I le va o Mati 2015 ma le 2016, na fasiotia ai e Saudi Arabia le silia ma le 6,000 tagata i lenei taua, ma a itiiti ifo ma le afa o i latou o tagata lautele. Ua taʻua e Malo Aufaatasi le tulaga alofa i Yemen, le atunuu sili ona matitiva i Sasaʻe Tutotonu, o se mala. E fa mai le lima Yemenis i aso nei o loʻo faʻalagolago i fesoasoani alofa mo lo latou ola. E leai se avanoa i auaunaga taua e pei o le vai mama ma le eletise, ma le tau o meaʻai ua faʻateleina ma faʻatupuina se tulaga le mautonu mo le faitau miliona.
Matou te auai faatasi ma sui usufono e 64 o le Maota o Sui na una'ia le tuai o le fa'atau, ma Republican Senators Rand Paul ma Mike Lee ma Democratic Senators Chris Murphy ma Al Franken's iugafono soofaatasi, polokaina le General Dynamic $1.15 piliona le faatauina atu i Saudi Arabia o tane tau 153 Abrams ma 20 auupega toe faaleleia (faʻaaogaina e toe faʻaleleia tane leaga mai le malae). I le aso Aokuso 10, 2016, na logoina ai e le Pentagon le Konekeresi lenei $ 1.15 piliona i le faatauina atu o auupega ma taʻua ai o le "General Dynamics o le a avea ma konekarate autu mo le faʻatau." O le militeri a Saudi ua talitonu ua leiloa nisi o ana tane 400-plus Abrams i le taimi o taua i Yemen.
Matou te malilie faatasi ma le Senator Ron Paul o le na tusia, "O le faatauina atu o le $ 1.15 piliona i tane, fana, pulufana, ma isi mea i se atunuu e le lelei faamaumauga o aia tatau a tagata soifua ua aafia i se taua faigata, o se fua mo faalavelave ma le faateleina o se tuuga faʻaauau pea i totonu. le itulagi.” O le faʻaauauina o lenei faʻatauga o le a, e pei ona faʻamatalaina e Oxfam Amerika, "o faʻailoga i tagata Yemeni o le lagolago a le US mo le soʻotaga taʻitaʻia a Saudi i Yemen e le faʻalagolago - e tusa lava po o le a le sauā o auala o taua a vaega poʻo le a le latou le naunau e faia. filemu.” FN 1

FN 3. Fai mai le tala:
O Saudi Arabia e foliga mai o loʻo faʻaaogaina auupega paʻepaʻe paʻepaʻe a le US i lana taua i Yemen, e faʻavae i luga o ata ma vitio na lafoina i luga o ala o faasalalauga lautele, faʻatupu popolega i vaega o aia tatau a tagata e mafai ona faʻaogaina mea e sili ona faʻafefe e faasaga i tagata lautele.
I lalo o tulafono faatonutonu a le US, o le phosphorus paʻepaʻe faʻatau atu i isi atunuʻu e tatau ona faʻaaogaina mo naʻo le faʻailoga i isi 'au ma le faia o faʻamalama asu. A pa le auupega, e faʻasaʻo mai le phosphorus paʻepaʻe e otometi ona mumu i le ea ma faʻatupu ai se asu paepae mafiafia. Pe a faʻaaogaina e faasaga i fitafita poʻo tagata lautele, e mafai ona faʻamaʻi ma fasioti e ala i le mu i le ponaivi.
E le o manino lelei pe faʻafefea ona faʻaogaina e le au Saudis ia auupega, ae ua uma ona maua e le malo le faʻasalaina lautele ona o lona faʻalavelave faʻafuaseʻi i nofoaga faitele talu mai lana osofaʻiga e faasaga i le au fouvale i Yemen na amata ile 2015.
