Calls to End Yemen War Renewed after US Senate Bill Failure

Yamanyoon

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.

Saudi Arabia launched a military offensive in Yemen in 2015. Its stated purpose was to root out Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who had taken over the country’s capital, Sana’a, and forced out Saudi-backed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

In recent comments, a minister departing from Hadi’s government said the Saudi-led coalition has deviated from its objectives in the war-torn country.

The sovereign Yemeni decision has been taken away from the people, Salah al-Sayadi said after his resignation on Wednesday, just days after he said that Hadi was under house arrest in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
