YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Even before the Saudiled bombing campaign in Yemen began more than a year ago, Yemen was ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world. But now, a year and a half into the war, Yemen’s health system has broken down, and the population is facing the threat of starvation. For more, we’re joined by Andrew Cockburn, the Washington editor for Harper’s magazine. His latest piece for Harper’s is headlined "Acceptable LossesAiding and Abetting the Saudi Slaughter in Yemen." He is author of "Kill ChainThe Rise of the HighTech Assassins."
