Sanders Calls Saudi-Led War on Yemen ‘Moral Disaster’ for Washington

World

US Senator Bernie Sanders has called the Saudi-led brutal war on the impoverished Yemen a moral disaster for Washington, saying the military aggression has undermined counter-terrorism operations against violent extremists such as the al-Qaeda and the Daesh Takfiri terrorist groups in Yemen.

In an article in The New York Times on Wednesday, the 77-year-old Vermont independent also said the White House must urgently redefine its relationship with Riyadh, considering the brutal murder and likely assassination of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul and the Saudi war on Yemen, Press TV reported.

 “Saudis do not have a blank check to continue violating human rights” said Sanders, adding that their war in Yemen, which started in 2015, has “created a humanitarian disaster in one of the world’s poorest countries.

He also lambasted the involvement of the US in aggression against Yemen as unconstitutional since it has not been authorized by the Congress, calling for an immediate end to the US support for the Saudi war.
