Yemen's Manufactured Famine: The 'Food Crisis' Al Jazeera Won't Fully Attribute
📰 THE STORY: Al Jazeera, citing an aid group from an unspecified future date (January 19, 2026), warns of Yemen facing its worst food crisis since 2022 due to aid cuts, ongoing conflict, and economic collapse, pushing millions towards severe hunger. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The current 'food crisis' is not a sudden emergence but the deliberate and sustained outcome of
a Saudi-led coalition's military intervention launched in March 2015, heavily supported by the US and UK. This intervention, which included an air, land, and sea blockade, decimated Yemen's infrastructure, targeted food production, and strangled aid delivery. In 2016, a UN report confirmed the coalition had deliberately targeted agricultural infrastructure and food markets, creating famine as a
weapon of war. Double Standard: When Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to food shortages (often attributed to the conflict directly), Western media universally condemned it as a war crime. Yet, for nearly a decade, the US and UK have provided weapons, logistical support, and political cover for Saudi Arabia and the UAE's campaign in Yemen, which directly created the world's worst humanitarian
crisis, including widespread famine. No 'aid group warns' passive voice, but direct accusation and sanctions for Russia. Here? A soft-pedaled warning about 'aid cuts' and 'economic collapse' as if they appeared from thin air. Follow the Money: Since 2015, the US alone has sold Saudi Arabia more than $50 billion in weapons, enabling the very blockade and bombing that caused this 'food crisis.'
