Dreams & Genocide: Yemen

[@dariusaasin5580]

Dr. Cassagranda's lecture on Yemen is very informative, for me it was a new thing that Israel was the aggressor in first two attacks, I thought the first blood was dropped by Arab county. Second now I understand that why Syria has always looked to Russia for support.

[@naifaltuwaijri6106]

You'd be surprised by the things Israel had a thing in, the aggression it started and ensued. But such things are always hidden and never talked about in the media and barely online because it's not trendy to talk about the truth when it comes to Israel. I say this impartially. Because every country and government is a piece of shit in the end, no matter what it is. But Israel is always at the top of the shit list.

[@mohamedsamy1431]

I'm Egyptian. My late grandfather was actually a Yemen war veteran. He told me that they really didn't know who to fight. He didn't tell me a lot about the war, but it became obvious to me that he was traumatized by it. The only story he told me is that they found a Yemeni guy strolling by them, when he reported it to his superiors, they told him to get rid of him (since they had no way of knowing whether or not he was an enemy). He couldn't do it, but one of his colleagues does it. He never told another story of his time in the war. He was a very intellectual man, not really a soldier. Egypt has obligatory military service since the time of Mohamed Ali, the founder of modern Egypt.

The internet is an awesome place. I recently watched a conversation between Dr Casagrande and a gentleman from SArabia. They were talking about Ibn Khalid. I can’t read or speak any Arabic but thankfully there were subtitles. Technology allows us to communicate on the fly and that’s so much better than interpreting. I thought it was awesome that people in the other side of the world can connect with another culture. We have the ability to talk to each other and learn from each other and not be dependent on the media to get our info. Talking directly to people is the best way to compromise and respect each other.

There are many flaws in his narritive around Yemen since the 1994 onwards, the south of yemen is not actually held by millitary power but by tribal affilations. and around 80% of Yemenies are Sunni Muslims, and the 20% are Zaidis which is a very different sect than shia. Salah was not hit with a rocket but and IED was placed in the worship place he was in and he was forced to resgin in Saudia. There are many flaws in your reading professor I hope you re-visit your references

[@Greggles5000]

commandermalek6100. Easy mistake to make, given the successful assassination theoretically included an RPG attack at his car. I think the main thrust of the lecture is accurate. For an American audience the value is in explaining the Kissinger years of foreign policy, and that there is nothing new about their govt making enemies in the M.E, and that the U.S policy is usually to destabilise the region. It’s curious to revisit this now, with a U.S/Turkish backed Jihadi group in power in Syria. Still a worthy lecture, despite occasional lapses such as the method of assassination, or the religious sects percentage in Yemen.

It is a unique perspective from an empathetic American but there are so many basic mistakes.. First of all there was no revolution in most of the GCC countries because surprisingly for Westernsthe people are very loyal to their leaders. I am from the UAE and i got know hush hush money to stay quiet so i am not sure where you got this information. Secondly Sheia in Yemen are a minority and ali saleh who controls the army backed them up to spite the elected government. Houthis ended up killing ali saleh. However the basic information of sheia sunni percentage should be verified before giving a whole presentation about the country

[@ahmedsalim5552]

It was more like 150 people who protested in the UAE. If I remember correctly. Anyway a protest in UAE wouldn’t pan out like in Egypt. Cause your there you definitely know why. Their lives are far beyond basic necessities it’s luxury and am truly happy for them. I just wish they would make life easier to all those expats. And Yemeni Shia are a lot if you consider Zaidees as Shia

[@TheAwesomeGingerGuy]

he was also wrong about Egypt’s revolution. he says Egyptians “elected the wrong candidate” twice, but really it’s quite clear that the military (eg Mubarak & Sisi) were always in power anyway. The election (there was only one fair election - which Morsi won) was pointless, and Morsi never really had any power.
