Yemen

The Obama administration has approved an $11.25 billion deal.

The military intervention in Yemen has caused a bloodbath and created a humanitarian disaster.

Despite its leverage over the Saudis, the Obama administration has been unwilling to force an end to the war in Yemen.

The US must ensure that former Guantanamo prisoners, after years of detention without charge or trial, do not face further persecution upon release.

Since there is no vaccine against the diseases, and no specific antiviral drug with which to treat the symptoms, prevention is the only long-term solution.

Weapons used in these particular attacks were US made M26 rockets. Any civilian in the impact area is likely to be killed or injured.

Neither the United States, Saudi Arabia or Yemen have joined the global convention banning the use of cluster munitions.

Yemenis are in need of aid after 1.5 million displaced and a death toll of 4,000 in just five months.

To re-emphasize, it is now estimated that over 21 million people are in need of assistance with 1.3 million officially displaced.

Supporting Saudi attacks on Yemen is a way for the US to show the Saudis that Iran is still a mutual adversary.
