March 25-27, 2023 - Days of Action to End the War on Yemen
 
Vancouver action:
SATURDAY March 25
2pm
700 Hamilton Street
Outside the CBC Vancouver
 

March 26, 2023 marks eight years of the brutal Saudi-led war on Yemen. As a result of the Saudi-led war, with the political and military support of the governments of Canada and the US, the United Nations has declared the Yemen war to be “the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.” A staggering 21.6 million people in Yemen require some form of humanitarian assistance in 2023, as 80 percent of the country’s population struggles to access food, safe drinking water and adequate health services.
 
Canada plays a huge role in perpetuating this disastrous war. Canada continues to provide well over $1 billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia and the UAE every year, as well as a $15 billion deal to sell Light Armored Vehicles (LAVs) to Saudi Arabia. In 2020 and 2021 the United Nations panel of experts on Yemen named Canada as one of the states fueling the ongoing war in Yemen.
 
The Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network has called for the March 25-27 days of action to end the war on Yemen, joining peace and antiwar activists protesting world-wide. We join with the people of Yemen who after eight years of war continue to demand their right to self-determination and an end to the Saudi-led war.
