Emigration is the solution!
HTML https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/1067153/total-population-yemen-historical.jpg
We should aim to get back down to the pre-colonial population in
Yemen itself. The remainder should emigrate, preferably to
Britain (its former colonizer).

Yemen's dirty war | DW Documentary
--- Quote ---
> At least 370,000 people have already died in the Yemen
conflict, while millions have been displaced. The United Nations
ranks the bloody proxy war and its effects as the world's worst
humanitarian crisis.
>
> The conflict in Yemen, in the south of the Arabian Peninsula,
has been going on for years, and has recently seen renewed
intensity. In January, an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition
on a prison in the north of the country killed at least 70
people and left hundreds injured. The war has now effectively
divided Yemen in two. Its causes are more than just economic and
religious ones. It is seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia
and Iran. At stake are regional dominance, untapped oil reserves
and access to the Red Sea, including the all-important Suez
Canal.
>
> Sana’a, the erstwhile Yemeni capital, is now considered one of
the most inaccessible places on the planet. For the past six
years, the city has been controlled by a Houthi political and
military movement calling itself "Ansar Allah." But Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Emirates view the Houthi rebels, who belong
to the Zaydism branch of Islam, as heretics who pose a threat to
Wahhabism. Using weapons provided by the West, they have
relentlessly bombarded the north of the country. Meanwhile, a
strict embargo is starving the population, with some 400,000
children at risk of death from famine.

The long-term carrying capacity of the country has been lowered.
This is not a problem that can be solved with aid. It is time
for 19 million people to emigrate. Aid should only be used to
buy people time to get out.
--- Quote ---
> Families like the Sharaabis have battled on. Those who could,
sold assets or family heirlooms, even parcels of land. Others
have been supported by neighbours or relatives overseas.

"(They are) doing all the coping things that someone does in a

country are at a breaking point."

Selling assets to buy food merely delays starvation. Selling
assets to by what is needed to move out and begin a new life
somewhere else is the correct answer.

compared to the number of those in need continues to increase
daily," said Nabil al-Qadasi of the Houthi-run School Feeding
and Humanitarian Relief Project, which delivers food to 3
million people in 12 of Yemen's 21 provinces.

The more people emigrate, the less food would need to be
delivered, and the easier those who do remain can access it.

US Navy warship near Yemen intercepts multiple missiles,
officials say
--- Quote ---
> A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted
multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday, two US
officials told CNN. Asked whether this incident was tied to the
ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, a Pentagon official said
the US is still assessing the attacks. CNN's Jim Sciutto and
retired general Kenneth F. McKenzie, Jr. have more. #CNN #News

confirmed the USS Carney shot down three land attack missiles as
well as several drones that were launched by Iran-backed Houthi

Israeli military plan to occupy Yemen's Socotra Island in
UAE-built facilities: Report
--- Quote ---
> The island is situated near the Bab al-Mandab Strait,
considered strategic for the passage of Israeli nuclear-armed
submarines
>
> A UAE-backed construction project is being developed on
Yemen's Socotra Island for the purposes of hosting Israeli
soldiers, officers, and other military experts and personnel,
according to a report by Yemen News Portal on 8 March.
>
> The report, citing anonymous sources, states that the joint
Emirati-Israeli base on the strategic island will have housing
units built for Israeli officers under the auspices of the
Khalifa bin Zayed Institute.
>
> This is allegedly part of a plan to turn the Yemeni island
into a center for regional espionage as well as increasing
military control over maritime routes.
>
> In September 2021, Yemen News Agency reported that the UAE and
Israel were setting up a military outpost on Socotra Island. The
purpose of this joint outpost would be to gather intelligence
for the Israeli military.
>
> Their joint cooperation includes allowing the Israeli air
force an intelligence center in Socotra Airport.
>
> Socotra Island recently made headlines due to the controversy
of Israeli tourists visiting the Yemeni island under a
UAE-issued visa.
>
> Socotra is a strategic island located near the Bab al-Mandab
Strait. The strait is a flashpoint for potential confrontation
between Israel and Iran.
>
> In December 2020, the Washington Institute published an
analysis titled 'Submarine Movements on Iran's Doorstep,'
examining how Israeli submarines, which have the capability of
being armed with nuclear warheads, are able to pass through the
Suez Canal and then, from positions in the Persian Gulf near
Yemen and Oman, can strike Iran with conventional or nuclear
warheads.
>
> [quote]Israel’s advanced Dolphin II submarine can remain
submerged for up to thirty days owing to its air independent
propulsion (AIP). It can also reportedly carry cruise missiles
with an unconfirmed range of about 1,500 kilometers, armed with
conventional or nuclear warheads. In theory, then, the vessel
could threaten inland targets near Iran’s coast while standing
off in the Arabian Sea, or even the sensitive Natanz and Isfahan
nuclear facilities if it risked sailing further north into the
Gulf of Oman. Israel chose to send its submarine through Suez,
which requires surfaced transit, to avoid circumnavigating
Africa. The timing of the journey may have been coordinated with
the [USS] Georgia’s transit, but more likely not, given the
highly secretive nature of US submarine operations. Another
possibility is that Israel timed the move to coincide with the
Iranian navy’s change of guard in the Gulf of Aden. Iran’s Task
Force 70 had already returned home, and Task Force 71 had just
set off on December 19 to take its place, leaving the Gulf of
Aden and northern Arabian Sea without an active Iranian naval
asset for a few days. One of the stated duties of Iranian naval
task forces is to monitor potentially hostile activities in
these waterways and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Increasing military presence in the Bab al-Mandab Strait could
help bolster Israel's naval capabilities to potentially enable
an attack against Iran.[/quote]
