YEMENI WAR

The Yemeni war (2015-present) began between two factions claiming to constitute the Yemeni government. Houthi forces allied with forces loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh confronted forces loyal to the Saudi-backed government of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. In March 2015, Houthi-Saleh forces captured Sana, the last remaining stronghold of pro-Hadi forces. Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia that responded with a large-scale invasion to Yemen in an attempt to re-establish its proxy in power. ISIS and al-Qaeda were also involved in the conflict, carrying out attacks across the country.

Saudi spokesperson:

“…Yemen went and built their country right between us and the sea where Saudi ARAMCO had planned an oil pipeline for thousands of years! It was probably an Iranian-backed scheme.

We have no choice but to take over Yemeni’s Port of Nishtun, kill the resident terrorists (the Yemenis that won’t work for us) and run our pipeline to the new oil terminal we’re building there.

And Americans should help us kill all Yemenis in the way or that oppose us because otherwise Iran will threaten to choke off our exports.

What? Oh, no – the Americans don’t get a damn drop of that oil. Everything leaving the Saudi Nishtun Oil Terminal will go to China. But this will thwart evil Iranian plans, so what’s not for the U.S. taxpayers to like about crushing the Yemeni opposition?”
