Bahlobo Abathandekayo,

Ngomhla ka-Ephreli 10, i-2017, amalungu oluntu lwaseNew York Catholic Worker, i-Upstate Coalition yokuphelisa iiMfazwe kunye neGround the Drones, kunye neVoices for Creative Nonviolence iya kuqala iveki ngokukhawuleza kwiSixeko saseNew York. Ngokudibeneyo siza kubamba ubukho boluntu ngaphaya kweZizwe eziManyeneyo kuDonga lukaIsaya. Njengoko sizila ukutya kuzo zonke ukutya okuqinileyo, sikhuthaza abanye ukuba bahlanganyele nathi ekubizeni impendulo yobuntu kwintlekele ebulalayo ejongene nabemi baseYemeni abalizwe labo, elidlakazwe yimfazwe yamakhaya kwaye lijoliswe rhoqo kwi-airstrikes yaseSaudi kunye ne-US, ngoku iphezu kwendlala. . Umbutho oxhaswa yi-US okhokelwa yi-Saudi nawo unyanzelisa ukuvalwa kolwandle kwiindawo eziphethwe ngabavukeli. I-Yemen ingenisa ngaphandle i-90% yokutya kwayo; ngenxa yothintelo, amaxabiso okutya nawepetroli ayenyuka kwaye ukunqongophala kukwinqanaba lobunzima.

UNICEF uqikelelo ukuba ngaphezu kwe-460,000 yabantwana e-Yemen bajongene nokungondleki kakhulu, ngelixa i-3.3 yezigidi zabantwana kunye nabasetyhini abakhulelweyo okanye abancancisayo banengxaki yokungondleki.

Bangaphezu kwe-10,000 abantu abaye babulawa, kubandakanywa 1,564 abantwana, yaye izigidi ziye zagxothwa kumakhaya azo.

Kolu ngcelele lubalulekileyo, onke amalungu e-UN kufuneka abongoze ukuba kuphele ukuphela kwebhloko kunye ne-airstrikes, ukuthuliswa kwayo yonke imipu, kunye nokuzinziswa kwemfazwe kwidabi lase-Yemen.

Ngelixa abantwana baseYemeni belambile, abenzi bezixhobo base-US, kubandakanya iGeneral Dynamics, uRaytheon, kunye noLockheed Martin, bafumana inzuzo ngokuthengisa izixhobo eSaudi Arabia.

Njengabemi base-US, sinoxanduva lokuqinisekisa ukuba i-US:

1. Imisa lonke uhlaselo lwe-drone kunye "nemisebenzi ekhethekileyo" yasemkhosini ngaphakathi kweYemen

3. Ibonelela ngembuyekezo kwabo baye bafumana ilahleko ebangelwe luhlaselo lwase-US.

“Sele yeyona ngxaki inkulu yoluntu emhlabeni kwaye abantu baseYemeni ngoku bajongene nendlala. Namhlanje, isibini kwisithathu sabemi - abantu abazizigidi ezili-18.8 - bafuna uncedo kwaye ngaphezu kwe-7 yezigidi balambile kwaye abazi ukuba ukutya kwabo okulandelayo kuya kuvela phi. Oko kukuthi izigidi ezi-3 zabantu ngaphezu kweJanuwari. Njengoko umlo uqhubeka kwaye usanda, ukufuduka kuyanda.

NgoSeptemba, 2016, UAndrew Cockburn wabhala kwiMagazini kaHarper:

Kwiminyaka nje embalwa edlulileyo, iYemen yagwetywa njengelinye lawona mazwe ahlwempuzekileyo emhlabeni, ibeka indawo ye-154 kumazwe ali-187 kwi-UN's Human Development Index. Umntu omnye kwabahlanu baseYemen walamba. Phantse umntu omnye kwabathathu wayengaphangeli. Nyaka ngamnye, abantwana abangama-40,000 basweleka ngaphambi kokuba bagqibe iminyaka emihlanu, kwaye iingcali zaqikelela ukuba ilizwe liza kuphelelwa ngamanzi kungekudala.

Yayinjalo ke imeko emaxongo yelizwe phambi kokuba I-Saudi Arabia yakhupha iphulo lokuqhubhisa ibhomu ngo-Matshi 2015, eliye latshabalalisa iindawo zokugcina iimpahla, iifektri, izityalo zamandla, amachweba, izibhedlele, iitanki zamanzi, izikhululo zegesi, kunye neebhulorho, kunye neethagethi ezixubileyo ukusuka kwiinqwelo zeedonki ukuya kumaqela omtshato ukuya kwizikhumbuzo ze-archaeological. Amawakawaka abantu - akukho mntu waziyo ukuba bangaphi - babuleweyo okanye benzakele. Kunye nokuqhushumba, ii-Saudis ziye zanyanzelisa isithintelo, zacima ukutya, amafutha kunye namayeza. Unyaka onesiqingatha emfazweni, inkqubo yezempilo iye yaqhekeka kakhulu, kwaye uninzi lwelizwe lusemngciphekweni wendlala.

In NgoDisemba, i-2017, uMedea Benjamin wabhala:    "Ngaphandle kwemeko yengcinezelo yolawulo lwaseSaudi, oorhulumente base-US abaxhasanga kuphela i-Saudis kwi-diplomatic front, kodwa ngomkhosi. Ngaphantsi kolawulo luka-Obama, oku kuguqulelwe kwintengiso yezixhobo ezinkulu ze-115 yeebhiliyoni zeedola. Ngelixa abantwana baseYemeni bebulawa yindlala enkulu ngenxa yeziqhushumbisi zaseSaudi, abenzi bezixhobo baseMelika, kubandakanya iGeneral Dynamics, uRaytheon, kunye noLockheed Martin, babulala kwiintengiso. "

Amanqaku ongezelelweyo malunga nohlaselo lwase-US kunye neSaudi ngokuchasene neYemen:
