Protest rally staged in Brussels to demand end to war on Yemen

SANAA, Feb. 06 (YPA) – Several Yemenis in the Belgian capital, Brussels, organized a protest rally calling for ending the war waged by Saudi-led coalition on Yemen.

In the rally, the participants raised banners calling for pressure on the coalition and their supporters to stop the war and return to the dialogue table to bring peace and restore security and stability in the country.

The protesters issued a statement condemning the continued bombing of civilians in Yemen, and listed a statistic of the number of deaths, destruction and humanitarian violations that affected the Yemeni people, its economic capabilities and vital facilities for 7 years of the war.

The statement stressed the need for the European Union countries to stop arms deals to the coalition countries, to fulfill their moral obligations and humanitarian laws and not to contribute to the destruction of Yemen and the killing of Yemenis through these weapons.
