Interesting point is that country like Qatar, don't take in refugees. Lot of them are pushed into Europa, strange case.
The only ones who are connected to the chaos in Libya are the terrorists 👎👎
Stop from spreading fake rumors and lies about UAE, it always exerts a lot of efforts in order to bring peace back to Yemen.
America sending troops into Saudi Arabia to protect the Petro-Dollar?
Thank you for reporting this in an objective way…. "the REAL NEWS" keeps gettnig better….
Good. 😀
I'm from Yemen (Aden), The main truth is Houthi militias are way more aggressive toward civilians than Saudi aircrafts. 5000 civilians in Aden died because of them while trying to capture the city in 2015.
Most confused Real News video ever. What analysis???
The Hoothis offered a complete stop of hostilities toward Saoudi Arabia.Please, I 'm calling the Saoudi Royals, especially the young Prince to seek a peaceful path from this day on.God is offering you a way to spare your nose Saoudis, since it comes from them.
I don't want to be at your place rulers…I find it extremely hard to raise two kids without offensing God in any way.You are responsible, both sides, especially Saoudis of the death of thousands, starving kids, total destruction of the Yemen.One Cat would put you in hell, muslims know what I mean.Never late, find a way.Yemen is dark, ignorance and dogma are the main issues.Instead of bombing you should have built schools.Yemen could be a great ally to Saoudi Arabia.Rebuild it.Oil won't last.Take care of archeological sites in yemen, there are many.Take advantage of Yemen by encouraging agriculture, Saoudis will need food in the future, help build efficient water use.May God help you all.
the host has an excellent voice and presentation. He's a riveting narrator
Every time I see a report like this interviewing a so called expert, I feel like pulling my hair out… allow me to explain:
1. The UAE and the Saudis are not fighting the Houthis… they claim they do, but they don't. After all the UAE paid the Houthis half a billion dollars to undertake the coup against the Yemeni government and coordinated their alliance the former president and his loyal forces.
2. The Saudis and the UAE coordinated with the Houthis to continue their march south towards Taiz and then Aden so they can pressure president Hadi to appeal for help which gave them the green light to enter Yemen. The goal first and foremost was to destroy the Yemeni military and infrastructre… why? Because a democratic Yemen would pose a geopolitical threat to their very existence (at least they think). Yemen has enough resources and ports to be a very wealthy country… and the ports of Aden, Mocha, and Hodeidah are better positioned than any port in the UAE… it would take away billions of dollars of revenues a year from the UAE… so Yemen, to them, poses a geopolitical and a geo-economic threat.
3. The Yemeni military (under President Hadi's command) was able to come within 20 kilometers of Sana'a and the UAE and the Saudis seem to have "erronous" strikes that hit Hadi's forces… they were intentional. They don't want the war to end for the reasons mentioned above.
4. The Saudis and the UAE seem to have agreed to split south Yemen where the UAE takes the Socatra Islands (plural), Aden province and Abyan, and the Saudis would take The other three provinces in the South Hadramout, Mahrah, and Shabwah. and they will leave the north in chaos where the Houthis retain control but remain weak enough to keep the war going forever basically.
5. The proof to what I said in point 4 above is this: the UAE sent forces and weapons to Socatra even though there's no unrest there and no Houthis went there… the Saudis went to Al-Mahra and did the same even though Houthis never made it that far…
6. The UAE created the Southern Transitional Council which is made up of a bunch of despots and mercenaries, managed to create civil discourse and armed them so they can kick the Hadi government out of Aden.. which they did with the help of the UAE air force… the STC thought they were powerful even though they represent a tiny minority of the South and continued their march into Shabwah… that angered the Saudis so they supported Hadi's forces by simply preventing the UAE air force to get involved but they wanted both sides to sustain losses…
7. The Hadi forces who represent all of Yemen wanted to take back Aden and they came very close and that's when the UAE bombed them killing 300 soldiers… the Saudis didn't respond.
8. This in-turn made it clear to everyone that the UAE and the Saudis are not there to defeat the Houthis but to take over Yemen…
9. The reason the Hadi forces have had so much success despite not having heavy armaments or air force is because they fight for a cause that's one nation where everyone is equal under the law.
10. The notion they're fighting the Islah party is non-sense. The Islah party is a political party and under Yemeni law has the right to exist. The Saudis and UAE are using fighting them as an excuse for financing the Houthi rebellion.
11. When interviewing "experts", please have someone who actually knows the region instead of someone named "Sharp" or "Stewart"… the ignorance of the issue is maddening….
the tribes in libya are all backing general haftar
Iran shall win against USA-Saudi-Isreal gang of infidles In Shaa Allah.
MBS is most hated man in the world now. Yeamanis shall win In Shaa Allah as our holy Prophet's(PBUH) prayers are with Yeaminis.
one comment mentioned "Houthi ideals" – could someone tell us what those are?
No yemen had neighbor and they should been good or at least not bother and from Long time ago the been involved in all Muslim countries . Iraq was the experience from the deepest traders . saudi arabia and iran just trying to get are land after we kill each other so they could get land from palestine to shim and iraq. No .no to the Jewish around Mecca or jerusalem. They feak Kings they jew and we are ALLAH soldiers first and freedom second or last this what everyone else doing.if you believe in God first.
Very fine interview/discussion, but … heck, ugh, the whole situation is a nasty mess; definitely not one to be welcomed. It definitely seems to be insane, and I'm not implying the Houthis, for the impression that I've been getting about them is that they're just trying to defend against foreign powers. I don't understand why these foreign powers want to do this. It was criminal to go after Iraq, Libya, Syria, Sudan, f.e., but why also Yemen, I wonder.
Allah willing. Yemen claiming to be responsible for attacking oil supplies that affect World Trade is going to have grave consequences
Where is Erik Prince in all this? The last I heard he had established a mercenary army for hire in the region. Who’s he working for these days?
This war is the flagship of a bullying coward – MBS.
Shiite Iraqi Cleric Yassin Al-Musawi Slams Saud Clan: That "Innocent Lamb of a Country" Sends Us Suicide Bombers on a Daily Basis, Stands alongside Israel Shiite Iraqi cleric Yassin Al-Musawi said in a recent TV interview that Saudi Arabia, which it called "our kindhearted neighboring country… that meek and calm kingdom that wants only what's best for us," sends us suicide bombers on a daily basis. "One day they send us ISIS, another day they send us Al-Qaeda," he said. He criticized the Saud clan, saying that it "is responsible for all those who were killed anywhere in Baghdad" and said that "this family, which slaughtered and killed the Iraqis, is now standing alongside Israel." Al-Musawi posted the interview on his YouTube channel on June 8. Nth Africa and Saudi Arabia belong to Berbers
Shamefully in the UAE there's an Australian army general directing the bombing of Yemen a disgrace to the human race imo.
US, UK & France should be trialed for crime against humanity
Trump blinks again. After MBS displayed the missiles recovered from the refineries bombed, Trump can only impose sanctions after threatening retaliation against Iran. US knows it cannot defeat Iran. So, UAE withdraws from their support for Saudi Arabia.
Both Yemen & Libya started under Obama's watch.
Bolton's a nutjob, but The Her is worse.
Why is Toyota the official vehicle for rebels worldwide?
Like the song says
War, Good God What is it good for absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting analysis. Many thanks to you all.
Trump vetoed a bill that would withdraw US support for Saudi Arabia in this genocide!
Remember that. Trump wants this too
I see this Yemeni War as being a Tribal War between Shi'ites and Sunnis and it is wrong for any Superpower to get involved.
The US are the terrorist around the world. The world is sick and tired of it. The psychopath leaders have no problem murdering woman men and children. The greed for the rich man's Wars is despicable. Bust up the Military Industrial Complex Killing Machine from the inside out and maybe there can be peace. The US government supplies all these countries with weapons. Weapons Manufacturers need to be dismantled and held accountable for murder. I'm sick of this crap. I'm old enough to remember the lies and the Viet Nam War. I've lost family and friends. The government murdered soldiers with Agent Orange and lied about it. They've been manufacturing consent for War forever. Profits over people's lives that's all it is. The American people bought this bullshit. They gave metals and if you died they draped a flag over your coffin and called you a hero. It's always been a lie and they moved onto the next generation. Well, times are changing and the new generation isn't buying the bullshit. We told you this is in the name of "Democracy" that we go Murder Women and Children Steal, your Natural Resources, Rinse and Repeat. They told you this is for "our" freedom, I ask from who? If you think we live in a Democracy here at home you are sadly mistaken. The poor man has been fighting the rich man's Wars forever. No offense to soldiers, but they probably promised healthcare and school. Vote Progressive, get Med4all and free Public College or Trade School. You will never have to fight a rich man's War again. Bernie/Tulsi 2020.
The only progress made over the last twenty years is the fact that the people can get informed through the internet about what is taking place around the world. We have now the lies confronted with some part of the reality. In the past we have no information, no images, no reports, no valid documentaries. So now we have some informations from various indépendant media, it helps to understand what kind of circus we are dealing with and who organise and finance it. A fraction of the people around the world become aware of some reality and a social consciousness emerge out of it. Let’s not pretend we have reach a higher stage of consciousness on a universal basis, no, it is a slow process, nevertheless we can say that we see the end of the beginning of this apolitical situation with millions of political simpletons watching the big media as a form of entertainment and nothing else. What is remarkable about humans is this ability to survive as an animal species, survive is the word to use so far, physical elimination of millions takes place daily through our savagery and yet we have apparently 7 billions people agitating themselves in an anarchist way trying to find a place under the sun. Will see what comes next, just let’s not expect miracles , that way no risk to be disappointed.
LET'S YOU AND HIM FIGHT is the most insidious psychological ploy the big countries use to destroy the small opposition.
Saudi Arabia, Israel and the USA are the true Axis of Evil.
From where I sit the drives and power of a particular culture of people in Saudi soceity are turned into the drives and powers of Oil.
There is a mystification surrounding the Saudi public and what they think of this situation, of all their oil wealth spent in destruction and barbarism, by their king and prince.
Iran had a king and he was overthrown in 1979. How deep is their indoctrination or oppression that they continue their lives without remonstration in face of mass genocide by their rulers?
Angry and hate for them. Pity and sympathy for Yemenis.
Saudi Arabia will reap what they sow. history will remember
