Despite these tempting offers, which have been the subject of negotiations between Sanaa and Riyadh for over two years, the Yemenis remained steadfast.
Ansarallah leader Abdel Malik al-Houthi’s consistent position, as reiterated in his speeches, has been to continue operations as long as Israeli aggression against Gaza persists.
So all they're asking is for the US to stop funding and supporting the genocide. Just do that then 🤷
2 months ago: "Yemen is about to learn why we don't have free healthcare!"
now: "pwease, mr houthi sir 🥺🥺🥺"
why we don't have free healthcare!
Turns out the real reason is a structural system of waste and incompetence at all levels of American government and society.
Sorry they don't negotiate with terrorists
So, this is why Americans have no universal healthcare?
Yes, in part to maintain a navy that is probably more costly than rest of the world navies combined (or close to it) and which failed at using good old gunboat diplomacy against country with no navy and which is decimated by years of war at this point.
Hahaha after months of calling them nothing but "rebels" and "terrorists" and unsucessful attacks, they are now calling them with their proper name "Ansarallah" and even "Yemen’s de facto government in Sanaa." And even "US offered Sanaa – in exchange for its neutrality in the ongoing Gaza war – “an acknowledgment of its legitimacy.”
Resistance works and the emperor is naked.
If none of those concessions include "end the genocide of Palestinians" then they're not even worth discussing. Ansarallah has made their demand very clear.
US negotiators in shambles after learning about the existence of "principles".
Informed Yemeni sources reveal to The Cradle that the US offered Sanaa – in exchange for its neutrality in the ongoing Gaza war – “an acknowledgment of its legitimacy.”
This would involve severely reducing the role of the Saudi-backed Presidential Council led by Rashid al-Alimi and accelerating the signing of a roadmap with Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to end the aggression against Yemen.
The sources further reveal that the Americans pledged to immediately release withheld Yemeni public sector salaries from the National Saudi Bank, lift the country’s siege entirely, reopen Sanaa Airport, ease restrictions on the port of Hodeidah, and facilitate a comprehensive prisoner exchange agreement with all involved parties.
Feels refreshing seeing a nation actually take a real stand instead of pretending to take one or falling in line with the USA's demands.
Pakistan army folded in 2 seconds just for a crappy IMF loan.
This article is really tooting Yemen's horn. Are they really in that much control over there?
I am uninformed on this subject, but that article felt like it was so pro Yemen that it could be propaganda.
Yemen withstood almost a decade of bombardment from Saudi Arabia with support from the UAE, Sudan, Bargain, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Senegal, Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Canada. Are you really surprised?
It seems reasonably believable. Yemen’s actions in solidarity with Gaza have made western shipping considerably more difficult, and the US’s primary strategy of enforcing its will, indiscriminate violence, has proven highly ineffective.
Yes the Houthi movement are in control of large swathes of Yemen. Basically the US started drone bombing the hell out of Yemen back in the 2000s and what always happens happened - it drove way more people into a group that was opposed to the West.
As for the topics of the article, here's a mainstream news article that covers some of the same ground, and here's a rightwing news source. Join the dots, the main topic of OPs article is credible even if you have reservations about the tone.
(The famine in the last article has been going on for the better part of a decade without western powers caring so Sky's very hypocritical.)
