The Houthi started the civil war when the coalition government refused to cede them more authority. They regularly steal aide intended for non-combatants.
There’s no version of the Houthi’s suffering that isn’t entirely derived from their actions.
It always seems a bit weird to me when people who’ve been forced into the worst kind of deprivation are the ones taking the blame for what that desperation has driven them to do, instead of the US and Saudi Arabia, who’ve purposefully created a situation where millions are starving.
I don’t have specific-enough knowledge of Yemen to speak authoritatively, but I am well aware of the US involvement and what the partnership with the SA has done to these people in a general sense, so it feels like proper credit should be assigned here.
It isn’t sarcastic. The aide orgs have been blaming the Houthi for stealing aide for the entirety of the conflict. KSA’s army has been preventing it from entering Yemen so the Houthi cannot steal more of it.
Regardless the folks backing the Houthi are just uncritically mimicking old Iranian propaganda.
This is the important fact to remember about Yemen. The US has been helping SA starve this country at least since 2016. Probably longer.
You should look up what aide orgs on the ground are saying because they universally blame the Houthi and KSA for stealing aid from non-combatants.
I’m sure that has nothing to do with a near decade of forced impoverishment and starvation.

Thank you for the information. I hope you have a pleasant day.
This reads as sarcastic but given your prior stance you seem completely serious for some reason.

This has to be a bot lmfao.
