DW Documentary – Yemen: the world looks away | DW Documentary

Yemen has become a humanitarian catastrophe. The country has been devastated by a civil war and Yemen is facing the worst famine in decades. The proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the bitter conflict between Sunnis and Shias, has devastated Yemen and laid the foundations for radicalization and terrorism. Our reporters have been there – a land usually closed off to foreign journalists. Ten thousand fatalities, 300,000 internal displacements and as many as two million refugees – the United Nations says the country is going through its worst humanitarian crisis since the Second World War. And yet, the outside world seems to hear little or nothing about this Middle Eastern conflict. The warring parties have all but sealed the country off. ‘Yemen: The World Looks Away’ offers unprecedented insights into the plight of a country where bombs, battles, famine and disease have ravaged the population. Our reporters traveled from Aden in the south of the country to Sanaa in the north, crossing the frontline that divides them at Tais. They were accompanied by Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, one of the few people who have actually traveled widely within the country. ‘Yemen: The World Looks Away’ portrays a country destroyed by civil war, caught up in the struggles between regional powers and all but ignored by the international community. _______ Exciting, powerful and informative – DW Documentary is always close to current affairs and international events.

The War In Yemen Explained In 200 Seconds
The war in Yemen just marked its second anniversary.
“What war” you may ask given the lack of mainstream media coverage?
Here’s Planet America’s Chas Licciardello to explain how the war is causing one Yemeni child to die of malnutrition every 10 minutes, and what America’s role in the conflict is…

Welcome To Londonistan: 423 New Mosques; 500 Closed Churches
British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism. Muslims do not need to become the majority in the UK; they just need gradually to Islamize the most important cities. The change is already taking place.
British personalities keep opening the door to introducing Islamic sharia law. One of the leading British judges, Sir James Munby, said that Christianity no longer influences the courts and these must be multicultural, which means more Islamic. Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, and Chief Justice Lord Phillips, also suggested that the English law should “incorporate” elements of sharia law.
British universities are also advancing Islamic law. The academic guidelines, “External speakers in higher education institutions”, provide that “orthodox religious groups” may separate men and women during events. At the Queen Mary University of London, women have had to use a separate entrance and were forced to sit in a room without being able to ask questions or raise their hands, just as in Riyadh or Tehran.
“London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together”, according to Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi, one of the Islamic preachers who now lead “Londonistan”, as the journalist Melanie Phillips has called the English capital. No, Rizvi is not a right-wing extremist. Wole Soyinka, a Nobel Laureate for Literature, was less generous; he called the UK “a cesspit for Islamists”.
“Terrorists can not stand London multiculturalism”, London’s mayor Sadiq Khan said after the recent deadly terror attack at Westminster. The opposite is true: British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism. Above all, Londonistan, with its new 423 mosques, is built on the sad ruins of English Christianity.
The Hyatt United Church was bought by the Egyptian community to be converted to a mosque. St Peter’s Church has been converted into the Madina Mosque. The Brick Lane Mosque was built on a former Methodist church. Not only buildings are converted, but also people. The number of converts to Islam has doubled; often they embrace radical Islam, as with Khalid Masood, the terrorist who struck Westminster.
