In light of @jakejsullivan announcement today that US will end support for “offensive operations” in #Yemen reupping my thread here re why the distinction of offensive vs defensive operations (or weapons) is meaningless if the goal is to end our support for #Saudi and #UAE abuses https://twitter.com/sarahleah1/status/1355127140069617671
The end of US support for offensive Saudi UAE operations is also not the end of the Yemen war, and should not be the end of accountability for America’s own disastrous support for the destruction of Yemen. We need congressional hearings to investigate how we ended up in this war
And what of compensation & reparations to the people of Yemen, whose schools, universities, hospitals, factories, farms, homes&even ancient architectural heritage were bombarded byUS bombs, to say nothing of Yemenis killed, injured, terrorized &traumatized? When does that happen?
