There's no future in England's dreaming
There's nothing loon about what you say. News is always manufactured and controlled. In relative terms to the devastation the Saudis bombing shit out of Yemen received bugger all reporting before the Houthis started the Red Sea thing. Because Saudis are our weapon buying friends. Of course things get silenced, just as they get reported. But that choice isn't random, it's political, and nobody should be afraid of being called a loon or conspiracist for daring to point things out.

On that note i found it astonishing how little the 2023 truce / ceasefire was reported on....as if the world was supposed to think that the war was permanently ongoing....
Only people who kept a close eye on developments knew that saudi pretty much accepted the new borders drawn by the houthis...kind of paving the way for a future seperated yemen.

Despite Yemen being in quite a mess atm, many people from East Africa still undertake the dangerous voyage from the horn to aden or other places in the south.
Yemen is seen as a transit point to the other gulf states.
The death toll is not often talked about.
Other sources report 45 casualties, with the death toll likely to rise, as more people are still missing.

Also sad for aid efforts for the people of yemen.
Import costs have skyrocketed over the past few months with insurance, staffing and docking costs going up and up.
Aid to yemen is simply getting too expensive for those brave sailors who haven't been scared away by the houthis.
But that's nothing new - using hunger as a weapon of war .

Hudeidah is one of the few ports left to get foreign aid and food deliveries into the country. It is the only functioning bigger port that can handle substantial shipping in the houthi controlled areas. It was out of action for a while after its cranes were damaged, but has been just about up and running for the last year or so.
Situated on the red sea opposite djibouti it is also important for houthi naval actions, hence the saudi US sea blockade focussed mainly on the area around it.
Within yemen, it us connected to sanaa by one of the few straight paved roads in the north of the country.
It is also connected to mokha and addn governate in the south west.
Many yemenis rely heavily on hodeida for food imports, its fishing industry, goods, etc etc.
Hence the control of hodeida is of huge strategic importance and yemenis can't afford ti lose it is an infrastructure.
If yemenis are not starved and used as disposable pawns by the houthis, they are used as such by outside international players.
A lot of northern yemenis of all ages have little choice but to join militias for existential reasons.

Earlier on in the year the PLC tried to put economical pressure on the houthis by ordering all banks located in houthi controlled areas (inc islamic and private banks) to move their headquarters to Aden.
There were several reasons for this - to even out the discrepancy of the rial between the north and the south and to bleed the houthis of fiscal recourses and means to trade internationally were probably the main ones.
It's worth remembering that the houthis are not strapped for cash and have managed tokeepp the value of the rial fairly stable, compared to the south.
Many banks did not comply with this order and refused to move, which was answered with imposed sanctions by the plc, which in term were largely ignored by banks and other trade orgs.
This order by the plc was widely criticised by traders via businesses all the way up ti the UN as it was seen as unfair, cruel and counter-productive in terms of aid distribution and fiscal flow.
The decision was reversed yesterday, allowing the houthis to work more independently from the south and controlling big chunks of the banking sector.
Another step towards a 2 state solution?
