This war has killed almost a quarter of a million people, and Yemen today remains the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Despite this devastation, despite well-documented evidence of continuing violations of laws of war by the Saudi-led coalition, and despite documentation of the use of Canadian weapons in the war, Canada has continued fuelling the ongoing war in Yemen by continuing arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Canada exported nearly $2.9-billion worth of military equipment to Saudi Arabia in 2019 alone. So why has Canada continued to send weapons to Saudi Arabia? Join us online on Saturday May 29 to hear from experts from Yemen, Canada and the U.S — academics, organizers, and those who have felt the impact of a bomb destroying their house in Yemen. https://actionnetwork.org/events/why-is-canada-arming-saudi-arabias-war-in-yemen
