In Yemen, thousands of people took to the streets of the capital Sana’a Tuesday to protest the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign, after an airstrike killed 40 people in a market on Saturday. At the march, protester Hamid al-Bakhiti spoke out.

Hamid al-Bakhiti: “This march is a popular expression against the crime that was committed against shoppers in the popular market in Nihm district in northeastern Sana’a that the Saudi-led coalition wanted to declare as a victory.”

Saturday’s airstrike came only two days after the European Parliament called on the European Union to impose an arms embargo against Saudi Arabia, amid increasing accusations the Saudi-led coalition is targeting Yemeni civilians. The Parliament vote comes after 750,000 European citizens signed a petition calling for the suspension of weapon sales to Saudi Arabia.
