But how and from where?

You can call me Al

I know that, but there are still a few accuate sentances / paragraphs.

1. Yemeni politics are incredibly complex and volatile—rather than get drawn into a quagmire against an enemy they hardly know, the United States and its partners should get serious about finding a political solution.

2. First and foremost, the Houthis are Zaydi Shiites, or Zaydiyyah. Shiite Muslims are the minority community in the Islamic world and Zaydis are a minority of Shiites, significantly different in doctrine and beliefs from the Shiites who dominate in Iran, Iraq, and elsewhere (often called Twelvers for their belief in twelve Imams).

3. The Houthis have made fighting corruption the centerpiece of their political program, at least nominally + In short, they are a very different sect than the Iranian version of Shiism that Americans have come to know since the 1979 Iranian revolution.

4. Almost three years later, the Saudi air and naval blockade of Houthi-controlled territory has created a humanitarian disaster, with millions of Yemenis at dire risk of starvation and disease. The Saudi-led coalition has tightened the blockade and gradually gained more territory, although Hadi has little if any control over the territory recovered from the rebels. He resides in Riyadh.

and so on and so on…. for some BS site, it is a rather good piece.

Brookings institute is a right-wing rag

neil barron

Obviously you don’t live in the U.S. the Brooking Institute is a leftist construct from the beginning 1918 all one has to do is read their stated goals and rolls. As with all leftist Marxist and Communist they do anything to reach their stated goal. That is why we elected Trump to drain the swamp of D.C. No more Odumbazz, no more Hitlery, working on the rest of the purveyors of the swamp right now. Not a peep out of that mind set of the Brookings Institute.

john
