saudi arabia supported ali abdullah saleh to fight the huthis and saada governors. and suppress the sheas yemen situation the the the prime share of blame is on the shoulder of the leader of that government abdullah saleh the fact that that he brought in two armies into his country the saudi army and the american army to attack his country and created this issue with saada for the six time this is the sixth war with the with the people with the hutis and with the issue of the south and of course he laid the foundation for the rise of al-qaida and the salavy in yemen. the developments led to the arab spring in 2011 and the popular uprising in yemen which toppled ali abdullah saleh's government. saudi arabia envisaged no option to keep saul in power so it replaced him with his deputy abu rabu mansur. as his pawn in sana, but yemani shias formed an alliance with various sunni factions in northern and central yemen, and established a powerful political movement named theansera. welcome to the palestinian village of alakaba. it's in the northern jordan valley. you think life here would be rela

also, ali abdullah saleh has been pressured to meet with bush and for partnership. he announced his readiness in a project that described cooperation in the fight against terrorism. mastery of the military information about armaments it was one of the main goals. the armament of yemen was varied. although this equipment was done in a traditional way. in my opinion, the information about the type of tank and deployment was not the goal, but the goal was to limit the sources of weapons equipment. when the issue of fighting terrorism started, other issues such as the crossing system and the communication system were left aside . the west's excuse was that they should enter these areas , that to fight terrorism , security cooperation is necessary in the field of borders, crossings, etc., to create a suitable system. take place the government was not allowed to review the responses and determine the mechanisms so that within a month the yemeni government received details from us central command commander tommy franks and cia director george tenet as well as us vice presi

saw the fall of mubarak, we saw the fall of the tunisian president, the president of yemen, ali abdullah saleh, this could pretty much be on repeat if these regimes remain silent and sit back while genocide is being committed in dbc has a strip and these um um anti-israely operations on the high seas, usuf, we see in the uk, the us target yemen resulting in a yemini casualties, but um the answer leader abdul malati said that hey, we're not going to stop, no matter how many times you hit us, we're going to hit back, we're going to continue these operations until the the siege and the genocide in gaza comes to an end, so weemen is willing to pay not to mention that it got relisted as a the ansterila as a terrorist group with the appropriate sanctions that comes along with getting listed as a terror organization, so the yeminies have quite paid a pretty big price um compared to many others to support palestinians and they said they will continue to do so. yeah, i think yemen is representing the conscience of the uh free people of the world, they represent the um, the human compassion with what th

ansarullah ali abdullah saleh, when he was the ruler of yemen, could not fight with ansarallah for years. harm this group saudi arabia and its allied countries have been at war with ansarullah for 8 years and they have not been able to reach a conclusion. in such a situation, why do you think america has not learned from past experiences and what will be ansarullah's response in your opinion? excellent answer from ansarullah to absolute certainty of continuing the same process until reaching the predetermined goals are to lift the blockade of gaza and the lifting of the blockade of the yemeni people , and ansarullah has the upper hand in the war of the straits, but you have pointed out a very good point that the country of yemen has been given the name of al-ghazat tomb since ancient times, which means the cemetery of the aggressor warriors and in war various people who attacked yemen. either to be destroyed or to suffer a decisive strategic failure , and this is not the first time that the americans are seeing this issue , because basically guerrilla forces enter the battle asymmetrical

stronger, we remember that the bush administration has bushed bushing the former regime of ali abdullah saleh to launch the six war on saada between 2004 and 2010 and saudi arabia as well joined that war in 2010 and what was the result? the result was that ansarulah has led a revolution in the 21st of of september 2014 controlling most of yemen and then saudi arabia uh was pushed by united states to to form a coalition and to attack yemen fully supported by uk, united states and france, and what was the result? the result yemen has actually defeated defeated the saudi, they have break the saudi, they have target their oil infrastructure, and as well on the top of that now yemen have the upper hand, they are forming a blue cate against uh uh the zig state of israel and now they are at war with uk and united states and we're gonna see today the mass uh... protest millions of yemani will take up to the street after the abdulmalik al hothi have requested the yemani population to take the to up to the street to support the palestinian and i believe you can to see that we might see one of the large

it was against them, ali abdullah saleh fought with them, saudi arabia did not succeed, with the support of america and a number of other countries , they fought for 8 years , america did not win. they are in an international confusion , they are also stuck in a quagmire where they cannot find a way out, in fact, the zionist regime, not their own situation. americans are facing 3 basic problems. the first issue is that the israelis unconsciously dragged them to a situation where in fact the confusion and hysterical mental state that the army of the scientific regime showed in the first days of operation tofan laqsa caused the defeat of the zionist regime and the decline and collapse of that regime. may the americans stop this from coming to betray the regime zionism is a direct entry. in the east, starting the military maneuver is actually looking for the fact that through the marines forces, they will actually load the helicopter and release the prisoners without israel asking for a price in exchange, the equation will basically add up and what is called the failure of the security inte

was formed in the 1990s to combat what they saw as the corruption of the then president, ali abdullah salehd of supplying the houthis with weapons, and the us says iranian intelligence is critical to enabling them to target ships. the government has been backed against the houthis by a coalition of arab countries led by saudi arabia and the uae. ..according to the us research institute the combating terrorism center. let's speak to our security correspondent frank gardner. first of all let's talk about who the houthis are. i explained it as best i could but there is a lot more going on in terms of how what is happening in yemen is viewed globally as a proxy war between iran and saudi arabia.— and saudi arabia. yeah, although there has been _ and saudi arabia. yeah, although there has been quite _ and saudi arabia. yeah, although there has been quite a _ and saudi arabia. yeah, although there has been quite a delicate i there has been quite a delicate truce that seems to be holding, which is why the saudis don't want to get involved in this at all, they are keeping their heads down, the saud
