Who wants to keep Yemen divided, and who is trying to unify it?

Posted by: John Phoenix Amid growing resistance to the Saudis in the occupied south, the question of separation is once again raising its head in Yemen. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel Attempts to keep the country divided have nothing to do with national aspirations and everything to do with imperialist control. They must be opposed by socialists and anti-imperialists. As of July 2023, protesters have been taking to the streets in Aden, the de facto capital of the Saudi/UAE coalition-occupied southern portion of war-torn Yemen. Amidst a blistering summer heatwave, they are only receiving six hours of electricity a day; this in a region where there is no shortage of natural resources for fuel. Additionally, the economy is i...

Houthi Rebels Threaten Renewed War Against Yemen Government

The Houthi militia in Yemen threatened to resume fighting against the government forces and the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi led coalition. 11 Homes Destroyed by Fire in Displaced Yemeni Camp Mohamed Al-Atifi, the defense chief of the Houthi rebel militia, accused the coalition of "deception and dishonesty" during ongoing peace talks with the rebels, declaring that the group is preparing for new actions to expel coalition forces from Yemen and seize control of all territory.

Yemeni FM berates Biden for faking ‘concern’, says US complicit in war, siege

Press TV Yemen’s foreign minister says the United States is bent on whitewashing its complicity in the Saudi-led aggression against the impoverished Arab country by pretending to be concerned about achieving peace there. Hisham Sharaf was cited by the Yemeni Saba news agency as making the remarks on Tuesday, two days after US President Joe Biden released a statement on the anniversary of the start of an UN-sponsored ceasefire in Yemen and stressed Washington’s “support” for all efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive peace in the war-ravaged country. Underlining that the US was “trying to evade its responsibilities” as a party responsible for the Saudi-led war and was profiting from it, Sharaf challenged Washington to “prove” its sincerity in wanting peace in Y...

Yemen’s quest for self-determination continues unabated

Despite conditions of siege and war, Yemen’s people are finding ways to lay the foundations of a diversified and more self-sufficient economy. After almost eight years of continuous imperialist siege, the Yemeni revolution begun in 2014 is still advancing. Following the popular revolution which overthrew the US-Saudi stooge regime that had dominated Yemen for decades, and replaced it with a patriotic government led by the anti-imperialist Ansarullah resistance movement, the imperialists silently declared total war on the poorest nation in the Arab world. Using Saudi and Emirati military forces for plausible deniability, the Anglo-American imperialist war has killed almost half a million civilians according to the Eye of Humanity Centre for Rights and Development. Millions...
