US, Britain and Israel Move to Illegally Control Yemeni Island of Mayon
The UAE is still practicing its aggressive behavior towards Yemen through its relentless pursuit to achieve the agendas of America, Britain and Israel represented in dominating the islands of Yemen, including the island of Mayon.
The UAE is trying to change its demographic identity to achieve complete control of this island, which lies in the heart of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the fourth most important waterway in the world.
Similar to what the UAE has done and is doing on the island of “Socotra”, the UAE is trying to change the demographic identity of “Mayon” island through suspicious charitable projects, the latest of which is the project of building housing units that was signed by the governor of Aden Ahmed Hamed Lamlas with the Sheikh of Mayon Island Saleh Ali Saeed.
Suspicious Projects
The real goals of the Emirati projects, including the project to build housing units on the island of Mayun, are no longer hidden from anyone, especially after the real goals of these projects on the island of “Socotra” were revealed, which were only part of the plan to seize the island, and attempts to change the geographical and demographic map of the island.
It aims at separating them from Yemen with the participation of its mercenaries, the “Transitional Council”, which was chosen by the UAE to carry out this task, which was evident in the UAE’s assignment of the task of signing the agreement for the project of building housing units on Mayon Island to the Governor of Aden “Lamles”.
Military occupation of the island
Due to the importance of the location of Mayon Island to control the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which is the main trade route between East and West, the Emirates hastened to occupy the island since the beginning of the aggressive war on Yemen in March 2015.
Although the US-Saudi forces denied the presence of Emirati forces on the island, the Associated Press confirmed, in early March, 2021, the presence of these forces on the island, and published satellite images showing the establishment of an aircraft runway on the island with a length of 1800 meters.
The UAE is a tool of the great powers
Everyone knows that the UAE’s occupation of the Yemeni islands comes within international colonial plans through which the US and Israel seek to find a foothold in the Yemeni coasts and islands and extend their influence and control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait in a manner that achieves the economic interests and political and military influence of these powers and this is what the supported Emirates are doing Militarily and financially.
It seized the Yemeni coasts, ports and islands, and handing them over to the US and the Zionist entity, whose interests converge with those of the Gulf states that have openly normalized.

Unidentified marches raise terror among coalition forces in Socotra
The Saudi-led coalition forces in the Yemeni island of Socotra experienced hours of terror on Wednesday morning against the backdrop of unidentified drones flying over the island, local sources reported.
The sources said that the people of Hadibo city, the capital of the island, were surprised by the firing of air defenses, before they knew that there were attempts to shoot down a drone that was hovering over the island, east of the Gulf of Aden.
The sources suggested that it was a reconnaissance plane to assess the level and quality of air defenses maintained by the coalition forces on the island of Socotra, 240 kilo meters away from the nearest point on the Yemeni mainland.
The coalition forces are currently in a state of alert after the drone flew over the island, according to the sources.

Wide Condemnations for US Intelligence Moves in Hadhramaut
Condemnations of American intelligence moves in the occupied Hadhramaut governorate continued, considering that these moves confirm the United States' involvement in the looting of Yemen's oil and wealth.
In a statement, the National Front to Resist the Invasion and Occupation in the Southern Governorates condemned the visit of the ambassador and the US intelligence and military delegation to the governorate, stressing that this visit was a blatant interference in local affairs and a violation of international norms and laws.
It considered that the intensive American moves after the decision to protect national wealth confirm the Americans' involvement in the looting of Yemeni oil over the past years.
It pointed out that the visit of the "American ambassador" and the military, intelligence and economic delegation to Mukalla comes within the framework of the movements of the Americans and the countries of aggression and their mercenaries to resume oil production and export without adhering to the clear conditions and warnings of Sana'a in this regard.

UN starts emergency plan to salvage Yemen’s corroding oil tanker
The UN has begun phase one of an emergency plan to rescue a deteriorating oil tanker near Yemen’s western city of Hodeidah after obtaining funding from donors, a UN official told Arab News, boosting hopes of defusing the country’s “ticking time bomb.”
Russell Geekie, communication officer for UN Humanitarian Coordinator David Gressly, said that the UN is in negotiations with a company to rescue the tanker as well as secure a vessel to offload the oil, and that a team is working on drafting a rescue strategy.
“Preparatory work for the operation has already begun, including the processes to contract the salvage company and procure the vessel that will hold the oil,” Geekie said.
“Completion of a detailed operational plan and procurement of the vessel are the two major steps ahead of the work on the water,” he added.
The UN “will be able to provide a timetable for the work upon completion of the detailed operational plan,” Geekie said.
“We expect the salvage company will send a team to Yemen in November to finalize the detailed plan.”

US-Saudi Military Escalation in Yemen Increasing as Truce Negotiations Continue to Fail
Indications are intensifying, day after day, that the situation in Yemen may return to before the truce, in light of the continued stumbling in negotiations to extend and expand it, and the absence of any sign of the possibility of its solution soon.
While the US, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are exploiting the state of no war nor peace in order to strengthen their presence in the southern and eastern governorates, Sanaa monitored that and other facts, including the continuation of military mobilization operations and the establishment of new restrictions on Sanaa airport and the port of Hodeidah, as ammunition for a “ticking bomb” that could explode at any moment.
Far from the entitlements of truce, and in complete contradiction to the efforts aimed at preventing the collapse of the cease-fire agreement that entered into force on the 2nd of last April, Saudi Arabia and the United States, in the past few days, have pushed more of their forces to the southern and eastern Yemeni governorates rich in oil and strategic ports.
Similarly, the UAE has taken advantage of the prevailing state of no war nor peace, to consolidate its control over the islands of Socotra and Abd al-Kuri, east of the Gulf of Aden, and to consolidate its influence on the strategic Mayon Island overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait and international shipping lines in the Red Sea.
In this regard, follow-up sources confirmed to Al-Akhbar that a new batch of US forces arrived on a military cargo plane at Al-Rayyan Airport, which since 2016 has hosted a US-Emirati military base in Hadhramaut, in the east of the country.
The sources indicated that these new reinforcements came, apparently, at the request of the pro-aggression government in the city of Aden, under the justification of protecting the southern oil ports, from which Sana’a forces had stopped the export of oil last month, through a warning strike targeting the port of Dabba .
This comes in parallel with Saudi moves in the Hadhramaut Valley for weeks, aimed at recruiting about 30,000 new members of the governorate, in return for the UAE’s efforts to establish its presence on Mayon Island, where the local authorities in Taiz governorate reported a displacement process that the island’s residents have been subjected to for days at the hands of Emirati forces.
For its part, Sanaa continues to monitor these movements, which it describes as "provocative to the Yemeni people", and is discussing the "appropriate" response to them.
In this context, the head of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, accused the United States of thwarting peace efforts in Yemen, and of thwarting the progress made by regional and international mediation during the past period, describing the current situation as a "time bomb that can explode at any moment."
Al-Mashat pointed out that "there are parties benefiting from the war that are pushing towards a resurgence of military escalation and the collapse of negotiations," adding that "the truce negotiations have already reached a good level, but the American envoy, Tim Lenderking, has deliberately thwarted it during his previous tour in the region.

Saudi prince’s new title key to dodging lawsuit over killing
It raised eyebrows six weeks ago when Saudi Arabia’s aged king, Salman, named his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as prime minister. The kingdom’s laws designate the king as prime minister. King Salman had to declare a temporary exception to loan out the title, and at the same time made clear he retains key duties.
But that move reaped dividends Thursday, when the Biden administration declared that Prince Mohammed’s standing as prime minister shielded him from a U.S. lawsuit over what the U.S. intelligence community says was his role in Saudi officials’ 2018 killing of a U.S.-based journalist. A judge will now decide whether Prince Mohammed has immunity.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby insisted Friday that the administration’s declaration of immunity for Saudi Arabia’s crown prince was purely a “legal determination” that “has absolutely nothing to do with the merits of the case itself.”
Many experts in international law agreed with the administration — but only because of the king’s late September title boost for the crown prince, ahead of a scheduled U.S. decision.
“It would have been just as remarkable for the United States to deny MBS’s head-of-state immunity after his appointment as Prime Minister as it would have been for the United States to recognize MBS’s head-of-state immunity before his appointment,” William S. Dodge, a professor at the University of California-Davis School of Law, wrote, using the prince’s initials.

Biden blesses MBS immunity for Khashoggi murder
If these are the ‘consequences’ for Saudi Arabia’s OPEC slight, it’s hard to see what an actual punishment might be.
The Biden administration has moved to grant Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sovereign immunity for his role in ordering the 2018 murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul.
The government’s determination is nonbinding and remains to be reviewed by the judge overseeing the lawsuit brought against MBS by Khashoggi’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, and the organization Democracy for the Arab World Now, or DAWN. However, it represents the latest signal that the Biden administration will not hold MBS accountable for the slaying and dismemberment of a U.S. resident.
In September, Saudi Arabia announced that the crown prince would take on the role of Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, a post ordinarily held by the king. The decision appears to have been primarily motivated by the pending U.S. lawsuit, because, as prime minister and thus head of government, MBS is shielded from prosecution.
The crown prince’s new status as prime minister arguably grants him sovereign immunity automatically. But the announcement is disappointing in that it reflects a pattern of the U.S. government failing to hold MBS accountable in any way.
Is MBS fully rehabilitated? Theoretically, MBS could return to the United States, if he chose, whereas previously there remained a question of whether doing so would put him in legal jeopardy. MBS has yet to return to the UK, even missing the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, an event that drew monarchs and crown princes from all the other Arab kingdoms.
It seems much of the world has decided to overlook MBS’ responsibility for the gruesome murder, not to mention his many other human rights abuses.

U.S. intelligence report says key gulf ally meddled in American politics
The United Arab Emirates steered U.S. foreign policy in its favor through a series of legal and illegal exploits, according to an unprecedented U.S. intelligence document.
U.S. intelligence officials have compiled a classified report detailing extensive efforts to manipulate the American political system by the United Arab Emirates, an influential, oil-rich nation in the Persian Gulf long considered a close and trusted partner.

The activities covered in the report, described to The Washington Post by three people who have read it, include illegal and legal attempts to steer U.S. foreign policy in ways favorable to the Arab autocracy. It reveals the UAE’s bid, spanning multiple U.S. administrations, to exploit the vulnerabilities in American governance, including its reliance on campaign contributions, susceptibility to powerful lobbying firms and lax enforcement of disclosure laws intended to guard against interference by foreign governments, these people said.

Intel community sounds alarm about UAE’s US meddling
A new report suggests the Gulf State’s influence over American politics has now risen to the level of a national security challenge.
The United Arab Emirates’ well-documented efforts to steer U.S. foreign policy to the Gulf state’s benefit has become a national security challenge, now rising to the attention of the National Intelligence Council, the intelligence community’s hub that draws on information from 18 U.S. intelligence agencies and serves as a bridge between the intelligence community and policymakers, according to reporting published over the weekend by Washington Post reporter John Hudson.
The intelligence community’s concerns about the UAE’s efforts to influence U.S. policy, which have been compiled in a classified report, shows that the intelligence community is closely tracking the efforts of the Gulf state to gain influence in Washington, a trend of behavior that journalists and activists have also documented in recent years.
In other words, concerns of UAE meddling in U.S. politics has now risen to a national security concern shared by the U.S. intelligence community. That scrutiny from the intelligence agencies is highly unusual as the agencies are mandated to focus on foreign threats and typically avoid engaging in activities that could be seen as studying U.S. politics or U.S. officials.
Hudson, reporting on conversations he had with anonymous sources in the intelligence community who had read the classified report, wrote:

While the National Intelligence Council report was privy to classified information about illegal UAE meddling in America, publicly available information shows the UAE operates one of the largest legal influence operations in the United States. As documented in a forthcoming Quincy Institute brief, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) registered lobbying, public relations, and other firms working on behalf of the UAE in 2020 and 2021 reported more than 10,000 political activities on behalf of their Emirati clients.

What Is Behind Escalation Against Yemeni Fishermen by the US Navy?
The activity of US forces in the waters surrounding Yemen has increased significantly over the past two months.
However, the American moves, in recent times, have taken a more violent character, compared to the previous situation, as the US Navy opened fire on a fishing boat last Sunday, killing a fisherman and wounding two others on the coast of Al-Mahra Governorate, east of the country.
The attack on Al-Mahra fishermen came about a week after the US Navy arrested a number of Yemeni fishermen off the coast of Hodeidah in the Red Sea in western Yemen.
The American attack on the Yemeni fishermen is considered a serious indication about the extent of tension coexisting with the US forces present in the waters of the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea surrounding Yemen.
Observers believe that the United States has raised the level of alert off the coast of Yemen, as part of what appears to be American preparations to launch a new phase of conflict within the maritime shipping lines in the Red and Arab seas, which Yemen has most of their shores.
Observers believe that the American attacks on Yemeni fishermen indicate a possible military escalation in Yemen. The attacks launched by US forces on Yemeni fishermen in less than a week indicate that Washington decided to abandon the policy of playing behind the scenes and directly intervene in the war on Yemen.
In 2021, the United States announced the formation of a new alliance in the Red Sea under the pretext of “protecting navigation in the Red Sea,” but that alliance took a suspicious form, in terms of its lack of pretexts on the one hand, in addition to being outside the context of statements by American officials about what they describe as “risks” that threatens maritime navigation in the Red Sea.
These statements, in fact, express American tendencies in controlling Bab al-Mandab, and the islands of Yemen scattered in the natural extension of Bab al-Mandab in the Red and Arab seas. The United States is in coordination with the UAE regime regarding the latter's transfer of its forces from Eritrea to the Yemeni island of Mayon, located at the entrance to the Red Sea, the former commander of the US Central Command, Kenneth McKenzie, had previously admitted during an interview with Al-Jazeera in late May 2021,
The United States uses a number of pretexts to detonate navigation routes in Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea, it used the scenario of terrorist groups as one of the most prominent excuses to establish its military presence in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the islands of Yemen. The US may also wark to push terrorist groups to carry out attacks targeting commercial ships at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, to have it as excuse to impose a military presence on the outskirts of Bab al-Mandab and the islands of Yemen in the Red Sea.

Iran warns of 'destructive' impact as IAEA board passes West's resolution
Iran has repudiated a resolution submitted by the US and its allies to the UN nuclear agency’s Board of Governors, saying that its architects have drawn on recent riots in the country to pile up their political pressure on the Islamic Republic.
The International Atomic Energy Agency's board passed the resolution on Thursday, criticizing Iran for what it claimed as lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear agency.
The motion brought by the United States, Britain, France and Germany -- but voted against by China and Russia -- is the second of its kind within six months.
Iran's envoy to the IAEA Mohsen Naziri-Asl warned that the measure may "affect the process of our country's cooperation" with the UN nuclear agency.
"We firmly believe that this resolution will have no result... it is intended to justify more unilateral sanctions against the Iranian nation," he said, according to the IRNA news agency.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kana’ani earlier warned of the motion's "adverse effects" on the resolution of remaining technical issues with the agency.

Israel, US blame Iran as 'drone strike' hits tanker off Oman
Israel and the United States blamed Iran Wednesday after what they said was a drone strike against a tanker operated by an Israeli-owned firm carrying gas oil off the coast of Oman.
The Pacific Zircon was "hit by a projectile approximately 150 miles off the coast of Oman" on Tuesday, Singapore-based firm Eastern Pacific Shipping which operates the vessel said in a statement, adding that there were no reports of casualties or any leakage of the cargo.
"There is some minor damage to the vessel's hull but no spillage of cargo or water ingress," said the company which is owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer -- one of two sons of shipping magnate Sammy Ofer, who died in 2011.
The tanker was carrying 42,000 tonnes of gas oil and bound for Buenos Aires, according to Samir Madani, co-founder of website TankerTrackers.com, an oil shipping online research firm.
The Bahrain-based United States Fifth Fleet said it was "aware of the incident".

UN agency: Iran increases highly enriched uranium stockpile
The U.N. atomic watchdog said Thursday it believes that Iran has further increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and criticized Tehran for continuing to bar the agency’s officials from accessing or monitoring Iranian nuclear sites.
In its quarterly report, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that according to its assessment, as of Oct. 22, Iran has an estimated 62.3 kilograms (137.3 pounds) of uranium enriched to up to 60% fissile purity. That amounts to an increase of 6.7 kilograms since the IAEA’s last report in September.

It’s Time to Cut Off Arms Sales to the Saudi Regime
The Biden administration promised there would be “consequences” for Saudi Arabia’s recent actions.
Unfortunately, despite Democrats’ heated calls to punish Saudi Arabia—whether by withdrawing US troops from the kingdom, pausing weapons sales, or passing the “No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act of 2021” —it is unlikely that congressional ire will result in legislation being passed via the traditional route. By contrast, a War Powers Resolution focused on ending unauthorized US military support for Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen would both have privileged status and require prompt congressional action. It is the best way forward if the goal is to call Saudi Arabia to account. A War Powers Resolution is waiting to be brought to the floor, with the support of well over 100 members of Congress from both houses and parties. However, these cosponsorships will disappear once the 118th Congress convenes: The time for congressional action is now.
For its part, the Biden administration initially promised “consequences” for Saudi Arabia’s recent actions, but has since reasserted the importance of US-Saudi ties. It is quite possible that the kingdom and its de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman will get away—yet again—with a slap on the wrist. This is because neither the Biden administration nor a substantial portion of Congress wishes to antagonize a long-standing partner, especially one with such power over the global oil market.
But this outdated approach makes American citizens and elections vulnerable to the whims of the House of Saud.
When the United States represented the most powerful state in the global order, partner countries had no choice but to play by America’s rules. But now the Saudis, along with much of the rest of the world, have adjusted their behavior to a new, multipolar reality.
For now, however, Saudi Arabia’s military remains dependent on US weapons and spare parts. It would take years, if not decades, to switch to an alternate supplier, giving Washington considerable potential leverage over Saudi behavior with respect to Yemen, for example.
For now, however, Saudi Arabia’s military remains dependent on US weapons and spare parts. It would take years, if not decades, to switch to an alternate supplier, giving Washington considerable potential leverage over Saudi behavior with respect to Yemen, for example.
The United States should adapt to the new diffusion of power in the world by pursuing a more realistic foreign policy. Part of this reassessment must involve decoupling the interest of the US arms industry in reaping profits from sales to repressive regimes from US decision-making about what best serves the interests of peace and stability in key regions like the Middle East.
As part of a new, more realistic approach to foreign policy, the Biden administration would be wise to impose real consequences for Saudi actions on oil prices and the war in Yemen by cutting off all military support and arms exports until Riyadh curbs its destructive behavior, most importantly by ending US complicity in Saudi military intervention in Yemen.

Despite Saudi Disagreement with US, Interest Redline not Crossed
The American anger was mainly caused by the decision to reduce oil production in the interest of Russia, on which the West imposed heavy economic sanctions, the most important of which was giving up its oil and relying on the Middle East, including the American ally, “Riyadh,” and countries such as Venezuela.
National Security spokesman John Kirby confirmed in a press statement that Saudi Arabia was the one who pushed the OPEC countries to take the decision, adding that the production cut would "increase Russia's revenues and reduce the effectiveness of sanctions" imposed on Moscow after the special operation in Ukraine that began last February.
Amid the Saudi maneuvers and the attempt to appease the US, the question that arises is whether it is possible for Washington to abandon its interests with Saudi Arabia, especially since Saudi Arabia is the first and largest importer of American arms deals. Another question that imposes itself strongly is how can Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dissent against Washington, who only moves through high-level American advisors and experts who pay them millions?
On October 20, American documents revealed that 15 American generals worked directly with the Saudi Ministry of Defense and received large salaries ranging between 200-300 thousand dollars for the purpose of providing advice only, according to the “Washington Post” newspaper. The newspaper indicated that more than 500 American military personnel, including dozens of generals and admirals, have had lucrative jobs since 2015 in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
According to observers of the developments in US-Saudi relations, military experts believe that Saudi Arabia cannot dispense with America. Its approach to China and Russia takes decades to adapt to new weapons, including warplanes, which will greatly harm the Kingdom; As it is still launching war in Yemen, and without the strategic and logistical support that Washington is providing to Riyadh, the historical collapse and absolute loss are the most prominent consequences of the Saudi rebellion.
Since Riyadh cannot abandon the first ally, “America,” the recent events following what was circulated as a major dispute may lead to the severing of relations and the punishment of Saudi Arabia through Biden’s options. We find that the two parties actually hold relations, and that military and commercial cooperation continues. For nearly a month, we have not seen any shift in the American position towards bin Salman and the Kingdom.
On Wednesday, US State Department spokesman Ned Price confirmed that his country "will not hesitate to defend its interests and partners in the Middle East," referring specifically to Saudi Arabia.
Price said, in a press conference, that his country "is in constant contact through military, diplomatic and intelligence channels with the Saudis."

Mr Sunak used the meeting this morning to encourage Riyadh to produce more oil and gas as the disruption of supplies from Russia pushes up prices around the world.
But Downing Street admitted the PM did not mention the 2018 killing. "He didn't raise specific individual cases,’ his spokesman said. "That's not normally the norm in these sorts of things."

UK replenishes Saudi arsenal amid shaky Yemen truce
The biggest recipient of UK arms during the period was Qatar.
The Department for International Trade last week released its latest quarterly data for military and dual-use export licences issued between April-June 2022. CAAT has now completed its analysis of the data, made available on CAAT’s online data browser. [1]
The largest recipients, in terms of the value of single licences for military exports were:
Qatar – £2.6 billion
Saudi Arabia – £746 million
United States – £406 million
CAAT’s analysis shows that the great majority of the value of licences to Saudi Arabia were for “components for bombs”, worth £698 million,[2] as part of a licence issued on 20th June. These are most likely for Paveway IV precision-guided bombs, produced by Raytheon Systems UK, which have been extensively used by Saudi Arabia in their devastating bombing campaign in Yemen.
On the export of bomb components to Saudi Arabia, Sam Perlo-Freeman of Campaign Against Arms Trade said:
These weapons have one overriding purpose: to enable Saudi Arabia to resume its horrific bombing of Yemen should the worst happen and the country return to full-scale war. Beyond this, they strengthen and uphold a brutal regime that executes minors on trumped-up charges, routinely tortures prisoners to obtain confessions, and sends women to prison for decades for Tweets critical of the government. We are taking the UK government to court in January to prove – again – that these sales are illegal.

Katar: Was bei der Empörungs-WM ausgeblendet wird
Kriegswaffen für Diktaturen? – Normalität. WM-Halligalli – verwerflich? Was Deutschland und andere westliche Staaten sonst noch mit der Region verbindet – und was an der aktuellen Debatte heuchlerisch ist.
Einige Staaten , die in den Jemen-Krieg verwickelt sind, darunter die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate, Saudi-Arabien, Kuwait und Katar, befinden sich unter den Ländern, die Kriegswaffen aus Deutschland erhalten. Von dieser Verletzung des Paragraphen 6 Kriegswaffenkontrollgesetzes lenkt auch die Empörung über homophobe Äußerungen von Funktionären aus Katar im Zusammenhang mit der Fußballweltmeisterschaft der Männer ab.
Die fossilen Deals mit diesen Staaten, um keine Energie mehr aus dem kriegführenden Russland zu beziehen, drücken doppelte Standards gegenüber diesen Waffenkunden aus.
Der US-Trainer Gregg Berhalter besuchte gerade den Luftwaffenstützpunkt Al Udeid in Doha, Katar, wo er sich am "Veteranentag" und an den Feiern zum 75-jährige Bestehen der US-Luftwaffe beteiligte. Al Udeid ist der größte Luftwaffenstützpunkt der USA in der Region zwischen den Ölstaaten am Golf und dem Mittelmeer. Katar beteiligte sich an der Finanzierung und am Ausbau von Al Udeid, in den nach Schätzungen rund 1,8 Milliarden Dollar investiert wurden.
Al Udeid ist die Basis des Hauptquartiers des United States Central Command (USCC) und des United State Air Force Central Command (USAFCC). Während der intensivsten Phasen des Krieges gegen Afghanistan waren dort etwa 4000 US-Soldaten stationiert. Dort verkehrten neben den Jets der US Airforce auch Flugzeuge, die für die Betankung von Bombern und Kampfjets über Afghanistan zum Einsatz kamen.
Im September 2002 war die Zahl der amerikanischen Soldaten auf dem Luftwaffenstützpunkt auf etwa 2000 gesunken. Als Resultat der Erweiterung von Al Udeid in Katar kann der Stützpunkt bis zu 120 Flugzeuge und 10.000 Soldaten aufnehmen.
Die US-Armee ist in Katar nicht nur großzügig unterstützter Gast, sondern auch Partner bei Verletzungen des Völkerrechts, etwa in Afghanistan und im Irak sowie in Syrien.

Victims of Crimes in Yemen File Case Against Bin Zayed in European Court
Victims of torture and war crimes in Yemen intend to file a lawsuit against Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed at the European Court of Human Rights.
This comes after the French judiciary closed a case file filed in France against him, confirming previous decisions that talk about immunity he enjoys in exchange for an accusation of “complicity in acts of torture” in the context of the war in Yemen, which opens the door to the possibility of the complainants going to the European Court human rights.
France's top criminal court on Wednesday rejected attempts to reopen an investigation into the president of the United Arab Emirates over his alleged complicity in torture in Yemen.
The Court of Cassation confirmed a lower-court decision to close a probe into Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, which began after a complaint by a human rights group and six Yemenites in 2018.
The plaintiffs had appealed against the decision to drop the case against "MBZ" because he benefits from diplomatic immunity.
The court ruled that there were "no grounds to accept an appeal" in a written decision seen by AFP on Wednesday.

U.S. Naval Forces Intercept Explosive Material Bound for Yemen
By U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Public Affairs | November 15, 2022
On Nov. 8, U.S. 5th Fleet intercepted a fishing vessel in the Gulf of Oman smuggling lethal aid, including a large quantity of explosive material, from Iran to Yemen.
U.S. Coast Guard ship USCGC John Scheuerman (WPC 1146) and guided-missile destroyer USS The Sullivans (DDG 68) interdicted the vessel as it transited international waters. Patrol coastal ship USS Hurricane (PC 3) and Navy explosive ordnance disposal technicians from U.S. 5th Fleet’s Task Force 56 also assisted during a weeklong effort to fully search the vessel and verify the type of material found.
U.S. forces discovered more than 70 tons of ammonium perchlorate, a powerful oxidizer commonly used to make rocket and missile fuel as well as explosives. This is U.S. 5th Fleet’s first ever interdiction of ammonium perchlorate.
“This was a massive amount of explosive material, enough to fuel more than a dozen medium-range ballistic missiles depending on the size,” said Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces. “The unlawful transfer of lethal aid from Iran does not go unnoticed. It is irresponsible, dangerous and leads to violence and instability across the Middle East.”
The search also found more than 100 tons of urea fertilizer. Urea is a chemical compound with agricultural applications that is also known for use as an explosive precursor.
The vessel and its four Yemeni crewmembers were intercepted while transiting from Iran along a route historically used to traffic weapons to the Houthis in Yemen. The direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer of weapons to the Houthis violates U.N. Security Council Resolution 2216 and international law.
U.S. forces sank the vessel Nov. 13 in the Gulf of Oman after determining it was a hazard to navigation for commercial shipping. The four crewmembers were transferred to Yemen for repatriation Nov. 15 when The Sullivans completed an at-sea exchange in the Gulf of Aden with the Yemen Coast Guard.

The Islamic Republic of Iran's Permanent Mission to the UN in New York denied the accusations as unfounded in a statement on Thursday, saying Tehran is firmly committed to UN Security Council Resolution 2216, which places an arms embargo on Yemen.
The statement said that none of the allegations made against Iran over the smuggling of guns to Yemen had been proven. Iran "has not taken any action against the resolution and is actively complying with the sanctions committee constituted to supervise the arms embargo," it said.
Iran is "doing its utmost to restore the truce agreement and enable talks between Yemeni factions as soon as feasible in order to achieve peace and stability in Yemen," the diplomatic mission added.

US-Saudi Aggression Deliberately Targeted Archaeological Sites, Facilitated Looting of Antiquities: Official
The Executive Director of ِAl-Hudhud Center for Archaeological Studies, Dr. Fahmy Al-Aghbari, confirmed that the US-Saudi aggression for seven years, has deliberately targeted archaeological sites with airstrikes and its mercenaries’ looting and smuggling artifacts.
Al-Aghbari said, in a statement to Almasirah, that the aggression targeted archaeological sites in which there could be no military forces, such as the Dhamar Historical Museum.
He added that the UAE plays a major role in looting Yemeni antiquities, presenting them in as Emirati artifacts, as well as being a corridor for smuggling stolen Yemeni antiquities to deliver them to the Zionist enemy.
He pointed out that the smuggling of Yemeni antiquities has been started since 2011 and increased in 2015 with the beginning of the aggression and unjust UN resolutions.
He explained that what was monitored of stolen and smuggled antiquities, the US acquired the largest share of them, with more than 2,167 antiquities sold inside the US.
He indicated that the list issued by the center is a starting point for the official judicial authorities to rely on in prosecuting the theft of antiquities
Earlier, the center stated that more than 4,265 smuggled artifacts were sold in six countries: the US through five auctions, Britain through four auctions, France through 3 auctions, two auctions in the Zionist entity and an auction for Germany and the Netherlands.

One of most famous Yemeni antique murals to be auctioned in London
Activists on social media revealed that a famous Yemeni artifact was offered for sale in an international auction abroad.
AN activist wrote on the “Yemeni expatriate in America” page on Facebook that one of Yemen’s most famous murals is being sold after 24 days. It is an antique mural that was from the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, United Kingdom, symbolized in Academic References and in the Code of Yemeni Inscriptions (CIH 458 RES 460), displaying five animal sculptures.
The activist added: “It is said that the mural was found in Al-Hotah area of Lahj (southern Yemen), and it is more correct that it is from Marib, but there was confusion as this mural was gifted by the Sultan of Lahj to Sir Hugh Marshall Hall (1865-1941), the civil ruler of the colony of Southern Rhodesia, now known as the Republic of Zimbabwe. Then the current owner acquired it at the London Art Market in the 1980s.”

Huge Quantities of Crude Oil Looted by US-Saudi Aggression, before Armed Forces Stops Looting
Almasirah gained exclusive documents that revealed the looted crude oil exports before imposing a stop by the Armed Forces.
The documents, obtained by Almasirah, showed that the quantity of looted crude oil exports exceeded 2.6 million barrels per month.
The documents included records and tenders of the so-called "Higher Committee for Crude Oil Marketing", to sell crude Oil from Masila, Shabwa and Marib with foreign companies.
According to the records of the sale of looted oil, sales of Masila crude amounted to 2 million barrels per month, while sales of Shabwa and Marib crude amounted to 600 thousand barrels per month.
The records between the Pro-aggression government's Ministry of Oil and the UAE's ADNOC company also revealed the expectation of doubling Shabwa and Marib crude exports to one million and 200 thousand barrels per month.
A document issued by the Pro-aggression government's leadership of the Ministry of Oil called for expediting the re-production in Sector 5 oil after the readiness of its facilities in order to raise the exports of the looted oil.

U.S. Policy and Yemen’s Path Forward
“YEMEN IN FOCUS” was the first of many panels addressing challenges facing the Arab world at the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations’ 31st Annual Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC on Nov. 2-3.
U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen Timothy Lenderking began by addressing ongoing peace efforts.
Christopher Henzel, a former U.S. ambassador to Yemen, shared his view that the United States’ approach to Yemen is partly restrained by Washington’s relationship with other countries in the region, particularly Saudi Arabia and Israel. “What we do in Yemen is contained or limited by these higher priorities,” he commented. “In other words, the U.S. in reality lacks the freedom to simply walk away from Yemen or to even…cut off arms sales to Saudi Arabia. I feel that is very unlikely to happen.”
The best way ahead is for the U.S. to continue encouraging the parties to maintain or renew the cease-fire, Henzel recommended, and to continue to encourage the Saudis in their direct engagement with the Houthis. “After all, in the end, only the Saudis can offer the monetary incentives that will be needed to persuade the Houthis to compromise,” he said.

Reviving diplomacy: A new strategy for the Yemen conflict?
The fundamental challenge in achieving a sustainable resolution of the current conflict in Yemen is that the issues at stake are fundamental to Yemen’s identity and history. In fact, it reflects the core issues that have undermined peace and security in the country since at least the 1960s.
In fact, it is clear that no mediation effort to go beyond CBMs, whether domestic, regional, or international, can succeed in the absence of any indication that the Houthis have concluded that their military adventure has reached an end.
The experience of the National Dialogue Conference has also made clear that the engagement of a broad cross-section of the Yemeni population, to include women, youth, civil society, and other previously excluded populations, is ultimately vital if Yemen is to overcome its structural inequities.
As a key international partner for Yemen, the United States must continue to play a leading role in the peace process. In fact, US contributions to the effort to forge a peaceful outcome have varied over the time period. During the Trump administration’s four-year term, the United States maintained its support in principle for a peaceful resolution of the Yemen conflict.
Yemen cannot begin the process of recovery and reconstruction in the absence of a clear path toward ending the conflict and agreeing on a political horizon. Thus, the short-term objective for the international community must remain achieving a binary agreement between the Houthis and the government. Yet, that essential predicate is unattainable unless and until the Houthis accept the need to be a part of that process.

Did the Houthis succeed in disrupting the oil sector?
Today, amid news of the possible paralysis of the Yemeni energy production sector, which threatens the ability of the fragmented legitimate authority to continue, operate and meet the usual minimum needs of the Yemeni people, matters seem to have been settled in favour of the agenda of the rebels and their supporters. This puts the Coalition Forces Supporting Legitimacy at risk as a party that has, indeed, failed to achieve the basic legitimate goals in Yemen, failed to achieve security in the strategic depth of its two states, and caused the Yemeni State to be completely paralysed, especially after the Presidential Leadership Council was imposed over the legitimate authority. The Council includes eight people who represent conflicting political projects and find it difficult to meet and perform their tasks smoothly and with positive interaction.
The legitimate authority and its head, in particular, as well as the government, seems completely stripped of any efficient and deterrent weapon in the face of the Iranian drones that were placed in the hands of the rebel group in Sana'a. Enabling this authority to obtain weapons to protect vital economic facilities and civilians is not on the agenda of the Coalition. Worse than that, this legitimate authority, especially after armed formations were incorporated into it and the tense political formations, does not seem ready to deal with it at the level of responsibility required by the threats. There are leaders in this legitimate authority who wish for the fall of Marib more than the Houthis.

Intense battles erupted between Yemen's government forces and the Houthi rebels in various areas of the southwestern province of Taiz on Thursday, a military official told Xinhua.

After hours of intense clashes, the government forces succeeded in aborting the Houthi offensive targeting key sites belonging to the air defense base of the government in Taiz, according to the source.
The battles, which are still going on sporadically, have killed four government soldiers and six Houthi fighters, he added.

Yemen still facing fundamental issues with removing leftover explosive devices and cluster ammunition
The Director of the [Sanaa gov.] Executive Center for Mine Action in Sanaa, Brigadier Ali Sofra, has revealed the societal problem facing Yemen regarding the scale and scope of the country’s contamination with cluster bombs and remnants of war.
Brigadier-General Sofra said in a press statement on Wednesday that “the limited human resources compared to the size and scope of contamination with cluster bombs and remnants of war have become a societal problem and a problem facing the Yemeni government.”
He pointed out that the center is the only program among 164 countries in the world that deals with explosives without life jackets and protective equipment as a result of stopping the center’s support by the United Nations and the UN Development Program.
“During the current year, we have removed 204 cluster bombs, bringing the total number that has been lifted since the start of the war on Yemen to more than 4.5 million small cluster bombs,” Sofra said.
He added that “From time to time we are surprised by the discovery of new types of cluster bombs that the Saudi-led coalition targeted Yemen with,” stressing that the center monitored 19 types of American, British, Brazilian and finally Pakistani cluster bombs.

About Yemen's Military Strike in UAE, US Air Defense Systems Didn't Work!
The Tablet magazine said in a report that Yemen "On Jan. 17 of this year, launched a ballistic missile at an oil facility in the UAE near Al Dhafra Air Base, which hosts the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing of the United States Air Force." Unmanned aerial vehicles (called UAVs or drones), which Yemeni Armed Forces launched simultaneously, managed to break through the defensive net, it added. This attack marked the first ever use of the THAAD system in combat.

A Different Side To Travel: A Journey Through Yemen
From the first moment I saw an image of Sana’a, I have dreamt of going to Yemen. Since 2011, during the Arab Spring, Yemen has, unfortunately, been plagued with political unrest. Now, with civil war ravaging the country, Yemen has become a destination that is thought to be impossible to visit as a tourist.
In late 2017, after countless hours of research and frustration, I finally decided to visit Yemen in the height of its war. After travelling Oman for three weeks, I sat in the city of Salalah, the capital of Oman’s Dhofar region, carefully watching the news on Yemen.
