TopicSaudi Arabia to behead 14 men for protesting

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world-0/us-politics/donald-trump-saudi-arabia-mujtaba-a-al-sweikat-arrest-airport-riyadh-west-michigan-university-a7850226.html

Donald Trump and Theresa May are being urged to intervene in the case of a Saudi Arabian student who won a place at a US university but faces beheading for protesting against the government in the gulf state.

Mujtaba’a al-Sweikat was due to start studying at Western Michigan University but was arrested in 2012 at a Saudi airport as he was about to fly to the US, aged just 17.

He was part of a group of 14 young men arrested for attending pro-democracy protests in the ultra-conservative kingdom, which has one of the worst human rights records in the world and is believed to have executed 57 people so far this year.

According to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the men confessed to crimes under torture and were put on death row after more than two and a half years of pre-trial detention. Many have since retracted their confessions.

The UK charity Reprieve understands that one of the condemned men is half-deaf and partially blind.

Mr Al-Sweikat was tried in June 2016 and sentenced to death by beheading, with the verdict upheld on 25 May this year, according to the US teachers’ union the American Federation of Teachers.

The student has been locked up for the past five years in the eastern city of Dammam, but was recently moved to the capital Riyadh where executions are carried out, along with the other 13 men.

Saudi Arabia uses methods including beheading, stoning and crucifixion to execute its citizens for crimes, including adultery, in the strict Islamic country. Beheadings often take place in public squares where the headless corpses are later put on display.

The GOPs problem is they have an entire generation of members and lawmakers who don't know actually how to govern.

On the contrary I think they've used their power really well, stocking the judiciary with their fellow conservatives, getting Garland on the Supreme Court, stifling Obama to a level that was not really ever seen before. They've spent the past six years maximizing what they could do without the executive branch. And on the state level, they know right where the power is; the first thing they do whenever they get power in a state is go after unions and voting rights. Even with the dysfunction of Trump, they've gone about gutting environmental and financial regulations at the federal level, reinstated the global gag rule...

The fact that their healthcare policy is deeply, deeply unpopular and their thin majority can't all agree on it is not reflective of an inability to govern.

I mean, conservatism as an ideology has always been shaped in reaction to liberals and the left. That being said, I think this overlooks the real policy goals held by conservatives. Is wanting to outlaw abortion just kneejerk reaction to the left? Is pushing to continue and escalate the war on drugs simple opposition? And don't forget the tax cuts.

TopicCholera outbreak pushes Yemen to brink of catastrophe
Antifar
07/20/17 5:45:38 PM

http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-global-yemen-cholera-20170712-story.html

A cholera outbreak in Yemen that has infected more than 300,000 people and caused more than 1,700 deaths in the last few months is propelling the war-ravaged nation to the brink of catastrophe, health and humanitarian officials say.

Security concerns amid a severe shortage of safe drinking water are limiting what can be done to help fight the often-fatal bacterial disease, which causes severe vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration.

The World Health Organization said this week issues related to security and other challenges caused it to suspend plans to deliver doses of the oral cholera vaccine to Yemen. In addition, officials said that because so much of the country has been exposed to the disease, providing clean water may be a more effective path to helping people.

The nation’s Ministry of Health, in consultation with the WHO and other partners, decided to focus less on vaccines and instead on helping people access clean water.

“The situation has evolved so rapidly that vaccines are not the priority tool to use now,” Fadela Chaib, a spokeswoman for the Geneva-based WHO said in an email Wednesday.

“The main challenge remains identifying and reaching the areas and the people where the cholera outbreak has not yet fully emerged,” she said. “Vaccinating during an ongoing outbreak is not advised.”

Chaib acknowledged that the “security, logistical and also political challenges are immense” but said that the destinations to which the vaccines might be rerouted were still under discussion.

The outbreak started last fall, accelerated in April, and in June, the WHO declared that Yemen was facing “the worst cholera outbreak in the world.”

The estimated 313,538 suspected cholera cases in the country means that 1 in 86 Yemenis is suspected of having the disease, said Iolanda Jaquemet, a spokeswoman for the Near East and Middle East regions at International Committee of the Red Cross.

In a typical cholera outbreak, about 20% of the cases would be considered severe, meaning they would need an aggressive medical response, Jacquemet said. In Yemen, 40% of cases are severe.

Cholera is endemic in Yemen, where there was an outbreak during the last six months of 2016. About 26,000 cases were reported and 112 people died, Jaquemet said.
...
Two years of conflict between pro-government forces and the predominantly Shiite Muslim Houthi rebels have laid the groundwork for unhealthy conditions, aid workers said.

Before the war, Yemen was already the poorest country in the Arab world. It relied on imports of food, medicine, fuel and aid to survive. With the war, less than half the imports are flowing in, including less than one-third of all medicines.

According to Jacquemet, civil servants including doctors in public hospitals and clinics and municipal workers charged with tasks such as trash disposal have not been paid since at least late last summer. Heaps of garbage cover streets.

Many shopkeepers have had to close their stores because of lack of business and farmers can’t till their field because of bombings. Only 45% of healthcare structures, such as pharmacies and hospitals, are still operational, aid workers said.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has documented at least 160 attacks against such structures. Electricity and fuel are scarce and, according to the United Nations, at least 16 million people do not have access to clean water.
