Yemen - The Arabic Storm of Determination


Update for 2nd April added further down.



ـ#عاصفة_الحزم ... اللواء 111 يعلن دعمه للشرعية باليمن

#Storm of Determination ..... Brigade 111 declares its support of [law enforcement] in Yemen.


The Saudi-owned TV station Al-Arabiya in Dubai is now blowing the horn of patriotism when it comes to military action of the Arabic alliance against Houthi controlled Yemen. Quoting the news and comments that appeared on Twitter under the hashtag ـ#عاصفة_الحزم and which means Storm of Determination, Al-Arabiya offers a link to further Arabic sources of similar orientation.

One of those "tweets" leads to an English-subtitled video describing the expansion of Houthi militias into neighbouring regions and their strategy of mining those areas. The video, first published in December 2013, is giving a voice to local sheikhs and other witnesses and is showing irritating pictures of children wounded or killed by Houthi landmines. It should serve to give an idea of the cruelties of war in those remote areas of Yemen.
