Houthi

SANAA (REPORT) — The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemeni dominant Houthi rebels killed at least 11 women in an airstrike on a funeral house north of the capital Sanaa on Wednesday, a medic and security official said.
Ten others, also women, were critically wounded “when the airstrike hit the funeral in Shira area in Arhab district,” the medic added, saying that the death toll is likely to increase.
The targeted funeral house was completely destroyed and scores of adjacent homes were damaged.

Human Rights Watch has released its 2017 World Report on the current conflict in Yemen.

Human Rights Watch on Thursday called for an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia over the war in Yemen, and said the United States might be complicit in “atrocities” by supplying bombs.

Pentagon still unsure that US ship was attacked off Yemen coast.

What sense does this make? The U.S. is abetting Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco and Sudan–all ruled by Sunni Muslims many of whom despise Shiite Muslims–to attack and roll back advances by the Shiite Houthis of Yemen who are eager to fight al-Qaeda and ISIL in that impoverished, unstable nation.
