Dr. Cassagranda's lecture on Yemen is very informative, for me it was a new thing that Israel was the aggressor in first two attacks, I thought the first blood was dropped by Arab county. Second now I understand that why Syria has always looked to Russia for support.
You'd be surprised by the things Israel had a thing in, the aggression it started and ensued. But such things are always hidden and never talked about in the media and barely online because it's not trendy to talk about the truth when it comes to Israel. I say this impartially. Because every country and government is a piece of shit in the end, no matter what it is. But Israel is always at the top of the shit list.
As a Muslim woman I thank you for all the lights that you bring on what happened in the Muslim land in the past 100 years or so. I am really sorry that and grateful to you got this vicarious trauma from the research that you had to impose on yourself to uncover these truths. May you be rightly guided and blessed for all as a blessing for your endeavors!
I'm Egyptian. My late grandfather was actually a Yemen war veteran. He told me that they really didn't know who to fight. He didn't tell me a lot about the war, but it became obvious to me that he was traumatized by it. The only story he told me is that they found a Yemeni guy strolling by them, when he reported it to his superiors, they told him to get rid of him (since they had no way of knowing whether or not he was an enemy). He couldn't do it, but one of his colleagues does it. He never told another story of his time in the war. He was a very intellectual man, not really a soldier. Egypt has obligatory military service since the time of Mohamed Ali, the founder of modern Egypt.
@@brudamonas8208 I would like to think of myself as an intellectual, so I'm against all forms of theocracy, including the Muslim Brotherhood. However, I"m also against brutally killing them and removing them by force from power after they were democratically elected. The current Egyptian president is much worse than the Muslim Brotherhood in my opinion.
@@mohamedsamy1431 But if you are really an intellectual you wouldn't make a blank statement like that. The statement itself isn't intellectual at all. I do hope you grow in your knowledge.
This is the most enlightening video I have ever watched with regards to the situation of my country. It’s amazing how US tyranny created the kernel of all these modern social and political problem. The enemy is clear.
Great lecture, I enjoyed it, and Dr. Casagrande is fun to listen to. As a yemeni, he had some details wrong though. But i can see his viewpoint as an outsider
I wish I was his student when I was going to college. He's got a natural talent for teaching, I felt that was actually traveling through time. What an amazing journey. Thank you!
Greetings from Yemen, I just stumbled across a lecture of yours appeared on my recommendation and now I nearly finished listening to all of them, I enjoyed every second, thank you for making them online. need more please, wish you all the best. Btw, it's the opposite, 3/4 are sunnis in Yemen, also Saudis and UAE had a part in supporting Alli Saleh who supported Huthis who are the minority to enter sana'a and overthrow the new weak government Actually it's more complex nearly in all Arab spring countries Saudis and UAE had part in making things unstable.. you need to dig deeper regarding this part
@@Spirit5Smilehe's right though. You can start with who is sponsoring RSF in Sudan and why. You can look into who is occupying Socotra and why. Saudi is sitting these ones out.
It was the muslim brotherhood "Islah party" who first alliance with the Huthies to nock off Saleh and asked his vice Hadi to officially apologise for the lunching six war on them. But that was ok with every body then. But when Saleh alliance with them just to defend Yemen against a foreign attack he is the bad guy now. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Spirit5Smile a human is always a learner plus that's not history, it's the current times plus I live there plus there are a lot of easily reachable "independent" documents backing up this. History is more complicated to dig deeper than the current times especially regarding the losing side, and the current times will be later history, we need to make sure it's recorded correctly.
@@astroflyinsights "Actually it's more complex nearly in all Arab spring countries Saudis and UAE had part in making things unstable" why throw in saudi then? this anti-saudi propaganda is so odd
Awesome professor.... cleared so many doubts and a new enlightenment for me... Thanks to the channel for availing such a engrossing and insightful video from Prof Roy.
highly recommended Dr Roy history lectures to be included it in the national curriculum for A-LEVELS. So the swathe of generations are well informed about the events took place in the past which have shape their respective countries in good or bad states.
Correction with all due respect for the professor sunni population is 65 percent and zaidi shia is less like 35 or something depending on Google and wepekidi
Dr. Casagranda's description of the strange friends comprising the Coalition forces sounds very much like, "Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."
Absolutely, we tend to forget the that pillaging is common practice during civil war. But I sometimes feel like there could be a better way to affect change. I wish we find out what it is, if it exists.
لكن هل تعرف من الذي أوجد الفوضى لكي يبرر إسقاط مرسي؟ وهل لو أشعل الإخوان اليوم الفوضى في مصر ومسكوا السلطة سوف ترضى بهم حكاما وتتخلى عن العسكر؟ أعرف أن إجابتك هي: لا.. لهذا أنصحك أن تراجع قناعاتك ومبادئك.
Dr Casagranda, please don't have negative sentiments. The resolve of human beings is remarkable beyond comprehension and these failed states will come bouncing back. I am from South Africa and we are proof that you can work thru trauma. We still have a lot of issues to deal with, but we dealing with it in a compassionate manner.
Correction: Shia in Yemen is 10% at most. But the majority Sunnies allyed with them against the common enemy (Saudi, USA & Israel) that is why they succeeded so far. Thanks
There are many flaws in his narritive around Yemen since the 1994 onwards, the south of yemen is not actually held by millitary power but by tribal affilations. and around 80% of Yemenies are Sunni Muslims, and the 20% are Zaidis which is a very different sect than shia. Salah was not hit with a rocket but and IED was placed in the worship place he was in and he was forced to resgin in Saudia. There are many flaws in your reading professor I hope you re-visit your references
thank you for the lectures although in some lectures there are some miner details that need to be corrected other than that thank you for the beautiful informational lectures Dr.Roy
The students are like lifeless zombies how do you teach people like Roy? Maybe you should try using canned laughter so these seemingly lifeless young people know when it's time to laugh. I wish you would pan the camera angle so we could see their beaming intelligence on their faces.
It is a unique perspective from an empathetic American but there are so many basic mistakes.. First of all there was no revolution in most of the GCC countries because surprisingly for Westernsthe people are very loyal to their leaders. I am from the UAE and i got know hush hush money to stay quiet so i am not sure where you got this information. Secondly Sheia in Yemen are a minority and ali saleh who controls the army backed them up to spite the elected government. Houthis ended up killing ali saleh. However the basic information of sheia sunni percentage should be verified before giving a whole presentation about the country
It was more like 150 people who protested in the UAE. If I remember correctly. Anyway a protest in UAE wouldn’t pan out like in Egypt. Cause your there you definitely know why. Their lives are far beyond basic necessities it’s luxury and am truly happy for them. I just wish they would make life easier to all those expats. And Yemeni Shia are a lot if you consider Zaidees as Shia
he was also wrong about Egypt’s revolution. he says Egyptians “elected the wrong candidate” twice, but really it’s quite clear that the military (eg Mubarak & Sisi) were always in power anyway. The election (there was only one fair election - which Morsi won) was pointless, and Morsi never really had any power.
Professor you said all of this (back in 2019) but then at the end (of this talk) you said "we've picked the wrong side again", why pick a side to begin with? Sometimes (a lot of the times perhaps) we shouldn't.
Every sources available say Shia is not the majority in Yemen. It is 65% Sunni and 35% Shia who now rule Yemen. Still it is better than Syria where 15% Shia minority is the ruler. Believe me, minority ruling over majority will never work. It only could because someone help propping it up. But there will be war forever.
Nice lecture. One thing though. You never once mentioned the non-aligned movement that Naser helped to establish. Were they in your view that insignificant?
He's very funny. Yes, it's horrible to even hear about, but if there aren't funny jokes, crying into a coma is a possibility. I hope the trauma he (and the people he's reading about and researching) eases and things get better.
Appreciate the efforts of Professor There are many useful and interrelated facts But there is a mistake The people in Egypt did not revolt against President Morsi, but rather the remnants of the followers of the former regime of Hosni Mubarak, with the help of the army, Sisi internally, Israel, America, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia externally, then Sisi carried out a military coup and was not elected.
i really like your lecturing style. However, I am curious to know the references that said US funded Muslim Brotherhood. As far as my reading goes on Hassan Al banna writings, he didn't get any funding from other countries, except from their people. That was the teaching of ukhuwwah (brotherhood).but then, i might be bias, hence i would like to know on your references.
Correction !!! Yemenis Shia are a minority representation less than 3% but there is around 30% of zaidis which are much closer to Sunnis than Shia . And houthis wasn’t a revolution but rather a coup against the government that they signed a peace deal and political agreement but turned against it and broke a deal with Ali Abudallh the former dictator that fought houthis for 6 wars . With Ali saleh ambitions to get back in power and houthis hope for power. And Iran hope to install puppet governments in Yemen 🇾🇪 we end up with civil war
The relationship between the US and middle east is like that of a sadistic dog owner... damn how tame is this dog? But more important question is will it lose it's mind and bite the owner.
One correction, nothing happened in Algeria during the 2011 Arab spring. Algeria had its revolt against the military rule in 1988 but the military reorganized a coup d'etat in 1991 when people voted for an islamiste party in the parliamentary elections in 1990.
Let's ignore the fact that 50% of the Yemeni people are Sunna, the Yemeni shia are Zaydia Shia, which are FAR closer religiously to Sunna that the Extremest 12er Shia. In fact the 12er Shia consider them disbelevers, and they consider the 12ers the disbelevers too. The 5% Jarudie Shia are allied militarily allied with the 12ers of Iran, and thanks to Obama's nuclear deal with iran, Iran was able to spend all all it's income on the Jarodies (AKA "huthi" rebels), along with hizbolla in Lebanon. Beond killing the population, the huthis capture Saudi and international humanitarian aid, and sell it for weapons and force labor. That, along with holding the oil tanker in disrepair of their cost, and using it as an ecological time bomb, by blocking all efforts to repair it, before it spills it's oil into the Arabian and red seas
The views here on this video shows how people are not willing to get free knowledge or history. The more you learn from history the better you fix or steer your future to the right side.
He is either not as knowledgeable about Yemen or isn't really interested as he is about other subjects in the Middle East. Aside from the lack of thorough analysis about Yemen and the conflict with Saudi Arabia which goes back to the establishment os the Saudi entity, he sidetracks to talk about everything else but Yemen and the whole lecture has just a few minutes about Yemen in it. Very disappointing.
This is one of the greatest history lectures 👍👍👍👍 I've ever heard. Please do not change your occupation, you are a real historian
51:44 Except there are no concentration camps in India, or China. So, if he lies about this, what else is he lying about?

True, & the houthis aren't even the right representation of shias in yeman.
And the shias in yemen are zaydi, not the same as other shias and not that different from the sunnis

Your arabic accent is superb👍🏼
I've learnt more from this lecture than 100 mainstream media "news"
Where can I find his lecture on Iran?
No Yemen is only 35% Shia, and 65% Sunni!!
I was completely on board until I heard that ruined statistic.
An excellent lecture. I enjoyed this.
But I can't believe that Dr Casagranda suggested that Trump may have read a book.

Sunnis are 70 % in yemen not 25% .. hothies are less than 25% , i like your way but to say a fundmental information like this wrong ,, i m sad
Yeah even though he has a great way of laying out a lecture...some of historical information are way off!
How do these guys have no questions? I had so many
Every sources available say Shia is not the majority in Yemen.
It is 65% Sunni and 35% Shia who now rule Yemen. Still it is better than Syria where 15% Shia minority is the ruler.
Believe me, minority ruling over majority will never work. It only could because someone help propping it up. But there will be war forever.
You are correct, Shia are a minority in Yemen. Yeah like in Iraq when the minority Sunni ruled.
so I could not find the lecture on syria that he was talking about . Can anyone share it if he did the lecture ? Thanks

What made me less impressed about this lecture is when Dr Roy stated that most Yemen is Shias. It certainly NOT!!
Please make one about Oman and the revolution of dhofar wich and the war crime there between 1968 and 1973
Nice lecture. One thing though. You never once mentioned the non-aligned movement that Naser helped to establish. Were they in your view that insignificant?
I think he went into a little more detail about it in us foreign policy part two
I think, I dont remember
He's very funny. Yes, it's horrible to even hear about, but if there aren't funny jokes, crying into a coma is a possibility.
I hope the trauma he (and the people he's reading about and researching) eases and things get better.
Lol
Appreciate the efforts of Professor There are many useful and interrelated facts
But there is a mistake
The people in Egypt did not revolt against President Morsi, but rather the remnants of the followers of the former regime of Hosni Mubarak, with the help of the army, Sisi internally, Israel, America, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia externally, then Sisi carried out a military coup and was not elected.
Who cares? Non-Muslims are persecuted there.
I think that anybody with a inquisitive mind will be suffering from PTSD at this juncture
Yes

The US inherited from the UK who started it.
Surprised that Iran’s great influence on the Houthis and the Shia people not mentioned.
So depressing 😢😢😢😢

OMG! This is intense! I didn't know Egypt profited of US aid to Israel! Thanks for informing us.
52:08 you said majority of Yemenis are Shia... 3 quarters? Wiki is saying its 42% shia and 56% sunni... this is a factual error on your video
I'm living in the UAE, what you said had happened in 2011 never did
i really like the way you are telling stories but if I may say that Yemeni majority is sunni first incorrect information from u
What's the source?
@@fireh3211yemenis lol
Correction !!!
Yemenis Shia are a minority representation less than 3% but there is around 30% of zaidis which are much closer to Sunnis than Shia .
And houthis wasn’t a revolution but rather a coup against the government that they signed a peace deal and political agreement but turned against it and broke a deal with Ali Abudallh the former dictator that fought houthis for 6 wars .
With Ali saleh ambitions to get back in power and houthis hope for power. And Iran hope to install puppet governments in Yemen 🇾🇪 we end up with civil war
Can you do Libya too please?
Or Sudan
Dear Dr. Casagranda, Why humans don’t learn from history and doomed to repeat it?

Does anyone have Tylenol or ibuprofen
Hello.
Some mistakes and errors you need to fix in your analysis , like per example the active role of the US in the " Arab Spring" ,
I played Doom for weeks and never got PTSD
