This should keep the ball rolling.
US Sen. Elizabeth Warren has written to US government agencies demanding answers after a CNN investigation revealed that American-made weapons in Yemen are being turned on the internationally recognized and US-backed government.
Last week, CNN revealed that military hardware supplied to US allies had been distributed in contravention of arms deals to militia groups, including separatists backed by the United Arab Emirates. The separatists are now using that hardware to fight the Saudi Arabia-supported forces of the internationally recognized government, who are also armed with US weapons.
"These unauthorized diversions of American military hardware to armed groups ... undermine US national security objectives in securing a political settlement to the conflict in Yemen, which has no military solution and remains one of the world's worst humanitarian crises," reads Warren's letter, which was sent Monday and is addressed to US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
This is the second time that Warren, a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, has written to the US agencies about arms transfers in Yemen following CNN reporting."

The Taliban do not recognise the Wests government officials.
The Taliban are the real deal.
Proof, USA brought them to governance when Afghanistan was allowing Soviet influence, like allowing women to go to universities, no burqa jazz etc.
Its why they kill any thing that sympathises with the foreign invaders.
Get it?
Second verse, same as the first....
"We are ready to talk, but we have the same stance to resume the talks from where it was suspended," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said.
A spokesperson for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani told the newspaper that Trump's trip to Afghanistan this week was “important” but that “we will have to see” whether it changed anything.
“It is too early to comment on any changes or any perceived changes,” said spokesman Sediq Seddiqi.
A senior administration official told The Post that they are "restarting talks" with the Taliban.
“If an agreement can be reached, the two sides could potentially expand the talks and pave the way for signing a peace agreement," the person said.
President Trump in September called off negotiations with the Taliban and Afghanistan after the Taliban claimed an attack in Kabul that killed 11 civilians and a U.S. service member.

Would you have preferred Western countries did nothing after 9/11, and just told Al Qaeda not to do it again?
What goes round comes round
""God knows it did not cross our minds to attack the Towers, but after the situation became unbearable—and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon—I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed—when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the U.S. Sixth Fleet. As I watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me punish the unjust the same way: to destroy towers in America so it could taste some of what we are tasting and to stop killing our children and women."
— Osama bin Laden, 2004"
