With the latest spate of air strikes, civilian massacres and ballistic-missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and a U.S. Navy warship, the seemingly endless war in Yemen has worked its way back into the headlines.The truth is that Yemen’s government lacks popular support. Its military has largely sided with the insurgents. Iran probably plays very little role. And the terrorists in Yemen are, at best, a side show to the main fighting.

Saudi Arabia is waging unfair war on its neighbor, Yemen. They are bombing civilians, using weapons that the United States sold them. President Trump says he doesn’t want to stop selling them weapons because it will hurt the American people, he says our economy will suffer. The Yemen economy is shaken, people in Yemen are starving and dying because of the war. And while the damage goes deeper than the numbers the numbers are staggering.

According to the UNICEF reports; 20 million people need humanitarian relief to survive. More than a 1500 people have died from the conflict, 3600 people are wounded and more than a million people have fled there homes.
