I am amused that the journalist is getting such coverage and the ordinary people of Yemen are being starved to death. It has been...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Foreign Conflicts (18 Oct 2018)

Mick Wallace: The control of the story of Yemen and the spin surrounding it are scary. Our own State broadcaster, RTÉ, cannot mention the Houthis without saying "Iranian-backed Houthis" despite the fact that it has no evidence of this. I have not seen anyone else produce such evidence either. The Houthis robbed most of their ammunition and guns from former President Ali Abdullah Saleh's government...
