Ceasefire in Yemen! Let's make it last

May 10, 2015

First the good news: Saudi Arabia and rebels in Yemen have agreed on a five day ceasefire starting Tuesday to allow badly needed humanitarian aid to reach Yemeni civilians.

Here's the caution: there's no reason for fighting to resume after five days. It wouldn't resolve anything. More civilians would get killed.

Oxfam called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

We put up a petition echoing Oxfam. Right now it's just shy of 5000 signers. Can you help us get to 10000?

Thanks for all you do to help prevent, end, and limit wars,
