Britain’s Covert War in Yemen

#Britain ’s #Covert #War in #Yemen #UK #UN #politics

"The brutal war in Yemen, which has raged since 2015, is the world’s worst #humanitarian #disaster . A delicate truce since April has reduced some of the horror, but that deal seems to be breaking down.

It should be time to reflect about who, on all sides of the conflict, including in Britain, might be indicted for #war #crimes . Nearly 9,000 civilians have been killed in over 25,000 mainly #Saudi air strikes which have been facilitated by Britain’s Royal Air Force. Many more tens of thousands have been killed in the conflict.

The U.N. has repeatedly alleged the commission of war crimes but no Saudi, Briton or Yemeni has been held to account, nor is likely to be. Tragically, it is history repeating itself, and the price once again is being paid by ordinary Yemenis."
