File under: Houthis

#1 No need to bomb the Houthi back into the Stone Age. To avoid embarrassing civilian casualties, I am sure we aimed at some sand dunes and will offer reparations for any camel herds that were turned into an inadvertent baloney mist. If there are no more drone or missile strikes, I will be proved wrong, but I suspect this is for consumption in the States and no military objectives were achieved.

Under pressure: Houthis target Yemeni government with economic warfare

#4 households have an average of 6.7 people, according to pre-war state figures, the livelihood of nearly 3.4 million people is now on the brink

Given that, as far as I can tell, the average household is supported by one person working part time, while the rest sit around chewing qat..

Why have they not all starved to death already?
