Weka posted:I don't think the border was a focus of the camp david accords (which have been violated so many times as to be non existent anyway), although the Israel - Egypt peace treaty signed the next year did establish Israeli control of it. There was a later deal in 2005 however, the Philadelphi Accord, which gave Egypt back control of its side of the border. I haven't read it so I'm not sure if it was specified in the deal, but in its aftermath the PA took over the Gaza side. Jacobin has some good people writing for them, like Yves Engler and Luke Savage. As an exercise for myself, and maybe as a benefit for goons if I do a halfway decent job, I'm gonna try to summarize the more recent part of the Aldanmarki tweet thread (Xticle) and the Helen Lackner article Weka linked above. Please feel free to offer corrections. I don’t have any particular expertise in this area. 1990 - After decades of internecine strife, ongoing since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Yemen becomes an independent, united country, with its capital at Sana’a and Ali Abdullah Saleh as president. Saleh formerly served as president of the independent state of North Yemen. During his tenure as president of North Yemen, he tried to forge closer ties between the Western powers and their regional allies, taking IMF and World Bank loans, liberalizing public assets, and reversing a local development scheme initiated by his predecessor. 1993 – The first elections take place in newly united Yemen. Saleh’s General People’s Congress (GPC) wins a plurality, with the Islamic fundamentalist Islah Party coming in second, and the Marxist-Leninist Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP) coming in third. The Islah Party (IP) is an outgrowth of the Islamic Front and the Muslim Brotherhood, and a former contender for power in the civil wars that rocked Yemen prior to unification. This is where Hussein Badruddin Alhouthi comes onto the scene, as an elected member of the Al-Haqq Party (Party of Truth), which was also backed by YSP. After the election, Saleh initiates a purge of members of the YSP, and refuses to implement many of the terms of the unification accord. Ali Salem Al-Beidh, head of the YSP, flees the capital for Aden. 1994 – Al-Beidh declares that South Yemen will secede, on the assumption that Saudi Arabia will provide him financial and military aid. This does not happen, so Yemen finds itself embroiled in civil war once more. The Islah Party’s forces, working with Saleh, undertakes a brutal anticommunist purge in south Yemen. Alhouthi, as an elected member of the Al-Haqq Party, objects to the wanton destruction in the House of Representatives. President Saleh retaliates by destroying Alhouthi’s home and arresting members of his family. Saleh is ultimately victorious in the civil war, and the country remains united. 1997 – The second election of united Yemen. Alhouthi does not seek reelection, instead withdrawing to Saadah, in the north, to create the “Believing Youth Movement,” the aim of which was to kindle revolutionary Zaydi Islam among the local youth, and counteract the spread of Salafism. This movement was initially non-violent, preaching coexistence with other Islamic schools of thought. 2001 – Following the September 11th attacks in New York, Alhouthi’s teachings become more radical, addressing topics such as imperialism and colonialism. This is when the “Houthi slogan” comes to be: “God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam.”It spreads quickly, becoming a common refrain heard in street protests and seen spray-painted on buildings, roads, and bridges.  2004 – Threatened by rising Houthi dissent (which, of course, Saleh’s Western partners are no fan of), Saleh initiates a crackdown, especially on the youth of Yemen. Tens of thousands are arrested. Alhouthi himself is killed on September 10th, 2004, in Saadah, apparently by being buried alive in a cave where he had taken shelter with his comrades and family. This news spreads quickly, inflaming the residents of Saadah, and so begin the Saadah Wars. 2004-2009 - Under the leadership of Alhouthi’s younger brother, Abdul Malik Alhouthi, the Houthis, or Ansarallah (God’s Partisans) as they now call themselves, conduct six wars against the Saleh government. 2009 - Saleh, now with the military aid of Saudi Arabia, launches Operation Scorched Earth against Ansarallah (AA), leading to the internal displacement of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis. AA manages to gain the upper hand in this war, even capturing outposts in Saudi Arabia itself. January 2010 – AA offers the Saleh government a ceasefire, which is accepted, though skirmishes continue in some areas. 2011 – The “Arab Spring” begins in Tunisia. Dissent spreads to Yemen, which is subsequently rocked by protests. Suffering mightily under IMF-style austerity, most Yemenis want to see Saleh gone. Saudi Arabia, via the Saudi-dominated Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), fearing a revolutionary Yemen, offers Saleh a deal, in which he would be granted political immunity if he stepped down and handed power to his VP, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. Saleh accepts this deal. Hadi is now the president. 2012 – As part of the GCC power transfer deal, a sham presidential election is held, where Hadi’s name is the only one on the ballot. YSP and AA boycott this election. 2013-2014 – Hadi establishes the National Dialogue conference, to which all of Yemen’s major political factions are invited. The purpose of the conference is to draft a new constitution for the country, per the 2011 GCC deal. AA, via Dr. Ahmad Sharafuddin, presents their vision for Yemen: a secular, federal Yemeni state where religion plays no role in either the executive or judicial branches of state authority. On January 21st, 2014, Dr. Sharafuddin is assassinated by unknown agents. Other AA senior members are similarly killed, likely by Islah Party agents, acting at the behest of General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, chief of President Hadi’s personal security apparatus. The conference ends in January 2014 with a draft constitution. AA objects to the provisions of that draft, which they believe would end up unjustly dividing the country into rich and poor zones. 2014 – President Hadi, on the advice of his Western backers, cuts fuel subsidies for ordinary Yemenis, causing fuel prices to skyrocket. Protest rocks Sana’a. General Al-Ahmar’s troops manage to quell the dissent by gunning down protestors, as well as raiding hospitals to arrest or murder those injured during the protests. “People’s Committees,” armed cells organized by AA, storm Sana’a. The Yemeni Army is swept aside, and AA seizes key government facilities. AA forces Hadi to sign the UN-sponsored Peace and National Partnership Agreement, which requires the establishment of a new government that would represent all of Yemen’s many political factions. The Islah Party finds themselves sidelined by this process. January 2015 – Mansour Hadi, still de facto president of Yemen, resigns. AA places him under house arrest. February 2015 – An international press conference is held in Sana’a. Signatory members of the National Partnership Agreement declare that AA’s Revolutionary Committee is transformed into the vanguard of the Revolution, and all of the old authority structures are now defunct. The House of Representatives, one of the major isntruments of Saudi power in Yemen, is disbanded. Former president Hadi flees to Aden, where he declares himself the legitimate president of Yemen. March 2015 – The Yemeni Army, about 2/3 of which declared loyalty to the new Revolutionary Committee, moves south to capture Hadi and destroy his loyalist forces. The Committee’s ground forces are defeated by Hadi’s loyalists, so they initiate a bombing campaign against the presidential palace in Aden. Eventually, the Committee manages to seize Aden. Unfortunately for them, Hadi has already fled the country to Riyadh. Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners begin their full-scale war on Yemen, which continues to this day. September 2015 – Saudi-backed forces recapture Aden and reinstall Hadi as head of the internationally recognized government (IRG) of Yemen. 2017 – Aydaroos Al-Zubeidi announces the creation of the secessionist Southern Transitional Council (STC) and appoints himself its president. The STC is opposed to the IRG. Its aim is for the southern part of Yemen to secede from the north. 2018 – The Saudi coalition, using Sudanese and loyalist Yemeni soldiers, manages to seize coastal Tihama and the outskirts of Hodeida City, on Yemen’s west coast. The brutality of this invasion raises international concerns. The warring parties meet in Sweden, resulting in the Stockholm Agreement, which was supposed to have led to a wider peace settlement. Few of its provisions are implemented, other than the creation of a UN Mission in Hodeida governorate. August 2019 – STC expels IRG forces from Aden. November 2019 – The Riyadh Agreement between the STC and IRG is signed. A joint government over south Yemen between the two factions is declared, though it leads to little change on the ground. IRG and STC forces have mostly not withdrawn their military forces as specified in the agreement. This has resulted in a de facto split between Yemen proper (ruled by the revolutionary committee) and south Yemen. 2020 – AA launches an operation to seize Marib, east of Sana’a, a northern IRG stronghold and major source of the country’s hydrocarbons. The battle for the city continues to this day. Major flooding occurs in Yemen, killing 172 people and displacing tens of thousands of people. 2021 – AA resumes control of Hodeida and the surrounding area. More major flooding occurs. Yemen is now in the grip of economic catastrophe due (among other factors) to the depreciation of Yemen’s currency, especially in IRG-held areas. February 2021 – President “Genocide” Joe Biden announces an end to American support for Saudi operations in Yemen, and revokes the designation of AA as a terrorist organization. January 2022 – AA launches a drone and missile attack against three oil tanker trucks in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in response to IRG military successes in south Yemen. This attack is widely condemned by Saudi-friendly regional governments. April 2022 – IRG President Hadi resigns (again). Rashad al-Alimi, a Hadi advisor with close ties to Saudia Arabia, is appointed head of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) of the IRG. The PLC is widely understood to be an instrument of Saudi power in Yemen. The hope among Saudi-friendly regional government is that ensuing negotiations will lead to an end to attacks on their territories, so that they can terminate military involvement in Yemen. The IRG and Yemen government agree to a two month truce. This is extended twice until October. October 2022 – The April ceasefire, twice renewed, expires. Fighting between IRG forces and the Yemen government remains at a low level. April 2023 – Peace talks between Saudi and Yemen government officials, mediated by Oman, resume. January 2024 – The United States, by their own assertion responding to the threat to Israeli shipping posed by AA forces in the Red Sea, launches a bombing campaign in Yemen, along with several NATO partners.

I remember he was playing a song about the Nakam terrorist plan to poison 6 million Germans (in retaliation for the Holocaust). There's a point in the song where he rhetorically asks if retaliation is bad and if killing six million people in revenge would be wrong a woman in the audience loudly shouted "No!!" He ignored it and finished the set, but I can never forget that woman who believed that an eye for an eye is exactly what the world needs. I wonder what she does for a living now.

Which renders the entire exercise a totally pointless journey in Ellie's personal moral growth at the expense of dozens of lives. one of the most self-congratulatory liberal self tugs ever conceived, like a serial killer who's not about that life anymore.
