Yemen: reasons for poverty and war

Friday, December 8, 7pm at the Walker Center, 144 Hancock St. in Newton, a short walk from the Riverside Green line of the MBTA. 

Why has Saudi Arabia, the richest Arab country, launched a devastating war against Yemen, the poorest Arab country?  Why has the US been complicit?  What are the external and internal factors and forces that historically have kept Yemen poor and dominated?  

Val Moghadam will address these questions and more in her presentation.  Jean Miller will talk of her visit to Yemen prior to the war.

You must RSVP if you want to attend: marieljm1961@yahoo.com  857 526 2579, donation $10
