Conditional US Support to Yemen!

Local Editor

If conditional means thousands of martyred children and millions suffering starvation, what would the unconditional be?

US Military Secretary Jim Mattis blatantly said that US support for the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen is not “unconditional”, as he defended America's ongoing role in the war.

The Pentagon chief's comments came the same day as UN investigators said they had reasonable grounds to believe that the aggression has committed a "substantial number" of violations of humanitarian law that could amount to "war crimes."

The US provides weapons, aerial refueling to jets, intelligence and targeting information to the Saudi-led coalition that is attacking Yemen.

Last week, the UN said two air raids martyred at least 26 children and four women south of Hodeida.

Those deaths came after a coalition attack on a bus in the northern Saada early this month martyred 40 children.

"Our conduct there is to try and keep the human cost of innocents being killed accidentally to the absolute minimum," Mattis told Pentagon reporters. 

"That is our goal where we engage with the coalition."
