HOUTHIS CEASEFIRE? REALLY?

 

• WASHINGTON — Oman mediated ceasefire between  Houthis and U.S.
• Neither side will target the other, including U.S. vessels
• The statement made no mention of the Houthi attacks on Israel.
• President Trump announced U.S. would stop bombing the Houthis
• Houthis agreed to stop interrupting shipping in the Middle East.
• “They said please don’t bomb us any more ” Trump said
• “I will accept their word, we are going to stop bombing Houthis immediately.”
• "I think the attacks are going to stop both ways," he said.
• In March Trump launched biggest military operation against the Houthis
• Trump said will take the Houthis’ word
• U.S. struck more than 1,000 targets in Yemen, since March 15
• Israel airstrike on airport in Sanaa Tuesday
• Trump decided to significantly intensify air strikes against Houthis

My Comments:

Other reports say the Houthis have gone back on their ceasefire. There are 57 members of the Organisation of Islamic Countries. Out of these 57 countries only Iran and the Yemen Houthis (who are both Shia) have been getting involved in these military escapades. And Hezbollah of Lebanon who were also Shias. Even Syria, who were also Shias chose to stay out of this conflict. Both Hezbollah and Shia Syria have since been wiped out.

Now the Houthis want to ceasefire? So what have they achieved? Their country has been bombed to the Stone Age. Their international airport does not exist anymore. What have they achieved for their people? Nothing.

Yemen is a country where many people walk around without wearing any shoes on their feet.  They have little food to eat and they are also short of water. When you watch them on TV they look unwashed and dusty. 

Yet they can spend money shooting highly inaccurate but  multi million US dollar missiles at international shipping and at Israel. Those ballistic missiles that can fly 1,200 km cost millions of US Dollars each. 

So what did they achieve? Someone must have been paid cash. Obviously their leaders have been paid off by the ayatollahs. Otherwise 'what did they achieve?'
