THE current bombing of Yemen is anything but new — the bombing of Yemen, colonised by Britain until 1967, has occurred in at least 15 of the last 100 years.
This number does not include the period from 2014, when the ground crews of Britain’s RAF were embedded with the Saudi air force, as it bombed hospitals, funerals and food stores as part of the Saudi-led, US-backed, war on Yemen, compounding the violence and famine inflicted on innocent civilians.
According to the UN, the direct violence of bombs — many of them made and supplied by Britain — and bullets killed more than 150,000 people, while almost a quarter of a million were killed by hunger and disease, 11,000 or more of them children.
