Why doesn't the Yemen/Saudi war get more publicity?
For example, many of the people reading this will not have even heard of it.

@mrmoose Yes but tbf the British government is also highly complicit. It wouldn't be fair of me to blame it all on the US.

I haven't seen that. I think you should distinguish between the people and Government action. The nature of power means that citizens don't get much choice in military foreign policy. People are either lied to or just kept in the dark.
In the last US election, Hillary would be pro-war if she had won. Trump claimed to be anti-war but now isn't. It's the MIC which dictates the terms, not voters.
This is the same in Britain, unfortunately.

@mrmoose Its sad that you felt the need to do that and I heard that from some Americans here in the post 9/11 period. I don't judge on nationality but unfortunately some do.
