      Apparently they move in areas where there is no presence of Houthis, South Transitional Government or Yemeni Government and they effectively take the responsibility of governance. A few years back, there were videos of Al-Qaeda in Yemen fixing pipes, roofs and other infrastructure while everyone was busy fighting each other.
      They themselves apparently are content to avoid fighting if they can.

      People often make the mistake of of looking back at those more "stable times" and believe it was better, when in reality, those "stable times" actually laid the groundworks for the misery that followed.

    The current situation is heartbreaking, especially knowing how much potential and beauty the nation holds. My prayers and wishes for peace resonate with those of countless others who long to see Yemen restored to stability and prosperity. This is an excellent, unbiased synopsis of the situation and spreading awareness and compassion can inspire others to care and act.

    By attacking shipping, the Houthi are sending a signal to other factions, and to all Yemenis, that the Houthi are the most legitimate faction now fighting for dominance in Yemen, IMHO. Also their cause now has worldwide attention and renewed respect within the Muslim world, I imagine.
    This terrific video by Kings and Generals has put the shipping attacks in perspective. The Houthi are in the middle of a protracted civil war and they've seized the situation in Gaza as an opportunity. Disrupting global trade is a side effect of what they really want, and they'll continue to attack shipping until the costs of this strategy outweigh the benefits.

      Sending a signal to their own people in the north that they are legitimate, the southern Yemenis knows their games and their media is working on it, as for the Muslim world, the Houthies are trying to clean their names after all the deaths they caused and still cause in Yemen (look at the blockade on Taizz) the southerners will never forget nor forgive, only fools who love the talks of the houthies ofc they will see them as braves even tho they are fools and everyone knows about their charades.
      They are ruining Egypt and the Suez canal meanwhile not harming Israel not even a little bit as their port on the Mediterranean where their imports come in from Turkey and European countries.
      The more harm they do to the shipping lanes the expensive material become and the more harm they cause to Muslim countries.

    The only solution to the civil war in Yemen and for the sake of peace is to go back to 2 separate states as was the case before unification in 1990. The issue was a poor unification process between North & South Yemen, that was rushed by the so called leaders at the time without due diligence. They did not bother to study the unification process, the cultural difference between the 2 countries. North was running on tribal law where as the South was running on civil law. Completely opposite sides of the same coin.
    Any one who thinks otherwise is miffed.
    The Southerners are awaiting a referendum to choose whether to remain united or to cease from the North.

Like AbduRabu Mansour Hadi who was an Army General at the time. The reason some of the Southerners helped Ali Saleh was because of the 1986 civil war in South Yemen (before unification) and, there was deep animosity between the Southerners. So, it was pay back time.

    At times it's just an overwhelming amount of information told at a breakneck speed and I think it would really benefit to try summarise events a bit sharper. Is it particularly necessary to indulge in the minutia of every single event leading up to the focus of a conflict? Generally it doesn't seem to aid in helping contextualise the overarching topic. It feels a lot like a wikipedia sprawl at times more than it does a visual documentary.

When it allied with some countries, including the UAE, in 2015, they declared war on Yemen under the pretext of eliminating the Houthis. The Houthi group was very small at that time, but Saudi Arabia and the coalition countries were bombing Yemen brutally and mercilessly, killing civilians, besieging Yemen for 8 years, and causing the death of tens of thousands of children and civilians. They were bombing wedding halls, funeral halls and everything. They were no different from Israel. Which caused the anger of the Yemeni people, and we all supported Al-Houthi until he became strong. Saudi Arabia failed in the war and Its goal in the war was to obtain Yemeni oil, and the UAE is now seizing Socotra Island.

    First, I'm from South Arabia and I watched this video in addition to the previous one. I have several comments on some of the misinformation in the first two videos. First, in the first video, I ignored the period that happened in the South of Arabia after Britain left the South of Arabia and the attainment of independence by the South. Second: Abdel Fattah Ismail belongs to the Yemeni governorate of Taiz and does not belong to the South Arab region. This happened as a result of a coup by the supporters of the National Front (nationalists) against the Liberation Front, which refused to add the name Yemen to the South Arab. After the victory of the Nationalists, the name Yemen was added to South Arabia in 1967. I'll complete the rest of my comments in another comment.

      Regarding the false information in this video, it is enough to know that you justify Iran’s use of the Houthis, while on the other hand you openly attack the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by saying (and the Saudi interventions in Yemen continue!!). I think this contradiction is considered the greatest evidence of your channel’s tendencies and that it is not neutral, but rather serves. Iran's agenda. The second matter: Regarding terrorism and its presence in the south, you must know that we (the people of South Arabia) are the ones who have suffered the most from this terrorist organization and that those who are fighting the terrorists are our southern forces that are affiliated with the Southern Transitional Council. Important information: Al-Qaeda leader Saif al-Adel resides in Tehran and the United States of America recently added the Houthi group to the terrorist list.

    With the many Yemenis approving this video, it gives major credence to it.
