Escobar: "Jemenian-Russian Mystery"

Written by Pepe Escobar via The Cradle,

Sana willingly engages in cooperation with Moscow, seeking to extend her astonishing military achievements to both the economical and diplomatic spheres. Whereas trade with Russia may be an integral part of mitigating the effects of the siege of Yemen, Sanaa besides sees membership of BRICS as a "golden opportunity" to establish lasting safety in the Persian Gulf.

Yemen's star strategical maneuvers in defence of Palestine against its dramatically increasing function in the Axis opposition of Western Asia take on the contours of the epic odyssey – a eagerly analyzed by the global majority.

As if the unprecedented humiliation of the American Navy in Bab al-Mandab and in the Red Sea was not enough, Ansarallah attacked the Israeli ship hypersonic missile Hatem-2, which represents a remarkable advance in home technological development.

These astounding strategic-military advances demonstrated by Ansarallah at the same time have revived the ever-smelling, unfinished war and blockade launched against Yemen in 2015 by Saudi Arabia and the United arabian Emirates with the average support of the US and the United Kingdom.

Riyadh hates the Yemeni opposition like a plague. alternatively of Sana, the recognized Yemen capital, he supports the anti-Ansarallah' government based in Adena, in a sense recognized by the "international order based on principles". However, the fact is that this government is based in a luxury hotel in Riyadh.

Ansarallah tried hard negotiate exchange of prisoners with captured Saudi pilots who have been listed on Hamas imprisoned members in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh not only refused, but threatened that bank transfers to and from Yemen would be blocked, and the global airport and seaports in Sana would be closed.

Ansarallah's consequence was clear: if Yemeni banking is blocked, Saudi Arabia's banking strategy will be destroyed. If Sana airport becomes the mark of the attack, the same will happen to Saudi Arabia airports.

So the war, which never ended, abruptly and ominously returns to the right course. Ansarallah would have no problem tracking down oil production in Saudi Arabia in retaliation for a full blockade – given its proven capabilities for completely fresh missiles and marine drones. The consequences for global oil markets would be disastrous.

Two delegations arrive in Moscow...

Yemen is simply a classical case of fierce opposition actor in the context of the emerging multipolar, multinode world. So the question is, where does the multipolar stand?multi-node Russian champion, erstwhile it comes to fighting Yemen.

This leads us to the fascinating case of the 2 Yemeni delegations that have late visited Moscow.

One of them, led by a high-ranking Ansarallah official, She met in Moscow with peculiar envoy of the Russian president to the mediate East (Western Asia) and Africa Mikhail Bogdanov.

They discussed not only the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, but besides what Ansarallah describes as "an American-British aggression against Yemen", referring to the ongoing Western naval operations in the Red Sea which— unsuccessfully – for months they have been trying to thwart Yemeni operations against ships sailing to Israel and associated with Israel. Retaliatory siege, if you prefer.

The Yemeni assured the Russians that their naval operations "are not a threat to global shipping nor are they targeted at anyone, but alternatively support the Palestinian people and respond to American and British raids on Yemen." Ansarallah praised Russia's knowing and expressed his gratitude for:

Russia's position towards the American-British aggression against Yemen and its support for the humanitarian and political process in our country. We besides looked at the results of the de-escalation efforts between Yemen and the aggressor states and stressed that a comprehensive solution was needed to guarantee Yemen's unity and sovereignty.

All of this concerns what can be described as a delegation of the Yemeni political process. In Oman, waiting to receive Russian visas, they met another Yemeni group: let's call it a geo-economic delegation.

The delegation was chaired by Dr. Fouad al-Ghaffari, peculiar advisor to Yemen Prime Minister Dr. Abdulaziz Saleha bin Habtoora in Sana.

Habtoor is simply a leading Yemeni intellectual and author of an different book "Unhappred: Yemen in the face of a decisive storm"which highlights key details of the war launched in 2015 "by an enemy coalition of 17 countries", full supported by the US and the EU, along with air, sea and land blockades.

The Prime Minister explains the economical war due to the fact that Yemen's central bank was transferred to Aden; a biological war that led to a terrible detonation across the country; and how the arabian League was bought and paid for all along. He stresses that "this is the first war in past in which all the rich arabian countries stand together under the cloak of the most powerful imperialist country in an ungodly coalition against the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula".

This war is far from over. Yemen is in quite a few pain. The phenomenon of large famine has not disappeared. So the delegation of Dr. Ghaffari had to focus on humanitarian issues and food security.

As told The CradleWhat Yemen expects to receive from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture:

We have food for export and import from Russia. We should have a shipping line between Russia and Yemen in the port of Al-Hudajda. Last month, another Yemeni delegation was in China. There were good contacts, and now they're working out an agreement. I came here as an advisor to the Prime Minister and in parallel with the Russian Presidency at BRICS I came to emphasise the importance of developing the links between agriculture and food safety between us and Russia. We request Russian expertise in this area. We have peculiar products in Yemen that we want to export – and now we are fighting a boycott from the US and the West. We want Russian products, not European products.

Ghaffari tostates: "Some Russian products go to Yemen, but not directly. They come from Gulf countries or African countries. But not as Russian products. There are no Russian products in Yemen. Now, after 96 years of Russian-jemen relations, Yemen is defined as a good player in our region. It's time for BRICS to unite and fight the American model."
