For centuries, MiddleEast and its surroundings have always been a boiling pot. Until the discovery of petrol rich territories, poverty, clan fights, wars, water disputes, civil wars, and ongoing fights to change Shia vs Sunni balance within the region has probably shed more blood than region's water sources.
Yemen is the poorest country within the region, with one key strategic factor in its hand: Aden. Where almost all Arab and Persian oil passes through. Saudis, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt and obviously U.S is giving support to prevent Houthi's (Shia) , backed up by Iran, to gain control of Aden Port which they are so close right now. If this happens, oil prices would hit sky high, leading a chaos in oil dependant countires, and their cost of productions to exports.
Therefore, when I watch UN, US, EU, and the other big brothers's statements, it makes me feel so sad to see those helpless Yemenis suffer air-strikes leadin 53 civillian deaths...
So don't tell me that all this is for Yemen and Yemenis ! Because Yemen just looks like a beautiful little Gazelle in Serengeti, with a broken leg, being gulped down by predetors.
Not to mention that Pakistani army is also now on highest aler, so I would not be surprised if they somehow start marching on to the war zone soon...
As always, children are the most affected ones without having a clue of why all this is happening. Act now and save children in Yemen today !!!
God Bless them all !
