The silent war in Yemen is killing an untold number of children

The civil war in Yemen has approached it's third year. Disease and lack of food are claiming more lives. This war is between Houthi militants and a Saudi Arabian led force that supports the former Hadi government. This is a war conducted by silence. The media is not allowed in.  See the second link for faces that prove silence kills.  No one can see the ongoing atrocities of what is being done.

Fortunately Saudi Arabia has had a change in leadership. Money is now being donated to fight the cholera epidemic. Severe malnutrition is killing just as fast as the cholera. As always the weaker and innocent children are the ones who suffer in a war.

I saw a movie when I was much younger. When countries went to war, only the leaders were involved. They were put in an enclosed area to fight it out. The winning country in the war was the last man standing. The point was that if the leaders felt the pain of war, they would try harder to work out the problems in the first place.

Pray for the victims of this war. If you do not pray, keep them in your positive thoughts. Lets us all pray or think positive thoughts about the hand of Allah / God touching the hearts and minds of leaders to stop useless killing of Allah's / Gods greatest handiwork, mankind.

A Muslim friend gave me the following verses from the Quran that I use in my blogging along with others.

But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill  (or destroy) yourselves: for verily God hath been to you Most Merciful! If any do that in rancour and injustice, - soon shall we cast them into the Fire: And easy it is for God. 

(Holy Quran, Chapter 4:29 - 4:30)

"Whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell, to abide therein forever, and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon them, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for them." (Holy Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 93)

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
