the fighting will not end
In Yemen, seven years ago, the Houthis, backed by Iran, began a protracted civil war from the Northern section of Yemen. When that happened Saudi Arabia waged war on the rebel group. Then the Houthis targeted Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities and facilities in the UAE. Now the Houthis are saying Saudi and their allies have, in the last five years siphoned off $13 billion in oil that belonged to Yemen. UN special envoys have looked for a solution. The Houthis using Iranian drones have refused to agree to a settlement with the Yemeni government and Saudi Arabia. The fight goes on as the oil and gas wells keep producing.
