6/3/22 Hassan El-Tayyab: Some Good News on Yemen

Hassan El-Tayyab came back on Antiwar Radio to give an update on the effort to end the war in Yemen. First, Scott and El-Tayyab discuss the last-minute extension of the two-month ceasefire. El-Tayyab reports that airstrikes have stopped completely and crucial fuel supplies have finally been allowed into the country. That said, there has still been some difficulty getting medicine in, although relief teams are working on the issue. They then turn to Congress, where some resolutions invoking the War Powers Act are gaining momentum. El-Tayyab shares some resources that can help you press your representatives to pass legislation that would make this ceasefire permanent. 

Discussed on the show:

• “Yemeni Civil War Unleashes a Plague of Locusts” (Antiwar.com)
• 1-833-STOPWAR

Hassan El-Tayyab is a musician and peace activist, who works as the lead lobbyist on Middle East policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation.
