Finally Yemen, nobody talks about what is happening there!

[mutazali]

As a Yemeni, I gotta say that this is one the best narrations of events of the war in Yemen.
Thanks Johnny for making this video to inform people around the world about what is going on in my home.

[muneermabkhout]

[osamaalsagheer]

Thank you johnny, i have been waiting for years for this episode.

Thanks from Yemen.

[stefankarlsson]

Editing feels much more focused like the older vids. Very nice!

[asemhagagi]

Man, as a Yemeni I have been waiting too long for this, happy to see someone explaining what's going on in here, it's complicated to understand even for Yemenies ourselves

[thscknn]

اليمن مقبرة الغزاه. واحنا كا شعب يمني معرووفين بشرستنا🔴⚪️⚫️

[alibahakim]

As a Yemen citizen I have never ever seen a description like this before.. An amazing video...
Unfortunately the war killed everything good in Yemen.. we ask Allah to recover Yemen and give it loyal leader to bring peace and prosperity..

I'm yemeni and I'm amazed by how accurate your information is, regarding our conflict 👍🏻

[AL-lhjg]

I'm from Yemen originally. I just want a united democratic Yemen, that allows everybody to live in peace. Peace, Love and prosperity.

[ahmednaqeeb]

You are a great person.. I appreciate your feelings.. From North Yemen "Houthi" 🇾🇪❤

[wasnt.here.]

THANK YOU for including a year-by-year timeline on top, I've been wanting this to become a thing for a long time now. Very helpful.

[marijnwicherink]

Im really glad the editing of this video was done in the old style. It's more respectful and doesnt distract from the actual topic. The gravity of these conflicts does not mix well with fast cuts and interlaced clips of you doing the actual research. Thank you!

[ahmedkp]

You forgot to mention that +300k got killed since the beginning of the conflict.

[AlHozayfi-ewum]

تسلم اخي احسنت إختيار الموضوع ❤ احييك من عدن

[anthonystabel]

I had my first model united nations back when i was 12, and i remember getting Yemen for my delegacy. I was a kid, and researching for the event, i made a 30-40 page doc, encapsulating the complete takover of the houthis in the region, the refugwe crisis with saudi arabia not accepting yemenese refugees, and it being another Syria like situation. It was my first such experience with international affairs and i was left astounded as to how a country suffering through so much, can have negligible media presence given their plight. I felt weird how something so big was happening and no one genuinely gave a damn, and i wouldn't have known this either, if i hadnt specifically gone looking for it. I have had a few experience with these model united nations, later preferring to chose less promiment countries, simply so i could know the world outside the far west, and far east. many years later, nothing has changed, and i hope this channel can also increase the searching aptitude of the new generation, and informing them about the world's ignored places

[SPASIVAFF]

Honestly, now I can see their point of boycotting the US, it's always the reason.

[canmind]

This was the most informative content I have consumed about Yemen and its war. Thank you!! Truly powerful.

I remember joining the US Army after september 11. Deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq multiple times, thinking I was defending my country, my people, our freedom. I lost so much. My country gained nothing from the war. RIP to my Brothers who lost it all, including themselves.
