- With the beginning of the New Year 2022, the Yemeni people remember the words of US President Joe Biden, when he used to express his concern and pain for the sufferings of the Yemeni people due to a war that has proved to all people to be an absurd and futile war which has brought nothing but destruction and death to civilians. Biden used always to announce his intention to peacefully resolve this war as one of his most important priorities, which are generally supposed to be accomplished within the first 100 days of the presidential term.
- However, such a seemingly fair and humane political discourse contradicts the truth hidden within the White House’s halls for years, when the unjust war was triggered against Yemen during the presidential term of the Democrats under the pretext of restoring an outgoing president who has neither constitutional legitimacy nor even physical and humane validity.
- The first months of this year were enough to expose the false promises of the Democratic President Biden, as the Yemeni people, as well as observers, did not witness any tangible or effective effort aimed at stopping the military and inhuman aggression through the illegal land, sea and air blockade. In fact, peace initiatives remain to be fleeting media bubbles that burst out propaganda aimed at achieving intended goals through peace talks, which they could not impose through warfare on the battlefield. Their idea of peace means complete and unconditional capitulation and handing over Yemen’s sovereignty to the tyrannical Quadruple Coalition of the unjust war on Yemen, namely; the US, UK, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Such initiatives will never ever be achieved in spite of the great crimes against our beloved Yemeni people who sacrificed tens of thousands of martyrs in order to restore their independence, stability and freedom.
- It has been almost one year since those empty American promises of Biden were announced and the war is still escalating with unprecedented brutality, targeting civilian neighborhoods in the capital city, Sana’a, and other governorates including; Sa’adah, Hodeidah, Hajjah, etc., resulting in its wake in hundreds of causalities within their homes and in public penitentiaries, according to reports by United Nations’ agencies. In addition, the noose of the blockade has been tightened, leading hospitals to ring the alarm due to the lack of petrol and diesel within an ever more stifling fuel crisis.
- The US administration has brazenly and openly exposed itself with unprecedented audacious ugliness in its support of this aggression with all kinds of lethal weapons without considering the victims of this futile war on the ground. The absurd justification for this is to prevent Sana’a government from defending itself against the aggression. Now, it is high time for free voices, especially in the US and UK, to raise their just and humane voices for stopping support to these crimes against Yemen and its people.
