At least 87 persons, the majority women, children, and the elderly, were killed in aerial bombings in northern Yemen today, a witness to the attack and others reported.

Yemeni officials and rebel leaders should ensure that their forces fully respect the laws of war in the ongoing armed conflict in northern Yemen.

The apparent suicide of a Yemeni detainee at Guantanamo Bay underscores the urgent need for the United States to reach agreement with Yemen on sending uncharged prisoners home.

Yemen's government should immediately cease attacks on independent newspapers and scrap plans for a special court to try media cases.

The Obama administration should ensure that two Yemenis ordered released from Guantanamo by the US Justice Department and a federal court this week do not face further illegal detention or other mistreatment.

What will Obama do with Guantanamo's single largest group of detainees? One hundred Yemenis wait to go home--but those who've already returned to Yemen didn't find a warm welcome.

The United States and Yemen should quickly move to develop a humane repatriation plan for the nearly 100 Yemeni prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay.

Tens of thousands of civilians in northern Yemen have been displaced or cut off from aid in fighting between government and rebel forces.
