Currently in Yemen Shiite rebels are fighting against an army filled with a host of members from other Arab countries and soldiers loyal to the displaced Sunni president. In the city of Aden there has been intense fighting and airstrikes for the past two weeks. The International Red Cross said that supplies need to be provided for the injured citizens because their injuries are so critical it needs to be treated within hours. Russia submitted a draft calling for a halt to the airstrikes but the UN meeting adjourned with no resolution. Right now in Yemen, according to the UN, 519 people have been killed and 1700 people have been wounded.
. I think that the fact that there hasn't been a resolution to the talks calling for a cease-fire is unacceptable. An anonymous diplomat said that the draft was missing key elements. My question is why are the lives of your people worth less to you then defeating the rebel Shiites. I wonder if your people would be happy or proud once the war is over, because at the rate this warfare is going there will be many more people killed and more destruction all across Yemen. The first goal of a leader in my opinion is to ensure the safety of your people and then try to further your political goals.
