Southern Yemeni separatist mercenaries offer to aid Zionist shipping in Red Sea while IKEA frets shipments won’t arrive for Xmas

2023-12-21

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), said that it would be with any coalition that would "protect international navigation" from what it called "acts of piracy in the Red and Arab Sea" carried out by Sana’a forces against Israeli occupation ships.

"We will be with any effort or alliance that would protect international navigation from piracy carried out by the Iran's Houthi sock puppets

...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
militias in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea," Fadel al-Jaadi, the Secretary-General of STC said in a post on his X account.

He added, "The visit of the head of STC to Bab al-Mandab bears an indication of readiness to participate in the battle to protect international waterways."

Al-Jaadi’s statements came after the 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...
i armed forces carried out military operations in the Red Sea in support of the oppressed Paleostinian people in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, who are currently subjected to killing, destruction, and siege by the Zionists with the support of the United States and Western governments.

The Yemeni forces affiliated with the Sanaa regime pledged to target Israeli ships and ships heading to the Zionist entity in the Red and Arab Sea unless the aggression and blockade imposed on Gaza ends.

The visit of STC Chairman Aidarous al-Zubaidi to Bab al-Mandab yesterday sparked widespread reactions, as many analysts have seen it as a signal of the STC’s willingness to participate in the protection of Israeli ships.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Major shipping companies such as MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM have already paused container shipments through the area due to the surge in attacks.

Now Ikea has warned of delays and shortages to some products as the budget furniture maker looks to find an alternative route for its cargo vessels.

A spokesperson for Inter Ikea Group, said: 'What we can share for now is that the situation in the Suez Canal will result in delays and may cause availability constraints for certain Ikea products.'

#1 The IKEA thing is BS. Christmas merchandise has been here since late summer.

Retail purchasing is about six months of when it hits the shelves.

All of the summer merchandise has already been ordered and will hit the US in April. Winter merchandise will be ordered by late Spring for arrival in October.

IKEA might well have a different problem and is just using this as a cover story.
