are doing enough to minimize the deadly impact of their military campaign in yemen . what we're seeing is that we're seeing increasing pressure around the world including in spain the united states germany britain and even norway to cease all military sales to yemen to saudi arabia and to the united arab emirates forwarder operations in yemen having said that we're also seeing that there is a concerted effort led by the united states to push forward the peace process for yemen as we have seen in previous reportings just these past couple of days the u.n. special envoy for yemen martin griffin has just traveled throughout the gulf to set the stage for the next push for the u.n. peace talks we have also seen that the who things have said that they have been denied access to traveling to geneva for the peace talks and the saudis for their part have accused the who these of not showing up so there is a gap there between the two narratives yet you say there's a lot of pressure on these western governments to perhaps review their support for the sandy led coalition but it d
