[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Sheikh Saad al-Farajahi, a social dignitary from Socotra said that the island has been "witnessing a flour and various foodstuffs crisis."
"For a whole week, I have been looking for a bag of flour for my children in the island’s markets to no avail," al-Farajahi said
He accused UAE and Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... of being "behind the famine that is killing the sons of Socotra, and causing an unprecedented crisis in the lack of flour and wheat,"
"The spectre of starvation is gradually hitting the island," he added.
He stressed that "Saudi Arabia and the UAE agree to disrupt service life, and to thwart any meetings of the executive office in the province."
Al-Farajahi called for a massive popular uprising against the UAE-Saudi occupation on the island, in order to restore the national illusory sovereignty and dignity of the residents on the Socotra.
He pointed out that a UAE militia has thwarted a meeting held at the end of May, chaired by Governor Ramzi Mahrous and aimed at developing a plan and strategy to provide food and secure the island during the monsoon period.
In the past hours of Sunday, Socotra witnessed angry protest demanding the UAE’s departure from the island.
The UAE imposed its military control over the island’s capital city of Hadibo in June 2020, after expelling Islah Party authorities stationed there.

Botanically, the most interesting island in the world. Socially, just another muslim hellhole.
Leaders of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) have threatened on Monday to intervene militarily in support of the protests taking place in the city of Aden, south of 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... Shallal Shaye, the commander of the so-called anti-terror forces of the STC, said on Twitter: "We will stand with all our strength to protect the demonstrators and support their demands to freedom and a decent life, where it is not possible to stand and watch our proud southern people die of starvation."
For his part, Abbas al-Dhalei, a southern Yemeni leader affiliated with the Islah Party, which opposes the STC and supports the Saudi-led Presidential Council, said on Twitter: "The STC funded by Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... and the UAE is pushing its supporters to demonstrate and demand the expulsion of the Riyadh-formed Presidential Council and its government, as well as engaging in the closure of roads leading to the Ma’ashiq Palace and the burning of tyres."
He added: "Aden is experiencing the tragedy of the absence of the state, the militia’s control, and the absence of services."
The city of Aden has witnessed a wave of demonstrations and widespread popular protests for days, during which the main streets were cut off to demand the departure of the the Saudi-led coalition government and the Riyadh-run Presidential Council.

[JPost] At least they got rid of that Effective, but Icky, Bibi, right?
Israel will be entering its fifth election in 3 and a half years • Earlier in the day, the government defeated two votes of no confidence
Israel is heading to its fifth election in three and a half years, after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid gave up Monday on their efforts to stabilize the coalition.
In a joint statement, Bennett and Lapid said they would bring a bill to dissolve the Knesset to a vote next Monday. There is a consensus in the coalition and opposition on an October 25 date for the election.
Sources close to Bennett said the duo’s goal was to initiate an election on their own terms and not be forced out by opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the coalition agreement, Lapid will become caretaker prime minister until the election and until the new government takes power. He is set to greet US President Joe Biden when he comes to Israel next month.
At a Knesset press conference, Bennett said his move to initiate an election was "not easy" but "the right decision." He said he did everything possible to maintain the government for longer.

Always thought the parliamentary form of government was massively inefficient.... looking at the current $hit$how here, I begin to see the point of canning a loser admin ASAP.
