Yemeni American Activists on Hunger Strike to Call for End of U.S.-Backed, Saudi-Led War on Yemen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., six Yemeni American activists have been on hunger
strike for nine days, protesting the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war and
blockade that have crippled Yemen's economy and created the world's
worst humanitarian disaster. The hunger strikers, who are members of the
grassroots group Yemeni Liberation Movement, are demanding an end to all
U.S. support for the blockade and for President Biden to pressure Saudi
Arabia to end the war.
