Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Highlight Yemen's Struggle

On September 14, 2026, Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting its fuel pipeline and military infrastructure, dominated global news. The narrative often depicts Saudi Arabia as the victim; however, the article argues that Saudi Arabia has been the aggressor since March 26, 2015, when it began bombing Yemen.

The Houthis, representing a significant portion of Yemen's population, are portrayed as fighting in self-defense against Saudi-led military interventions that include Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, and three African nations: Sudan, Egypt, and Morocco. The article references a previous column from December 1, 2017, detailing the extensive civilian casualties and humanitarian crisis in Yemen, where over 12,000 civilians have died, and millions suffer from malnutrition and disease.

The UAE's actions in seizing Yemeni territories during this conflict are also noted, emphasizing the complexity of the situation and the silence of the international community regarding the humanitarian crisis.
