Houthis threaten Pakistan with missiles if it joins Saudi Arabia

[RescueRanger]

The rich elites should strike deal with Houtsis and pay them 10 percent Khumms. Rest 97 percent of the masses should wish that they'd become lucky and die with the first volley.

May God of the rich protect the rich.
Poor people should dietify rich people.

Ask the Houtsis first. Maybe they'll get offended and no one in Asia dares stand up against the slippers.

Yes, I can deny it. No Pakistani troops in Yemen!

The Saudis created this monster years ago on their own by supporting a corrupt dictator - the Iranians basically latched onto an already existing wound... but then whose Ikhwan are the Saudis if they don't create their own monsters.

Exactly. People tend to look at the Houthis through the lens of today's Saudi-Iranian rivalry and forget how this whole thing started.

The Houthi movement didn't appear out of thin air as some Iranian proxy designed to threaten Saudi Arabia. Its roots go back to northern Yemen, where communities had longstanding grievances over political marginalization, underdevelopment, religious identity and the heavy-handed policies of Saleh's government. The first Houthi war began in 2004, years before the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen.

And look at the 2011 Arab Spring. Yemenis were protesting corruption, unemployment, poverty and a political system dominated by Saleh and his family. People were struggling with basic necessities, including water, electricity and fuel. The government responded with repression rather than meaningful reform.

Doesn't some of this sound familiar to us in Pakistan, particularly when we look at Balochistan? You cannot ignore people's grievances over basic facilities, economic opportunities, political representation and control over their resources, then expect the problem to disappear simply by treating it as a security issue.

Of course, the Houthis subsequently became an armed movement with their own ambitions, and Iran eventually exploited the conflict to expand its regional influence. None of that changes the fact that the movement had indigenous roots and that the grievances predated Iran's deeper involvement.

Saudi Arabia's support for Saleh's regime and its subsequent military intervention helped shape the conflict, but the story is more complicated than saying Iran created the Houthis. In fact, Saleh himself eventually allied with the Houthis against his other domestic rivals before that alliance spectacularly fell apart.

The lesson for us is simple: you cannot solve a political problem merely by treating it as a military one. When legitimate grievances are ignored for years, local movements can become radicalized, external powers can exploit the situation, and what began as a domestic dispute can turn into a regional conflict.

Pakistan should understand this better than most countries. Addressing the underlying grievances in Balochistan is not just a question of development; it is also about political inclusion, accountability and giving people a genuine stake in their future.

Saudi would be in civil war between the tribes and pro mbs and anti mbs factions if not for the USA basically telling them what to do and dictating terms.

If USA withdraws due to Iran pushing out USA further out of middle east (which will be hard to do), then expect civil wars to break out all across the GCC
