Thank you. I have studied foreign policy in the Middle East for over 30 years and Saudi Arabia had muddled the picture of the Yemenite Civil War picturing it as a war between religion, which it isn't. This video is a very good introductory course into Yemenite affairs and recent history.
What do you think Iran doing in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and even some Coup d'état attempt in Gulf States? How long do you see Iranian priest talking about their ambition, come on their video is everywere. Studied foreign policy without involved yourself direcly in Arabs world (min: the languange) is show to me you know nothing about ME.
I mean yes and no. Iran may not have backed the Houthis, but the enmity between Sunnis and the Zaydis dates back centuries. The Zaydi sect of Shia Islam rejected the 6th Imam because he wasn’t someone who fought for “truth and justice” in their eyes. To the Al-Saud family, having such a nation on their borders represents a massive threat.
In some places like Yemen religion, ethnicity, and political loyalty all have the lines blurred. The Shia are usually closer to Iran and are often non Arab. Religion doesn't offer the main motivation much less the sole one, but it's a factor since it's also tied to political loyalty and it's tied to the ethnic groups

Data mongers want data, not detail. Turns out when the Global Hegemony funds, and arms a smaller regional clan over the rest, problems arise. Whoa. Deep.
While I agree that Yemen is definitely a major humanitarian disaster, I'm not sure one can really say it's the largest since WW2. For instance humanitarian catastrophes like the Chinese Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, or the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and their killing fields; would seem to loom quite large. I do hope Yemen manages to find a peace it can live with though. And hopefully that they can find some stability and prosperity in their future.
@@ALIKN1-1 Considering I already made several suggestions on which in my comment, I can but conclude you only glanced at my comment and did not properly read it, or are trying to troll.
@@marcofava I suppose it's a possible interpretation? Though clearly not how I understood it at the time. Though even then you get complexities because Yemen started more as an internal matter for instance. And even if we think in purely external matters, one can wonder how for instance Vietnam or Afghanistan would have rated in all this. Afghanistan for instance is a gargantuan humanitarian disaster stretched out over generations. With the Soviets killing and displacing people by the millions early on already.
Firstly because it's a very old conflict with no end in sight. Second because it's a very complicated issue and the masses are too dumb or don't care enough to learn about it. Both make it terrible for viewership numbers. Not hard to see why it's largely ignored.
@Abdullah al-Busniyy You obviously don't live in the west. So your opinion about this issue seems to be very inaccurate. The actual war in Ukraine isn't even a year old yet it almost NEVER makes headline news anymore. It only popped up recently due to the counter offensive. If a conflict that recent barely reaches mainstream TV, why the hell do you think a non western war that is a decade old should? I'm just calling it how it is. Do you think anyone in Yemen gives a shit about Ukraine? No, they are too busy with their own issues. That's how the world works. Also like you said, the geopolitical struggle of Yemen has zero consequence to the west. Unlike Ukraine causing massive gas and grain shortages. Yet the actual war in Ukraine is still largely ignored and put in tier 2 written articles at best. Nobody except a very small minority reads or cares about what is actually happening in the war. They only care about how it impacts them. Which is why news outlets don't bother broadcasting anything else.
into_play You would think so, but I challenge you to name at least three of the ongoing wars happening on the African continent. Many wars have been going on for years in various parts of Africa, with humanitarian crises and massive losses of human life. I get the feeling that the war in Yemen is much more on people's minds than any war in Africa, save the conflict on the Horn of Africa.
@Abdullah al-Busniyy Ukrainian war is much simpler. There are only 2 sides and a clear division between “the good” and “the evil” and the religion is completely not involved. While there are at least 3 sides in the Yemen war with religion involvement and it’s not very clear who are “the good guys” in this situation. You can kind of spot “the bad guys”, but will their withdrawal end the war and will the population of Yemen be happy with the result? Especially when the religion is involved - it never makes it simpler.
It's crazy the level of information that I have access to. My mother, a very successful data analyst at the C level, had no idea about anything outside Ohio. I remember asking her about the Iraq invasion when it started and she genuinely knew nothing about even where Iraq was. Compared to now, I know in depth details from issues ranging from the coup in Myanmar, detailed analysis of the Ukraine war and wars such as this video. Really revolutionary access to information.
This summery of the war in Yemen is sweepingly comprehensive and at the same time succinct. It is one of the most complex events of our time and you managed to explain all of the major actors in a way that is informative and engaging. I plan on watching this two or three times in order to really get a handle on all the changing actors in this conflict. GTBT keeps delivering the goods!
People like to talk about how the West never shows as much interest in these conflicts as Ukraine. But I think it comes down to the fact that it’s a clear good vs evil struggle. I have no idea even after watching this video which side I’m supposed to be going for in Yemen.
@@alokozay300 Yes. Even when Russia initially attacked in 2014, there was not popular support for the attack. There was enough to muddy the waters, which backs up my point even more - it was not so clearly good vs evil. However, the current invasion has led to Ukrainians living in LPR/DPR abandoning Russian and trying to learn Ukrainian. That shows you that they do not support Russia any more - even if they did previously. Mass mobilisation to use Ukrainians as cannon fodder against their own countrymen will do that. The fact that administration in Crimea is having to implement legislation to ban the playing of Ukrainian music tells an interesting story as well.
I met a man in college from Yemen and loved learning about his culture. He's back in Yemen, and I think of him often. He's much braver than me, and I hope one day soon the people of Yemen will experience the peace and joy they deserve.
Fantastic report. I did not know how complex the issue with Yemen was and especially how many people have died. A true catastrophe. But it is also very sad how responsible the Yemeni groups themselves are for their own mess.
Love how you left out Houthi atrocities. You’re inference of saudi wanting a destabilized is wholly in accurate. Also I love how you left out Houthi claims over 2 Saudi provinces. Love how you left out the 2009 Saudi Houthi conflict. Where Houthis crossed the saudi border killing 2 border patrols officers.
@FAHADFOX I love how you left out Saudi air strikes on funerals, weddings, hospital, sanitation facilities etc.. I love how you left out what your prince said at the start of the war when he said it will only take a couple of weeks to free Yemen from the houthis 😂and now we are about to enter the eight year of the war. I love how you left you how those 3 and not 2 provinces do historically and culturally belong to Yemen “ Jazan, Asir, Najran” . Also I love how you left out Saudi long history of enmity towards Yemen ever since the first Saudi state two centuries ago when they invaded Hejaz and parts of Yemen.
Tell me about how the people of Najran Assir, and Jazan, want to be part of Yemen. Tell me more about Houthis indiscriminate shelling of schools and civilian infrastructure in both Yemen and saudi. Mate, war is sad, and should never be downplayed. Saudi was pushed to this war. The houthis started it, no amount of spin can change this fact
@@FAHADFOX if Yemen was safe from foreign meddling from the gulf states and Iran and the economy was good the people of those provinces will choose Yemen over the wahhabis in Riyadh. You said they were “ pushed to this war “ ?? Then what are they doing in all other Arabs countries from Tunisia, Libya to Syria, Iraq and Sudan why are they supporting all those tyrants. Why are they imprisoning activists and cutting others to pieces in their country and pushing other dictators to do the same ?? These are some Sick people man. Just watch with the things going throughout the Arab world from the misrule of those tyrants and the hyper inflation from Ukraine Russia war the Arab spring will be nothing compared to what’s coming up if this continues on.
11:04 - 11:20 as a yemeni i doubt that dude, but everything u said before 11:00 was pretty good and accurate so far. 11:48 nope the south weren't communists at that time (also saudi's are in the right for helping the south get their right i.e the right to separate back to south arabia). 12:13 aint no way you jus said that islah is not a friend of Saudi, they work with them cause they are part of the political power in yemen. 12:58 no one sees this war as a religious war between sunni and shia, it just defending the peninsula against the actives of iran, the only one that count this war as religious is none but the Houthi's . 13:19 that's why i don't like when people try to speak about religious stuff without understanding, anyways no there's a religious bond between iran and the Houthi's. 13:48 was not exaggerated at all 16:10 just no 19:11 1- they pulled out of socatra 2-they still take very much great care of the people of the island more than yemen every did! 19:16 The separatists clashed with gov forces because of what the gov forces was doing, gov forces barley did anything in those 8 years all the south was freed mostly because of the south forces 19:29 that doesn't make sense ! what about what the Houthis were and are doing? what about what salah did? what about the years and years of neglect of the yemeni government towards its people? the second part of the video was you trying to paint saudi as the villain complete disregarding the pain and disasters cause and felt by the pro-iran Houthis
no, this guy made baseless claims and used biased sources backed by the west which we all know have their own agenda like we've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan .
To me Yemen has always been interesting in that you can see the transition towards Africa in its people and ecology, even the tropical diseases and political instability with a history of colonialism!!
Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, China were colonized yet they became 1st world country, keep blaming colonialism when the responsibility lies in y emens tribalism, religon and culture.
As a Yemeni, without watching I can assure you peace is not in the horizon, our neighbors KSA, UAE, and Oman are putting wood in the fire. This war has eaten my young years, my dreams, and hops. Not only me, and Yemeni people like me.. in a nutshell, THERE IS NO HOPE of peace at least for the next few decades..
They need a moderate secular government that can give fair representation to all of Yemen's people, both Shia and Sunni. All throughout the Middle East, people need to respect others' right to their own thoughts and beliefs. Government and laws should protect people from violence, theft, and oppression. Government and laws should not assist in oppression or discrimination. People need the freedom to seek truth in their own ways. People should also be free to share their knowledge with others, and if one disagrees with another, it must be settled by debate and discussion, not violent persecution.
@@alpFiLa Hmmm… Every religion seems to have that kind of debate. The orthodox version of the faith calls the reformed version “not true members” or heretics. Jews never had the political power to officially persecute heretics in the past and are just barely persecuting now (only in Israel and in isolated communities). Christians got over their persecution of heretics a couple hundred years ago, and have mostly even moved past persecuting other religions since the 1950s (though some are still bigoted). Muslims overall are currently way behind on this progress, and still have countries like the Maldives and Iran, that officially persecute anyone not following the government prescribed religion…
@@_Painted look in Islam to be Muslim you have to believe Allah and All of his messengers and obey him and that Muhammad pbuh is the last messenger of Allah and follow the teachings of prophet Muhammad and all other sects that claim to be Muslim commit acts of heresy don't follow the teachings of prophet Muhammad pbuh 100% and it's said in end times most shia will leave shiasim and follow the Antichrist and Jews of Israel
Quite a good video mate👌🏻 tho I’m left with a question as a half Yemeni and half Russian dude in 2022 - do I technically qualify as an orphan of the American dream by now ?😂
Orphan of world geopolitics. The orphans of the american dream are probably the latin americans that want to enter US but because of strict immigration rules are forced to look help from the cartels and human trafficers and in the best case happen to find themself as illegal immigrants in US. Never sure when they might be deported.
@@hobinrood710 I pity them and feel bad about myself because I'm not sympathetic. I'm not emotionally capable of empathy for anyone I don't have a personal relationship with. American male culture trained me to not feel empathy for strangers.
@@ahmedthabt5539 They might not, I can always wish I was a better person though. Frankly I doubt anyone in a conflict zone cares what we think, they care about what we can do.
You can't feel bad about everything. While I write this terrible things are happening to human beings all around the world. Do I care about any of them? I can't. No person has the mental capacity to give sympathy to every terrible thing in this world.
"Biggest humanitarian disaster since the Second World War" is a big stretch if there's even any way to argue it. I can believe that it's the biggest ongoing one, and I imagine it's worse than whatever was happening _in the region_ _during_ WW2, though (seeing as North Yemen was neutral and South Yemen was just a rather out of the way British Colony), and maybe even since.
@Nicolai Myshkin *Nothing in Yemen that I know of* (maybe the British recruited or drafted people in the South or in Aden, and the North had a "Friendship Treaty" with Italy, though they didn't do anything because of it, and I imagine the economy was disrupted one way or the other), but practically every actual part in WW2 was a humanitarian disaster. The whole thing was like one giant war crime. It was like every country suddenly decided killing people indiscriminately was the way to do things. That's why it is generally considered to be the deadliest conflict in world history, killing more people than all the Mongol conquests put together, certainly if you include coinciding and related events like the Holocaust or even the Bengal Famine, and also more than other major catastrophes like the "Great Leap Forward" famine that happened later. There was also quite a lot of violence in years immediately after and before WW2, such as the Chinese Civil War and associated catastrophe, the Partition of India, Stalin's Purges, the Spanish Civil War, Italian Imperialism, and instability in colonies like in SE Asia, and also apparently a major famine in the USSR even after the war (besides the one's during and before the war, like the Ukrainian Famine), and in fact I think such problems were common during and after the war. As for things since WW2 in Yemen, like most of the world, it of course has struggled with poverty and technological (e.g. medical) backwardness it's had to rise from (and like most of the world, in the long term it will probably continue to improve eventually even beyond what we have now in "developed countries"). The Northern Kingdom accepted Soviet aid and then purged communists, there was a pan-Arabist republican (anti-monarchist) revolution in the North, and a communist revolution in the British protectorate in the South. Then there were two wars between the North and South in 1972 and 1979, and then a civil war in the South in 1986, before reunification with the North in 1990, then, between 1990 and 2011 there was of course already violence between the government, the Socialists, Al Qaeda, and the Houthis, though obviously probably not nearly as bad as after 2011. As for things since WW2 in general, there have been been a few major terrible things that I think outweigh Yemen. I already mentioned the "Great Leap Forward" famine, and you can mention plenty of other Chinese things, like killings of landlords. There was also the Second Congo War (and other Congo Wars and genocides in Rwanda Burundi, and maybe the Congo), the Korean War, the Indochina Wars (including the "Vietnam War" and that time the Democratic Kampuchea Regime killed a fifth of Cambodia), the Nigerian Civil War, the Sudanese civil wars, the Soviet-Afghan War, the North Korean regime (and maybe also sanctions against it), the fall of the Soviet Union and associated famines and wars, and actually probably plenty of other things. (I mostly stuck to things given a geometric mean death count above 1 million by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll . Of course, death toll is not the only way to measure how bad something is, even if you count things like hunger and disease, but I'm pretty sure that these other conflicts were associated with plenty of the same other problems as the Yemeni Civil War is. Also, I imagine I could easily have mentioned plenty of supposedly NON-anthropogenic disasters, like epidemics and poverty.)
It’s impossible for me to follow all these endless fighting with different ever changing groups… They all seem like snakes to me, like that ruler stated.
Hey babe, new GTBT video dropped, wake up let's watch Babe? Edit: babe apparently has strong feelings about Socotra and ambitions to found a nation there.. Romantic getaway date idea?
As a yemeni I can confirm that we are living the consequences of the former system that ruled by Ali Abdullah Saleh and his allies for the past 40 years he managed to dissolve any hope for development in Yemen by corrupting each section in the government and destroying the meaning of respecting of literacy and education The last Hope any Nation on Earth can do they are hopeless. And what I meant by allies I meant Saudi Arabia I'm gonna say it I'm not going to blame other countries or other systems that ruined my country but the role of Saudi Arabia inside my country so significant .it can't be denied.
I have to correct some information. I am saudi arabian so take this however you well but I know what I am talking about. first, there no evidence for king abdulaziz saying what is claimed in the video. the claim was first invented by the revolutionary yemeni officers and their egyptian supporters as propaganda against the zaidi monarchy and its supporters backed by saudi arabia during the 60s. fun fact, the zaidi yemeni monarchs and their descendants are now citizens of saudi arabia since they were overthrown. second, the UAE has no garrison in socotra. the hadi gov asked saudi arabia to garrison it instead of UAE. As I see it, the saudi arabian goal was to force Saleh to switch sides again and drive the houthi out of sanaa just as he allowed them in. he did switch sides but was unsuccessful and the houthis offed him. the Saudi goal now is to keep the anti houthi side from fighting each other while finding away to force the houthis out of the western coast. the first one is more difficult ironically but driving the houthis out of the western coast is possible but there is huge opposition to it internationally especially from Britain they say it's for humanitarian reasons but its geopolitical and the british have old interests in yemen both north and south.
I clicked on this video straight away. As dire as the situation is in Ukraine, the war in Yemen constitutes a huge humanitarian crisis which the US has direct influence over due to its military aid it provides to Saudi and UAE. It absolutely needs coverage as it is invisible in MSM.
Question. Back in the 1990s, the United States won a war in Bosnia without committing a single ground troop, just with air power alone. Basically, the Bosnians used their own army, and we just lent them our air force. And it worked, the USA/Bosnia won. So why did the USA succeed in Bosnia when Saudi Arabia attempted pretty much the same thing in Yemen and failed? Thanks to the generosity of American taxpayers, Saudia Arabia has one of the best air forces in the world. How come that air force, plus the pro-government Yemeni soldiers on the ground, couldn't win the war, the way we did in Bosnia 20 years earlier? Why?
A very bad take, you really have sided with the Iranian perspective on this matter and completely disregarded the extent to which Iran has backed, supported and funded the houthis. This idea of saudi wanting an "unstable" yemen makes no sense whatsoever. What saudi is trying to accomplish is free their backyard from the iranian grasp which they have unfortunately failed to do so.

@@Chuyew also answering your question, they funded the houthis through giving them lots and LOTS of arms, how much its hard to estimate try and research that maybe you'll find a number
@ItsEarth! That’s what they were called before the unification in 1992. Northern Yemen “ Yemen Arab Republic” , Southern Yemen “ People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen “ . I know that the map shows What appears to be East and West Yemen but the majority of the population 80-90 % lives in Northern Yemen and Southern Yemen population 10-20% lives mostly in the western portion of South Yemen right under northern Yemen . Maybe that’s why they were named North and South Yemen.
We can see the greed of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia in Yemen by taking the Emirates to the island of Socotra, although it has nothing to do with the ongoing war.
And most important of all, I hope that we focus on the hundreds of thousands of Yemenis who died of children and women due to the indiscriminate bombing carried out by the Gulf states on Yemen, which was supposed to be in order to destroy Yemeni weapons, but they destroyed the infrastructure and killed many, and this is what made many non-Zaydi Yemenis To join the Houthis in order to protect the country
@iambetterKSA Your right Iran has a lot to do with the conflict in Yemen and so does Saudi Arabia and UAE. But also you can’t sweep under the rug the fact that Saudi Arabia has been in conflict with Yemen ever since the first Saudi State about 2 centuries ago and for them to just intervene with a “ Good Intent” . When your plane bombs FUNERALS, WEDDINGS, SANITATION FACILITIES etc… Along with the air and sea blockade of the whole country don’t come in and say the that this a “bias attempt “ in explaining the war in Yemen 😅.
Fun fact the same year hutis took Sana'a the capital of yemen Both of the USA embassy and Saudi embassy were there and the relations between them were perfect Actually hutis made a proposal to the Americans and Saudi to be there ally and fight against terrorism in the middle east. So don't be fooled if u think that hutis are loyals to their country Nope they are mercenary's
There is a lot of incorrect information. Firstly, in the war for liberation from the rule of the Imam in the north, it was because of the free officers who made the revolution and liberated the north, not Ali Abdullah Saleh. Secondly, when Ansar Allah took control of Sana’a in 2014, it was because Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi was Whoever armed them and brought them in to carry out an operation similar to combing the country from the family of Ali Abdullah Saleh, because they were representing the opposition military forces, then when they took control of Sanaa, he fled to Saudi Arabia .We can see through the response of the Gulf states by bombing Yemen that all this was planned!!

Nobody except a very small minority reads or cares about what is actually happening in the war. They only care about how it impacts them. Which is why news outlets don't bother broadcasting anything else.
into_play You would think so, but I challenge you to name at least three of the ongoing wars happening on the African continent. Many wars have been going on for years in various parts of Africa, with humanitarian crises and massive losses of human life. I get the feeling that the war in Yemen is much more on people's minds than any war in Africa, save the conflict on the Horn of Africa.
@Abdullah al-Busniyy Ukrainian war is much simpler. There are only 2 sides and a clear division between “the good” and “the evil” and the religion is completely not involved. While there are at least 3 sides in the Yemen war with religion involvement and it’s not very clear who are “the good guys” in this situation. You can kind of spot “the bad guys”, but will their withdrawal end the war and will the population of Yemen be happy with the result? Especially when the religion is involved - it never makes it simpler.
It's crazy the level of information that I have access to. My mother, a very successful data analyst at the C level, had no idea about anything outside Ohio. I remember asking her about the Iraq invasion when it started and she genuinely knew nothing about even where Iraq was. Compared to now, I know in depth details from issues ranging from the coup in Myanmar, detailed analysis of the Ukraine war and wars such as this video. Really revolutionary access to information.
Peace be upon Yemen and her people.
This summery of the war in Yemen is sweepingly comprehensive and at the same time succinct. It is one of the most complex events of our time and you managed to explain all of the major actors in a way that is informative and engaging. I plan on watching this two or three times in order to really get a handle on all the changing actors in this conflict.
GTBT keeps delivering the goods!
Great video as always! Please post more! I look forward to these lol
People like to talk about how the West never shows as much interest in these conflicts as Ukraine. But I think it comes down to the fact that it’s a clear good vs evil struggle. I have no idea even after watching this video which side I’m supposed to be going for in Yemen.
The poor civilians as always
@@AbstractType1 Yeah, very useful. By very definition, civilians aren't the ones picking up guns and making the decisions.
You nailed it. Ukraine is the exception: a war where one side is obviously in the right.
@@isaacdalziel5772 you mean the people of Crimea/LPR/DPR right?
@@alokozay300 Yes. Even when Russia initially attacked in 2014, there was not popular support for the attack. There was enough to muddy the waters, which backs up my point even more - it was not so clearly good vs evil.
However, the current invasion has led to Ukrainians living in LPR/DPR abandoning Russian and trying to learn Ukrainian. That shows you that they do not support Russia any more - even if they did previously. Mass mobilisation to use Ukrainians as cannon fodder against their own countrymen will do that.
The fact that administration in Crimea is having to implement legislation to ban the playing of Ukrainian music tells an interesting story as well.
This is an extremely well made. Thank you for your hard-work.
I met a man in college from Yemen and loved learning about his culture. He's back in Yemen, and I think of him often. He's much braver than me, and I hope one day soon the people of Yemen will experience the peace and joy they deserve.
Great video, thank you
An excellent summary of the history of this conflict. Many thanks.
Thank you for covering this topic, I learned a lot
Good job on bringing up topics that are underreported. Keep up the truth
Another quality video.. as usual..
The Yemen crisis is not talked about ebough, so thank you for covering it
Fantastic report. I did not know how complex the issue with Yemen was and especially how many people have died. A true catastrophe. But it is also very sad how responsible the Yemeni groups themselves are for their own mess.
Amazing report! Thank you for your explanation!
Thanks for bringing us perspective
Im glad that I found this .. provided some well needed context
thank you brother
Very well done! Thank you!
Excellent video on a war not often talked about unfortunately, great job!
Power grab, plottwist betrayal, faction infighting.
We need a movie on this one.
Thanks. I did follow this conflict for some time, but did not dive much into details and historical background. Thank you for more detailed picture.
I have been confused by Yemen's history for a long time. Your video helped me a lot.
Excellent explanation mixing the region's history and wider geopolitical events. Thank you
Love how you left out Houthi atrocities.
You’re inference of saudi wanting a destabilized is wholly in accurate.
Also I love how you left out Houthi claims over 2 Saudi provinces.
Love how you left out the 2009 Saudi Houthi conflict. Where Houthis crossed the saudi border killing 2 border patrols officers.
@FAHADFOX I love how you left out Saudi air strikes on funerals, weddings, hospital, sanitation facilities etc.. I love how you left out what your prince said at the start of the war when he said it will only take a couple of weeks to free Yemen from the houthis 😂and now we are about to enter the eight year of the war. I love how you left you how those 3 and not 2 provinces do historically and culturally belong to Yemen “ Jazan, Asir, Najran” . Also I love how you left out Saudi long history of enmity towards Yemen ever since the first Saudi state two centuries ago when they invaded Hejaz and parts of Yemen.
Tell me about how the people of Najran Assir, and Jazan, want to be part of Yemen.
Tell me more about Houthis indiscriminate shelling of schools and civilian infrastructure in both Yemen and saudi.
Mate, war is sad, and should never be downplayed. Saudi was pushed to this war.
The houthis started it, no amount of spin can change this fact
@@FAHADFOX if Yemen was safe from foreign meddling from the gulf states and Iran and the economy was good the people of those provinces will choose Yemen over the wahhabis in Riyadh. You said they were “ pushed to this war “ ?? Then what are they doing in all other Arabs countries from Tunisia, Libya to Syria, Iraq and Sudan why are they supporting all those tyrants. Why are they imprisoning activists and cutting others to pieces in their country and pushing other dictators to do the same ?? These are some Sick people man. Just watch with the things going throughout the Arab world from the misrule of those tyrants and the hyper inflation from Ukraine Russia war the Arab spring will be nothing compared to what’s coming up if this continues on.

We need hourly updates on this.
This is a matter of utmost importance to humanity.
The important question is WHAT did you eat? PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED!!!
11:04 - 11:20 as a yemeni i doubt that dude, but everything u said before 11:00 was pretty good and accurate so far.
11:48 nope the south weren't communists at that time (also saudi's are in the right for helping the south get their right i.e the right to separate back to south arabia).
12:13 aint no way you jus said that islah is not a friend of Saudi, they work with them cause they are part of the political power in yemen.
12:58 no one sees this war as a religious war between sunni and shia, it just defending the peninsula against the actives of iran, the only one that count this war as religious is none but the Houthi's .
13:19 that's why i don't like when people try to speak about religious stuff without understanding, anyways no there's a religious bond between iran and the Houthi's.
13:48 was not exaggerated at all
16:10 just no
19:11 1- they pulled out of socatra 2-they still take very much great care of the people of the island more than yemen every did!
19:16 The separatists clashed with gov forces because of what the gov forces was doing, gov forces barley did anything in those 8 years all the south was freed mostly because of the south forces
19:29 that doesn't make sense ! what about what the Houthis were and are doing? what about what salah did? what about the years and years of neglect of the yemeni government towards its people?
the second part of the video was you trying to paint saudi as the villain complete disregarding the pain and disasters cause and felt by the pro-iran Houthis
You sum it bro

no, this guy made baseless claims and used biased sources backed by the west which we all know have their own agenda like we've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan .
To me Yemen has always been interesting in that you can see the transition towards Africa in its people and ecology, even the tropical diseases and political instability with a history of colonialism!!
All of the Middle East was colonized.
Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, China were colonized yet they became 1st world country, keep blaming colonialism when the responsibility lies in y emens tribalism, religon and culture.
"oh look a country with civil war, just like Africa!"
Wtf 😂😂
nice to see other conflicts being covered
Unfortunate timing. Few days ago the ceasefire was not extended and there are fears of the conflict sparking up again.
excellent recent history lesson
I've learn more about the Yemen conflict in 23min from this video than years of talking heads and news report
Please do one on the current Ethiopian conflict as well.
As a Yemeni, without watching I can assure you peace is not in the horizon, our neighbors KSA, UAE, and Oman are putting wood in the fire. This war has eaten my young years, my dreams, and hops. Not only me, and Yemeni people like me.. in a nutshell, THERE IS NO HOPE of peace at least for the next few decades..
Dam im yemeni to its not good to think like that
They need a moderate secular government that can give fair representation to all of Yemen's people, both Shia and Sunni. All throughout the Middle East, people need to respect others' right to their own thoughts and beliefs. Government and laws should protect people from violence, theft, and oppression. Government and laws should not assist in oppression or discrimination. People need the freedom to seek truth in their own ways. People should also be free to share their knowledge with others, and if one disagrees with another, it must be settled by debate and discussion, not violent persecution.
Should, should and should. How to achieve that?
Secular? No
Uniting sunnis and shias? Yes
Shia aren't Muslim
@@alpFiLa Hmmm… Every religion seems to have that kind of debate. The orthodox version of the faith calls the reformed version “not true members” or heretics. Jews never had the political power to officially persecute heretics in the past and are just barely persecuting now (only in Israel and in isolated communities). Christians got over their persecution of heretics a couple hundred years ago, and have mostly even moved past persecuting other religions since the 1950s (though some are still bigoted). Muslims overall are currently way behind on this progress, and still have countries like the Maldives and Iran, that officially persecute anyone not following the government prescribed religion…
@@_Painted look in Islam to be Muslim you have to believe Allah and All of his messengers and obey him and that Muhammad pbuh is the last messenger of Allah and follow the teachings of prophet Muhammad and all other sects that claim to be Muslim commit acts of heresy don't follow the teachings of prophet Muhammad pbuh 100% and it's said in end times most shia will leave shiasim and follow the Antichrist and Jews of Israel
Quite a good video mate👌🏻 tho I’m left with a question as a half Yemeni and half Russian dude in 2022 - do I technically qualify as an orphan of the American dream by now ?😂
Orphan of world geopolitics.
The orphans of the american dream are probably the latin americans that want to enter US but because of strict immigration rules are forced to look help from the cartels and human trafficers and in the best case happen to find themself as illegal immigrants in US. Never sure when they might be deported.
No. We have those here.
A lot of Americans get tossed to the wayside, before anyone in another country sees the tweet.
You’re half yemeni ? Do you understand this ?

Superficially at least, this looks SO much less biased than your coverage of Ukraine. I appreciate it.
What a mess! Very interesting but complex.
This conflict makes me feel like a bad person because I don't care about it.
Empathetic or sympathetic or pity?
@@hobinrood710 I pity them and feel bad about myself because I'm not sympathetic. I'm not emotionally capable of empathy for anyone I don't have a personal relationship with. American male culture trained me to not feel empathy for strangers.
@@scoobydoobers23 it's ok man, with things happening like that, i don't think they would actually care about you not caring
@@ahmedthabt5539 They might not, I can always wish I was a better person though. Frankly I doubt anyone in a conflict zone cares what we think, they care about what we can do.
You can't feel bad about everything. While I write this terrible things are happening to human beings all around the world. Do I care about any of them? I can't. No person has the mental capacity to give sympathy to every terrible thing in this world.
Hope you're not demonetized. If YT does that to this channel it would be nothing short of criminal.
انا من اليمن واسكن في صنعاء ماجاء في الفيديو وصف رائع وواقعي بنسبة 95%
"Biggest humanitarian disaster since the Second World War" is a big stretch if there's even any way to argue it. I can believe that it's the biggest ongoing one, and I imagine it's worse than whatever was happening _in the region_ _during_ WW2, though (seeing as North Yemen was neutral and South Yemen was just a rather out of the way British Colony), and maybe even since.
@Nicolai Myshkin *Nothing in Yemen that I know of* (maybe the British recruited or drafted people in the South or in Aden, and the North had a "Friendship Treaty" with Italy, though they didn't do anything because of it, and I imagine the economy was disrupted one way or the other), but practically every actual part in WW2 was a humanitarian disaster. The whole thing was like one giant war crime. It was like every country suddenly decided killing people indiscriminately was the way to do things. That's why it is generally considered to be the deadliest conflict in world history, killing more people than all the Mongol conquests put together, certainly if you include coinciding and related events like the Holocaust or even the Bengal Famine, and also more than other major catastrophes like the "Great Leap Forward" famine that happened later. There was also quite a lot of violence in years immediately after and before WW2, such as the Chinese Civil War and associated catastrophe, the Partition of India, Stalin's Purges, the Spanish Civil War, Italian Imperialism, and instability in colonies like in SE Asia, and also apparently a major famine in the USSR even after the war (besides the one's during and before the war, like the Ukrainian Famine), and in fact I think such problems were common during and after the war.
As for things since WW2 in Yemen, like most of the world, it of course has struggled with poverty and technological (e.g. medical) backwardness it's had to rise from (and like most of the world, in the long term it will probably continue to improve eventually even beyond what we have now in "developed countries"). The Northern Kingdom accepted Soviet aid and then purged communists, there was a pan-Arabist republican (anti-monarchist) revolution in the North, and a communist revolution in the British protectorate in the South. Then there were two wars between the North and South in 1972 and 1979, and then a civil war in the South in 1986, before reunification with the North in 1990, then, between 1990 and 2011 there was of course already violence between the government, the Socialists, Al Qaeda, and the Houthis, though obviously probably not nearly as bad as after 2011.
As for things since WW2 in general, there have been been a few major terrible things that I think outweigh Yemen. I already mentioned the "Great Leap Forward" famine, and you can mention plenty of other Chinese things, like killings of landlords. There was also the Second Congo War (and other Congo Wars and genocides in Rwanda Burundi, and maybe the Congo), the Korean War, the Indochina Wars (including the "Vietnam War" and that time the Democratic Kampuchea Regime killed a fifth of Cambodia), the Nigerian Civil War, the Sudanese civil wars, the Soviet-Afghan War, the North Korean regime (and maybe also sanctions against it), the fall of the Soviet Union and associated famines and wars, and actually probably plenty of other things. (I mostly stuck to things given a geometric mean death count above 1 million by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll . Of course, death toll is not the only way to measure how bad something is, even if you count things like hunger and disease, but I'm pretty sure that these other conflicts were associated with plenty of the same other problems as the Yemeni Civil War is. Also, I imagine I could easily have mentioned plenty of supposedly NON-anthropogenic disasters, like epidemics and poverty.)
11:05
Real fact can't be denied
And u can see what is happening now
How does the incredible water shortage impact this conflict?
7:27 Why the moving screen composited onto a still image? That's so strange.
It’s impossible for me to follow all these endless fighting with different ever changing groups… They all seem like snakes to me, like that ruler stated.
What music was playing around minute 15:00? With the part of the arab spring?
Hey babe, new GTBT video dropped, wake up let's watch
Babe?
Edit: babe apparently has strong feelings about Socotra and ambitions to found a nation there.. Romantic getaway date idea?
As a yemeni I can confirm that we are living the consequences of the former system that ruled by Ali Abdullah Saleh and his allies for the past 40 years he managed to dissolve any hope for development in Yemen by corrupting each section in the government and destroying the meaning of respecting of literacy and education The last Hope any Nation on Earth can do they are hopeless.
And what I meant by allies
I meant Saudi Arabia
I'm gonna say it
I'm not going to blame other countries or other systems that ruined my country but the role of Saudi Arabia inside my country so significant .it can't be denied.
Can you make one on the Syrian Civil War as well?
I have to correct some information. I am saudi arabian so take this however you well but I know what I am talking about.
first, there no evidence for king abdulaziz saying what is claimed in the video. the claim was first invented by the revolutionary yemeni officers and their egyptian supporters as propaganda against the zaidi monarchy and its supporters backed by saudi arabia during the 60s. fun fact, the zaidi yemeni monarchs and their descendants are now citizens of saudi arabia since they were overthrown.
second, the UAE has no garrison in socotra. the hadi gov asked saudi arabia to garrison it instead of UAE.
As I see it, the saudi arabian goal was to force Saleh to switch sides again and drive the houthi out of sanaa just as he allowed them in. he did switch sides but was unsuccessful and the houthis offed him. the Saudi goal now is to keep the anti houthi side from fighting each other while finding away to force the houthis out of the western coast. the first one is more difficult ironically but driving the houthis out of the western coast is possible but there is huge opposition to it internationally especially from Britain they say it's for humanitarian reasons but its geopolitical and the british have old interests in yemen both north and south.
I clicked on this video straight away. As dire as the situation is in Ukraine, the war in Yemen constitutes a huge humanitarian crisis which the US has direct influence over due to its military aid it provides to Saudi and UAE. It absolutely needs coverage as it is invisible in MSM.
Do you know what direct influence means?
GREATS, you know the translations of Houthi logo means right?
much needed aid, many of the groups are not angels but you dont want the Houthis of all people taking leadership of the nation
@@abiku2923if the US didn't provide support Saudi wouldn't stand a chance against Iran. That's direct influence, not direct involvement.
Question. Back in the 1990s, the United States won a war in Bosnia without committing a single ground troop, just with air power alone. Basically, the Bosnians used their own army, and we just lent them our air force. And it worked, the USA/Bosnia won. So why did the USA succeed in Bosnia when Saudi Arabia attempted pretty much the same thing in Yemen and failed? Thanks to the generosity of American taxpayers, Saudia Arabia has one of the best air forces in the world. How come that air force, plus the pro-government Yemeni soldiers on the ground, couldn't win the war, the way we did in Bosnia 20 years earlier? Why?
Hope you cover Cuba too and other regions in turmoil.
Do one about Libya please!
16:04 They should change the walkway with a burning eye. 😂
Thx
Yemen is experiencing a break from the war now since Iran and Saudi started talking to each and wants to normalize things
A very bad take, you really have sided with the Iranian perspective on this matter and completely disregarded the extent to which Iran has backed, supported and funded the houthis. This idea of saudi wanting an "unstable" yemen makes no sense whatsoever. What saudi is trying to accomplish is free their backyard from the iranian grasp which they have unfortunately failed to do so.
So how did Iran fund the houthi and how much?

This war bares many similarities to the 30 year's war in Europe. Hopefully it won't last that long.
Why is he saying “North” and “South” Yemen, when it is clearly presented on the map shown as West, and east, respectively?
@ItsEarth! That’s what they were called before the unification in 1992. Northern Yemen “ Yemen Arab Republic” , Southern Yemen “ People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen “ . I know that the map shows What appears to be East and West Yemen but the majority of the population 80-90 % lives in Northern Yemen and Southern Yemen population 10-20% lives mostly in the western portion of South Yemen right under northern Yemen . Maybe that’s why they were named North and South Yemen.
"the war that nobody cares about"
We can see the greed of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia in Yemen by taking the Emirates to the island of Socotra, although it has nothing to do with the ongoing war.
So the answer is that there will most likely be "peace" soon...
True
And most important of all, I hope that we focus on the hundreds of thousands of Yemenis who died of children and women due to the indiscriminate bombing carried out by the Gulf states on Yemen, which was supposed to be in order to destroy Yemeni weapons, but they destroyed the infrastructure and killed many, and this is what made many non-Zaydi Yemenis To join the Houthis in order to protect the country
" largest humanitarian crisis since...."
Idk, but people are dying all over
It seems mercantilism isn't dead but lives on in the middle east
oh my god
Where is Liman ?
Makes you wonder if they snakes he was dancing on were groups within Yemen or the Saudis and Iranians.
About the al-Mahrah oil pipeline, I wonder if/why they can't just build it through Oman.
When people fight for "faith" I quickly abandon them. Maybe that's an unpopular opinion but I have no interest in cult wars.
Saudi Arabia also heavily interfered in Sudan as well
This might be the most bias attempt at explaining the Yemeni conflict I’ve heard… so Iran had nothing to do with the growth of the Houthis? Lol
@iambetterKSA Your right Iran has a lot to do with the conflict in Yemen and so does Saudi Arabia and UAE. But also you can’t sweep under the rug the fact that Saudi Arabia has been in conflict with Yemen ever since the first Saudi State about 2 centuries ago and for them to just intervene with a “ Good Intent” . When your plane bombs FUNERALS, WEDDINGS, SANITATION FACILITIES etc… Along with the air and sea blockade of the whole country don’t come in and say the that this a “bias attempt “ in explaining the war in Yemen 😅.
Fun fact
the same year hutis took Sana'a the capital of yemen
Both of the USA embassy and Saudi embassy were there and the relations between them were perfect
Actually hutis made a proposal to the Americans and Saudi to be there ally and fight against terrorism in the middle east.
So don't be fooled if u think that hutis are loyals to their country
Nope they are mercenary's
There is a lot of incorrect information. Firstly, in the war for liberation from the rule of the Imam in the north, it was because of the free officers who made the revolution and liberated the north, not Ali Abdullah Saleh. Secondly, when Ansar Allah took control of Sana’a in 2014, it was because Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi was Whoever armed them and brought them in to carry out an operation similar to combing the country from the family of Ali Abdullah Saleh, because they were representing the opposition military forces, then when they took control of Sanaa, he fled to Saudi Arabia .We can see through the response of the Gulf states by bombing Yemen that all this was planned!!
