I pray for Yemen 🇾🇪
Greetings from Somalia 🇸🇴
🇸🇴❤️🇾🇪
I pray Yemin sunni and saudi Arabia
شكراً من القلب لإخواننا من الصومال الحبيبة❤🌹
It's always the kids who suffer in this type of conflict,
No one cares about me, you, your kids, or our kids. No one and no one cares about your family.
That’s not true, I care about you!
Sadly
When your own people fight each other it’s easier for others to take advantage of you.
Thank you FPA for producing such an amazing piece of informative and comprehensive presentation on the diplomatic political and military activities affecting the lives of millions of Yemenis. Watching this accelerates my critical thinking and analytical skills for problem-solving and policy-making for a peaceful, stable world.
Should have mentioned the forgotten 1930s war with Saudi Arabia, where Yemen lost three provinces to the Saudis. The Houthis grieved this, they want them back, hence the prolonged situation.
I would like to know more about it. Please share the links.
Important background and analysis. If more people understood what was going on in Yemen there would be additional calls to end the civilian suffering and protect the children.
Yeah I actually don't think so TBH
We have opposition forces in the USA that just doesn't give a flying shit about anyone else but themselves.
Ronnie Boyd they’re Americans what do u think they’re the most horrible people in the world
Way back, as far back as Bush Sr. The US government secretly planned on destabilizing the entire region. Look it up for yourself. Look into Chaney's secret war to destabilize the whole region and invade 5 counties...and well all know what for...THE ALL MIGHTY US DOLLAR to remain the facto currency there & of course ALL THAT OIL!!
I'm fucking sick & tired of hearing about the US's evil foreign agenda. Same thing with Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and soon Iran.
THEY CONTINUE TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, but not enough people are standing up demanding these reginal GENOCIDE be STOPPED!!!
But, as always, that's just my opinion!!
@@NoSoup4U2 The Middle East has been unstable since The Ottoman Empire started to fall apart. To blame it all on the USA is like trying to blame the US for Chinese Waste Management problems. Various Major Powers (Regional Powers too) have contributed France, Russia, USSR, USA, British Empire, Ottoman Empire, Iran, and so on...
I do agree of it's history of it's instability, especially with the Ottomans, but you are aware of the US's foreign agenda of this region aren't you? Bush Sr. concocted that plan way back when he was head of the CIA, but began to implement his plan once he took office. His son soon followed when he arrived in the White House. You might call it one of their black budget projects, the few are aware of. They used the long history of its instability as a way in to their covert operations. Every single rebellion in the region was funded in part or in whole by either the CIA, or thru the US foreign policies for the region, because of the US lust for oil. Don't be fooled Sir, look deeper and you'll find things you may not agree with, but are very true!!
There are so many people who are suffering, I can't help but pray for their comfort
Amazing. Thank you for honestly explaining what’s happening and not picking a side. Both sides are in the wrong and the people of Yemen need to stop suffering for it. I feel so bad for those innocent kids who have no idea why all of this happening.
My god why can't they just have two separate countries and live in peace. U.S should stop supplying bombs and planes to the saudis. Preaching liberty, peace and freedom at home while raging war outside.I can understand now why america is called the biggest hypocrite in the world.
Jassy Rahal Wishful thinking. Saudi Arabia is an important ally to the US. Thinking in hypotheticals helps nobody.
I agree with u!
The US nor the majority of its people will understand the intensity of the situation until they face a similar crisis themselves, I saw a person asking for donations to help Yemen, and then these Americans making fun of him and making memes, they think they are very funny making dank memes, these are not memes, these are real millions of people dying everyday because of the cruelty and greed of the world, may Allah help Yemen, and restore them to their former glory.
@@shaigaanhakeem385 You're just trying to put down westerners, when if you had ever talked to any of us one on one, youd know better instead of u doing the same thing you are criticizing us for.
Ian R except i have i have talked to alot of foreigners and thaey dont behave that way in person because they are pussys who can only do it behind their screens.
I'm glad you guys mention the first civil war and how Yemen got to this point. I don't support any assistance from the US in this war. Yemenis deserve peace and to flourish. Just like others deserve the same.
The war in Yemen needs to end, I just came from Yemen and people are starving to death.
Under what pretext were you able to travel? Journalism? I want to travel there as well, soon.
@@m.d.sharpe8892 if you are yemeni, esvape to somalia. There are more travel options from their and northern somalia is a relativley peaceful and the culture is similar to yemen. Also the airports in northern somalia can go many placea
Do you know what caused the war in Yemen? The location of Yemen is more important than the UAE's location, and the UAE rely heavily on its ports, including the port of Jebel Ali, but if Yemen's ports worked, the UAE ports would not have any significance, therefore Dubai Ports Company worked to control the most important port in the region, the port of Aden, at the time of the former Yemeni president Ali Saleh and the UAE worked to neglect the port, but after the revolution in Yemen in 2011, the new government canceled the agreement with Dubai Ports Company, and agreed with China to manage the port of Aden, so the UAE supported its former agent Ali Saleh to ally with the Houthi militia to control the capital of Yemen, sana'a, to overthrow the Yemeni government, the UAE intervened under the pretext of toppling the Houthi coup, then UAE took control of the port of Aden. The UAE also controlled the other ports of Yemen and the Yemeni islands, the most important of which are Socotra and Mion. UAE also made its militias in southern Yemen calling for the secession of southern Yemen. These militias are preventing the government from returning to Aden, and so far the Yemeni government is in the KSA capital, Riyadh, the UAE has made Yemen in a state of chaos, famine, and ongoing war.
there should be a united response towards uae and it's lobbyists. however the amount of the money they bring to their assets in the united states is accelerating throughout the destruction they have bringing to the middle east.
Thanks for the good post, thanks
What u mean location you knw for stupid you sound they brainwashed u in this children and woman are suffering becouse of of stupid mans tho Chilling gat and got guns for what what are they fighting for???? Wtf stop
Thank you 🙏🏼
They even doing same thing on the Somalia side. They would pay little money with the local and sign an agreement with them to rebuild ports but rebuilding never happens. So progress stops with them since they are the ones who are controlling the ports. Also with there money, they putting conflict between tribes and local admin or Federal government of somalia. It's all about the fear of your neighbor will out shine you if they progress.
So sad men can’t live in peace with each other smh. Ugh that precious baby girls smiles at the end. 😢🙏🏼
It’s all over money and power. Always.
God bless Yemani people, one day yemen will be free from terrorists.
Iam hassan Abdalla Elmi, Iam greating from you Somaliland, Berbera. I want to tell the ignorant people who don't know more about yemen to realise that the Yemenis are only original arabs and best people on the world, they are wise and faithful people (Alhikma wal emanu). They are honesty people with horoble behaviar. The history of Yemen old then the blood domestic countries such as UAE and KSA. The yemen is located strategical place connected tree important continent trade among, Asia, Europe and africa. This is why UAE and KSA and others bombing and to be control the red sea by the economic interest. Yemen will great again insha allah. We love you more than we can.
But the problem is not only the bombarding from Saudi Arabia, but also the civil conflict, isn't it? so, how much " wise and faithful, honesty people with horoble behaviar" could they be, killing each other for decades? i ask sincerely
@@user-lb4vh7xw9i because rich arab system is corrupt and selfish and its just a big mess. inshalla things will get better yemen deserves peace
☺️ - I am- I'm
Thanks brother from Yemen 🇾🇪
@@yemen5742 we support South Yemen independence since you support Somaliland independence
Now I understand why so many people despise us in the US and are unmoved with Ukraine’s war
The nicest person I know is my sister in law, she is American. I have met many Americans who are warm and intelligent.
But as a nation I loathe America.
So relocate to Yeman hhh of course you won't

Then stop using utube Google Apple etc@@MrBagpipes
There was conflict in Yemen, and the rest of the world decades, centuries and millenia ago, long, long, long before the USA (and the UK) became (a) world power(s). We so easily forget history, and remember only those years of decades ago.
People don't investigate, don't read, and pretend that the world before 1908 and 1939 was a peaceful world, where everyone lived together in love and harmony.
There has always been wars, fightings, insurgencies, genocide, empires, occupations, etc. The nature of humans. In evolutionary terms, we've only very recently climbed out of the trees.
Territorial, protectionism, accumulation, survival of the self - often at the expense of the other.
Hopefully this will shed some light on the tragedy underway in Yemen. Americans are largely unaware of the crisis and our involvement.
@Wilson Not the same, Iran is fighting to protect Shiites which are Target's for Wahabbis
@Wilsonbig differences in the majority of people in the middle East do not want Americans occupying their lands, while the majority in ME shia states welcome our brothers and sisters from Iran to help us. United States invades against it's own morality and laws and Iran is invited, huge difference.
@Wilson And I repeat Irans religious responsibility (like all Muslims) is to protect other Muslims.
@Wilson
You are very condescending and rigid.
Yes Iran has the right to protect Muslims, Islam requires all Muslims to do so, Saudi Arabia is protecting a group of corrupt criminals, Saudi uses Muslims pilgrimage money to buy weapons from the US to kill Muslims. I don't know of a single Muslim (not Muslim dictators) that likes the Saudi royal family.
@Wilson Your arguments are idiotic. They come straight from the condescending American European narrative about Iran. I never said most people in the ME want Iranian interference, I'm trying to explain to you that Muslims have a religious duty to protect themselves and yes that includes the Shia in south Lebanon. Clearly you don't about the middle East. Israel invaded Lebanon and massacred the south and kidnapped Lebanese citizens, so Iran gave them weapons to fight back. Iran sticks up for the oppressed in Lebanon.
May the almighty allah... Bless this innocent Yemenies🥺😭
thank you for shining a spotlight here
🙏
i've asked many yemenis in america, ALL SUNNI.. who would you rather have. Saudi arabia or iran. and they have all said IRAN
We should be helping people in Yemen, Gaza, Haiti, Guatemala, and any other people who we helped to hurt. We are responsible, and we are liable, and we need to take responsibility.
They need to take responsibility; oppose any outside aggression, otherwise leave them alone.
Praying for you daily. May God heal your land and give you Peace of mind immediately. 😣
yemeni people are suffering because of the blockade placed on yemen by saudi collation
Houthis for them
Neither side are innocent
@@Solo-vh9fm saudi doing total blockade which includes medicines, food,... Etc like north korea + bombing yemen infrastructure + stalling the war while hundred thousands die. The yemeni gov. Is ruled from saudi arabia is the same if putin were to control US gov.

ربي إن بلادي اليمن قد مسها الضر وأنت أرحم الراحمين 😭🇾🇪💔
I am from Yemen . I feel frustrated and hopeless for my beloved country but this is the reality so I am very sad
Have hope, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him warned us about these types of thing, isis, wars, diseases and unfair treatments. He mentioned Muslims will be not only be mistreated they will also be killed specially Shia Muslims. I’m from Iraq and we’re going thru the same thing. My country was not only invaded by the us. We were robbed, raped, and done wrong inside and outside the country. Hajabi Iraqi suffered the most in the us during the invasion, we couldn’t get a job go to school the state denied us benefits, we had a hard time making an ends meet. we were trapped we couldn’t go back, at the same time the us will never be our home that’s what we’re told. The us did not stop their, them and their Allie’s our Arab neighbors sucking our resources. These thing were mentioned in a book called نهج البلاغة. The uk banned these books from Iraq and Iran. It will get worse but then it gets better at the end Islam will rule the world to be specific Iraq. But I have hope. So far I see all the signs the prophet mentioned. 🤲🏼
Update: Yemen has become Legends. world renowned heros of the innocent.
So pity, so sad, kind hearted nations, please, help them, oh GOD, please, stop the WAR, let these people live peacefully and comfortably Amen!
Providing humanitarian reliefs rather than bombs well said l haven't heard many comments like that in the USA
That’s how America makes its money.
David Struthairn is s terrific narrator and actor.
Well-made documentary!
So heartbreaking to watch… Sadly, it is reality. May Allah make it easier for the people of Yemen… may they become a prosperous nation Aameen.
If god exists this wasnt happening. May the people make it easier for the people of Yemen. Especially those who are responsible of this catastroph
I love yemen.

I just wish I was a muli billionaire the first thing I would do is give yemen 1b$
On God

@@ruquiacooks4614 why are you so hateful . If he wants to help yemen let him be who are you?? Take a chill pill and sit down somewhere cause you a little too tough for me.
Half Your money would end up in corrupt officials.
couldn't watch to end coz everytime I watch these documentaries .I get so depressed, how do the politicians and war makers sleep?
I also pray for peace between all peoples. We are all brothers
@24:25: The term *"happy Yemen" doesn't simply come out of nowhere* , as it was from the *Roman appellation* for the *southern Arabian peninsula: "Arabia Felix"*, in which "Felix" ("happy") meant that it was *flourishing with green vegetation* and oases, as opposed to its immediate surroundings. And not so much about how anyone there should be "happy".
this makes me so sad and maddd
As usuel , blame it all on US. Like the population of Yemen had no say .From the start the fight for power started. The People of Yemen played a roll in starting this cruel war.
This is so Sad.
Take down the government? What if you take down the Hunger, famine, disease, war that had affected other people. Why you all so greedy to be the ruler? I will never understand it.
@Prince Vegeta the right to rule is a man made statement the Almighty Allah is the ruler of all the creator of all the the lord of all Allah is power Allah is mighty Allah is the most Merciful and Allah is the ruler of existence there is no truth man or women or Jin with power Allah is mighty as Allah is the Ruler

So there are a few Hollywood people who are decent. I always like David Strathairn. He was great in Lincoln and Good Night and Good Luck.
These people have had hundreds of years to become civilized and they’re still throwing sticks and stones at each other.
😭😭😭😭😭😭I'm sorry
It is sad that the conflict still continues today with no repercussion to the Saudis and no practical solution insight
Big news: The Russians are now helping the Houthis because MbS has angered them with his oil attack. And now the Houthis are on the offensive!
Can you provide the Source, sir?
Funny how quick you believe US news instantly despite them saying their sources are classified but when its Russian news, you instantly request for sources.... So im going to say: Its classified! That's called karma. Find it yourself, because thats what you guys make me do everytime you announce a big news!

Someone need oil, and the other need power over gulf and inbetween innocence are dying. Greed and Oil, too much of these will destroy you.
this is the modern society live with it or die
The Kingdom of Al Saud, the enemy of Yemen
Murkan official saying "in retrospect" - it's not retrospect it's history repeating itself. We all know what's going to happen.
He will return🇾🇪
Yemen's Shia and Sunni Islamic scholars shall come on table to stop violence. For administration purpose neutral NGO's shall call from foreign countries. Political vision of both sides shall follow democratic values.
I noticed that many warlords are taking interest in this conflict, so it's better to solve issues at local level only.
Pretending the us didn’t intervene for oil is hilarious
Im not even 5 min in and my heart is already breaking. Seems like were ever the US goes wr bring death and suffering.
God bless Yemen 🇾🇪
Very pretty country to , such a shame !
If tbe north and the south Yemen did not joint to become one country, this conflict may not happen.
Why do we live in a world like this, god, civilians are facing the consequences of this terrible proxy war sponsored by oil rich gulf countries and Saudi

Cynthia - the innocent children are being tortured and killed by adults. ☹️
Why 😭 Aren't This People In Big Trouble ? 🤨
and they dont show this on the news,not in canadaa anyway
Whoah now. Who started this war???
From 1994 to today, the culprit of Yemen's crisis will never end until the people of the south gain the right to self-determination.
“Success story of the ‘Arab Spring’”?? Please name One success story of the so-called “Arab Spring”?
Im proud to be Muslim and Yemenie.I personily think Yemen is a powerful country if it can still be standing while being attacked by a couple countryd
So what is the best solution for peace, social, economic n political improvement for Yemen. Ending war won't do it. Solutions?
Everybody talked about the humanitarian crisis but didn’t do nothing to avoid more deaths.
South will prevail!! الجنوب قادم وبقوة
Millions of people throng the streets in every nation, things can go out of control and look what we will give to our next generations,,,no end insight, really so sad......
Arab countries should stop this conflict in Yemen and don't let non Muslim countries solve them Allah give us wisdom and strength and the answer in quran to solve problems like this.
To all USA policy makers as a Yemeni American we are allies and wish no one harm end this
We lived and were kings of the earth in the first centuries, and now we do not care about money any more than you do, and we do not care about the life of the oppressed, so his victory is better than being freed from the crimes that befall him.
I thought it was the British who were supplying the arms?
Oh no, the U.S. is the largest exporter of arms to the Saudis, at an average of about 100b a year in recent years. But yeah, the other autocrats don't help.
its written in the holy books that yemen is where human conflicts begin and end on the last day when the trumpet is blown
It's very easy to oppress uneducated people.Thats why education is very important for every person to know their rights.
how can they become educated if their schools are getting blown up
Apologies.
Through out the history of Islam even in India Dictators have brought havoc upon their own people to remain in power. A few example to mention are Gadafi in Libya, Saddam in Iraq, Taliban in Afghanistan, Saudi king, assaination of Bhutto and her father and army taking over in Pakistan, pick up Indian history they killed their own kin to stay in power. People in Islamic world needs democracy and a liberal outlook towards the world and other Religions. But the Dictators of these regimes won’t let it happen coz they are greeedy.
in about april 2020 abdrabbuh mansour hadi came to Seiyun to shoot some missiles into nowhere I remember my cousin who lives there texted my mom that abdrabbuh was waking them up at 7AM xdxdxdxd
I can't believe this video accidentally or intentionally ignored talking about Al-houthi crimes in Yemen. after the Revolution in Yemen there were an election and a government was formed which Al-houthi didn't accept the election and decided to invade the Yemeni Capital and rule Yemen by force. This is what started this disaster. Until today Al-hothi refuses any political solution , and still sticks to the war solution. Yemenis and the Yemeni government will fight for their country and their freedom.
It should be noted that all advanced weapons Al-houthi uses to attack Yemenis in government controlling lands are manufactured in
Iran with Russian/Chinese technologies. Iran seeks to control Yemen to spread its extreme ideology.
them trying to hide these facts are really suspicious !!
IRAN&KSA ARE THE MASTERMIND HERE.......
Iran ??????
45 years on this planet, only now I see the importance of peace, love and happiness for all in the world. I hope, to one day see the Islamic Nation prosper with health, wealth, education and happiness, for all the youth, who struggle to survive daily. God is great as they say. Peace, love and happiness to all. Stay strong my Islamic brothers and sisters, one day the Maker will fix all the Injustices. Peace out.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Power and Peace to Yemen
