

The Statistics of Suffering
Some appalling numbers document the anguish Yemenis have endured. Saudi and Emirati warplanes officially have killed—and it’s considered a conservative estimate—6,475 civilians and wounded more than 10,000 others since 2015. Targets struck have included farms, homes, marketplaces, hospitals, schools, and mosques, as well as ancient historic sites in Sana’a. And such incidents haven’t been one-off attacks. They have happened repeatedly.
By April 2018, the Saudi-led coalition had conducted 17,243 airstrikes across Yemen, hitting 386 farms, 212 schools, 183 markets, and 44 mosques. Such statistics make laughable the repeated claims of the Saudis and their allies that such “incidents” should be chalked up to understandable errors and that they take every reasonable precaution to protect innocents. Statistics compiled by the independent Yemen Data Project make it clear that the Gulf monarchs don’t lie awake at night lamenting the deaths of Yemeni civilians.

Just goes to show you that the US-Saudi-UAE coalition is specifically targeting civilian infrastructure, and hence, the reason so many millions are at risk of starvation in the next couple months. Hard to eat when your farms get turned into swimming pools.

Can either Just AnotherPerson or RadioGod add onto social media(so hilarious that JAP thinks that social media and the 'word' will make a dent here, what a card) that Iranian-backed Houthi rebels must stop firing missiles directly into Saudi Arabia thus endangering the security of that nation. If another nation were firing missiles into the United States, RadioGod and JAP would want instant reaction especially if the missiles are targeting their towns. As it is, this is nothing but liberal I don't know what the fck is even going on in Yemen wing it bullshiit. I call that an Ethereal

'Too weak to cry:' Save the Children warns 5 million children at risk of famine in Yemen

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/19/middl...ntl/index.html


'Vital lifeline'


The port is a "vital lifeline" for goods and aid for 80% of the country's population, the organization estimates.
"Even the smallest disruption to food, fuel and aid supplies through its vital port could mean death for hundreds of thousands of malnourished children unable to get the food they need to stay alive," said Tamer Kirolos, Save the Children's country director for Yemen.
"It could drive up the price of fuel -- and as a result transport -- to such an extent that families can't even afford to take their sick children to hospital."

Alongside the collapse of the country's currency, the Yemeni riyal, the price of food has doubled in the past few days, Save the Children asserts.
Even as food sits in markets, the prices have meant that increasing numbers of Yemenis are unable to feed their families, it says.
Fuels like gasoline and cooking gas have also increased by 25% in recent months, making it harder for people to travel and feed their families.

The United Nations has said an assault on the port city could, in the worst scenario, could kill up to 250,000 people. Around 70% of humanitarian aid passes through the Red Sea port.
The military offensive in the province started in June but fighting stalled, especially in Hodeidah, as the UN tried to bring warring parties to the negotiating table.
The latest attempt was in Geneva earlier this month but the Houthis didn't travel as all sides blamed each other for obstructing the peace talks.

That's great.

Now, might you step aside and not obstruct the Saudi Prince with the bags of cash from looking at our Apache Helicopter showroom and fighter jet parts depots, thanks.

Oh....and the Polish General is here to get the signature for Fort Trump, gonna give us 2 billion annually. I'd take that deal, and wouldn't that then become a stark reminder to Putin that the US isn't going anywhere.

Even if someone was firing missles at my hometown, I would not want to specifically target civilians who had nothing to do with it in retaliation.

Ransom, this is the kind of comment that really has me thinking you are just plain dumb. The weapons and weapons platforms we develop should not be on showroom floors, they should be for the defense of our nation. Taxpayer money is sunk into those weapons through private corporations, we pay for development, and those corporations then get to sell them to whoever we think is ok? And who is ok changes from day-to-day? I know we tend to sell dumbed-down versions of our best stuff, but we will end up facing our own weapons at some point.
