Pressure on US to end role in Saudi war on Yemen
These are the headlines we are tracking for you in this episode of On the News Line:
US move to end the war on Yemen
The United States may soon move to end its involvement in a controversial Saudi military campaign in Yemen. Four lawmakers have introduced a bill that would force an end to America's military assistance to the Saudis for a multi-year war that has already claimed thousands of lives. The bill is based on justifications that US lawmakers never approved America's involvement in the war in the first place. The move has gathered a good degree of support at the chamber. It may already be coming a bit too late. It is nonetheless indicative of growing international concerns over the catastrophic conditions that the Saudi war on Yemen has created.
Catalonia independence
Tensions have over the past few months been running high in Spain over the Catalonia region’s new push for secession. Despite pressure, threats of legal action and crackdown on the October first independence referendum bid, declared illegal by Madrid, Catalan authorities did not back out of their commitment to hold the controversial vote. The plebiscite on independence from Spain will definitely resonate beyond the country’s borders as it could give fresh impetus to other secession movements in Europe. Scotland, Belgium's Flanders region and the Faroe Islands controlled by Denmark are some of the places whose authorities have for years have been speaking in favor of a seceding sovereign state. While other European countries are quietly yet closely monitoring developments in Spain, a growing secession trend could deal a further blow to the European Union which is still reeling from Britain’s divorce from the bloc.
