Yemen: 'Separatists' Are Just More Proxy Wars
Deutsche Welle breathlessly reports that 'separatists' in Yemen will allow 'Saudi-backed forces' into seized areas. This framing conveniently omits that the Saudi-backed side initiated a brutal war, creating the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Remember when the US, under Biden, approved a $650 million arms sale to Saudi Arabia in 2021, despite its central role in starving Yemeni children?
(Source: Reuters). The media's narrative continually sanitizes a foreign intervention. 'Saudi-backed forces' is code for a de facto occupation, enabled by Western arms. One might wonder if the civilian lives lost to this proxy war count less than 'strategic interests.' How many more starvation alerts will it take for the West to stop arming the perpetrators?
