At the last-minute, Trump made the unimaginable
| | | At the last minute, Trump did the unimaginable. With the stroke of a pen, his Secretary of State condemned hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent women, men, and children in Yemen to starvation by making it impossible for life-saving food and medicine to be delivered into the country. Luckily, new President Joe Biden can immediately revert this -- but only if millions of us speak up -- sign now and share this with absolutely everyone: | | | | | Dear friends, | | Trump's cruelty seems to have no bounds. With the stroke of a pen, his Secretary of State has condemned hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent women, men, and children to starvation -- let's not let it happen!
The UN immediately raised the alarm that Trump's decision to designate Northern Yemen's rebel government as a terrorist organization would lead to a "famine not seen in 40 years." This will make it virtually impossible to deliver life-saving food and medicine to a country where almost 80 per cent of the population are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance -- including 12 million children!
All hope rests now with the new US President Joe Biden and new administration. He promised voters that he would end US support for Yemen's war -- and insiders say that a massive rallying cry from all over the world could help push his administration to reverse Trump's deadly final act, and save millions from starvation.
Join now. Share with everyone. Together we can deliver 1 million voices to key figures in Biden's team directly, and through high profile media ads as soon as they take office. | | | | | Yemenis are already living a nightmare. Almost a quarter of a million people have been killed, and the country is on the brink of an historic famine. It's utterly heartbreaking. On top of all this horror, Trump is purposefully blocking crucial supplies to Yemen with this last-minute move, while trying to sell half a billion dollars in arms and munitions to the Saudis, so they can continue bombing Yemen into the ground.
A different approach is urgently needed. The war in Yemen is complicated, with both sides committing war crimes and harming civilians. Ending this conflict will require strategic engagement and real accountability for the war criminals, not blunt inhumane policies that only serve Trump's allies while starving innocent civilians.
Biden said he'll end US support for the war -- let's hold him to his word. Sign now and share with everyone: | | | Avaazers have stood with the people of Yemen for years, funding lawsuits to block deadly arms sales, supporting journalists to get into the country and expose this horror, and pressing governments across the world to end their support for this brutal war. Let's stand up once again and call on Biden to revoke Trump's deadly decision, and open up the real possibility of lasting peace in Yemen.
