Biden ends US support for Yemen war, freezes Germany troop redeployment

by Agence France-Presse President Joe Biden will Thursday announce an end to US military support for the Saudi allies’ devastating war in Yemen in a speech meant to show a reinvigorated focus on diplomacy. Two weeks into his presidency, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris traveled together to the State Department in a show of support for the role of diplomats. “America is back. Diplomacy is back. You are at the center of all that I intend to do,” Biden told a socially distanced auditorium of diplomats ahead of what was billed as his first major foreign policy speech as president. “We’re going rebuild our alliances. We’re going re-engage the world and take on the enormous challenges we face dealing with the pandemic, dealing with global warming and again standing up for democ...

Day of Action for Yemen is Getting Louder

Ragheb Malli* Twitters, Facebookers and Instagramers are being heard across the world. Yemen finally had a day; an International Day of Action. A day where everyone sent tweets and posts filled with united hashtags. The blockade and Saudi-led bombings of Yemen is, according to the UN, the largest humanitarian crisis on Earth. It has killed tens of thousands so far and caused endless destruction. Over half of the population are in famine, facing the world’s severest cholera outbreak in modern history. UNICEF has found that 80% of Yemen’s people are in need of urgent help, including around 12 million children. In addition to one of the most serious COVID mortality rates, where 1 in 4 Yemenis who test positive die, more and more are falling into a non-stop cycle of suffering and dea...

Italian dockers obstruct Saudi’s criminal war on Yemen

Dockworkers in Genoa have given a vital lesson to workers everywhere in how to harness our collective strength. Proletarian writers Dockers have refused to load cannons bound for the Yemen war onto the freighter Bahri Yanbu in the port of Genoa. Many years ago, when the Stop the War Coalition could still pack a hall and communists had not yet been expelled, it held a congress, at which the CPGB-ML proposed a resolution calling on the coalition to lead a campaign of non-cooperation with imperialist wars. The communists pointed out that imperialist wars could only be carried out with the cooperation of workers, and that by collectively withdrawing that cooperation it lay within the power of the organised working class, not simply to protest&nb...

Burying bad news: corona-filled papers ignore Britain’s Yemen invasion

Unreported in British media, British troops have landed in Aden. All that awaits them is the graveyard of imperialist ambitions. Proletarian writers Another air strike in Sanaa on 30 March 2020. Officially by the Saudis, but many have been British bombs, dropped by British planes that are flown by British-trained pilots and maintained in Saudi Arabia by thousands of British contractors. Five years into Riyadh’s imperialist-sponsored war against the Yemeni people, a war conducted with the maximum savagery and cowardice, the corrupt feudal sheikhdom of Saudi Arabia is further than ever from achieving any of its goals – or any of the war aims of its imperialist sponsors in the USA and Britain. The much-loathed and deservedly ousted former president, Abdr...

Fake calls for Covid peace in Yemen

Resistance rejects the strong-arm tactic of ‘dialogue under fire and siege’. Lalkar writers How are the Yemenis supposed to combat coronavirus if Saudi Arabia’s blockade of the country remains in place? “The United Nations security council on Friday [17 April] endorsed the secretary-general’s call for the warring parties in Yemen to immediately stop fighting and focus on reaching a peace agreement and countering the outbreak of the coronavirus. “The UN’s most powerful body welcomed the unilateral, two-week ceasefire announced by the Saudi-led coalition that went into effect 9 April to support the UN-led peace process and secretary-general Antonio Guterres’s call for a truce.” (Security council backs UN chief’s call for Yemen ceasefire, Al-Jazeera, 18 April 2020) Imperi...
