When your own people fight each other it’s easier for others to take advantage of you.

Important background and analysis. If more people understood what was going on in Yemen there would be additional calls to end the civilian suffering and protect the children.

Thank you FPA for producing such an amazing piece of informative and comprehensive presentation on the diplomatic political and military activities affecting the lives of millions of Yemenis. Watching this accelerates my critical thinking and analytical skills for problem-solving and policy-making for a peaceful, stable world.

Hopefully this will shed some light on the tragedy underway in Yemen. Americans are largely unaware of the crisis and our involvement.

My god why can't they just have two separate countries and live in peace. U.S should stop supplying bombs and planes to the saudis. Preaching liberty, peace and freedom at home while raging war outside.I can understand now why america is called the biggest hypocrite in the world.

Do you know what caused the war in Yemen? The location of Yemen is more important than the UAE's location, and the UAE rely heavily on its ports, including the port of Jebel Ali, but if Yemen's ports worked, the UAE ports would not have any significance, therefore Dubai Ports Company worked to control the most important port in the region, the port of Aden, at the time of the former Yemeni president Ali Saleh and the UAE worked to neglect the port, but after the revolution in Yemen in 2011, the new government canceled the agreement with Dubai Ports Company, and agreed with China to manage the port of Aden, so the UAE supported its former agent Ali Saleh to ally with the Houthi militia to control the capital of Yemen, sana'a, to overthrow the Yemeni government, the UAE intervened under the pretext of toppling the Houthi coup, then UAE took control of the port of Aden. The UAE also controlled the other ports of Yemen and the Yemeni islands, the most important of which are Socotra and Mion. UAE also made its militias in southern Yemen calling for the secession of southern Yemen. These militias are preventing the government from returning to Aden, and so far the Yemeni government is in the KSA capital, Riyadh, the UAE has made Yemen in a state of chaos, famine, and ongoing war.
