On election day, #Yemeni-American endorsements highlight a pragmatic approach to engaging with presidential candidates on crucial issues—from Middle East policy to social justice at home. #electionday2024 wcys.org/blog/2024/11/0…

My commentary on @BBCArabic: The Democrats missed the mark by not offering a fresh vision for real change. #Harris failed to distance herself from unpopular #Biden policies & lacked concrete plans for crucial issues such as the economy, immigration, and foreign affairs…

My latest article: The #Houthis' detention of aid workers reveals something deeper about #IRGC's regional strategy: humanitarian assistance as a weapon of political control. It is affecting #Yemeni people, and it should be understood (1/6) futureuae.com/en-US/Mainpage…

A must-read @hrw report. The #Houthis' arbitrary detentions, coerced confessions & abuse of aid workers in #Yemen reveal the brutal machinery sustaining their power, which I unpacked in a similar article yesterday. #Iran #IRGC hrw.org/news/2024/11/1…

1) Abdulmalek al-#Houthi’s recent comments on #Trump have been covered in western media, but much of what I am reading lacks context. Houthis are worried about a Trump administration, one that designated them as an FTO in the past. Here's why it matters: newsweek.com/exclusive-hout…

This is worth following if true. DoD says B-2A bombers used in #Yemen, but OSINT @sentdefender claims ‘bunker busters’ were used. Curious about the real targets for this operation that no one, not even Houthi media, is covering with any depth.

UN staff held by #Houthis. This is what happens when you chronically misread a threat. UN’s failure to grasp Houthis' true nature has empowered them through every misguided agreement. The same miscalculations strengthened Houthis’ grip on #Yemen

Reported 'criminal charges' against arbitrarily detained personnel held incommunicado in #Yemen raises concerns about staff safety & security and risks aid delivery, @UN_Spokesperson told reporters, calling for immediate release. Statement: t.ly/C7win



On the latest @MiddleEastInst podcast, @WCYSUS Sr. Policy Analyst @YemeniFatima provides a critical analysis of #Yemen's involvement in the escalating regional tensions and underscores the #IRGC-backed #Houthis' key role in exacerbating this confrontation mei.edu/multimedia/pod…

1. This is worth understanding: Key #Houthi leader Muftah called on #Yemenis to support 'resistance' in #Palestine & #Lebanon, essentially demanding donations for missile & drones tech. (he also touted Oct7 as a success) This group dragged #Yemen into war & wants to expand it;

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes on 15 Houthi targets in Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen today at about 5 p.m. (Sanaa time). These targets included Houthi offensive military capabilities. These actions were taken to protect freedom of…

While Yemenis struggle to afford food, clean water and cooking gas, the Houthis are raising funds for military mobilization in the name of Gaza. They're asking the starving population to support making more weapons, rather than meeting their very basic needs.

#Houthis just held a memorial for #Nasrallah, casting his death as a rallying cry for the ‘Axis of Resistance.’ Analysts have long missed how deep the Houthi-#Hezbollah ties run. Houthis are making it clear that this alliance remains strong & ready against US & #Israel. #Yemen
