An entire city has been destroyed, including a historically significant Shiite mosque. (The rebels are Shiites.) The media is prohibited, and the phones are cut off. Electrcity is cut. No oil, food and medical shipments have been allowed in and farmers produce is confescated at checkpoints. Those civilians with means or relatives outside the area have fled. The poorer people have no where to go to avoid the fighting and bombing. Some have gone to the mountains. Others went to Red Cross camps. The regime bombed three camps, by accident. Now the Yemeni Government is mining civilian areas in Yemen. The action demonstrates quite clearly how little regard the Yemeni regime has for its own people. SJTL

I'm sure you are quite mistaken. A few years ago, the Nobel Peace Prize went to a group that was working on a landmine ban.
More to the point, land mines were banned by international treaty.
This article suggests that they are still being used, which would constitute a violation of international law. But if that were the case, we'd hear about it in the press, and the outraged international community would undoubtedly have put the screws to any violator of international norms like that.
Since that hasn't happened, I can only conclude that this story is inaccurate.

Pelosi is learning to diaper her head for fascists. And the MSM has it's collective head up her a$$. Was Dobbs ever significant?
USA, all the way!
