The last United Nations-brokered truce in Yemen ended in October of 2022. While there have not been significant airstrikes or major military offensives since the truce began in April 2022, the warring parties—including Houthi forces, the Yemeni government, and the Saudi- and United Arab Emirates (UAE)-led coalition—have continued to commit serious international human rights and humanitarian law violations in Yemen.
Violations include unlawful attacks that have killed civilians; restrictions on freedom of movement and humanitarian access to and from Taizz, Yemen’s third-largest city; arbitrary detentions; and forced internal displacement. Saudi border guards have carried out mass killings of Ethiopian migrants at the Yemeni border, which may amount to crimes against humanity.

This is by far one of the worst conflicts that has been happening for many years, and its still very much ongoing, yet little to none is reported by press. Over the many years Yeman has been ignored by our media.
A place that has seen hundreds of thousands killed, Saudi Aribia and the coalition get their "weapons" mainly from UK and other countries and yet not one big protest has happened.
Just makes you think, or it should make you think, why does one conflict get news coverage and why does another worse conflict get mainly ignored? Why do people take to the streets to protest one conflict while a worse conflict gets ignored? Why do students take a stance about their government supplying another with weapons that are used in a conflict and demand a boycott while they same students have ignored what happens to another countries civilians?
@ecksmc
Dude. 😳 💔
I don't know.
Are there no billionaires who care about Yemen like they care about Gaza?
I think it boils down to money.
@janallmac only thing most billionaires care about is money - imo its media manipulation that cause it
Turn on any news channel you'll get coverage of Gaza Israel war, Iran and Lebanon also, go to any media news site its probably the first thing you'll see - this has been ongoing since start - now you have to ask yourself who are they journalists and ask yourself what do they actually believe, do they have an agenda? Again imo most journalists do have some sorta hidden agenda
@janallmac as for money billionaires profit from wars << most will find a way to make money >> reporting a thing means no money(for some)
So, I wouldn't say its about money in that regard
Now billionaires, some, will no doubt have shares in the weapons companies and MPs < less reporting less backlash = more cash (if they own shares in they companies that is)
Money plays a silent roll in wars/conflict mostly
Gaza and Israel war is an information war and hamas knew it controlled that part
@janallmac Israel doesn't depend on UK as much for weapons as UAE does - so the billionaires that own media companies they dont mind as much about reporting on Gaza and Israel war
Again just my opinion - now say they billionaires also have shares in the uk weapons market reporting on what's been happening in Yemen could see an decrease of weapons being purchased by UAE as well as backlash from people like we see happening against Israel
