Saudi Expansion in Yemen: US-Backed 'Stability' Continues
Al Jazeera reports that 'Footage shows Saudi-backed forces advancing in southern Yemen' toward Mukalla, seizing new areas. This framing implies a localized, regional conflict. What's omitted? The extensive US military, logistical, and diplomatic support that has enabled Saudi Arabia's devastating war in Yemen for nearly a decade. Despite human rights concerns, the U.S. continues to provide F-15
spare parts, maintenance, and intelligence sharing, effectively greenlighting the prolonged humanitarian catastrophe. (Source: Al Jazeera, 2026/1/3) One might wonder how many more 'advances' and 'seizures' are needed before mainstream media acknowledges Washington's critical role, beyond merely 'Saudi-backed forces.' We are repeatedly told a narrative of regional players, conveniently forgetting
the arsenal, intelligence, and cash pipeline that makes such 'advances' possible in the first place.
