13-year-old Mohammed Tuaiman was killed by a CIA drone strike in Yemen. Prophetically, he spoke with the Guardian just months prior to his death about how he, his friends, and his neighbors had a deep fear of drones.
“I see them every day and we are scared of them. A lot of the kids in this area wake up from sleeping because of nightmares from them and some now have mental problems. They turned our area into hell and continuous horror, day and night, we even dream of them in our sleep,” Tuaiman told the Guardian.
Mohammed’s father and brother were killed by a drone while they were herding camels in 2011. Then just last month on January 26th Mohammed himself was killed by a drone.
“They tell us that these drones come from bases in Saudi Arabia and also from bases in the Yemeni seas and America sends them to kill terrorists, but they always kill innocent people. But we don’t know why they are killing us,” Mohammed said in his interview with the Guardian.
“In their eyes, we don’t deserve to live like people in the rest of the world and we don’t have feelings or emotions or cry or feel pain like all the other humans around the world,” he added.
Mohammed and his family have had the misfortune of being wrongly associated with Al-Qaeda, but they have sworn by their innocence for many years. They are among thousands of innocent people who are killed overseas by US drone strikes.

The civilians of Yemen are the ones that seem to be targeted more than anyone in this proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The UN needs to be cracking down on the blockades and lack of access for humanitarian aid. So very sad.
