#WR: Yemen’s crime: Can we avoid to say “mea culpa”? Part 1. Yesterday, the columnist Nicholas #Kristof wrote in @NYTimes
“ This Is What Our Yemen Policy Looks Like” illustrating his note w/ a
photo of Abrar Ibrahim, a 12-year-old girl of Yemen who weighs just 28
pounds. #Yemen
#WR: Yemen’s crime: Can we avoid to say “mea culpa”? Part 2. #Kristof
writes “Abrar is starving in part as consequence of the American-backed
Saudi Arabian war in Yemen. Members of the US Congress are considering
measures that would end our country’s support for the war.” #Yemen
#WR: Yemen’s crime: Can we avoid to say “mea culpa”? Part 3. Nicholas #Kristof
adds “…the reality that United States policies are contributing to the
deaths of children in Yemen by the tens of thousands.” By the way, @BBC and others also are talking about this tragedy. #YemenWar
#WR: Yemen’s crime: Can we avoid to says “mea culpa”? Part 4. #Kristof
continues “Saudi and American officials say that the enemy, the Houthi
rebels who govern much of the country are oppressive and backed by Iran.
That’s true.” But can we justify the starving of children? #Yemen
#WR: Yemen’s crime: Can we avoid to says “mea culpa”? Part 5. The story of Nicholas #Kristof
is not a fantasy. He wrote from Aden, Yemen. Now, we have to hope our
lawmakers find the way to stop our support to the war and also the
“path” to reverse this human tragedy. #YemenWar
