A senior NATO official said the United States is a partner in Saudi Arabia's massacres in Yemen, saying it is time for the United States to radically reconsider its policy toward Yemen.
"The horrific images of hungry children in Yemen bring to mind the Ethiopian famine of 1984, which finally sheds light on what was considered the worst humanitarian disaster in the world," said Daniel Spicard, former US ambassador and senior NATO official in an article published by the Washington-based American Washington Inquirer.
"The cause of suffering in Yemen is the Saudi-led coalition, which, with financial support from the United States, launched a indiscriminate bombing campaign that destroyed public infrastructure and killed thousands of civilians. The misery caused by the chaos on the ground led to a cholera epidemic, Million people," Spicard added.
"The prolonged Saudi blockade of Yemeni ports of entry, which has only partially been lifted, despite pressure from the Trump administration, has prevented life-saving assistance from reaching victims of war," the NATO official said.
"Given the US military support for Saudi Arabia, we must recognize that we share some responsibility for this crisis. Our participation not only risks moral authority, but also discovers strategic misjudgment," said Sipicard. "The United States must avoid falling into another war, support a ceasefire, allow safe delivery of humanitarian aid, and work with other world powers."
