It’s nice and all to focus on what’s happening in Ukraine because Putin’s rule is truly horrifying for those who defy the norms (queers, anarchists…) but let’s not forget there is war elsewhere.

Such as in Yemen, where the Saudis (long-time petro-allies of the USA) have been bombing the local population and committing horrendous crimes for years… all with the nice and friendly help from western powers selling weapons and performing drone strikes on civilians.

From the article:

Children are the “first and most to suffer”, UNICEF said, adding that at least 10,000 minors have been killed or injured since 2015, when the Saudi-led military alliance launched air raids in the Middle East’s poorest country.

Hundreds of thousands of people have died as a direct or indirect consequence of Yemen’s war between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels and government forces backed by the Saudi-led military coalition.

PS: Does someone have a link for the ex-US-inteligence operatives investigated for working on political repression for Saudi intelligence? i remember reading about it on HN (because one of them “came clean” when he realized how he was being “used”) but can’t find the source now
