Yemen war powers resolution proposed


Listen Later

Despite Biden’s campaign promise to end support to Saudi Arabia in their war against Yemen, little has been accomplished to fulfill that promise, according to Hassen El-Tayyab, Legislative Director for Middle East Policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation. The U.S. continues to provide logistic, weapons, and political support to the Saudi bombardment of Yemen, where 400,000 children suffer from malnutrition and lack of clean water. But two lawmakers, Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Peter DeFazio will be introducing a new Yemen War Powers Resolution to re-assert Congressional war authority on March 25th, the 7th anniversary of the Saudi war against Yemen.
And the media is blatantly displaying racism by only adequately covering a war between white people.
