LazyHippo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 What happens in Yemen is very sad because the "international community" ignores it or looks to other side. As I have been reading in some sources it seems Saudi Arabia is working as sponsor to the actual Yemen's government. So, meanwhile that continues I dont see a pretty much nice end for the rebels or the people in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalacticaQT Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Its tragic that atrocities of such a scale are committed right under our noses. We dally about our day to day lives in the US and are none the wiser to what is happening in the international realm. I am a bit ashamed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it all starts on the weapon factories, who encourages, finances and keep them rolling? the governments, you can choose, a lot of them are in the business. Saudi Arabia buys weapons from a lot of countries, they got pocket full of money from their oil deals as well so then you have weapons to kill or sell. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/22/middleeast/arms-exports-saudi-arabia-intl/index.html So Mansur's government is winning that war because of that business from Saudi Arabia that at the same time is just an intermediary from global mandate. Its very unfair from my point of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
