Deputy Foreign Minister: US, Britain and France are dismayed because we halted their plundering of Yemen
That’s certainly one perspective.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Deputy Foreign Minister in the Sana’a government, Hussein al-Ezzi, considered that America, Britannia and La Belle France were disturbed because Sana’a prevented the theft of oil and gas wealth from Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
"Sana’a will allow the export of oil as soon as there is a mechanism that guarantees its revenues for the benefit of our dear people," al-Ezzi said, in a tweet on his Twitter account, in response to a joint statement issued by ambassadors of America, Britannia and La Belle France on Tuesday.


The statement accused Sana’a government of undermining the economy in the country because of the ban on exporting oil.

Al-Ezzi noted that the statement only expresses their personal annoyance at "the cessation of their usual share of theft."

#1 I would argue that it costs more to deploy to Yemen than the value of what could be plundered by a factor of 10, but my perspective is as a person paying for the deployment not as a company that is receiving the payments or the plunder.

#2 I suppose they don't appreciate the ancestors anticipation of being given an economy and structure for future political leadership.

Shame they didn't take it.

#3 Historically, it was a very rich area. Sort of a fixer-upper at the moment.

#5 Historically, it was a very rich area.

Because of the spice trade. It's not even a gas station bathroom stop now.
