Fighting continues in Yemeni city despite truce, 10 killed

[News Manager]

At least 10 people were killed in heavy clashes in Yemen on Friday despite a five-day humanitarian truce, while aid distribution to the millions deprived of food, fuel and medicine by weeks of fighting and air strikes continued. Saudi Arabia, leading a coalition of Arab states backed by the West, has pounded Iranian-allied Houthi forces and fighters loyal to Yemen's former leader since March 26, aiming to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The ceasefire, which began on Tuesday, appeared to be mostly holding on Friday despite heavy ground fighting between local militiamen and the Houthis in the city of Taiz, residents said. Meanwhile, tribal sources said on Friday Houthi fighters have withdrawn from the border area between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Blame the "Government of the people,by the people and for the people" that allowed and supported the U.S. policy of toppling governments, propping up dictators, starting wars, plundering, killing, and torturing the people of the Middle East. WE the people do not even bother to vote, remain silent, are complicate in all of this, though it is convenient to blame the "Government" WE will be held to account.
