[@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.

[@nl.dauhoo]

As a Muslim woman I thank you for all the lights that you bring on what happened in the Muslim land in the past 100 years or so. I am really sorry that and grateful to you got this vicarious trauma from the research that you had to impose on yourself to uncover these truths. May you be rightly guided and blessed for all as a blessing for your endeavors!

[@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.

[@brudamonas8208]

i wonder what you think about the muslim brotherhood

[@mohamedsamy1431]

@@brudamonas8208 I would like to think of myself as an intellectual, so I'm against all forms of theocracy, including the Muslim Brotherhood. However, I"m also against brutally killing them and removing them by force from power after they were democratically elected. The current Egyptian president is much worse than the Muslim Brotherhood in my opinion.

[@binlegend]

Yemeni people owe great debt for the Egyptian heroes! Thank you

[@UnattendedNarrative]

Greetings from Yemen, I just stumbled across a lecture of yours appeared on my recommendation and now I nearly finished listening to all of them, I enjoyed every second, thank you for making them online. need more please, wish you all the best. Btw, it's the opposite, 3/4 are sunnis in Yemen, also Saudis and UAE had a part in supporting Alli Saleh who supported Huthis who are the minority to enter sana'a and overthrow the new weak government Actually it's more complex nearly in all Arab spring countries Saudis and UAE had part in making things unstable.. you need to dig deeper regarding this part

[@Spirit5Smile]

how are you gonna tell a professor on the topic to "dig deeper"? lmao. do you have anything factual backing up these claims?

[@astroflyinsights]

​@@Spirit5Smilehe's right though. You can start with who is sponsoring RSF in Sudan and why. You can look into who is occupying Socotra and why. Saudi is sitting these ones out.

[@user-xt4vb4xp5g]

It was the muslim brotherhood "Islah party" who first alliance with the Huthies to nock off Saleh and asked his vice Hadi to officially apologise for the lunching six war on them. But that was ok with every body then. But when Saleh alliance with them just to defend Yemen against a foreign attack he is the bad guy now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@UnattendedNarrative]

@@Spirit5Smile a human is always a learner plus that's not history, it's the current times plus I live there plus there are a lot of easily reachable "independent" documents backing up this. History is more complicated to dig deeper than the current times especially regarding the losing side, and the current times will be later history, we need to make sure it's recorded correctly.

[@Spirit5Smile]

[@commandermalek6100]

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.

Sunnis are 70 % in yemen not 25% .. hothies are less than 25% , i like your way but to say a fundmental information like this wrong ,, i m sad

[@bdot187um]

Yeah even though he has a great way of laying out a lecture...some of historical information are way off!

[@RaaaYG4eveR]

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.

[@Fifi-jb3yx]

Yes most yemenis are sunni and a sizeable minority are zaydi, not even the same shia as most

[@temasek65]

Surprised that Iran’s great influence on the Houthis and the Shia people not mentioned.

Every sources available say Shia is not the majority in Yemen. It is 65% Sunni and 35% Shia who now rule Yemen. Still it is better than Syria where 15% Shia minority is the ruler. Believe me, minority ruling over majority will never work. It only could because someone help propping it up. But there will be war forever.

Appreciate the efforts of Professor There are many useful and interrelated facts But there is a mistake The people in Egypt did not revolt against President Morsi, but rather the remnants of the followers of the former regime of Hosni Mubarak, with the help of the army, Sisi internally, Israel, America, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia externally, then Sisi carried out a military coup and was not elected.

Correction !!! Yemenis Shia are a minority representation less than 3% but there is around 30% of zaidis which are much closer to Sunnis than Shia . And houthis wasn’t a revolution but rather a coup against the government that they signed a peace deal and political agreement but turned against it and broke a deal with Ali Abudallh the former dictator that fought houthis for 6 wars . With Ali saleh ambitions to get back in power and houthis hope for power. And Iran hope to install puppet governments in Yemen 🇾🇪 we end up with civil war

Let's ignore the fact that 50% of the Yemeni people are Sunna, the Yemeni shia are Zaydia Shia, which are FAR closer religiously to Sunna that the Extremest 12er Shia. In fact the 12er Shia consider them disbelevers, and they consider the 12ers the disbelevers too. The 5% Jarudie Shia are allied militarily allied with the 12ers of Iran, and thanks to Obama's nuclear deal with iran, Iran was able to spend all all it's income on the Jarodies (AKA "huthi" rebels), along with hizbolla in Lebanon. Beond killing the population, the huthis capture Saudi and international humanitarian aid, and sell it for weapons and force labor. That, along with holding the oil tanker in disrepair of their cost, and using it as an ecological time bomb, by blocking all efforts to repair it, before it spills it's oil into the Arabian and red seas
