Bernie Sanders: We Must Stop Helping Saudi Arabia in Yemen

Congress needs to step in to end our complicity in the kingdom’s human rights abuses.

By Bernie Sanders

October 26, 2018 "Information Clearing House" -  The likely assassination of the Saudi critic and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi underscores how urgent it has become for the United States to redefine our relationship with Saudi Arabia, and to show that the Saudis do not have a blank check to continue violating human rights.

One place we can start is by ending United States support for the war in Yemen. Not only has this war created a humanitarian disaster in one of the world’s poorest countries, but also American involvement in this war has not been authorized by Congress and is therefore unconstitutional.
