Faisal bin Ali Gaber is a Yemeni engineer 55 years , serious gesture, serene look soft but firm voice. On 29 August last year , while he was celebrating the second day of the wedding of his son, a sweep of drones killed his brother , Salim bin Ali , and his nephew , Waleed bin Ali , an imam who preached against al Qaeda and police, respectively. For statistics are two names of the long list of innocent victims of drone raids -66 , according to the count - The New American Foundation for Bin Ali are two absences that have broken family and a reminder of unreason a counterterrorism policy that looks the other way when it causes innocent casualties.
On 29 August last year , while he was celebrating the second day of the wedding of his son, a sweep of drones killed his brother , Salim bin Ali , and his nephew , Waleed bin Ali , an imam who preached against al Qaeda and police, respectively
" At first it seemed he was in a movie, I thought that what I was experiencing was not real ," says Bin Ali while recalls the attack. The weak voice of the engineer becomes almost imperceptible when explaining the anguish he felt as he picked up the remains of the bodies of his brother , 43, and his nephew , 27 . In addition to the family of Bin Ali , three others killed in the raid. " None of the people know who they were ," he says .
So far, the only attack that drone that wins his village Khashamir , in eastern Yemen, but since then , its inhabitants struggle to adapt to living with panic and uncertainty that have come back for another raid. Bin Ali has moved to Washington to convey to members of the Capitol and U.S. citizens representing live in fear, always pending the sky, but , above all, to find out who takes responsibility for the crime committed against her family and the town in which you live and to warn of the dire consequences of the drone strategy can be derived for the U.S. and Yemen.
"The first thing I want to know is who is responsible for the death of Salim and Waleed , and once you know, who is going to take care of their families ," says Bin Ali El Pais , sitting in the lobby of Washington hotel where you are staying since last Thursday landed in the U.S. capital . It is the second time this country authorizes the visa for victims of drone attacks after a few weeks ago allowed the entry of the Rehman family, from Pakistan , so they could explain to Congress how a raid drone CIA drone killed the matriarch.
At first it seemed he was in a movie, I came to think that what I was experiencing was not real "
While in Washington, Bin Ali has met with several congressmen and cabinet makers senators , visited the State Department and is scheduled to meet with members of the committee on Legal and Senate Armed Services and Intelligence officials USA. In his meetings , legislators had sent a " regret and condolences " but , according to the Yemeni engineer, " are not clear how to change this type of policy or what the alternative strategy to be adopted in the future. "
Bin Ali has several ideas about who would like to share with President Barack Obama, who has asked to be received at the White House . "I would say that the counterterrorism methods you are using are counterproductive and harmful than effective or beneficial ," he says . Perfectly aware that it is practically impossible to reach to share their ideas with President Bin Ali , however , is clear that the policy of drone strikes that the U.S. began using in Yemen in 2002 and has not exploited the Obama Administration is effective .
" Yemenis could be very important in the fight against Al Qaeda are active because most ideologically against the organization. But the fight based solely on military strategy and the drone raids that kill innocent civilians, is not doing any good either to the U.S. or Yemen , "he warns .
The engineer agrees with those who say that the drone raids are increasing radicalization of the youth of his country , promoting their recruitment by Al Qaeda and the rise of hatred towards the U.S.. " The attack on my village is an example. Salim was a magnet that five days before his assassination was preaching against Al Qaeda. Now there's a man down featuring sermons and public warning against the terrorist group . Who won the battle that day? Al Qaeda , of course, not the U.S., " he laments.
Basing the fight only in military strategy and the drone raids that kill innocent civilians, is not doing any good either to U.S. or Yemen "
The remotely piloted attack aircraft has become the most effective and less vulnerable form has been found to impair U.S. members of that organization. Since its inception in 2002 , have posted 93 raids , which have claimed the lives of between 684 and 891 , including about 66 civilians, according to the New American Foundation. Drone operations in Yemen are directed by the CIA and the Joint Special Operations Command of the U.S., but run in coordination with the Government of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Bin Ali is aware of the collusion of his country and has also tried to hold accountable the regime in Sana'a. " Within two hours of the attack received a call from a government official in which I was assured that neither Waleed Salim or were objective and that his death was a mistake ," recalls Ali Bin . "I asked if the government was to begin an investigation into the matter , but he said that was not in his hand and had to ask the president." Since then the family has tried to Bin Ali the governor of the region or the head of Yemeni state involved in the case. " The governor has been receptive and have tried to get some kind of compensation for the families , but so far have only received promises written on paper , but nothing concrete , after more than a year," he explains.
Bin Ali for the difference between the Government of Yemen and the U.S. is that the former has indeed tried to give explanations about the death of his family against the silence of Washington. Bin Ali , however , takes a positive impression of your trip to this country. "I was surprised how receptive Americans have shown in my case and support me. And this is a message that I convey to the people of my people, that America is not just a country devoted to killing people with drones , but a nation that shares our concerns and our fears and is interested for the future of our people.
