On November 14, the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives blocked a resolution that its supporters say would end U.S. participation in the war and famine in Yemen. It is unclear, however, what effect this resolution would have on the ground even if it were passed into law. It imposes no limits on arms sales to Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates. It does not propose any oversight or limitation of activities CIA or of private contractors from the U.S. in Yemen.

To the country’s north, thousands of residents of four provinces — including Amran, al Mahweet, Thamar, and Sana’a — filled the streets of the capital Sana’a in Bab al-Yemen, carrying placards and Yemeni national flags and chanting slogans condemning the blockade and economic war against the country.
