U. S. Department of State
Stanly JohnyStanly Johny

Why the international community is not interested in #Yemen? Has the US State Department called the seven-year-long bombing of the the poorest Arab country a genocide? Has the French or British parliament passed any resolution yet? Is the EU considering any sanctions?
