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.

The ‘Ceasefire Violations in al Hudaydah’ should just be a permanent label. It’s either Saudi-backed forces, or Saudi-backed forces claiming it’s the Houthis’ fault.

Saudi-damaged Port of Hudaydah remains open and almost always has a tanker and three or four cargo ships unloading. The Saudis are still enforcing a partial embargo and all ships headed for Hudaydah still need to be inspected and get UAE permission in Djibouti first. The imports (whether aid or commercial) are still far, far below what Yemenis need to survive. 80% depend on food aid today. That’s by design – the US/Saudi Plan is to have 100% of Yemenis totally dependent on them for food, medicine and water. It’s way easier to eliminate undesired population (Houthis) and have total control of the rest. Hey – it’s ‘Humanitarian Aid’. What could be wrong with that?
