A Mission of Salvation for Yemen - Earth Rainbow Network

A Mission of Salvation for Yemen

Dear Soul

As you may know – or remember – when the Global Meditation Focus Group was founded in
April 2000, its core goal was to "focalize the attention and healing energies of a growing number
of meditators around the world onto situations and crises in need of peaceful resolution and
spiritual succour." Over the years, the Work we have collectively done has evolved to become
more focused onto BEing the radiant beings of Love we fundamentally are as souls living a
physical experience on this exquisitely wonderful planet Earth.

I've been strongly prompted to revive – at least on this one occasion, for the following urgent
crisis – the initial goal of this global group of benevolent souls, and I would like to offer you the
opportunity to make yours this inner urge and associate yourself with others experiencing the
same desire to be of assistance at this hour of the greatest need. Despite the numerous crisis
affecting our world, many of them being driven by the unrelenting degradation of our fragile and
yet so vital ecosystems, there is one that is requiring both our immediate attention and our
diligent healing energies: the plight of the long suffering souls now embodied in Yemen.

As you most likely have heard or read, millions of people are at great risk of perishing from
starvation because of the unrelenting war opposing various forces embroiled into a vicious spiral
of violence, with apparently no end in sight. Until recently, relatively few people in the Western
world were even remotely aware of this conflict and of its terrible human toll. But because of a
conjunction of external events - mainly the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi – and of
ever more strident warning calls from U.N. spokespersons, a rare window of opportunity has
recenty opened onto a potential string of events that could lead to a lessening of the humanitarian
crisis in Yemen, and thus to the survival of millions of human beings who, otherwise, will
succomb to famine in the coming weeks and months.

This is what's before us, something about which we CAN – together !! – do something. But this
current opening towards a possibility of positive changes in Yemen is unlikely to last very long.
If we seize this moment and weigh in spiritually, as a collective of souls of Goodwill joining
forces and showering the redeeming power of Love towards at least a truce in this conflict long
enough for the armies of humanitarian workers standing at the ready to deliver food and succour
to the most suffering souls, especially the millions of innocent children currently being sacrificed
on the bloody altar of merciless belligerence, then we will likely see the salvation from the
mauling jaws of death of millions of our brothers and sisters of this – our – human family.

Every life is precious in the eyes of Creator Source living and breathing through us all. Every
single strand of Life on Earth is connected to all others. We each are the Web of Life and
because, as such, we do want to care for each other, we can and do have a powerful influence
towards making seemingly miraculous changes happen. I plead with you to please inwardly
listen to the Source in you and feel that indeed, as One with All That Is, we can immeasurably
help create the conditions in Yemen that will make a huge positive differences in the lives of
countless souls there.

This is the Mission that is being entrusted to us...

• Let us unite in heartfelt meditation in about 48 hours, this coming Sunday November 25, for a
duration of approximately one hour, at the usual local time for the weekly meditation, which is,
globally, set at 16:00 UT/GMT — currently corresponding to 11 am on the East Coast of North
America, to 8 am on the West Coast, to 16:00 in London and to 17:00 in most of Europe – for
other time zones, please check at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?
day=25&month=11&year=2018&hour=16&min=00&sec=0&p1=0amp;p1=0.

• Let us BE the Light we came here to be, so as to shepherd the parties involved in this conflict
towards the promised Land of Peace, Love and Harmony all humanity will one day experience,
once we have co-created it, starting with Yemen and all the souls involved up close or from afar
in feeding the devouring flames of this cauldron of violence and hatred, feeling as we be so the
emergence of the true benevolence and Love that is at the shining heart of every existing soul in
this Living, sacred Universe.

• Let us BE the instruments of Thy Will.

conditions are made possible.

Almost 85,000 children under five may have starved to death in Yemen, charity warns as fighting
flares in Hodeidah
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/yemen-war-latest-news-starving-save-
the-children-yemeni-famine-a8643906.html
As many as 85,000 children have starved to death in Yemen, according to Save the Children with
the charity warning that up to 14 million people are at risk of famine if a ruinous war does
not end soon.

(…) The charity warned that the number of cases has dramatically increased since a Saudi Arabia
led coalition imposed a blockade on the impoverished country a year ago.

(…) Over two-thirds of the population now rely on aid to survive. According to the United
Nations, 400,000 children are on the cusp of dying from hunger, 15,000 more than last year.

Dispatch from Yemen - Tackling the world’s largest humanitarian crisis
https://unocha.exposure.co/dispatch-from-yemen

(…) If a famine takes hold in Yemen, it will be “much bigger than anything any
professional in this field has seen during their working lives,” the top UN humanitarian
official, Mark Lowcock, warned the UN Security Council in October. This economic crisis is the
main reason why the risk of famine is now growing. Since September, the Yemeni currency has
depreciated by 20 per cent – bringing total depreciation over the past year to nearly 50 per cent.
Because Yemen imports 90 per cent of its staple food and nearly all fuel and medicine, prices
have soared. Food is more than twice as expensive since the crisis started. Very few Yemenis
have any source of income, meaning many can’t cope with the price hikes. Since 2015, the
economy has shrunk by half, and more than 80 per cent of Yemenis now live below the poverty
line. If current trends continue, the total number of people facing pre-famine conditions could
rise to 14 million – or half the country’s population. The fierce battle for Hudaydah, which
escalated in June 2018, is also bringing Yemen closer to the brink. Most of Yemen’s imports

come through Hudaydah and nearby Saleef ports. Millions of people depend on these ports for
the goods they need to survive, and keeping them open and operational is essential. Roads and
civilian infrastructure must also remain open and safe for travel so essential goods can reach
markets across the country.

Given the scope of the needs, relief agencies have had to ramp up operations in Yemen. In Aden
alone, the World Food Programme (WFP) has warehouses with capacity to store up to 30,000
tons of food. Supplies ranging from flour bags to rapid response rations are unloaded, stocked
and finally dispatched all over the country. This process is repeated in other warehouses across
the country. On average, WFP and partners are providing emergency food assistance to 7.4
million people every month.

(…) One of the most blatant signs of the war’s impact lies in the mass population movements
that have wracked the country since 2015. More than 3 million people have experienced the
shock of displacement since conflict escalated nearly four years ago. Today, about 2.3 million
people remain displaced from their homes. This number has been increasing recently. Since 1
June alone, escalating conflict has forced more than 570,000 people from their homes across
Hudaydah Governorate.

YEMEN 2017/2018
https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/middle-east-and-north-africa/yemen/report-yemen/
(…) There was no progress in political negotiations nor any cessations of hostilities during the
year. As military operations and fighting continued in and around the port cities of Mokha and
Hodeidah, all parties to the conflict refused to engage with the UN-led process at different times
depending on military gains on the ground.

Yemen crisis: Who is fighting whom? (30 January 2018)
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29319423

(…) About 75% of the population - 22.2 million people - are in need of humanitarian
assistance, including 11.3 million people in acute need who urgently require immediate

assistance to survive - an increase of 1 million since June 2017. Some 17.8 million people do
not know where their next meal is coming from and 8.4 million are considered at risk of
starvation. Severe acute malnutrition is threatening the lives of almost 400,000 children
under the age of five.

With only half of the country's 3,500 health facilities fully functioning, at least 16.4 million
people are lacking basic healthcare. Medics have struggled to cope with the world's largest
cholera outbreak, which has resulted in more than 1 million suspected cases and 2,248 associated
deaths since April 2017. More than 3 million people have been forced to flee from their homes in
the past three years, including 2 million who remain displaced.

Why should this matter for the rest of the world? What happens in Yemen can greatly exacerbate
regional tensions. It also worries the West because of the threat of attacks emanating from the
country as it becomes more unstable. Western intelligence agencies consider AQAP the most
dangerous branch of al-Qaeda because of its technical expertise and global reach, and the
emergence of IS affiliates in Yemen is a serious concern. The conflict between the Houthis and
the government is also seen as part of a regional power struggle between Shia-ruled Iran and
Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia. Gulf Arab states have accused Iran of backing the Houthis financially
and militarily, though Iran has denied this, and they are themselves backers of President Hadi.
Yemen is strategically important because it sits on the Bab al-Mandab strait, a narrow waterway
linking the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, through which much of the world's oil shipments
pass.

Houthi leader: We want peace for Yemen, but Saudi airstrikes must stop (November 9, 2018)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2018/11/09/houthi-leader-we-want-
peace-for-yemen-but-saudi-airstrikes-must-stop/
By Mohammed Ali al-Houthi (the head of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee)

The continued escalation of attacks against the port city of Hodeida in Yemen by the U.S.-Saudi-
Emirati coalition confirms that the American calls for a cease-fire are nothing but empty talk. The
recent statements are trying to mislead the world. Saudi leaders are reckless and have no interest
in diplomacy. The United States has the clout to bring an end to the conflict — but it has decided
to protect a corrupt ally.

Any observer of the crimes committed in Yemen by Saudi Arabia — a campaign that has been
accompanied by disinformation and a blockade of journalists trying to cover the war — can offer
an account of the indiscriminate killing thousands of civilians, mostly through airstrikes. Their
attacks have led to the greatest humanitarian crisis on earth.

The brutality of the Saudi regime was reflected in the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
And it can be seen in the military escalation and airstrikes in Hodeida and other cities, in
defiance of all international warnings.

The blockade of the port city is meant to bring the Yemeni people to their knees. The coalition is
using famine and cholera as weapons of war. It is also extorting the United Nations by

threatening to cut their funds, as if it were a charity and not a responsibility required under
international law and Security Council resolutions.

The United States wants to be viewed as an honest mediator — but it is in fact participating and
sometimes leading the aggression on Yemen.

We are defending ourselves — but we don’t have warplanes like the ones that bomb Yemenis
with banned ammunition. We can’t lift the blockade imposed on Yemeni imports and exports. We
cannot cancel the air embargo and allow daily flights, or end the ban of importing basic
commodities, medicines and medical equipment from any place other than the United Arab
Emirates, as it is imposing on Yemeni business executives.

And the list goes on. These repressive practices are killing and destroying Yemen.

Yemen was not the one who declared the war in the first place. Even Jamal Benomar, the former
United Nations envoy to Yemen, said we were close to a power-sharing deal in 2015 that was
disrupted by the coalition airstrikes. We are ready to stop the missiles if the Saudi-led coalition
stops its airstrikes.

But the United States’ calling to stop the war on Yemen is nothing but a way to save face after
the humiliation caused by Saudi Arabia and its spoiled leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman, who has ignored Washington’s pleas to clarify Khashoggi’s murder.

Moreover, Trump and his administration clearly prefer to continue this devastating war because
of the economic returns it produces — they drool over those arms sales profits.

We love peace — the kind of honorable peace defended by our revolution’s leader, Abdulmalik
al-Houthi. We are ready for peace, the peace of the brave. God willing, Yemenis will remain the
callers of peace and lovers of peace.

Award-winning Yemeni human rights activist Radhya Almutawakel joins the program, as she
meets with members of Congress in Washington to raise awareness around the millions of lives
in jeopardy in Yemen. ... Do you believe that today, after the Saudi king has now said he supports
a political solution to Yemen, the Houti rebels have said that they will stop their drone and other
missile attacks. The Saudis have said that they will stop attacking around the Hodeida port. Do
you believe there is a political moment right now that can be grabbed and what are you
saying during your visits with political leaders in the United States? It is the moment now.
Peace in Yemen since the beginning is always possible. It never happened because there is no
political will, but now it is very different, especially after the Khashoggi murder. So it's special
and unique whether we take it or we will lose it for until we never know when.

As evidence mounts in the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, could the international
backlash end the war in Yemen? At least 10,000 people have died there and millions more face
imminent famine. David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme, just
returned from Yemen and is now lobbying European leaders to help stem the suffering.

“It is imperative that the [Trump] administration reflects on how its unflinching support to
the coalition has contributed to the unlawful killing and injuring of countless civilians, the
destruction of homes, schools and hospitals, and the creation of the world’s worst
humanitarian catastrophe.”

Yemen in Crisis (April 19, 2016)
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/yemen-crisis

Yemen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemen
Administration of Yemen has long been notoriously difficult. ...) In the absence of strong state
institutions, elite politics in Yemen constituted a de facto form of collaborative governance,
where competing tribal, regional, religious, and political interests agreed to hold themselves in
check through tacit acceptance of the balance it produced.
(…) Since 2011, Yemen has been in a state of political crisis starting with street protests against
poverty, unemployment, corruption, and president Saleh's plan to amend Yemen's constitution
and eliminate the presidential term limit, in effect making him president for life. President Saleh
stepped down and the powers of the presidency were transferred to Vice President Abdrabbuh
Mansur Hadi, who was formally elected president on 21 February 2012 in a one-man election.
The transitional process was disrupted by conflicts between the Houthis and al-Islah, as well as
the al-Qaeda insurgency. In September 2014, the Houthis took over Sana'a with the help of the

ousted president Saleh, later declaring themselves in control of the country after a coup d'état;
Saleh was shot dead by a sniper in Sana'a in December 2017. This resulted in a new civil war and
a Saudi Arabian-led military intervention aimed at restoring Hadi's government.

At least 56,000 civilians and combatants have been killed in armed violence in Yemen since
January 2016. The war has blocked food imports, leading to a famine that is affecting 17 million
people. The lack of safe drinking water, caused by depleted aquifers and the destruction of the
country's water infrastructure, has also caused the world's worst outbreak of cholera, with the
number of suspected cases exceeding 994,751. Over 2,226 people have died since the outbreak
began to spread rapidly at the end of April 2017. In 2016 the United Nations reported that Yemen
is the country with the most people in need of humanitarian aid in the world with 21.2 million.
