    Houthis did not reinstate slavery. The “legitimate” Yemeni government that the Houthis are rebelling against reinstituted slavery

            Why do you assume that the US gov is more trustworthy than the Houthis? After all the horrible shit the US gov has done what will it take for you to stop believing it when it tells you that it’s the good guy and the people it’s fighting are the bad guys.

              First of all, the State Department document is just one of a variety of reports detailing the Houthi reintroduction of slavery.

              Second of all, the fact you can’t actually attack the contents of the report and solely argue I shouldn’t believe it because you, personally, hate America undermines your argument.

              Third, rape and slavery are not pasttimes in America, as they are in Houthi controlled Yemen.
