U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power has spoken out against the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen during a U.N. Security Council meeting, saying there is “absolutely no military solution to this conflict.” This comes after at least 60 people were killed Saturday when Saudi-led coalition warplanes bombed a security complex near the Red Sea. Despite Power’s condemnation, the U.S. continues to supply Saudi Arabia with intelligence, airborne fuel tankers and advanced weaponry in the ongoing war in Yemen. This is the U.N. special envoy of the secretary-general for Yemen.

Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed: “We all need to ask: How long will Yemenis remain hostage to personal and reckless political decisions? What are the parties waiting for to sign a political agreement? Have they not understood that there are no winners in wars?”
