I very specifically did not shoot the victim at 8pm last night. Why am I randomly telling you this unprompted? It's because I'm totally innocent and want to make sure you don't think I did a murder, officer.

In this thread we frequently see things posted that didn't come from reputable sources. As with anything you should take it with a grain of salt. Bana was held as a credible source and discussed in this forum, and I like to hear these claims, even if I don't believe them. Tons of local sources are way faster and on the ball than established media. We live in a world where "the paper of record" and many other establishment media published lies which had disastrous consequences. I would like to hear about that possibility, unlikely as it is. To me it doesn't seem beyond the pale. These airstrikes are at the very least supported and allowed by the US. The US supports Israel in their bombing attacks on Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and now the Houthi's. Its not crazy to think they would allow Israel to base planes there. Once again, I don't think its likely. Just possible.

So with Security Belt forces now being attacked by IS/AQAP suicide attacks, how much is their presence allowed by Saudi Arabia? It seems like they are being used as a proxy of Saudi Arabia out in the open. Does anyone think its a coincidence?

We've just released our new batch of reports on Yemen, 20 out today adding to the 5 or so we published a couple of months ago. Newsy put together this video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjjZNxPKbZc Here's the summary of the reports, where we paid special attention to the JIAT that's often cited by those arming Saudi Arabia as evidence they're taking violations of IHL seriously: quote:The Joint Incident Assessment Team (JIAT), a body established and run by the Saudi/UAE-led coalition in 2016 in response to claims of potential IHL violations, has been roundly condemned as ineffectual by Human Rights Watch and the United Nations Group of Eminent Experts. Bellingcat’s investigations support those condemnations. For example, in relation to the Abs Prison bombing, JIAT stated it had targeted two-weapon depots in Abs on 2015/05/13 that it claims were used by the Houthis. JIAT also claimed that it did not target nor damage the Abs prison and that the buildings targeted were 900 meters and 1,300 meters away from the prison respectively. Further, it found that both market attacks outlined above, Zabid and Fayoush, did not take place at all. JIAT’s brazen dismissal of the incidents investigated by Bellingcat is not singular or unique in its nature but rather represents a pattern of impunity and lack of accountability that has thus far shaped JIAT’s work on Yemen. JIAT investigated only 10 incidents from the set. In 7 of the reports JIAT either concluded that no attack happened or made a factual finding that appear to be incorrect, absolving the Coalition of responsibility.

Coldwar timewarp posted:So with Security Belt forces now being attacked by IS/AQAP suicide attacks, how much is their presence allowed by Saudi Arabia? It seems like they are being used as a proxy of Saudi Arabia out in the open. Does anyone think its a coincidence? Well a year or two ago the rumor was AQAP was being covertly backed by the UAE and Security Belt forces. I don't think anybody backs IS, they're pretty well hated by everybody else. However people have definitely been willing to look the other way while AQAP fought the Houthi themselves, and if a few crate loads of guns fell off the back of a truck and found it's way into their hands nobody has been willing to ask too many questions. If AQAP has been in more frequent conflict wit the Security Belt forces its probably for the same reason they seemed to work with them. They are just physically closer and in more frequent contact, so when their interests align they collaborate but when they don't they clash. Then again, who knows, I wouldn't put it past the Saudis to conspire with them for some stupid purpose. Cat Mattress posted:So who is in that coalition now anyway? The Emirates left. Did Israel actually join already, or is that still just a project? The most important other member is Sudan, who has supplied a lot of troops. Their presence was important in for example the siege of Hodiedah. They haven't been very important as decision makers or policy setters because they are basically just there as mercenaries. the Sudanese government gets fat stacks of cash for their participation and that seems to be their sole interest in the affair. Besides them all other assistance is pretty much token gestures of support.

I do wonder how this is going to pan out. The Taliban didn't exactly have a long-term sustainable plan for Afghanistan, but then, neither has anyone else since 1973. I guess it's just going to be an endless parade of warlords carving up what little is left of the country between them until everyone dies or flees because of climate change.
