URGENT CALL TO ALL
HUMAN LOVING PEOPLE IN VANCOUVER!
STOP THE NEW WAR BY
UNITED STATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST!



People all around
the world are asking when this inhuman and criminal bombing against
the innocent people of Yemen will be stopped. Since March 19th,
2015, for over two months, Saudi Arabia, backed by the US, has
carried out a brutal and devastating bombing campaign against the
people of Yemen. A short-lived 5-day ceasefire - which Saudi Arabia
never respected - to allow humanitarian aid to reach the Yemeni
people ended last Sunday May 17. It was followed with the prompt
return of Saudi airstrikes bombarding Yemeni cities and
infrastructure, showing that Saudi Arabia and the US are still intent
on continuing the humanitarian crisis, destruction and indiscriminate
killing in Yemen. 




To date, the UN
estimates that 1,850 people have been killed, more than 7,390 injured
and more than half a million displaced since the Saudi Arabian
assault began, however these are conservative estimates and other
sources put these numbers at almost double. Millions of Yemeni people
are suffering from shortages of food, water, fuel and medicines
because of bombing and the air, land and sea blockade.



The U.S. and Saudi
Arabia are not only breaking and undermining international laws but
also are denying the people of Yemen of their self-determination and
sovereignty. Yemen's struggle to determine their own future free of
U.S.-backed regimes is now facing foreign intervention and war.



MAWO encourages all
peace-loving people to join in also demanding:

Iraq!
