Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Yemen: U.S.-Backed Airstrike Kills 9

HeadlineJan 22, 2016

In Yemen, a U.S.-backed, Saudi-led airstrike on an oil facility has killed at least nine people and injured at least 30. The strike comes one day after thousands of Yemeni women marched in the streets of the capital Sana’a to decry the continued U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign. Protester Nada Al Husseini spoke out.

Nada Al Husseini: “We say to the U.N. that over the last 300 days the aggression has continued. Children are getting killed, women are dying, and they have not reacted or done anything for 10 months, nothing.”
