Thanks Morning Brew for my daily news perk - sign up for free here cen.yt/mbhistorywithhilbert! If you enjoyed the video please consider giving it a thumbs up, leaving a comment and sharing it with a friend - it really helps me out! Let me know what you think of the new format, would you like to see more documentaries on current events and an in-depth history behind them?

[@Bad11gh]

The video needs a update

[@NeoConNET7]

Your chapter "Humanitarian Crisis Yemen" was grossly inaccurate and blatantly anti-Saudi, and you literally only gave Houthi war crimes 1-2 sentences in that entire chapter. You failed to mention, when speaking of Saudi air strikes that were later found to have struck a hospital or a water plant, that the Houthis used these facilities as SNIPER positions; Amnesty International reported this. When the Houthis use water treatment facilities and hospitals as sniper positions, that is a war crime! It is a war crime because people being shot out don't know what kind of a building they are being shot at from, they just know that there are people shooting at them from that building and they have to be taken out before they kill or wound more of their side. You completely IGNORED reporting this and you, as an amateur historian who has such a huge audience who trust you to report the facts, I would think you would know better. 1.) www.voanews.com/a/amnesty-international-urges-houthis-to-leave-hodeida-hospital-in-yemen/4650337.html 2.) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/yemen-war-houthi-rebels-hospitals-hodeidah-civilians-human-shields-amnesty-a8623981.html You also failed to talk about specifics of the blockade. You failed to mention that the Saudi's are only trying to prevent WEAPONS from getting into Saudi Arabia. You failed to report that the blockade is meant to stop weapons from getting into the country from Somalia that are being sent from Iran to MURDER and KILL more Yemeni's. You also failed to mention how the legitimate government of Yemen has authorized this because they don't want to see their citizens murdered by machine guns and AK-47's being to the Houthis by Iran through Somalia. 1.) www.arabnews.com/node/1742621/middle-east 2.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYO6lWd3q89gn80 Also, you mentioned that children are dying in record numbers in Yemen. You failed to mention why. It's because the Houthis are FORCING children into their Army, a war crime in itself, and planting landmines throughout the country, which are completely non-discriminatory or controllable weapons which kill indiscriminately, and STEALING the food aid sent to the country, starving any children that haven't been drafted. 1.) english.aawsat.com/home/article/2571126/houthis-recruit-46000-child-soldiers-2020 2.) www.hrw.org/news/2019/04/22/yemen-houthi-landmines-kill-civilians-block-aid# 3.) www.yemenembassy.org/news/factsheet2/ Did you mention how the Saudi coalition sends MILLIONS of dollars' worth of FOOD to Yemen to alleviate the crisis? You didn't say ONE WORD about it. 1.) www.thenationalnews.com/gulf-news/saudi-arabia-donates-40-million-for-world-food-programme-in-yemen-1.1172074 This video you posted was a failure to tell the full truth and point the finger at the actual responsible party for the crisis in Yemen, Iran and their Houthi puppets. As a long time viewer of your channel, I am disappointed in the quality of this video when it comes to telling the truth and revealing all the facts, and instead you hid some of the truth and failed to reveal all the facts. Disappointing.

As a half Saudi visiting family here in the kingdom at the moment it’s crazy how little people know about the conflict or want to speak about it. I think the government is very insecure about the Shia influence from Iran particularly in the Hasa region of Saudi (the region with all the oil) which has a large Shia minority. The Saudi government sees the Arabian peninsula as its backyard like the US with the Monroe doctrine and when Iran started arming Shia militias (who many people sympathize with even though they recently committed war crimes too) it’s not hard to see why Saudi attacked when their desalination plants and oil reserves are under threat (without the oil Saudi would just be a joke among the international community). I actually have many Yemeni friends here in Saudi but they aren’t saying much about the conflict; however, it’s obvious they feel for their people that are suffering through such a messy war. Needless to say I condemn all war crimes especially Saudi airstrikes on hospitals and civilian areas and have had many arguments with friends and family over this.

[@sherimiller8446]

Russia ukraine issue is newer this time around. Most probably don't know that they have been fighting since 2014 but this level of conflict is new. Russia is also threatening other countries and nuclear war. It is a far more dangerous conflict that affects other countries. I think that because some middle eastern countries fight all the time that we have become numb to it.

@Long live Sunni Iraq 🇮🇶 Believe me Saudia had no interest in doing any good towards yemen but rather felt threatened. The conflict between Yemen and the Saudis crown goes back to the 90s and one fact you might don’t know about, yemen and oman are one of the rarest countries where sunnis and shias live together in peace and that’s what’s happening nowadays

[@eljoyler5631]

I have studied a minor in Middle Eastern Studies and this conflict is fascinating and complicated. In one hand, Yemen as a country is incapable of remaining united, it’s geography, cultures and poverty will forever tear it apart. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is too afraid of having an unstable neighbor next to them, specially a Shia state friendly to Iran. The thought of a hostile state supplying weapons to Beduin desert tribes or bombing of their oil fields is basically a recipe to breakdown Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this conflict will not end until the Saudis run out of money.

[@lfmsmka]

nah It'll end when the Houthis are out but who knows what will happen with the two parts of Yemen after the war, cuz many in the south believe unification can't stay, only time will till

[@spidyman8853]

I only care about South Yemen. Let's hope the South resolves the Electricity issue that has been plaguing the city of Aden since the conflict kicked off in 2015. The Saudis supposedly are here to defeat the Houthis and war was meant to last no more than a few months however, ended up going for 7 years and is still going. What a complete farce. I just think the Saudis are either too pathetically feeble or just playing delay tactics to prolong the war and eventually want to control the whole of Yemen. Which obviously, would be in their dreams as the South has no interest in the continuation of this farcical unification. In Summery this whole war came about due to :- 1. Poor unification between North and South Yemen. With the South now wanting their country back as former president Saleh reneged on the unification agreement which effectively caused a failure of the unification in 1994. 2. Power craze former President Saleh wanting to control Yemen by himself and his family 3. Iran pushing to get a power grip in the ME region So you see Yemen has many issues dating back to many years..............................

[@nicotjondronegoro6782]

Excellent video Hilbert very informative on an extremely complex topic. As an episode suggestion for your world War 2 series can you do a video about China's role during the Second World War. They had a very important but largely forgotten role in the war and they suffered some of the worst atrocities of the entire war and indeed of world history such as the rape of nanking in which Japanese troops raped up to 80 thousand women, savagely murdered babies, children and women and killed upwards of 300, 000 civilians and destroyed 1/3 of the entire city. I think a discussion of this would make an excellent episode shedding light on an event almost completely unknown of in the west.

Honestly the Houthis are impressive. Though they do have Iranian backing, Iran can't support them as much as they do with Hezbollah, but still they fight the Saudi Army effectively, one of the most well armed armies in the middle east.

do you know that saudi arabia the second most army in the world pay for wepons and still they lose against houthies even more than russia and china

[@Reznov141]

It’s not about military comparison, sure the saudis is more powerful, but the crown prince of saudi arabia said they could retake whole yemen in 2 days but it will be at the cost of many civilians and damage cities infrastructure, plus the houthis use dirty tactics which is attack and retreat to highly densely populated city or town to avoid air strikes.

In religious regions and religious countries, "religion" is a tool used by the Sultans/Kings and Royals to control the local populous, while the locals practice the religion the powerful and wealthy go out in lavish parties do things that are considered "haram" and get away with it by hiding it really well, because if scandals erupt then the islamic constitution will strip the royals from their royalty. This is not only in the middle east, but in Europe and Christian countries, religion is overall a tool

Everyone is fighting against everyone for their own agenda, which in most cases seem to be rooted in some kind of religious ideology, rather than actually caring about peoples lives or personal happinesses. Somebody always wants to be right but not righteous in virtue. I see no point in any of this except to achieve religious isolation (everyone sees the world as I do) or for money aka greed. A sad state of affairs in that part of the world with no end in sight unfortunately. There was a time when the Middle East was the center of trade and education, welcoming all walks of life, no matter your religion, or background. I pray for all the innocent people involved who can only sit by and await their fate. Let us all ask better of ourselves and our fellow human beings. Thank you for the content and the desire to bring this conflict to light.

[@khaledalmalki2811]

Depends on who you are talking about specifically 😅 The southern separatist movement will agree to your joining because it considers it a media victory and evidence of Western support. On the other hand, the legitimate Yemeni government will also agree, but at the same time you will work in an environment that is being bombed by the Houthis, which is very dangerous if You went to the Saudis, you will find yourself working in charitable and humanitarian donations, but it only goes to the "liberated" areas. If you go to the Houthis, you may be arrested, as happened with some Americans and Germans, or you may be treated like African mercenaries with the Houthis. "Believe me, you do not want this treatment."

[@atanasstoilov421]

You completely missed the 2004 - 2011 period when Yemeni army and the Houthis fought six wars in which the Ansar Allah , the Houthies were increasingly victorious. Also you omitted the fact that if it wasn't the Emirati and Saudi invasion in 2015 it was in a matter of weeks if not days for the Ansar allah to take over all of Yemen.
