UNHRC Yemen Inquiry is Doomed to Fail Magnanimously

NOVANEWS By Salman Rafi Sheikh | New Eastern Outlook The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) seems to have finally awakened up to the brazen human rights violations that the Saudia led Arab coalition forces have been blamed to have committed in the conflict in Yemen that has been going on for more than two years now, and has consumed thousands of lives, and destroyed the country, its polity and economy alike.

House GOP Seeks to Curb Yemen War

NOVANEWS By Dennis J Bernstein | Consortium News  Republicans are taking the lead in blocking U.S. participation in the Saudi slaughter in Yemen, which has plunged that country to the brink of starvation and sparked a cholera epidemic.

The key amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act — prohibiting U.S. military support for the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing of Yemen — was sponsored by Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio. Though the amendment gained bipartisan support — and another restrictive amendment was sponsored by Rep. Dick Nolan, D-Minnesota — the Republican leadership on this issue reflects the changing places in which Democrats have become the m...

Stop The War on Yemen ! (Poster)

Stop Arming Saudi Arabia Stop the Saudi-led war on Yemen that kills civilians and destroys the country infrastructure violating all Human Rights. Britain is breaking national and international law by selling arms to the Saudis (one of the most dictatorial regimes on Earth which even beheads more people than Isis). The UK government is also providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia in its savage bombing of Yemen. This meeting will discuss the war and Britain's appalling and relatively covert role in it.               Like Our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/shoahph.com
