Yemen, officially the Republic of Yemen, is a country in Western Asia, south of Saudi Arabia.

The imperialist United States is supporting their Saudi Arabian vassal state in stirring up a bloody proxy war in Yemen that has killed at least 10,000 civilians and left millions homeless.[1][2] In 2011, Obama had an American citizen living in Yemen killed by a drone strike, along with his son and nephew and several other civilians.[3] The United States also killed a 13-year-old boy in 2015 with a drone strike and 30 people, including an 8-year-old girl, in 2017 with a SEAL attack. In 2018, a US-backed Saudi plane bombed a school bus, killing 40 innocent children and injuring 80 more people.
