At least 57 people, mostly civilians, were killed when US President Donald Trump authorized the use of killer drones against al-Qaeda suspects in Yemen’s southeast last week. Although the US army claims it killed three al-Qaeda operatives, Yemeni people are angry over the civilian casualties of the attack. They accuse the US of pretending to fight terrorists while its ally, Saudi Arabia is recruiting the same people in Yemen. From the Yemeni capital Sana’a Mohammad al-Attab reports.
