Bushra al-Fusail is a Yemeni-American who lived under the ongoing airstrikes in Yemen for months before coming, ironically, to the country that makes the destruction of hers possible. Far from tucking herself away, she has been working tirelessly both on the streets and in the halls of Congress to raise awareness of the ongoing conflict in Yemen and, perhaps most importantly, of the U.S. role in the death and demolition in her home country. In this special episode, she outlines the reality of war, the backstory of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Yemen, the U.S. role in the war and how we, the people of the U.S., can #RememberYemen and push to end this horrific war.
