7:35 am
sharina. hello. had deal. nice to have you sharing. please introduce yourself to our global audience and tell them your connection to what is going on in yemen right now. please send me. my name is dr. sharina alady me and i was born in yemen out of there for some time when i was a child. i'm an assistant professor in michigan state currently in the us. and since 2015, i've been playing an active role in trying to get my own government here in the united states to and their support or the situation in the warranty. am. thank you for being part of our discussion today. had they'll welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to our viewers. tell them who you are, what you do, and your connection to the conflict in yemen. yet, thank you for me. so, i'm a research fellow with the policy center i joined the past year. and for, for the last year, i have been focusing on my research has been focusing on engaging in the civil society with the peace process as well as, you know, as
7:36 am
a focus on the the wider crisis. so yeah. all right, thank you for that. joining us life and yes, we have a summer, there is a delay before you will hear a summer and he's on the phone because of the connection. i'm sure you will appreciate it. it's difficult to connect with yemen right now, but a summer. welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to our audience. tell them who you are and what you do. go ahead. yes, i am looking to opt out of medication. that's, that is on supplementing violation so much. thank you. all of you gas for being part of our program on youtube. if you've got questions, concerns about what is happening in yemen right now. he's a comment section, put your questions or comments in that. i'll do my best to include them in today
7:37 am
show. i'm not going to move away from youtube and actually start on twitter. as we would prodding this show, have a look here on my laptop. the said she says very simple question, simple and yet complicated. why the thankless killing? serene. what would you say back to fetch g? it is a complicated question, but it is the killing has absolutely been senseless over the last several years. i think if we want to talk about the origins of the war, we can trace it back to him and his desire for a democratic society back in 2011 with the arab spring am and has its own arab spring in january of 2011. which altered and turned into an armed struggle between various groups. but there were a couple of years of hopeful transition when the long time dictator had step down and has interim president time. he was elected in a one man, an election essentially. but he was given this post
7:38 am
a temporary post to try to bring parties of the country together and some kind of unity government at the end of 2014. the hope these took over this is a group that had long standing battles with the former government. and they took over essentially the capitals and it led to civil upheaval and in many parts of yemen. and is essentially in march of 2015 and escalated into an all right, international conflict which we see playing out today when cider ravia formed a coalition of several countries including the u. e. and with full backing and support from the united states and the united kingdom to launch this offensive in yemen. and that led to where we are right now with these forming and shakia lines initially with saw that to push back against this coalition. and now they are essentially on the other the only group left to form some kind of arms struggle against the coalition. and the coalition continuing to mostly use air raids to and
7:39 am
the blockade to try to assert the high, the, the former president, heidi or the internal doesn't have the back to power. so we'll get a very compact explanation of how we got to this place. i deal with saying, hey, on the string today that we are seeing this intensifying will happen in yemen. are you seeing that to what are the sites? yeah, so, so just so answer the question about the why the, to some las killing. and i think the main reason for that is the lack of in the accountability mechanism to, to hold all those actors accountable for their violations of human rights and further work crimes. and that's why every conflict park feels that they are at liberty to, to pursue their own interest regardless of the suffering that they are in place of
7:40 am
on the population. and regarding your 2nd question, unfortunately, the conflict is escalating, especially party this year when, when the most part is moving the complex way be any way by firing this all if i know the air for to be, for example, on other areas. and in retaliation, we're seeing heavy air strike campaigns by default. the way you look coalition on not only the actually, but also on character under the control of both the of which have, you know, which have, you know, the volumes and civilian targets indiscriminately. and so, and all of the developments and the scene are in personally, you know, they are further derailing and are the skills piece processors. so civilians are being impacted and i'd heard and killed from the who the fight is.
7:41 am
and also from the saudi led coalition. i need to make that very, very clear. what i'm about to show you though, is a survivor from an attack on a santa detention center. and a, this man is called mohammed and he's got horrible wounds. i just want you to be ready for this. and he can explain what happened to him. the satellite coalition have not said that they are responsible, they said they would investigate the attack. his mom it fertile. oh, but be with the miss. i hit ward number 3 and i was in ward number to my mates. and i was sitting and chatting about our release from prison and how our cases will stand with the judge and what would happen after we are released. then the plain struck at around 130 or 2 o'clock. suddenly piles of debris were on top of her uncle. the mother called the howl over the little wood. i was trying to free my leg
7:42 am
from under the pillar and the war plain continued to bombard us. i tried, i tried and i removed the debris from under my leg and i got out. i could not help my friends because my leg was broken. i was crying to people for help as the war playing continued to strike and hit the rest of the wards completely. we're gonna be going over on the water bottle. some are you are speaking to us from santa. if we ask you about why the conflict is escalating from your situation in santa, what would you tell us, how would you explain it to us? well, the, be a big harmon, different parts of the country. i, and it's clear i need an indicator for that behavior, the one marquee for their actions, called back because they are impunity on their national community to
7:43 am
ensure accountability for the violations. i'm for i'm, i'm going to be different from the recent military commission on the, in generally my feeling of more, my 100 civilian and more than $200.00 fathers, including women, children, we documented strikes like coronation and you're on that tax id. this is activity for when there is no accountability, the boarding for unity so much for sharing with us a summer. i want to bring him to spoke people, one from the who's the fighters, one from the saudi led coalition. it's ironic that they're both saying the same
7:44 am
things and they're both saying is civilians be where have a look, have a listen for in the heart or just did natalie lab, we renew our warning to citizens residence and companies to stay away from vital headquarters and facilities as they are vulnerable to targeting in the coming period halla for thought, the animal camila athena, into my system, will animate any who these have to reconsider when using civilian locations. because under international humanitarian law, they forfeits immunity for any person or organization that misuses the legal immunity. under the international humanitarian law, the site will not be considered the civilian site, and thus it will be a legitimate military target. to see is that them at how far now it warnings that from both sides of this conflict, but how much carries being taken to look after civilians are showing the stock. i mean, it's preposterous to think that the saudis have had any regard for civilian casualties
7:45 am
in yemen over the last several years there, there was a un report several years ago leaked to report that describe their targeting civilians as indiscriminate and intentional. and so the idea that we are that they have any regard for civilians is mind boggling. and you know, it's just been a threat for the who used to not use civilian places is essentially to say that all civilian places in yemen are going to be targets just as we've seen. we've seen them target prisons in the most common in the most recent air strikes as well as telecommunication centers. there have been targets on schools. there have been targets on mosques and people in their homes, people in moving vehicles. i mean, a coalition that targets and moving school bus full of children knowing that they were, it was a school bus full of children, really has no red lines when it comes to civilian casualties or protecting civilian casualties in any way. early on in the war. they declared the entire government of side that which quarterside arabia a military target,
7:46 am
the entire government with any, with everybody inside this government has been targeted as a military fighter essentially. and you know, whether it's the hokies or the saudis, the civilians are caught in between. and i think the spokesman, who you mentioned, the clip that you showed was perhaps talking about in minority and savvy civilians . but when we look in the toll of civilian cash, cheryl as present a set from a pick up, go ahead. yeah, i agree with what you said about the you know, targeting civilians and civilian targets in an indiscriminate way. or, you know, the targets are proportional to the, to the impacts and civilians. i absolutely agree with that, but i also would like to point out that you know who these are also known for using, you know, need civilian buildings or like you, i,
7:47 am
this is so that was sent or you know, they use schools. they, you is use all of these facilities to further with, or for the military activities, which, you know, and personally, not only, you know, bazillion target danger, but also, you know, the, the surrounding neighborhood, the people who live around those facilities. and we know that these, they are big on using the images or the you know, the images that come after the aftermath of the people dying or they're using batch for their own advantage to kind of show people when you look, this is what the coalition is doing this is how they're feeling. you have any cold bloodedly and what they're doing with that is that they're, you know, they're using that to recruit more people, you know,
7:48 am
and more chosen and battlefield. and that, that has brought that has got to be affected. let me just show you a headline. that is, is it's very disturbing here. this is from out there, adult calm, 2000 children, recruited by humans who faced died fighting that is from the you and, and the number of deaths in yemen from civilians. a most of them are kate's, most of the mature drink a summer. you in yemen right now, i want to bring you into this conversation. we have a number of questions on youtube. off about what is happening yemen. i'm going to ask you very briefly to, to these, if you can, andrew wants to know, why would a prison in santa be targeted i, this is wrong because the address to be, to the the warring parties, to decide that it can be
7:49 am
a attack. they could explain why they targeted this, or that's the case. i think that's a very good point. i have one more question for you before i and that we have a some i have one more question for you. and again, this is from youtube homes wants to know how much support to the who teach enjoy. among ordinary yemenis is a few people in the tree to they are very restricted after the 7 years are connected. when they are doing for their daily needs. the situation to be the economy. no much support to support the why fi?
7:50 am
i won't be there to get my knees. i'm the one box you have documented many incidents where we have committed how the boy parties are vision. okay, i thank you. some of which takes me on to how people are struggling, how ordinary civilians are struggling. maybe they may not even be getting direct. yes hat, but food and access the food is very difficult because because they are being displaced. here is one family story who's been displaced and what food, what food aid is getting to them? have a listen. have a look. loudon. at any cannon, la, dark before we left our city food was affordable. we used to have meat fish chicken while here and everything. there was everything. but now circumstances have imposed this on us. a little fickleness ya had
7:51 am
a ed doolan and so every 2 months to give us a sack and a half of the wheat 2 cans of cooking oil, a bag of salt, a bag of sugar and a bag of lentils. that's it. okay. my adela bus led a family that is getting some fake some earlier we spoke to eliana. she is for the regional communications office of the world food program. and she was just very frank about the situation that they are in have listen, have a look here he is waiting for it to prevent the food security situation from printed interrogation of their biggest challenge now is funding the current funding crunch means we're taking food from the hungry to feed the starting, and since the beginning of a year, out of the $30000000.00 people were assisting, we had to reduce the food. rashana progressions of 8000000 of them is cut us come at the worst possible time for the many people who are dealing with the
7:52 am
consequences of escalation. fighting wi fi urgently means $800000000.00 for the next 6 months to maintain the current level of assistance. charles, good to have you back or with us it back. connected with us on youtube. a very interesting question. why is no saudi or emerald protesting against this destructive pointless war? i mean, i think the question, the question, the answer is obvious to people who live in a democratic society. these are autocratic society, where descent is punished quite heavily. we've all heard about the rich story of the us based journalist, your mouth hush of g a few years ago, who wasn't by the way, anti monarchy or anti savvy monarchy he happen to have different views from the current crown prince. mm hm. it's been sent in mind and we know what happened very well. so the idea that descent is even possible public the centers even possible
7:53 am
with the rest it we've seen in the u. e and the m r. and the and insider is, you know, it's not possible for people to dissent in those societies. i want to bring him in, but i'm going to just preface it a little bit with i'm going to go to you via out to do a correspondent james base. he spoke recently to the u, a. e ambassador to the united nations, just after a couple of things had happened. so one was the who t fighters had attacked of a daddy. 3 people died shortly after that there was an attack on a detention center in sata and over 90 people were killed, mostly civilians. and then james bayes had this moment at the united nations. and i'm really interested in how you unpack, what is happening here. geopolitically. take a look. your defense on the law has to be proportionate. does it
7:54 am
not? and the president of the council, norway, speaking in a national cock capacity, said the attack that took place and saddam was on except to what you have heard to day. and you will know, following the work of the council, that this is rare. what you have heard today is the unanimous condemnation by the security council against the terrorist attack against the united arab emirates on monday, the 17th of january. i'm not asking you about that. i'm asking you about your response and whether it was proportionate given that at least 60 people have died, maybe as many as i'd like to refer you to the coalition statement on that matter. but i also like to affirm here that the coalition undertakes to abide by international law and proportionate response in all its military operations. so i think that her response talking about the united support of the international community through the u. e. and there combination of the cookies on the way as
7:55 am
opposed to how they react to. not only you know, the coalition that fax and the present and thought of it. also, all of the attacks that are happening in yemen, either by the coalition or by the food piece is it's, it's a sign of how the international community is treat him and he's not an in person conflict, not in a parking country. price over the it's being treated as you know, in the backyard of the go see, particularly the ravia. and the problem is that there are in many people advocating for an international arena, not even the government, the international recognize government of yemen is advocating for, you know, for the rights of the money. because it's so basically just fighting with the authorities with the coalition against interest of their own citizens, you know, in the country. so it's, it is, it's frustrating to see the international community react this way. but i,
7:56 am
and i think that, you know, part of why yemen is not getting enough attention of the international arena, because the media doesn't cover much of the conflict in yemen. and also because i feel that you know, the impacts of the war and you haven't, hasn't really reach the, you know, european countries like us say you don't see, for example, refugees knocking on the people in those countries. and so not enough attention being given to the conflict and hence why it's called the forgotten war. to me is that an end in sight for the i'm going to say for the civilians like for protecting the civilians in yemen? is that possible? i think the only possibility for a peaceful, young and we're civilians can live a normal life in yemen is for international parties to exit. this war i have led
7:57 am
through to civil war is in yemen. osama is living through a war right now. maybe he has 2 in yemen, and prior to this war, we have not seen yemen, turn into the world's worst humanitarian crisis. people when they're fighting one another. they don't blockade themselves and prevent food and medicine come and entering their fuel from entering the country. they don't target their heritage side or their, you know, food storage site. so i think the hope that we have is for international coalitions to exit this war so that you have and you can come together and form some kind of coalition. and i mentor, i'm kind of coalition government that will work for them. all right, thinking my input, i'd had dale and osama really appreciate it and for the questions that you also knew chief, thank you for participating in today. shout. i'll see you next time. take everybody ah frank assessments for china as well. banner said from the 0 call it strategy. if
7:58 am
