Calls to End Yemen War Renewed after US Senate Bill Failure

Human rights advocates and Yemeni activists are voicing their frustration after a US Senate resolution to end the United States' involvement in the destructive and deadly war in Yemen was rejected.


The Senate voted 55-44 on Tuesday against the motion, which called for an end to US military aid to Saudi-led coalition forces fighting in Yemen that had not been directly approved by Congress.

The motion stated the US has provided Saudi-led forces with "aerial targeting assistance, intelligence sharing, and mid-flight aerial refueling", and assistance in aerial targeting and the coordination of military and intelligence activities, according to Al Jazeera.
