🇶🇦 Al-Jazeera | UN ‘alarmed’ at military escalation in Yemen’s Marib | 17-02-21
— "The United Nations’ humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock has warned that a Houthi rebel advance on the Yemeni government’s last northern stronghold would endanger two million civilians and cause thousands to flee the city.

The city’s loss would be a big blow for Yemen’s internationally recognised government, which is backed by a Saudi-led military coalition.

The rebels' advance comes after US removed the Houthis from its list of terrorist groups and stopped supporting Saudi-led operations in Yemen."

As Liz Maddock reports, Marib has been a refuge for hundreds of thousands of Yemenis fleeing violence during the country's lengthy war. "

🇮🇷 Press TV | Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv to establish spy bases on strategic Yemeni island | 18-02-21
— "Long before the new chapter of relations between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv, the Emiratis had worked with Israeli surveillance experts and firms.

In fact, the first visit to the UAE by an Israeli official was made by the head of Mossad to discuss “cooperation in the field of security and issues of common interest”.

Now with normalized ties, and given a history of cooperation between the two sides, there are fears that the agreement might pave the way for more repression of Emirati journalists and rights activists at home, and of course, an uptick in cyber-attacks and surveillance operations in the region and beyond.

Shortly after the trip, it was revealed that Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv are involved in a joint surveillance project in Yemen."

"Houthi top military official Abdullah al-Sharafi:
— The fight now (their offensive against Marib) is not with our (Yemeni) brothers, but it is between us and infidelity, America and its allies and Jews and their allies."

To understand the ongoing War in Tigray, it's really necessary to understand one single man and his project:
— Mr Abiy Ahmed Ali, the Prime-Minister of 🇪🇹 Ethiopia 🇪🇹.

Mr. Abiy, famous for receiving the Nobel of Peacem, is a Evangelical Protestant, Ethnic Oromo and a Pan-Ethiopian Civic Nationalist, that is, he supports the idea of a Ethiopian nation above the Oromo-Amhara-Tigrayan & the Muslim-Christian tensions that always rocked Ethiopia.

Mr. Abiy is often classified & placed by International Observers on the same National-Populist spectrum of populist due to his nationalist & "jingoistic" rethoric over internal problems while others just classifying him as a liberal-democrat who "speaks the language of the people"

Given that, by understanding that Abiy, since the 2019 Cabinet Reform, has been confronting the TPLF, which once ruled Ethiopia, it is easy to understand where it all started and how it started.
