Help the Yemeni people rise up against their Houthi oppressors

Nothing is surprising in the Houthi statements. Since 2011, we have grown accustomed to this kind of screaming borne out of pain, because fools have chosen to defy geography and history. The Houthis mask their cries of pain with a veneer of threats. For 15 years, the Yemeni people have been suffering under the weight of poverty, disease, and hunger as a result of the Houthi militia's control.

This militia takes its orders from the rogue and racist Iranian regime, which is obsessed with ruling and dominating the region. Therefore, the threat of the Houthi group to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait is nothing new. The Houthis repeatedly tried to do so, but the regional and international mechanisms for disciplinary action are ready. Today, the nature of the danger is different, as the region is in a state of war that is likely to escalate, especially since Iran continues to target the Gulf countries. At the same time, Iran is suffering from a suffocating siege and it is threatening the region with chaos, as the losing side usually resorts to burning all its bridges to force its army to commit suicide with it. Thus, the danger today is graver than before.

This is the true description of what is happening in Yemen today. For 15 years, the Yemeni people have been suffering under the tyranny of a small and armed terrorist group that controls the fate of millions, and engages in systematic violence both domestically and abroad. We must acknowledge that the Arab world’s failure since 2011 to dismantle the arms of the Tehran regime in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen has enabled such groups to commit their terrorist crimes against everyone. While it is true that the Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy weakened the Houthi group and forced it to live in isolation in the mountains of Saada, it still possesses sufficient power to harass its neighbors, particularly Saudi Arabia, by supporting Iran and destabilizing the Red Sea to expand the scope of the war. The inability to eliminate the power of the Houth group stems from the lack of Arab and international support for the Yemeni people to rid themselves of it.

The world acted decisively to combat the Somali pirates when they threatened commercial ships near Yemen. This contradiction reveals that the world adopts a policy of multiple power balances. The international community is mistaken if it considers the Houthi threats to be directed at certain countries. The truth is that the Houthi threats are a carbon copy of Iran’s obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Thus, any threat to a Saudi or Gulf commercial vessel means further damage to the global economy and a higher cost of war. The effective prescription for the salvation of the region and the world lies in defeating the Houthis by supporting the Yemeni people in their uprising against the group.

The collapse of this stronghold will naturally lead to the fall of the other dominoes that the Tehran regime is using its weapons to destabilize the world. The closest example to us is Syria. When the Syrian people revolted against the regime of Bashar Al-Assad, the foundations of the so-called ‘axis of resistance’ were shaken.

Consequently, the Tehran regime weakened extremely, thanks to a regional and international decision to stand with the Syrian people in their struggle for liberation. Hence, today, it is necessary to dismantle the second pillar of Iran's proxies of Iran, represented by the Houthi group in Yemen, which is a source of concern for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the entire world. A firm international resolution is required to achieve this goal. If there is no radical solution, the current situation will persist for a long time, thereby increasing the cost for the global economy. Are the nations around the world ready to implement this scenario
