FOR WHAT IT´S WORTH

 

The humanitarian crisis in Yemen (2015 – ) has grown to a disproportionate size and situation in the country has become intolerable. Also the situation in South – Sudan needs immediate help.  If there is anything good left in the field of international diplomacy; now is time to show it.

The EU, USA, China and Russia should work together in the UN Secretary Council and immediately declare a No Fly – Zone in Yemen (and, if necessary) consider one in also to South – Sudan. The superpowers have the capacity to develop the needed logistics and – in order to deliver the aid in proper manner – also the required military muscles to force the opposite sides in Yemen and South – Sudan to peace – or at least to an armistice.

 

If the superpowers act now, in unity, millions of human lives can still be saved but time is running short – and fast! https://www.msn.com/…/yemen-food-aid-at-risk-of-…/ar-BBTtcS3

The UNSC – for what it´s worth – should finally show it has some kind of ability to co-operate unanimously and – despite the disagreements in the past – settle their differences for a second.

 

 

 

 

 

This is no time for international intellectual dishonesty or a political chess game because millions of lives are in stake.

It´s time to act now before it´s too late.

 

The cries of innocent people have reached the skies.

 

AND – MARK MY WORDS – WITH GREAT POWER COMES A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

 

If the US – together with the other superpowers – only would use its diplomatic influence in the situation (especially to the Saudi´s) it could make a whole lot of difference in the area.

 

IF the UNSC can´t even in this kind of a situation work unanimously, then one can only ask; what It´s worth, then?

 

If the international community could only at least this once put their disagreements behind and act in unity it would mean the worlds to the suffering Yemenis people.

 

DREAM BIG – ACT NOW! #SavetheyemeneseNOW!
