For 18 months a Saudi Arabian led coalition backed by the United States and their imperialist allies has been bombarding the people of Yemen. The brutality of their attacks grows daily. On October Saudi Arabia launched a deadly airstrike on a funeral, killing 142 people and injuring over 500. The Saudi-led coalition has also imposed a devastating air, land and sea blockade on Yemen.

These attacks have killed at least 10,000 people since they began in March of 2015. The people of Yemen are not only living under constant bombing, but have also been denied access to food, water and medicines. The World Food Program has declared that nine provinces in Yemen are on the brink of famine. At least 3 million people have been internally displaced.

However, despite these bloody attacks, imperialist governments continue to support the Saudi-led coalition, as well as sell deadly military weaponry to Saudi Arabia. This includes the government of Canada, which has a $15billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia for the sale of heavily armoured military vehicles.

As part of internationally coordinated days of action, Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) in Vancouver is joining with people around the world to call attention to the horrific atrocities in Yemen. We invite all peace-loving people to join and demand loud and clear:

U.S./SAUDI ARABIA HANDS OFF YEMEN!
Stop Bombing Yemen!
No to Canada's Arms Deal with Saudi Arabia!
