In this episode of “Behind the Headline,” host Mnar Muhawesh shines a light through the fog of war in Syria and onto the harsh realities of the Saudi-led, U.S.-backed war in Yemen. 

The war in Syria is routinely reported through a particular lens, and peace activist and author David Swanson discusses who benefits most from this narrative on Syria and why. 

Unlike the war in Syria, the war on Yemen goes routinely under-reported in mainstream media, even as half of the country’s population is food insecure and the death toll has grown so high that the Red Cross is donating morgues to hospitals. Author and political analyst Catherine Shakdam fills in the gaps left by the media blackout on Yemen and tells viewers how they can push back against it.
