    notme, do you understand that AQ, Houthis, Boko Haram, al Shabaaz and other terrorist groups started arriving in Yemen in the late 1990s?

    Aid from the West and the GCC countries including KSA have been sustaining them.. Its a racket.

    They have NO incentive to bring stability or law and order to Yemen... Before they overthrew the government, they had been kidnapping for ransom for decades. .. Sometimes ending in murder........ Some of the people they kidnapped were humanitarian aid workers.

    I'm reading an article which suggests again quite different reasons for the Saud's war against Yemen. However it did mention this straight that you have mentioned quite a lot so

    so yes without question these straights are important but not necessarily in the way you have been suggesting. More as a desire of the Saud's to stop access for Iran and Qatar.

    Meanwhile the UN describe what the Sauds and friends are doing to Yemen as the worst humanitarian disaster for 50 years and that is saying something - something with which the West is complicit.
