Opinion: US bombing of Yemen will be a negative on the region

The United States and its Western Allies began bombing Yemen on January 12th of this year. One of the poorest countries in the world, in what the United States called a defensive action against the Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia. The United States’ strategy of bombing nations to suppress terrorist groups has proven to be ineffective in most contemporary bombing campaigns. When the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban would take over the entire country within a year of the United States’ withdrawal. In Libya, the country has descended into multiple civil wars, with no stable governance and various factions competing for power.
