Radio War Nerd EP128—The War On Yemen w/Nasser Arrabyee

What this episode covers

Guest: Nassar Arrabyee, Yemeni journalist & documentary producer Recorded April 5, 2018 The War Nerd talks to Yemeni journalist and documentary producer Nassar Arrabyee from his bomb-damaged home in the capital Sanaa, about the American-backed Saudi-UAE war on his country. Presidents Obama and Trump helped unleash a war that's become the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with over 1 million cholera victims in a deliberate artificial famine — and the western press corps and human rights community seems remarkably uninterested. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels, based largely in the north and west of the country, have made mincemeat of the Saudis. Nassar explains what the war looks and feels like from inside the killing zone, and why the Houthis have broad-based support.  At 58:31, Ames and Brecher discuss the latest in war news: Another Saudi massacre of Yemenis, followed by Yemeni missile strike on Saudi oil tanker . . .  the Novichok Follies . . .
