Naser Hamoud Naji, mother, Saada, Nishour Valley

I have eight sons and daughters and I am pregnant. The army killed my husband’s brother and injured my husband in his arm. The soldiers inspected our house and they were saying very bad words to us, they scared my children. We fled from our houses to Nishour Mountain to get shelter. The war planes bombed the area and destroyed our house and burned our farm.

Wow. But the MSM only cares about conflicts that can be shoehorned into the West vs Third World paradigm, like Israel/Palestine or Iraq/US. Intra Third World struggles are of no interest to them. Besides, easier to report from the Baghdad Hilton or recite the latest press release from the PA than go to someplace like Yemen & risk your life
