Representatives of the US Congress: The comprehensive bombing of Yemen is carried out with the help of the US


According to Fars News Agency’s International Group, two members of the US Congress wrote a note in the Guardian newspaper, while acknowledging that Saudi fighter jets with the help of the US are targeting Yemen with large-scale bombings and have called for an end to this process.

Bernie Sanders, a senior member of the Senate Budget Committee, and Rahit Kana, a member of the US House of Representatives, published the memo in the Guardian on Friday.

“This is a war that the United States has supported and strongly participated in,” they wrote. “It’s time to end this complicity.”

Explaining the situation in Yemen, Sanders and Kana cited a report by Martin Griffiths, the UN’s humanitarian coordinator, as saying: Has set.”

Two members of the US Congress have noted that the United States was one of the main partners in this “terrible war”, first during the presidency of Barack Obama and then during the presidency of Donald Trump.

“But the crisis continues,” Sanders and Kana said, adding that they supported the announcement of a new US administration led by Joe Biden, which said it intended to end support for military offensive operations in Yemen.

According to the two members of Congress, US defense contractors continue to service Saudi aircraft, and the United States has recently approved the pre-sale of new weapons to the Saudis.

The Sanders-Kana memo came after activists from 60 human rights groups called for the revival of a special committee tasked with investigating possible war crimes in the Yemeni war.

“There is a deadly vacuum for accountability in Yemen because Saudi Arabia is the only existing mechanism,” said Ken Roth, a Human Rights Watch activist. [برای تحقیقات] “Has destroyed.”

Roth clarified that Saudi officials, through coercion, coercion and other means, were able to persuade the UN Human Rights Council in October to suspend UN investigations into war crimes in Yemen.

The Guardian reported on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia had launched a concerted effort to investigate human rights abuses in Yemen.

The newspaper stated that Riyadh is trying to prevent this investigation by resorting to a set of measures that include the use of “incentives and threats”.

The Guardian added that some diplomats, politicians and activists have described the Saudi move as a “covert pressure campaign” and said the Saudis were using the move to try to influence officials to ensure a halt to the investigation.

Earlier in October, Saudi Arabia took similar measures to prevent the extension of the UN mission to conduct an independent investigation into war crimes in Yemen.

The report comes as the World Food Program, the UN’s food aid arm and the world’s largest humanitarian body on food security and hunger, announced in late October that Yemenis were severely malnourished and eating leaves. The trees have turned.

Saudi Arabia, at the head of an Arab coalition backed by the United States, has launched a military invasion and siege of Yemen, land, air and sea, since April 26, 2015, claiming that it is trying to bring the resigned Yemeni president back to power.

The Saudi coalition has so far failed to achieve any of its goals by invading Yemen militarily. The move comes as tens of thousands of Yemenis have been killed and injured, millions have been displaced, the country’s infrastructure has been damaged, and famine and disease and infectious diseases have spread.
