As far as Yemen is concerned, as far as the truth on Yemen's war is concerned I will not pretend to own reality as my own. What I will do is stand in the only truth there is to have in this war. I will tell Yemen's war from the perspective of a people whose land, sky, lives, hope and dreams have been pounded, hijacked and robbed by powers greater than their own.
I will tell you dear readers of the hypocrisy and lies of those nations you most likely call your own. I will tell of a reality so brutal, and disturbing that few ever dared look sit squarely in the face - never mind take responsibility for.
Yemen is no longer the forgotten conflict of our decade, it is the unspoken shame of our generation! Yemen has become a bleeding and starving euphemism for genocide - the land where men, women, and children have been made to die in.
Comment: Due to the actions of the U.S. and Saudis, Yemen is experiencing mass starvation on a scale last seen in Ethiopa. One in two people - nearly 13 million people are now struggling to find enough to eat, and half of them are on the brink of starvation. The coalition has bombed markets, schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods, killing thousands of Yemeni civilians. These attacks are not isolated cases, but reflect the coalition's overall strategy of indiscriminately dropping bombs with wide-area effect in populated areas.
I realise at this stage in the proverbial game that your views of Yemen, and on Yemen are more than a little bias ... thank you mainstream media for such a well-orchestrated propaganda campaign. With the help of a few well-placed adjectives Yemen's War has been portrayed as a war of democratic restoration against the evil of Shia Islam.
Thanks to the bias of reporters, analysts and commentators, Saudi Arabia has held on to such political righteousness that not even the sight of butchered children could dent its exceptional armour.
