America’s ongoing genocide in Yemen

(SHS) Scott Horton (antiwar.com) says, "This is the most important story in the world," but there's an almost "total media blackout" on it.

He talks to peace activist and musician Hassan El-Tayyab (lead lobbyist for the Friends Committee on National Legislation's Middle East Policy and Affairs Division, justforeignpolicy.org) about the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen.

• "After 5 years of war in Yemen, American complicity must end" (Hassan El-Tayyab in TheHill.com)

The U.S. continues to lead Saudi Arabia in waging an aggressive war against the Middle East’s poorest country, Yemen.

Horton reminds us that U.S. Pres. Trump could end this war with a single phone call. But Trump is too concerned with arms contracts with the Saudi government to risk jeopardizing the relationship.

Things are already desperate for the Yemeni people, who have a hard time securing food, medicine, and clean water. These humanitarian problems have led to the world’s worst outbreaks of cholera, a disease treated with basic sanitation and nutrition.

It would be an utter disaster if the coronavirus spreads to Yemen on top of the problems they are being made to face by the U.S. military. Points discussed on the show:

• “After 5 years of war in Yemen, American complicity must end” (The Hill)
• Stockholm Agreement
• “Senate passes Sanders’ war powers resolution on Yemen” (Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont)
• “3/20/20 Scott Paul on Yemen’s ongoing humanitarian crisis” (The Libertarian Institute)
