Democrats have been trying to stop US support for Saudi. As much as I loath Steny Hoyer, he refuses to get behind efforts to stop the fight against Iran.
“By Wednesday evening, Emirati and Saudi forces were five kilometres south of the city’s airport. The centre of the city of 600,000 people lies four kilometres further north, and the seaport several kilometres beyond that. Fierce clashes were taking place.”
“Wednesday’s offensive was the first time since the coalition joined the war that they have attempted to capture such a well-defended city. Their aim is to box in the Houthis in Sanaa, cut their supply lines and force them to the negotiating table.”
The port of Hodeida is the source of 80% of the essential imports into Yemen, as well as being the main source of revenue for the rebels, and the source of the missiles that have fired into Saudi Arabia.
Iranian-style speedboats supporting the Houthis were sunk by the Coalition Naval forces, and a coordinated air campaign has been launched on Houthi positions.
“Relief ships affiliated with the Coalition are placed off the coast, waiting to dock in Hodiedah. ...prepared (for) a large-scale and comprehensive plan for the rapid delivery of humanitarian aid to Hodeidah and surrounding areas.”
Screw the rebels. And good map, it reminded me where Mocha coffee beans came from.
The word “genocide” is used way too much. But what is going on in Yemen is mass murder & the USA is backing the wrong side.
