9:40 am
the transitional governments that requested that intervention. but in 2023, the warring parties, saudi arabia and iran, were suddenly shaking hands the saudis put offers of peace and significant compromises on the table. they were hoping to appease the who's ease by now the most powerful force in yemen. meanwhile, political opposition to the who is he's was fragmented with many, many officials based outside the country. people had begun to call them the hotel government. losing saudi support would be a body blow. it's when the saudis have stopped intervening, that there were no complaints and push back on the who these people are starting to speak up against them. and i think does the was just the perfect opportunity for the who these it brings back the issue of foreign aggression for an intervention. since the israel goes, a war began on the who things have had success in the red sea. the galaxy leader is

9:42 am
israel in germany and britain. i mean, the fact that the who sees managed to attack so many ships is thanks to its military partner. iran, it sense the group chord and it's missile components and drones. they have received a mentorship in a way that allowed them to transform themselves from, you know, what could be seen as a ragtag melissa and the caves into this big miller saw that everyone is interested in back on land. i'm told that some of the galaxy leaders crew are still on board the ship. they've been held hostage for months. the. our next destination is one of the pores parts of the country. 5 hours drive from santa after nearly 10 years of war, the country is suffering from one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
