Red Zone

"The situation in Yemen and the surrounding maritime areas presented serious risks of assassination, abduction, and piracy. The entirety of Yemeni territory was classified as a red zone, and it was strongly advised against traveling there. Al-Qaeda was active in the Arabian Peninsula and particularly targeted foreign nationals. Two hundred foreigners had been kidnapped over the past fifteen years. Foreign nationals were therefore urged to abandon any plans to travel to Yemen. The waters south of the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden were the scene of frequent attacks on civilian and military vessels. Acts of maritime piracy, including hostage-taking, were common. At-risk maritime areas included the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the southern Red Sea. Clearly, it was not the right time to come to Aden. The country was at war, one of those endless wars that had torn the country apart since its inception. Yemen, one of the oldest cradles of civilization in the Middle East, had existed for millennia. It had been the kingdom of Saba, then Hadramaut, Qataban, and Ma'in. The region had prospered under Himyarite domination, with trade extending to East Africa. Then the arrival of Islam had changed everything. Yemeni tribes had played a significant role in the Islamic conquests. The Abbasids had given way to the Ayyubids, Ziyadids, Sulayhids, Rassoulids, Tahirids, Zayidis, and then the Ottomans, against whom Henry de Monfreid had intrigued on behalf of France. The rivalry between North Yemen and South Yemen was the seed of a series of political troubles and conflicts, culminating in the civil war of 1994. This rivalry had been exacerbated by Ottoman dominance in the north, against Aden and the southern territories under British rule. Once again, the British had sown discord before withdrawing in 1967, once nationalist passions had reached a boiling point. Since then, despite the attempt at unification in 1990, the country had not found itself. Yemen had become a land of internal strife, prey to foreign interventions that elicited resistance movements in return. In 2011, the Arab Spring, concocted by the CIA, had finally swept Yemen away. The assumption of duties by the US Ambassador to Tunis, Joey R. Hood, after the end of the second round of legislative elections in Tunisia, and the visit to Tunisia by the CIA Director in Libya and Egypt were part of the plan to destabilize the Middle East, with the help of the Islamist Brotherhood. The "Arab Spring" was a reconfiguration of the region orchestrated by the American administration. The Middle East Briefing (MEB) organization, relying on a declassified report from the US State Department dated October 22, 2010, demonstrated the involvement of the White House in these revolutions that had shaken the entire Middle East and North Africa. The CIA had worked deeply with non-governmental organizations through its "Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI)" to finance and catalyze "change in the region." The Obama administration had been at the forefront, sparing no effort to succeed in its interference in the internal affairs of targeted countries. William B. Taylor, Special Coordinator for Transitions in the Middle East, led this destabilization project, the same one that had prepared the "orange revolution" in Ukraine... Yemen had been targeted, along with Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, and Syria. Since the civil war of 2015, the country had been plunged into chaos. The Houthi rebels, supported by Iran, had seized control of the capital, Sana'a, and overthrown the government of Hadi. In response, a coalition led by Saudi Arabia had launched a military campaign to restore Hadi. Millions of people had been displaced, famine and cholera were ravaging the country. In short, the country was dying because of bastards who had decided to destroy the world from Washington.

US and UK Launch Strikes Against Iran-Backed Houthis in Yemen

In a swift and unprecedented move, the US and UK militaries have launched strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen. The retaliation comes in response to the Houthi group's relentless attacks on international maritime vessels in the Red Sea, posing a significant threat to global security.

International Coalition's Response

 US President Joe Biden, along with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, justified the strikes as a necessary act of self-defense to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the region. The operation involved a multi-pronged effort, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands. "Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces — together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands—successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most vital waterways," stated President Biden.

Precision Strikes and Targets

 The coalition executed over 60 strikes, utilizing more than 100 precision-guided munitions on 16 Iranian-backed Houthi militant locations. Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich highlighted the diverse range of targeted assets, including command and control nodes, munitions, depots, launching systems, production facilities, and air defense radar systems. "We were absolutely not targeting civilian population centers. We were going after very specific capabilities, in very specific locations, with precision munitions," emphasized a senior US military official.

Houthi Response and Regional Tensions

The strikes have faced condemnation across the Middle East. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sare’e confirmed casualties among their ranks but asserted that the airstrikes would not deter further attacks on shipping. The Houthi group, an Iran-backed Shia organization, has been supporting its assaults on shipping by launching drones and missiles in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen

The conflict in Yemen, exacerbated by years of civil war, has plunged the population into a devastating humanitarian crisis marked by famine, economic turmoil, and extreme poverty. The ongoing conflict between Houthi forces and the Saudi-backed coalition has led to a staggering death toll and displaced millions. "The airstrikes are barbaric, terrorist, and are a deliberate and unjustified aggression that reflects a brutal psychology,"  condemned Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the head of the Houthi group’s Supreme Revolutionary Committee.

Biden's Deliberations and Warning

President Biden, navigating the complexities of the region, had hesitated to order direct strikes to avoid escalating tensions. However, repeated Houthi attacks on international shipping forced the administration's hand. The Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, especially on Tuesday, marked a turning point, prompting Biden to warn of consequences. "They will bear the responsibility of the consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, and free flow of commerce in the region’s critical waterways," stated a joint statement issued on January 3.

Looking Ahead

 As the situation unfolds, Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that consequences would follow if Houthi attacks persist. The international community remains vigilant, balancing the need for deterrence with the risk of further regional escalation. In summary, the US and UK's joint military strikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen reflect a significant response to protect vital waterways, addressing a longstanding threat to international maritime security. The complex geopolitical landscape adds urgency to finding a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing crisis. Read the full article

We Are Humans too is concerned about the deal signed by UK Gov in regards to the 48 fighters jets sold to Saudi Arabia. We truly hope as it can be read in @savethechildren statement, that Saudi Arabia and Britain will ensure that weapons will not be used to aim children. However, the involvement of Saudi Arabia in the Yemen conflict has caused horrific conditions such us the outbreak of cholera and famine. We Are Humans hopes too "for an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded access for humanitarian and commercial supplies". #dontbombchildren #yemen #yemenconflict #saudiarabia #crownprincevisit (presso London, United Kingdom)

🇾🇪Differences slow down Sweden peace talks to end Yemen war | Al Jazeera English by Al Jazeera English After several false starts, the talks aimed at ending the war in Yemen seems to have hit the wall. The Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government are divided on the fate of President in exile Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The Houthis want him to step down, but the government delegates think otherwise. This, along with various other issues, clouded the third day of talks for a political solution to the civil war.
