Kerry Visits Saudi Arabia, as U.N. Condemns U.S.-Backed Saudi War in Yemen

HeadlineAug 26, 2016

Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Saudi foreign minister Thursday during a visit to Saudi Arabia, where the two discussed the ongoing U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen. This comes as the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein has called for an independent investigation into the bombing campaign, saying civilians are suffering “unbearably.” In a statement, he wrote: “Such a manifestly, protractedly unjust situation must no longer be tolerated by the international community.” In August, the U.S.-backed Saudi coalition has bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital, killing 19 people, and bombed two schools in northern Yemen, killing at least 14 children.
