It's tragic what is happening in Yemen.....a horrible foreign policy move by Obama/Biden admin, that left the nation in a civil war backed by Iranian terrorist.
Trump refused to totally bail on these people, that were left in harms way by Obama/Biden.....and now, Biden takes the Oval, and turns the nation over to the Iranians, so the people are now starving and suffering....just tragic...but typical of leftist regimes, in particular those owned by Iran
Biden won't turn Yemen over to Iran. Yemen has had civil strife and poverty for 70 years. First the Communists fought the Monarchists.. Now its Al Houthis, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and other radicalized groups. You probably should learn something about Yemen. They were NOT abandoned by Obama.
by turning his back on the Govt, he is handing over the country to the Iranian backed terrorist.
I didn't say Obama abandoned them...in fact, he and Biden's admin failed foreign policies are a large reason for the conflict.
“This strategy of taking out
terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we
have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years,” Obama said
The Obama administration may think it’s winning the fight against Al Qaeda and building democracy in Yemen. But that’s not the way it looks on the ground.

Yemen has been a lawless, dangerous place since I was a girl.. and that's a lifetime ago. The Saudis have supported them with healthcare, jobs, education, food, medicine, clean water and gasoline for decades. Obama was right and they struggled along for years until the al Houthis supported by Iran overthrew the government. The Saudis want them to be peaceful and prosperous. They don't want a failed state on their border.
I don't know that there is much the US or Europe can do to fix things. The various jihadi groups don't care about the deaths or starvation or disease or the collapse of literacy. I would continue to support the Saudis, help keep the Bab al Mandab open to shipping and hope for the best.
