JERUSALEM, Israel — One of the strangest aspects of the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian terror group Hamas is the involvement of the Houthi rebels of distant Yemen, a poor country where the majority of the population is addicted to drugs.

In the past several weeks, the Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have launched missiles at Israel from nearly 2,000 miles away, and have begun seizing vaguely Israeli-connected shipping near the crucially important Red Sea strait of the Bab-el-Mandeb.

Notably, President Joe Biden de-listed the Houthis as a terror organization shortly after taking office, ostensibly to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Yemen. Democrats also pushed for the U.S. to stop supporting Saudi Arabia’s role in the civil war in Yemen on the government side against the Iranian-backed rebels, despite the fact that the Houthis are a threat to a U.S. naval base across the strait in the African nation of Djibouti. The Houthis continued attacking Saudi Arabia after being de-listed.

There is no national interest in Yemen in attacking Israel. The country has problem of its own, including a widespread addiction to a drug known as qat or khat, which makes the country essentially unproductive. The New York Times noted in 1999:

More than cigarettes, more than the illicit whisky found in many middle-class households, more than the mouthwatering kebabs and roasted Red Sea fish that are the favored fare in the bazaars, what holds this devout Muslim nation of 16 million people in thrall is the mildly narcotic effect that comes from chewing the tender green leaves known as khat (pronounced GAHT).

Surveys show that more Yemenis than ever — at least 80 percent of men, about 60 percent of women and increasing numbers of children under 10 — settle down on most afternoons to a habit that ancient scripts recorded among merchants and religious mystics as early as the 10th century A.D. Plucking the choicest leaves off a bundle of khat branches, aficionados chew relentlessly into the evening, until the keenest of them have tennis-ball-sized gobs of leaves in their cheeks, and the appearance of glassy-eyed Popeyes.

In a country where many people live off incomes of $100 a month or less, some of the poorest families cheerfully admit to spending 50 percent of their earnings on khat. The Government acknowledges that 40 percent of the country’s irrigated farming land is given over to growing khat shrubs and trees.

Israel has not yet responded directly to the Houthi missile attacks, which have been intercepted by Patriot and Arrow 3 batteries near the Red Sea port city of Eilat. However, the recent Houthi seizure of international shipping could soon provoke a reaction.

During our youth service days we were warned never to walk around carelessly so we won’t end up in a cooking pot.


I’m surprised a lot of people say our developers still eat human flesh in 2023.


How true is this?

You should be more concerned about your people that now eat their poos because of emilokan inflictions.

A friend of mine just placed an order for an Android replica of an iphone 15 pro max.
Phone techs in the house, please I want to know if it's a good buy in terms of its reliability and durability.
Are such phones worth the money?

The truth is: This Bila Ahmed Tinubu did not attend CSU.
Know this and know peace.

For commiting what offence exactly?
Inequality of the highest order.
This country is doomed.

Imagine the people I share country with

🤦🏿‍♂️

What is here to imagine?
They said they don't believe it.
I don't believe it too. What are you going to do about it?
Na your believe?
Abeg chill.

The trust of Nigerians on the judiciary is on test here.
Can they be bold enough to hit the nail on the head?
... Only time will tell.

Thesame Zenith bank that operates the most unfriendly post in Nigeria?

"End shall never wonder'

It's just one month into the administration and they are already complaining? It's obvious tribalism and religious bigotry aren't taking us anywhere.
However, we must learn to be responsible for every of our actions.

Georgry:


Nuclear reactor.

Why not offer her a scholarship to continue her education abroad?

That should be directed to the mandate thief, not our own dear president in waiting.

Good talk

Mekoyaw:
Good day to everyone on this prestigious forum. The decision to share this story of mine came to spotlight after months of reluctance & indecision to share and as a result of the stage of deterioration regarding the physical abnormality. That I truly regret!!!

First & foremost what I'm about to say here is about the strange body growth that attacked my left foot, above my left eye & most disturbing right now the bony protuberance on my forehead during my service year in Benin City in 2021, though the last in the list was habit induced which started before I was called-up for NYSC but not very noticeable while the others still remains a mystery to me how it started, at that time my colleagues make jest of me that "you played Johnny with Benin girls abi which is absolutely false. But those on my foot & left eye subsided with the help of an kind elder-state dad in my area.

Now the one disturbing right now is the bony protuberance I've on my forehead which is at a degenerating stage, it's actually began with a childhood habit of mine which involves rubbing my thumb knuckle roughly on my other finger which I find pleasurable now this habit metamorphosed recently & upgraded to my forehead but I only did it when I'm sad, not knowing that I'm causing injury to my forehead but then when I noticed some little bump I stopped it even before I went for service, since then it's just growing.

Please I need all the help I can get right now.

Go take water with a keg from the beach. Use the water to it (your face) morning and night. Ensure you go get the water by yourself to be sure.
Watch what will happen to it in few days.

Moderators, please move this thread to the front page.

Repose ka du laba zizo.

That's enough to make him resign from the party.

The biggest name in Nigeria politics today is PETER Okikiola Ilufemiloye, the son of OBI.
You think I'm lying, go ask Tinubu.

Nigerians gave out their all to get a more deserving country like the one the socalled president elect just ran to....

Please tell our president-in-waiting to stop apologizing to anyone for being "wotowotolized".

Those pastors that kept quiet in the face of the daylight robbery Mr Yakubu displayed on Nigerians, should as well continue to keep quite while the court makes her decision.

zangaozanga:
have anyone notice peter obi have not send any message for muslims celebrating eid,the man is really a religous bigot smh

Is Peter Obi your president elect?
Is he indebted to you?
Common face frot, Mandate thief.

On PETER Obi's mandate we stand, come what may.

There's virtually no negative news about Peter Obi that Nigerians will believe again.
APC is a party that was formed on lies and have been flourishing on lies.

Beautiful Picture of President Elect and Incoming First Lady

Is this supposed to be a sachasm?
Let me not say what I'm seeing.

9jatriot:
This is a challenge to all those claiming the phone calls between Obi and Oyedepo is fake.

So, I have created a script for you to also use the voices of Obi and Oyedepo to use the same AI or Deep fake to create the disputed audio call.

It shouldn't be too hard for you guys to add all the inflection, voice reduction when the person turns away from the mouth piece and all the other little details that makes a phone call real.

[Phone rings]

Pastor: Hello Obi, good morning

Obi: Good morning daddy, it's been a while. I hope I'm not interrupting anything important?

Pastor: No worries, it's good to hear from you. How can I assist you today?

Obi: I've been facing some challenges lately and I need your prayers to overcome them. My enemies seem to be gaining the upper hand and I'm feeling overwhelmed.

[There's some background noise and the sound of a door opening]

Obi: Sorry for the noise, my kids just came into the room.

Pastor: It's okay. Let's pray together. In the name of Jesus, we declare that every enemy that rises up against you shall fall before you. We speak peace into your life and ask the Lord to grant you strength and wisdom to overcome every challenge.

[There's a brief interruption on the line]

Obi: Pastor, sorry to cut you off. My phone battery is running low. Can we continue this prayer later?

Pastor: Sure, David. Please charge your phone and we can continue to pray later. Remember that the Lord is always with you and will never leave nor forsake you.

Obi: Thank you, Pastor. Your words always bring me comfort.

[Call ends]

No need for all these episodes.
You are right. But are you going to do about it?
