Yemen War: Ceasefire takes effect in Hudaydah after skirmishes



The war in Yemen has been raging since 2015, with an estimated 85,000 children dying from famine, and 14 million people at the brink of starvation. In addition, 22.2 million (75% of Yemen population) needs humanitarian support. The war in Yemen is apart of the larger Middle Eastern conflict of Saudi Arabia vs. Iran, with Yemen civilians stuck in the middle of this proxy war.

1. Do you think the United States will stop selling military arms to Saudi Arabia, like countries around the world has begun? If so, do you think they would've stopped because of the war in Yemen, or because of the death of Jamal Khashogg?

2. Do you think this ceasefire will last? Do you think peace is obtainable?

3.  If you were the U.S. President, how would you deal with this crisis?
