    Despite these tempting offers, which have been the subject of negotiations between Sanaa and Riyadh for over two years, the Yemenis remained steadfast.

    Ansarallah leader Abdel Malik al-Houthi’s consistent position, as reiterated in his speeches, has been to continue operations as long as Israeli aggression against Gaza persists.

    So all they’re asking is for the US to stop funding and supporting the genocide. Just do that then 🤷

    Hahaha after months of calling them nothing but “rebels” and “terrorists” and unsucessful attacks, they are now calling them with their proper name “Ansarallah” and even “Yemen’s de facto government in Sanaa.” And even "US offered Sanaa – in exchange for its neutrality in the ongoing Gaza war – “an acknowledgment of its legitimacy.”

    Resistance works and the emperor is naked.

    Informed Yemeni sources reveal to The Cradle that the US offered Sanaa – in exchange for its neutrality in the ongoing Gaza war – “an acknowledgment of its legitimacy.”

    This would involve severely reducing the role of the Saudi-backed Presidential Council led by Rashid al-Alimi and accelerating the signing of a roadmap with Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to end the aggression against Yemen.

    The sources further reveal that the Americans pledged to immediately release withheld Yemeni public sector salaries from the National Saudi Bank, lift the country’s siege entirely, reopen Sanaa Airport, ease restrictions on the port of Hodeidah, and facilitate a comprehensive prisoner exchange agreement with all involved parties.

    Feels refreshing seeing a nation actually take a real stand instead of pretending to take one or falling in line with the USA’s demands.

    Pakistan army folded in 2 seconds just for a crappy IMF loan.

    This article is really tooting Yemen’s horn. Are they really in that much control over there?

    I am uninformed on this subject, but that article felt like it was so pro Yemen that it could be propaganda.

      Yemen withstood almost a decade of bombardment from Saudi Arabia with support from the UAE, Sudan, Bargain, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Senegal, Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Canada. Are you really surprised?
