US Strike in Yemen: A Call for Justice

Saada, YemenWed Oct 29 2025

April Airstrike Sparks Outrage

In April, a US airstrike targeted a prison in Yemen's Saada province, killing over 60 African migrants held by Houthi rebels. This event has sparked serious concerns, with activists arguing that the strike might be a war crime.

US Targets Houthi Rebels

The US has been targeting Houthi rebels, who have been disrupting shipping in the Red Sea. This is part of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The US claims it is protecting vital trade routes.

Who Are the Victims?

The migrants were already in a tough spot, detained by the Houthis. Now, they have lost their lives in a US strike. This raises big questions about who is really being protected.

US Claims Precision, Reports Show Otherwise

The US claims its strikes are precise and avoid civilian casualties. But reports show otherwise. Many innocent people have died in these attacks, including the migrants in the prison.

Call for Accountability

Activists say the US needs to be held accountable. They want justice for the victims and prevent more civilian deaths. The world is watching. Will the US take responsibility?
