Welcome to Pushback. I'm Erin Mate. Joining me is Shereen Aladimi, Assistant Professor of Education

at Michigan State University. Shereen, thank you for joining me once again.

Thanks for having me back. I interviewed you about more than a year ago, right after Biden won. And the question was, was Biden

going to end the war in Yemen that he helped start while serving under Obama? And the answer

so far, more than a year later, is a resounding no. Let me ask you first just to respond to the latest

massacre in the town, the northern town of Sada.

The death toll at this point has been increased to more than 90 people hitting a detention facility.

What do we know about what happened?

We know that it was another airstrike on a prison.

This is not the first time the Saudi

that coalition has attacked a prison or migrant detention detention center. Sada is a northern

province that borders Saudi Arabia. So they've actually gotten the worst out of the worst

air strikes out of any other province. It's where the Houthis originate as well.

And so they've basically pummeled that province and continue to these massacres in that

area, whether we hear about it in the news or not.

In this particular attack, there was a fragment that was, you know, Raytheon bomb fragment

that was found in the rubble.

There are just horrendous pictures and videos coming out of that.

People, I mean, literally just body parts and people trying to identify individual human

beings through that.

So it's just an atrocious attack that is significant in the sense that it highlights how much the war has escalated in the last few months.

And this came shortly after the Saudi-led coalition knocked out the internet to virtually the entire country.
