Islah is now a major force in supporting and fighting for the Saudi-led coalition. The coalition appears also to have accepted al-Qaeda linked forces joining in some of its offensives as well. The GCC states can't seem to makeup their minds whether supporting MB-allied movements is equitable to terrorism or not.<br /><br />The Houthis and Saleh claim to be waging a "war against terrorism" and have defined a vast array of domestic opponents as terrorists, just like the Egyptian regime did. Egyptian propagandists claimed that a "Free Egyptian Army" was being setup to fight in Egypt, but instead Egypt itself is actually contributed to something like that in Yemen.<br /><br />Basically, the Egyptian regime claims all sorts of absurdities but is violating its own rhetoric and claims in its foreign policy conduct. Saleh is scum and the Houthis pushed things too far, but the coalition is barbaric and obsessed with dominating Yemen. The real point of the Yemen war is to help Saudi Arabia maintain control over yet another part of the Arab world.<br /><br />The Arab world will have trouble progressing as long as Arab leaderships continue to destroy and tear apart said world.Orange Ketchuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147889868883061979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-14096772831882626502015-08-03T19:46:22.749+02:002015-08-03T19:46:22.749+02:00It was a mockery of the Egyptian state's argum...It was a mockery of the Egyptian state's arguments about terrorism and wanton tossing around of the "MB" label. The Egyptian government normally labels everyone other than ex-regime figures as "terrorists" and "MB supporters" in post-revolution countries, even to the point of accusing post-revolution governments of being terrorist-led/MB states. If Egypt was consistent, it would have to argue that it is itself sponsoring terrorism and backing the MB/Ikwan in Yemen by fighting against Saleh's military units and the Republican Guards. Yet in Yemen, it is hypocritically not applying this standard; even to the point of backing very radical forces, including extreme Islamists. They allied with Qatar in this endeavor and have tepid verbal backing from Turkey.<br /><br />What Egypt is doing in Yemen discredits its views toward Libya and Gaza. They want ex-Qaddafi figures to be prominent in Libya, Mahmoud Dahlan in Gaza/possibly also the West Bank, and ex-NDP/military figures to dominate Egypt itself yet suddenly are taking a very different tack in Yemen. <br /><br />At the very least, the aerial attacks on civil infrastructure like hospitals and other facilities, as well as the starvation tactics, need to be acknowledged as war crimes. The war is Saudi-led, but it has further exposed the duplicitous and hypocritical nature of Arab dictatorships.Orange Ketchuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147889868883061979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-68085301353613448412015-08-02T21:30:42.273+02:002015-08-02T21:30:42.273+02:00But, Orange Ketchup, I must disagree about Egypt&#...But, Orange Ketchup, I must disagree about Egypt's involvement in Yemen. One may reasonably oppose the actions, but they are not terrorism. It's a war being fought, in which Egypt is involved through its regular, uniformed, armed forces, in support of the long-standing government of Yemen (albeit a pretty bad one I admit), in the interest of regional stability (I suppose).<br /><br />Sorry for the run-on sentence, but the point is, it's a war. Unfortunately civilians always die in wars. Just because it's a war doesn't make it terrorism.Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483533569486348304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-76992977517946228562015-07-28T21:35:38.934+02:002015-07-28T21:35:38.934+02:00Also disgusting that the terroristic Egyptian dict...Also disgusting that the terroristic Egyptian dictatorship is aiding the spread of famine and vast infrastructure destruction in Yemen.
