Discussed at the time on HN, August 2023:

And yeah, that one hit really hard.

Now that is remarkable- but so is vim.


From the official X account of the Spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces: https://x.com/army21ye/status/1796502314548867550


> The Houthis also hit at least one Israeli-linked commercial vessel in the Indian Ocean, some 300 miles east of the coast of Africa, in late April, and have claimed to have staged several other attacks on ships there.

On May 3, Houthi spokesperson Yahia Saree warned the campaign would soon target vessels sailing to Israel from the Mediterranean, while vowing to expand attacks in the Indian Ocean.

"There's really no precedent for the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles, the way they are doing it," the senior US defense official said, adding, "It's a kind of maritime terrorism that the entire world has an interest in seeing brought to a close."


Maryam Jamshidi who has worked on sanctions is not optimistic at all about this EO and thinks it will do more harm than good to Palestinians: https://x.com/msjamshidi/status/1753136622991028660


The escalating tensions in Texas involving Abbotist militias and the internationally-recognized Federal Government underscore the need for an immediate foreign military intervention to reinstate law and order.


Has Hamas called for a ceasefire in the brewing Texas conflict yet?


"On average 247 Palestinians are being killed & are at risk of being killed each day. Many of them literally blown to pieces. They include 48 mothers each day, 2 every hour. And over 117 children." From the v powerful South Africa ICJ closing statement.

Nothing to recognize, just 3 towns in north Somalia with a weird fetish for their old colonial masters. The territory Muse Bihi wants to give away to Ethiopia is famous for their Somali patriotism and is holding huge daily protests against this nonsense from Hargeisa.

Ethiopia will stay landlocked, no matter what war criminals like Muse Bihi or Abiye Ahmed desire.


[flagged]


Is there is other way to describe what was going on in Tigray?


Yes, Muse Bihi is a war criminal who has the blood of tens of thousands on his hands from wars stretching back to the 90s in north Somalia. His indiscriminate bombing of Laascaanood over the last year is just a continuation of the failed tribal Somaliland project.

Abiye Ahmed is a war criminal who has committed crimes against humanity in his attacks across Ethiopia, including genocide in Tigray. All of this is well-documented.


Let us not throw around baseless claims and tarnish the image of individuals who you deem to view in a certain light.


AnsarAllah are allies of Iran, not proxies. They make decisions on their own and are the natives of North Yemen, organizing politically for decades now.


I think there's no clear split between "proxy" and "ally".

I agree that they make their own decisions, but from the POV of Iran they're rather proxy against the Saudis.


Saudis shot down the Yemeni missiles, this is unironically a cover story. They even went to the US to ask them for more air defence so they can better protect Israel after it happened.


There have been multiple missile attacks. Most were cruise missiles which are easy to intercept. This was a ballistic missile, which the Saudis cannot intercept.


No, because there needs to be Starlink receivers on the ground and Gaza is still under a brutal Israeli siege with nothing coming in or out. They also don’t have the regular power to run a receiver.

Ultimately, Elon is buddy buddy with Netanyahu and could give a fuck that he’s genociding Palestinians or cutting off their internet.
