Saudi-led coalition’s bombing of Yemen. We cannot let there be a ninth!

We need a greater global demand for an end to warmaking, including:
- the sanctioning and indicting of the Saudi, U.S., and UAE governments;
- the use of the War Powers Resolution by the U.S. Congress to forbid U.S. participation;
- a global end to weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and UAE;
- a lifting of the Saudi blockade, and the complete opening of all airports and seaports in Yemen;
- a peace agreement;
- the prosecution of all guilty parties by the International Criminal Court;
- a truth and reconciliation process; and
- the removal from the region of U.S. troops and weaponry.
SIGN THE PETITION HERE.
The war on Yemen has been one of the worst crises on Earth for years. It
is a Saudi-U.S. collaboration for which both U.S. military involvement
and U.S. weapons sales are necessary. The UK, Canada, and other nations
are providing weapons. Other Gulf Kingdoms, including the UAE, are
participating.
Despite the current pause in bombings in Yemen since April 2022, there
is no structure in place to prevent Saudi Arabia from resuming
airstrikes, nor to permanently end the Saudi-led blockade of the
country. The possibility of a Chinese-facilitated peace between Saudi
Arabia and Iran is encouraging, but does not make peace in Yemen or feed
anyone in Yemen. Providing Saudi Arabia with nuclear technology, which
it clearly wants in order to be closer to possessing nuclear weapons,
must not be part of any deal.
Children are starving to death every day in Yemen, with millions
malnourished and two-thirds of the country in need of humanitarian aid. Almost
no containerized goods have been able to enter Yemen’s principal port
of Hodeida since 2017, leaving people in desperate need of food and
medical supplies. Yemen needs some $4 billion in aid, but saving Yemeni
lives is not the same priority for Western governments as fueling the
war in Ukraine or bailing out banks.
