US-Backed Saudi Strikes Continue, Just Not on CNN
Saudi Arabia continues its air campaign in Yemen, with The New Arab noting the latest strikes against 'separatist positions.' This, of course, uses US-supplied munitions and with logistical support from Washington, a detail often conveniently omitted from mainstream headlines. While Western networks agonize over humanitarian crises they deem 'newsworthy,' the eight-year-long catastrophe in Yemen,
fueled by coalition forces, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, rarely cracks prime time. We might ask why a US-backed campaign causing one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters merits less attention than a dog whistle tweet. Perhaps it’s because the Pentagon has too many vested interests, and too many politicians accept campaign donations from defense contractors profiting from this war.
The silence isn't just golden; it's made of billions in arms sales.
