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.

Yemeni Army missile strikes 700km deep into Saudi Arabia

AlMasdarNews reports: Sana’a, Yemen (5:04 A.M.) – A SCUD missile fired by the Yemeni Republican Guard reportedly struck the Saudi city of Ta’if that is located approximately 700 km deep into the oil-dependent nation.

This military development is of massive significance because it implies that the Saudi capital of Riyadh is within the range of the Yemeni ballistic missiles, and may therefore change the trajectory of the Yemeni conflict further to the side of the Sana’a-based elected government of Yemen.

Al-Masira News Channel and official military sources have yet to confirm news of this rocket attack.

This is great news. I know Iran is not helping them, but boy I wish the Iranians fleet would just sink the Saudi fleet already and deliver food, medical and missiles already to the tiny country of Yemen defending themselves against a vastly filthy rich Zio Empire with F-16’s and a lot of other expensive crap.
Help Yemen, they need everyone’s help available.
This is a humanitarian call out for the world for HELP!
