THREAD: 1/ I know there's a lot coming at you right now, but please please please pay attention to a pivotal moment in Yemen, the world's worst humanitarian disaster (1m cases of cholera - CHOLERA), caused largely by a U.S. funded nonsensical bombing campaign.
2/ Saudis/UAE launched attack on Hudaydah, the humanitarian port in Yemen. Long siege of this port could make existing famine look like child's play. U.S. is still helping with assault, despite universal opposition from humanitarian groups.
3/ U.S. told Saudis/UAE is would be difficult, they didn't listen. Now they are bogged down, and seeking a pause/way out. Houthis (who don't have clean hands in this war) are willing to have UN come in an administer the port.
4/ Now U.S. must press Saudis/UAE to agree to UN administration of port, and end to bombing campaign. Trump team shows no signs of pushing Saudis/UAE at the negotiating table, but this is the key moment.
5/ Be loud: tell Congress that U.S. needs to cut of support for the Yemen bombing campaign if Saudis/UAE abandons diplomacy and restarts assault on humanitarian port of Hudaydah. Now is the moment to push our leverage to save the Yemeni people.
