Back in 2018, we produced a video on how the Saudi-led coalition uses weapons made by the United States to target Yemenis. You can watch that here for more context on Saudi Arabia's and the US’s involvement in this war: ruclips.net/video/7DbdBIuFrIE/видео.html
Thank you for posting this. By watching both it's possible to get a more balanced understanding. However, I find it odd that the role of the U.A.E. goes virtually unmentioned as their influence in the areas not controlled by Houthis is pervasive and is distinct from Saudi influence. I understand the focus of this latest video.
Realifelore has a much better, and I'd say a little less politically slanted, video of the conflict. It go much more in depth, it's almost an hour long I believe
So Yemen was indiscriminately bombed by a US, Saudi, Israeli, UK coalition that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and now they're hijacking ships carrying weapons supplied by the UK and US to arm a genocide committed by Israel that is killing even more people in Palestine even faster. Seems like they're pointing their guns where the Yemeni people want.

Exactly, the Houthis are the closest thing to an actual government in Yemen. They have 28 million people within their territory. The Saudis victimized millions in their starvation campaign
I don't necessarily disgree with the possibility of your conclusions about other motivations for the attacks in Red Sea. But your analysis frames the US and Britain in a wholly positive light and place all blame for the current problems on the Houthis and none on Saudi/US/UAE/UK bombing, assassinations, blockades, etc. which surely don't help the population you express concern for in this piece. I don't recall any Vox video being less than sanguine when addressing Israel and U.S. intentions in the Middle East. The scholar from the Middle East Institute compares the Houthis to the Taliban (who the U.S. sends billions to). Ok, fair enough. Who do you compare the US/Saudis to as they caused a mass famine and many civilian deaths with carpet bombings in Yemen?
While this report is not wrong, I remember young men from Yemen fleeing to places like Jeju in Korea, when I lived in Korea, to avoid the civil war. I wanted to point out that it not completely desolate in Yemen. Someone I met in my immigration classes here where I live now in France is from Yemen, and she still goes home to Aden to visit. And from pics I've seen there is still a bit of functioning life, people even going to and graduating from university, women do wear hijab but not required to wear burkas (actually the way I saw in my acquaintances pics they wear their hijabs fairly colorfully and in an interesting style). Don't get me wrong, things are still bad there, but life still goes on.
Aden isn't controlled by the Houthis. Aden is under the internationally recognised Yemeni govt control. So, it's not surprising that life is somewhat normal there.

Its baffling that people constantly go back to "religious sectarianism" when mentioning anything about Yemen, the impact of religion on this is purely on which teachings factions claim guide them and ignores the secular organisations involved in the conflict. It's merely politics and the economic interests of the Saudis who have a vested interest in ensuring their own dominance and control over the region.
Kind of relevant when talking about where the houthis came from no? Also, how does yemeni poverty and destabilization help the Saudi economy exactly? Saudi wants to install a government friendly to it to ensure its own security, which the video clearly talked about.

Interesting how you skipped the fact that Hadi's extended term expired, he resigned, than changed his mind, fleed to neighbouring country (Saudi Arabia) and invited them to invide his own country to take back the power. You can read all that in Wiki. Imagine Yanukovich would did the same after fleeing from Ukraine to Russia? Somehow this was OK when done by US ally.
Cuz Houthi aren’t looking for their homeland interests, unlike Ukrainians. They’re backed by Iran which is trying to replicate Hezbollah (Iranian backed militia in Lebanon) in Yemen.
@@alking_am842 If the Ukraine government was looking out for Ukrainian interests it would have acted in accord with the Minsk agreements instead of bombing and shelling their own citizens in the southeast.
Overall okay video but HUGE omission by Vox in not substantiating their claim that US+UK strikes against Houthi military infrastructure somehow makes the situation for Yeminis even worse. (9:30) Looks like less than 30 Houthi militants have died in the strikes, how does that hurt the broader civillian population as they claim? Is it because it helps the Houthis gain support from the population whose needs they neglect as the ruling party? Is there something else? Vox gives no answer.
Whomst among us can say whether bombing a country (especially as the US has admitted they are doing so without on the ground intelligence) can lead to poor outcomes for that country? They performed an airstrike on a plumber's ute because they mistook PVC for missiles.
They did a video on this war in the past and even linked it themselves, go watch it. They specifically talk about US involvement and how that could be classified as war crimes. Despite that: I think it's sad that you watch a video like this and the first thing you feel the need to do is comment about the United States. There are so many factions here that are directly responsible for killing civilians like the Saudis, terror supporting Iran and others. Go blame them, not one of the countries that delivers weapons. Cause everyone sends weapons, where do you think all the AKs and RPGs come from, the mortar grenades and primitive rockets?
All you really need to know is that the Houthis are terrorizing everyone within their range and attacking ships indiscriminately, including *a ship full of food aid going into Yemen*. Food aid that is mostly paid for by the US. In terms of public opinion, I'd say the biggest effect the Houthi missile attacks are having world wide is the conflation of Houthis and Yemen as a whole. Most people don't know enough about the area to realize that the Houthis are not a legitimate government of any sort, let alone the government of Yemen. They're very much comparable to Hamas in Gaza that way.
@@benzo___I find it even more sad that people who defend the US/UK do not hold them to the same standards they claim to uphold and to which they hold their adversaries when making a moral case against them. "Everyone does it" falls far short of the democratic principles and efforts for peace which Western countries claim to upholding even they sell weapons and provoke conflicts to advance their own interests.
British only colonized south Yemen(specifically Aden). North Yemen never got colonized except Al muka and zebiad city by the ottomans . There is no links between what happening today and the past
This video needed to be at least 3 times longer. Who were the Zaydis exactly? What WAS the governance structure that Al-Houthi was protesting? What has been the experience of Yemenis throughout all of this? What did Saleh actually believe that allowed him to end up on both sides? I feel like I can't formulate a coherent narrative in my mind about what actually happened..
@@realdaly grow up kiddo, this is a 10 minute youtube video ... it's good enough to introduce people to the conflict that have never heard of it if you're really into the topic go read articles or watch longer documentaries, they will be more nuanced
The video is full of oversimplifications and poor geopolitical and historical analysis. It starts by the movement's name itself. Very few people call them Houthis, only in the West is this type of appellation used widely. In Yemen and the Arab world, as well as within the movement itself, they are called Ansarallah. The movement can best be understood through an anti-colonial lens. They are a revolutionary movement that was formed to counter US and israeli influence in the region. That is literally embedded in their doctrine and slogans. Their whole purpose of existence is to free Yemen and the region from colonial dominance. Geopolitical Economy Report, which is run by actual academics and experts on the topic, has a better analysis on the movement. I'd recommend that channel for a better analysis.
Ah yes, anti-colonialism: Murdering political opponents, enforcing a strict islamist belief system, promoting authoritarian leaders, bombing random ships passing by, looking at the list of war crimes like a to-do list. Even having literal slaves! And you're directing people to a channel that shamelessly supports Russian and Chinese imperialism. They are not academics or experts, they are lying propagandaists, and you know this. Shame on you.
They have a western audience. Of course they're going to use the name their audience is already familiar with. Opposition to US cooperation by them was mentioned at 2:23 To say this explains their entire movement is silly, and the video gives a great explanation of why the Houthis lean into that anti-colonialist narrative: it bolsters their support in the face of an otherwise unpopular and brutal government.
The Houthis are a Shia Islamist political and military group that control most of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and the northwest of the country, including the Red Sea coastline. The Houthis are a large clan from Yemen's Saada province that practice the Zaydi form of Shiism. They emerged in the 1990s in part as a reaction to rising Saudi financial and religious influence. In 2012, Houthi rebels took advantage of unrest in Yemen to build a loyal following in the north of the country. In 2014, they seized the capital Sanaa, sparking a civil war with the Western- and Saudi-backed government that has continued since, despite limited cease-fires.

@@gangstanongrata He was a Muslim who was brought to power by the powerful tribal chief of Hashid who also was leader of the Muslim Brotherhood party of Islah in Yemen
This report is very interesting by its omissions and its slanted perspective. For instance, in recounting this history, you make no mention of the Houthis strikes on Saudi oil facilities being the reason why Mohammed Bin Salman discontinued his west-sponsored genocidal attacks on Yemen. It reveals that the goal of this video is not to honestly inform the viewer but instead to manage public opinion.
I Love How VOX Makes Sure They Don't Diss Down UAE & USA lol. They Where Also Involved And Thousands Where Killed Because Of Their Involvements. Be Objective And Don't Pick Sides.
They have to constantly sugarcoat and downplay western involvement in the developing world, otherwise they'd be exposed for the Neocolonial Imperialists they are, and we can't have that.
This video severely downplays the role of Iran and their backing of the Houthis. There is much blame placed on Saud and the House of Saud, but no mention of Shia 12er theology of Persians and not a single mention of Khamenei's goal or establishing an Islamic caliphate to usher in the return of the 12th Imam. There is also no mention of racial issues between Persians and Arabs. There is a line regarding Arabs, but no mention that Israel had 22% Arab population and 18% Muslim. This isn't Judaism v Islam, but rather a particular Islamic theology v both Jews and secularists and other Muslims and Arabs. Iran isn't upset at Israel being Jewish, they are upset because it isn't Muslim, and a particular type of Muslim.
Such audacity of vox to frame this conflict as a power hungry struggle of the Houthis to "distract from internal problems". Did Netanyahu write your script?
@@xBINARYGODxIt's AI trying to learn Ebonics from the paid bot comments. Spot the bot with keywords, engaging, uplifting, hits the mark, warms the heart...also AI never makes spelling mistakes.
I was expecting them to blame Iran but surprisingly they didn't put the blame on Iran. Of course Iran has a major role in these attacks---it was the means they found to harass the US in the region without going directly into war with the US.
Lies. They attack Israel even though they are 1,000 kilometers from Israel, in Gaza they live better than Syria and Lebanon. They get free food and supplies from everyone.
I think it's unfair to diminish the deep feeling there is in Yemen, in the Arab world, and throughout our world, for the plight of Palestinians and in particular for Palestinians in Gaza. The situation in Yemen is, as your piece shows, very complicated. But if the Houthis say their blockade of the Red Sea will stop if there is a ceasefire in Gaza - and if that ceasefire is necessary - and the UNSC, with the US abstaining, yesterday called for an immediate ceasefire - why not end the blockade by insisting on a ceasefire by both sides in Gaza? If, after a ceasefire has been implemented, the blockade continues then the motives of the Houthis are certainly suspect. But if the blockade does end with an implementation of a lasting ceasefire, then how shameful is it that the response to this blockade was to bomb Yemen? People died in the US and UK bombings of Yemen. No one died in the Houthis attacks on the ships in the Red Sea. The situation in Yemen is very complicated. I don't know enough about it to have any opinion on the different factions there. I just hope peace and stability will be established there. Which I think would require much less foreign interference? But the motives behind blockade of the Red Sea, at this moment, may be exactly as stated. And I wonder if there is an attempt to confuse the issue by highlighting the complexity of the situation in Yemen. Maybe the blockade really is about trying to stop a genocidal campaign in Gaza. Worth considering, no?
I’m editing a video on the situation in Yemen at the moment. It’s so complicated, and that’s even before you add in the division of the rest of Yemen between Hadi’s government and the southern transitional council.
Wow, Houthis protested against war and showed solidarity for the Palestinian with an attack on civilian ship really show how peace loving the Houthis is.
@@TrueRaps It is a British ship that is sinking at the start. Israel doesn't send their ships through that route so it is Chinese and Malaysian crews who are being attacked.
and harming none of them. on top of that it's a protest to stand against the brutal genocide of Palestinians. great that you are more concerned about some ships rather than ongoing ethnic cleansing.
I’m really very tired of humanity today. Just once, I’d like people to have really strong religious or nationalistic beliefs and decide that they don’t want to use violence to force other people to comply with them.
that's just the problem with "strong" beliefs. Strong as in, you attach worth to them. They have emotional weight. The more weight you place on them, the more it will hurt when someone denounces it. And the more you hurt them back
Why don't we stick to the reasons that the Yemenis have stated? These are the reasons they are currently prepared to negotiate on. Ignoring them is deregulatory.
Thank you for providing a glimpse into what life is like in Yemen. It can be so sobering to learn about what other humans are dealing with. The people of Yemen deserve so much better than the lousy options in front of them.
It's silly to expect their acts of protest to be completely selfless. There is no neutral or self-detrimental action that they would take that would also directly support those suffering in Palestine. Not to mention that (6:50) airstrikes, landmines, and disappearances are the least troubling war crimes we've witnessed recently. Compared to we have seen in 2023-24, that just sounds like regular war. F.P. for all and always.
A very good editorial point raised by this piece of journalism; the Houthis are caught up in regional power struggles. Although I am not sure these folks would otherwise be supporters of Israel, _per se_ , they are surely compelled to aggressive naval actions by the impositions of their arms suppliers, as they continue to seek armament and recruitment for their domestic military campaigns.
Welcome to the world of Western rhetoric, make your enemies sound way worse than they actually are, and make yourselves sound way better than you actually are. They have concentration camps, we just have detention centres, they have regimes, we just have governments, their police is secret, ours is just undercover.
As is often the case, US heavily involved here, but mostly glossed over by any 'mainstream' outlets or psuedo 'alternative/independent' outlets like Vox. Should probably tell the whole story abour all critical actors & their wide-ranging roles undermining governmental processes & fomenting strife w/in the country itself. When instability happens, the US is usually involved somehow.
There seems to be a lot of important information missing, and the aesthetics of the maps are not on the same level as the Borders or Atlas series. Vox isn't what it used to be unfortunately
“We will not sit back and watch the Jews mess around in Muslim countries” there were absolutely no Jews involved in the conflict and they had nothing to do with anything going on in Yemen. This perfectly describes Islam

@@realdaly well I have seen islamic societies blaming jews for literally everything, if u can't find your keys maybe Israel stole it😅😂. So it's no surprise just listen to any arab leader in any arab country and see them blame the jews for their own political failures and corruption.
Ah, yes, because clearly, a scholar from the "Middle East Institute" has all the answers, offering a grand history lesson. How noble of them to suggest that all the Houthis are seeking is recognition, conveniently ignoring the urgent need to support Palestinians against Israel's genocidal actions. I must say very convenient ☺️
Scholars are supposed to shed light on their field of expertise. If you want comprehensive explanations regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict then go look for someone else. There is a wealth of scholarship about this subject. Why you feel the need to hijack an educational video is beyond me.
@@Archy__Because the "Middle East Institute" is an American think tank, and as such promotes a view of middle Eastern geopolitics that centres American interests. It is not 'hijacking an educational video' to point out the vested interests of the primary source of that video. There is no such thing as 'an educational video' that is disconnected from politics, everything is political.
@@Archy__ "While shedding light on their field is crucial, it's equally important for scholars to remain objective and refrain from making sweeping conclusions abouts the situations. Offering insights is one thing, but presuming to know the intentions of entire parties is quite another."
@@Sujaljaina Fair point I saw that when I looked them up as well, but they are headquartered in DC, and in general Saudi Arabia and the UAE tend to align with American interests in the region.
The world is starting to wake up on countries that have existed for so long and are now developing. It's no longer about the West, US, EU, etc... and thats a good thing.
In a world where International law is hijacked by a gang that controls the Empire of the USA to support Israel's eternal occupation. It is more logical than you think to use the red sea to pressure Israel to stop what it is doing. USA is unable to do its duties as the world superpower and is pittly supporting unjust genocide of basically unarmed civilians.
As 25 years old Saudi citizen living in Saudi Arabia, I certainly can confirm this is only one side of the story that could be only 30% of the whole story.
all you have to do is study the timeline and events, in Yemen and on the Red Sea, they only attacking ISR-US_UK ships to ISR. Out of all the armies in the word the Al Ansaar are the most honourable. They have not killed a single person in the strikes on the ships.@@itaylevin4555
As someone who usually keenly follows geopolitical development, I have always been baffled by this conflict. After your video I finally understand why; this conflict is baffling - with former enemies working together multiple times. Thanks as always for your priceless journalism. ❤
The Houthis are in power because of Iran. Iran has provided all types of weapons, including missiles, drones, artillery and tanks. Interesting that you partially blame Saudi Arabia but put no blame on the biggest exporter of terrorist, the Iranian regime.

You didn’t mention US or UAE involvement?

You keep up with events or you just repeatin what the comments saying ?
Overall okay video but HUGE omission by Vox in not substantiating their claim that US+UK strikes against Houthi military infrastructure somehow makes the situation for Yeminis even worse. (9:30) Looks like less than 30 Houthi militants have died in the strikes, how does that hurt the broader civillian population as they claim? Is it because it helps the Houthis gain support from the population whose needs they neglect as the ruling party? Is there something else? Vox gives no answer.
Whomst among us can say whether bombing a country (especially as the US has admitted they are doing so without on the ground intelligence) can lead to poor outcomes for that country? They performed an airstrike on a plumber's ute because they mistook PVC for missiles.
They did a video on this war in the past and even linked it themselves, go watch it. They specifically talk about US involvement and how that could be classified as war crimes.
Despite that: I think it's sad that you watch a video like this and the first thing you feel the need to do is comment about the United States. There are so many factions here that are directly responsible for killing civilians like the Saudis, terror supporting Iran and others. Go blame them, not one of the countries that delivers weapons. Cause everyone sends weapons, where do you think all the AKs and RPGs come from, the mortar grenades and primitive rockets?
All you really need to know is that the Houthis are terrorizing everyone within their range and attacking ships indiscriminately, including *a ship full of food aid going into Yemen*. Food aid that is mostly paid for by the US.
In terms of public opinion, I'd say the biggest effect the Houthi missile attacks are having world wide is the conflation of Houthis and Yemen as a whole. Most people don't know enough about the area to realize that the Houthis are not a legitimate government of any sort, let alone the government of Yemen. They're very much comparable to Hamas in Gaza that way.
@@benzo___I find it even more sad that people who defend the US/UK do not hold them to the same standards they claim to uphold and to which they hold their adversaries when making a moral case against them. "Everyone does it" falls far short of the democratic principles and efforts for peace which Western countries claim to upholding even they sell weapons and provoke conflicts to advance their own interests.

@@benzo___ says the guy who believes Iran supports terrorism and USA only sells weapons 🤦😂
@@cuscoothriyas5163 Name a quality western news source. I'll wait.
The video is full of oversimplifications and poor geopolitical and historical analysis.
It starts by the movement's name itself. Very few people call them Houthis, only in the West is this type of appellation used widely. In Yemen and the Arab world, as well as within the movement itself, they are called Ansarallah.
The movement can best be understood through an anti-colonial lens. They are a revolutionary movement that was formed to counter US and israeli influence in the region. That is literally embedded in their doctrine and slogans. Their whole purpose of existence is to free Yemen and the region from colonial dominance.
Geopolitical Economy Report, which is run by actual academics and experts on the topic, has a better analysis on the movement. I'd recommend that channel for a better analysis.
Ah yes, anti-colonialism: Murdering political opponents, enforcing a strict islamist belief system, promoting authoritarian leaders, bombing random ships passing by, looking at the list of war crimes like a to-do list. Even having literal slaves!
And you're directing people to a channel that shamelessly supports Russian and Chinese imperialism. They are not academics or experts, they are lying propagandaists, and you know this. Shame on you.
They have a western audience. Of course they're going to use the name their audience is already familiar with.
Opposition to US cooperation by them was mentioned at 2:23
To say this explains their entire movement is silly, and the video gives a great explanation of why the Houthis lean into that anti-colonialist narrative: it bolsters their support in the face of an otherwise unpopular and brutal government.
thats just not true, that may be true in Yemen but everyone in the Arab world calls them Houthis, I see the Iranian supporters came to cope
It's filled with lies that can be debunked.
The Houthis are a Shia Islamist political and military group that control most of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and the northwest of the country, including the Red Sea coastline. The Houthis are a large clan from Yemen's Saada province that practice the Zaydi form of Shiism. They emerged in the 1990s in part as a reaction to rising Saudi financial and religious influence. In 2012, Houthi rebels took advantage of unrest in Yemen to build a loyal following in the north of the country. In 2014, they seized the capital Sanaa, sparking a civil war with the Western- and Saudi-backed government that has continued since, despite limited cease-fires.

You guys have outlets like trt or aljazeera that does the same for your way of seeing things why get mad when western media does the same
No mention of Iran involvement either.
This video severely downplays the role of Iran and their backing of the Houthis. There is much blame placed on Saud and the House of Saud, but no mention of Shia 12er theology of Persians and not a single mention of Khamenei's goal or establishing an Islamic caliphate to usher in the return of the 12th Imam. There is also no mention of racial issues between Persians and Arabs. There is a line regarding Arabs, but no mention that Israel had 22% Arab population and 18% Muslim. This isn't Judaism v Islam, but rather a particular Islamic theology v both Jews and secularists and other Muslims and Arabs. Iran isn't upset at Israel being Jewish, they are upset because it isn't Muslim, and a particular type of Muslim.
Ah yes, the complexities of Yemeni geopolitics heavily filtered by Vox to appease eurocentric palet

I think it's unfair to diminish the deep feeling there is in Yemen, in the Arab world, and throughout our world, for the plight of Palestinians and in particular for Palestinians in Gaza. The situation in Yemen is, as your piece shows, very complicated. But if the Houthis say their blockade of the Red Sea will stop if there is a ceasefire in Gaza - and if that ceasefire is necessary - and the UNSC, with the US abstaining, yesterday called for an immediate ceasefire - why not end the blockade by insisting on a ceasefire by both sides in Gaza? If, after a ceasefire has been implemented, the blockade continues then the motives of the Houthis are certainly suspect. But if the blockade does end with an implementation of a lasting ceasefire, then how shameful is it that the response to this blockade was to bomb Yemen? People died in the US and UK bombings of Yemen. No one died in the Houthis attacks on the ships in the Red Sea.
The situation in Yemen is very complicated. I don't know enough about it to have any opinion on the different factions there. I just hope peace and stability will be established there. Which I think would require much less foreign interference? But the motives behind blockade of the Red Sea, at this moment, may be exactly as stated. And I wonder if there is an attempt to confuse the issue by highlighting the complexity of the situation in Yemen. Maybe the blockade really is about trying to stop a genocidal campaign in Gaza. Worth considering, no?
Might as well begin the video with a "sponsored by the DOD" segment with how western-leaning this report is
Facts
I’m editing a video on the situation in Yemen at the moment. It’s so complicated, and that’s even before you add in the division of the rest of Yemen between Hadi’s government and the southern transitional council.

Wow, Houthis protested against war and showed solidarity for the Palestinian with an attack on civilian ship really show how peace loving the Houthis is.

@@TrueRaps It is a British ship that is sinking at the start. Israel doesn't send their ships through that route so it is Chinese and Malaysian crews who are being attacked.

@@joythought They expanded the scope of the blockade to include American and British ships after America and Britain bombed them

Listening to Vox about global politics is like listening to a fortune cookie about your future.
I’m really very tired of humanity today. Just once, I’d like people to have really strong religious or nationalistic beliefs and decide that they don’t want to use violence to force other people to comply with them.
I mean, this is a tale as old as time - things are not, in fact, worse now.
that's just the problem with "strong" beliefs. Strong as in, you attach worth to them. They have emotional weight. The more weight you place on them, the more it will hurt when someone denounces it. And the more you hurt them back
There's been war since the beginning

Thank you for providing a glimpse into what life is like in Yemen. It can be so sobering to learn about what other humans are dealing with. The people of Yemen deserve so much better than the lousy options in front of them.
It's silly to expect their acts of protest to be completely selfless. There is no neutral or self-detrimental action that they would take that would also directly support those suffering in Palestine. Not to mention that (6:50) airstrikes, landmines, and disappearances are the least troubling war crimes we've witnessed recently. Compared to we have seen in 2023-24, that just sounds like regular war.
F.P. for all and always.

A very good editorial point raised by this piece of journalism; the Houthis are caught up in regional power struggles. Although I am not sure these folks would otherwise be supporters of Israel, _per se_ , they are surely compelled to aggressive naval actions by the impositions of their arms suppliers, as they continue to seek armament and recruitment for their domestic military campaigns.
