Can someone explain to me how this is "A Breach of Yemeni Sovereignty"? It seems like these actions are supported by the internationally recognized government in Yemen. (I'm not asking about the validity of these actions, or the horrendous effects of them. Just the sovereignty question)
Also, is this the interviewee? It appears she is a language and literacy assistant professor who happens to be Yemeni American, not an expert on the Yemen war, international law, or anything else relevant to these events.
This is the same "international recognition" that doesn't consider Taiwan to be a legitimate government?
International recognition isn't worth shit. Ansarallah has de facto control over the vast majority of Yemen's territory. Just as the ROC is the government of Taiwan, Ansarallah is the government of Yemen.
Thank you for providing a good example! I'm really not sure what the status of Taiwan's Sovereignty would be, but it's definitely something to think about.
