Saudi Arabia and the UAE are leading a military coalition that is laying siege to Yemen. And as both countries continue to wage war there, humanitarian assistance for Yemen has come to a standstill, even though this is the nation's most dire time of need. #YemenCantWait [THREAD]

"The president has made peace more elusive. He used 5/8 vetoes to protect a #Saudi-led intervention in #Yemen, weapons sales to the kingdom and its allies, and his own power to wage war with #Iran, @HassanElTayyab of @FCNL noted." @HuffPost @AkbarSAhmed huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…

Before you get all teary eyed about @realDonaldTrump being the #endendlesswars candidate, STOP! 5/8 of his vetoes so far have been #bipartisan bills to end #US support for war in #Yemen, block #Saudi & #UAE weapons sales, and prevent war with #Iran. What else do you need to know?

Innocent civilians, not governments, are the main victims of economic #sanctions. Broad based economic sanctions are said to be a more humane option to achieve Foreign Policy objectives than #war. But the reality is that sanctions kill innocent people everyday! #SanctionsKill

"[H]ealth, sanitation and nutrition services that keep millions from starvation and disease are gradually closing amid an acute funding shortage for the world’s largest humanitarian crisis." Congress must restore @USAID funding to Yemen! #YemenCantWait uk.reuters.com/article/uk-yem…

This is powerful. Let's all be like Ahmed al-Babati and work this hard to end our collective complicity in the #Saudi-led war on #Yemen. Ahmed blows a whistle every 10 minutes to represent how often a Yemeni child dies and let his govt know #YemenCantWait! theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/a…

@okooboh_ose notes that he US is often quick to make accusations about other countries’ violations of international law but refuses to hold itself to the same standards. responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/08/26/the… 10/

@FCNLworld @FCNL That's really too bad. This was a good account.

Another embarrassment for the US post pulling out of the #IranDeal. Insisting on #snapback sanctions on #Iran further erodes US credibility and shows Trump has no interest in slowing Iran's nuclear program. We need actual diplomacy, not war and sanctions. theguardian.com/world/2020/aug…

President Keïta of #Mali resigned Tuesday night after being ousted by a group of mutinying soldiers. @_AfricanUnion regional leaders as well as the @UN have condemned the coup. The group of soldiers claim that they want to schedule new elections soon. bbc.com/news/world-afr…

After 100 days @EsperDoD still has not answered the questions of 107 members of Congress, led by @SenatorLeahy @RepMcGovern, in a letter to @DeptofDefense on US #landmine policy As people of faith @FCNL supports the @MineBanTreaty and a #MineFreeWorld fcnl.org/updates/100-da…

Today @banminesusa asked why @DeptofDefense won't answer Congressional questions on new US #landmine policy twitter.com/banminesusa/st… Today 2 civilians died + a child wounded when a landmine exploded in #Idlib farmland sn4hr.org/sites/news/202…

From Switzerland to South Korea, democracies around the world have urged mail-in voting during #COVID19. The President's hostile actions against mail-in voting poses a threat to peace here at home as well as to our peacebuilding advocacy around the globe washingtonpost.com/world/2020/08/…
