Abangane Abathandekayo,
Ngo-Ephreli 10, i-2017, amalungu omphakathi waseNew York Catholic Worker, i-Upstate Coalition yokuqeda izimpi kanye ne-Ground the Drones, kanye ne-Voices for Creative Nonviolence izoqala isonto lonke ngokushesha eNew York City. Ngokuhlanganyela sizobamba ukubonakala komphakathi ngaphesheya kweNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene e-Isaiah Wall. Njengoba sizila ukudla kukho konke ukudla okuqinile, sinxusa abanye ukuthi bahlanganyele nathi ekubizeni impendulo yobuntu enhlekeleleni ebulalayo ebhekene nezakhamuzi zase-Yemeni izwe labo, elicekelwe phansi yimpi yombango futhi elivame ukuhloswe ngazo ngezindiza zaseSaudi ne-US, manje selisonqenqemeni lwendlala. . Umfelandawonye oholwa yi-Saudi osekelwa yi-US uphinde uphoqelele ukuvinjwa kolwandle ezindaweni eziphethwe amavukela-mbuso. I-Yemen ingenisa ngaphandle amaphesenti angama-90 okudla kwayo; ngenxa yokuvinjwa, amanani okudla nophethiloli ayenyuka futhi ukushoda kusezingeni elibucayi.
UNICEF izilinganiso ukuthi izingane ezingaphezu kuka-460,000 e-Yemen zibhekene nokungondleki okubi kakhulu, kuyilapho izingane eziyizigidi ezingu-3.3 kanye nabesifazane abakhulelwe noma abancelisayo behlushwa ukungondleki okukhulu.
Bangaphezu kuka-10,000 abantu asebebulewe, kuhlanganisa Izingane ze-1,564, futhi izigidi ziye zaxoshwa emizini yazo.
Kulesi simo esibucayi, wonke amazwe angamalungu e-UN kumele akhuthaze ukuthi kuqedwe ukuvinjwa kanye nokuhlasela kwezindiza, kuthuliswe zonke izibhamu, kanye nokuxoxisana ngempi yaseYemen.
Ngenkathi izingane zase-Yemeni zibulawa indlala, abenzi bezikhali baseMelika, okuhlanganisa iGeneral Dynamics, uRaytheon, no-Lockheed Martin, benza inzuzo ngokudayiswa kwezikhali eSaudi Arabia.
Njengezakhamizi zase-U.S., sinesibopho sokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-U.S.:
- Imisa konke ukuhlasela kwe-drone kanye "nemisebenzi ekhethekile" yezempi ngaphakathi kwe-Yemen
- Iqeda konke ukuthengiswa kwezikhali zase-U.S. nosizo lwezempi e-Saudi Arabia
- Inikeza isinxephezelo kulabo abalahlekelwe ukuhlaselwa yi-U.S.

Samukela abantu abazohlanganyela nathi ngalezo zikhathi. Isonto lizobandakanya ukuhlungwa kwefilimu kanye nengxoxo, (sithemba ukuthi sizobonisa ifilimu ye-BBCNews, i-Starving Yemen, endaweni kanye nesikhathi esizomenyezelwa), izethulo emiphakathini yendawo, kanye nokuvakasha nomphakathi nabaholi bezenkolo eNew York City. . Sicela usithinte ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe.

Ngo-March 10th, isikhulu se-UN Humanitarian Affairs uStephen O’Brien wabhala:
"Sekuyinhlekelele enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni futhi abantu baseYemeni manje babhekene nendlala. Namuhla, izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabantu - abantu abayizigidi ezingu-18.8 - badinga usizo futhi abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-7 balambile futhi abazi ukuthi ukudla kwabo okulandelayo kuzovelaphi. Lokho kungabantu abayizigidi ezi-3 ngaphezu kukaJanuwari. Njengoba ukulwa kuqhubeka futhi kwanda, ukufuduka kuyanda. Njengoba izikhungo zezempilo zicekeleke phansi futhi zilimele, izifo zigcwele izwe lonke.” –https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/Documents/ERC_USG_Stephen_OBrien_Statement_to_the_SecCo_on_Missions_to_Yemen_South_Sudan_Somalia_and_Kenya_and_update_on_Oslo.pdf
NgoSepthemba, 2016, U-Andrew Cockburn wabhala ku-Harper's Magazine:
Eminyakeni embalwa nje edlule, iYemen yahlulelwa njengephakathi kwamazwe ampofu kakhulu emhlabeni, ikleliswe endaweni ye-154 emazweni angu-187 ku-U.N.'s Human Development Index. Umuntu oyedwa kwabahlanu baseYemenis wayelambile. Cishe oyedwa kwabathathu wayengasebenzi. Minyaka yonke, izingane ezingu-40,000 ziyafa ngaphambi kokuba zihlanganise iminyaka emihlanu, futhi ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi izwe lalizophelelwa amanzi maduze.
Sasinjalo isimo esibi sezwe ngaphambi I-Saudi Arabia yethula umkhankaso wokuqhuma kwamabhomu ngoMashi 2015, ocekele phansi izindawo zokugcina izimpahla, amafekthri, izikhungo zikagesi, amachweba, izibhedlela, amathangi amanzi, amagalaji kaphethiloli, namabhuloho, kanye nezinto ezihlosiwe ezihlukahlukene kusukela ezinqoleni zezimbongolo kuya emaphathini omshado kuya ezikhumbuzo zemivubukulo. Izinkulungwane zezakhamuzi — akekho owaziyo ukuthi zingaki —ezibulewe noma zalimala. Kanye nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu, abakwaSaudis baphoqelele ukuvinjwa, banqamula izinsiza zokudla, uphethiloli nemithi. Unyaka nengxenye kuyimpi, uhlelo lwezempilo luye lwawohloka kakhulu, futhi ingxenye enkulu yezwe isonqenqemeni lwendlala.
In Disemba, 2017, uMedea Benjamin wabhala: “Naphezu kwengcindezelo yombuso waseSaudi, ohulumeni base-US abagcinanga ngokusekela amaSaudis phambili, kodwa ngezempi. Ngaphansi kokuphatha kuka-Obama, lokhu kuhumushele ekuthengisweni kwezikhali okukhulu kwezigidigidi ezingama- $ 115. Ngenkathi izingane zaseYemeni zibulawa yindlala ingxenye enkulu ngenxa yokuqhuma kwamabhomu eSaudi, abenzi bezikhali baseMelika, okuhlanganisa iGeneral Dynamics, Raytheon, kanye noLockheed Martin, bayabulala ngokuthengisa. "
Izindatshana ezengeziwe mayelana nokuhlaselwa kwe-US neSaudi ngokumelene neYemen:
