Africom’s War on Libya
In this excerpt from Bob Coen, Maxmillian Forté, and Eric Nadler’s film “Shadow War of the Sahara”, broadcast on the Franco-German channel ARTE charts the rise of the U.S.military’s AFRICA COMAND (AFRICOM). This excerpt reveals why AFRICOM’s chief critic, Libya’s Mu’ammar al-Qathafi, had to be removed from any world influence for the project to succeed.
BUT, 7:25 on the meter to the end, is obviously in deep error. Mu’ammar al-Qathafi is ALIVE and leading the PDF. The video footage was a CLINTON / CIA American creation (with QATAR) and MISURATA—
And those of us, who carefully followed Libya from earliest times, knew that they were going to proclaim Mu’ammar al-Qathafi deceased (with pre-released leaked photos at the end of August 2011). The FABRICATED ‘DEATH’ was only accepted (and a surprise) for the ignorant and ill-informed–as well as those who are easily hypnotised —or think the media does not lie to them totally;…and by those who thought they were ‘protecting Mu’ammar al-Qathafi‘ by going-along with the mainstream’s LIES !
We have innumerable recordings, directives and messages
from our ‘Great Leader of the Revolution’, since that 20th of OCTOBER 2011 date...

YEMEN:
The Geopolitics behind the War in Yemen:
written by Mahdi Darius NAZEMROAYA
The Start of a New Front against Iran
The United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia became very uneasy when the Yemenese or Yemenite movement of the Houthi or Ansar-allah (meaning the supporters of God in Arabic) gained control of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa/Sana, in September 2014. The US-supported Yemenite puppet-President Abd-Rabbuh Manṣour al-Hadi
was humiliatingly forced to share ‘power’ (ugly word for any Houthi to swallow) with the Houthi and the coalition of northern Yemenese tribes that had helped them enter Sana. Al-Hadi declared that negotiations for a Yemeni national unity government would take place and his allies the US and Saudi Arabia tried to use a new national dialogue and mediated talks to co-opt and pacify the Houthi.
The truth has been turned on its head about the war in Yemen. The war and ousting of President Abd-Rabbuh Manṣour al-Hadi in Yemen are not the results of «Houthi coup» in Yemen. It is the opposite. al-Hadi was ousted, because with Saudi and US support he tried to backtrack on the power sharing agreements he had made and return Yemen to authoritarian rule. The ousting of puppet-President al-Hadi by the Houthi and their political allies was an unexpected reaction to the takeover al-Hadi was planning with Washington and the House of Saudi.
The Houthi and their allies represent a diverse cross-section of Yemeni society and the majority of Yemenites. The Houthi movement’s domestic alliance against al-Hadi includes Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims alike. The US and House of Saud never thought that the Houthi would assert themselves by removing their puppet al-Hadi from ‘power’, but this reaction had been a decade in the making. With the House of Saud, al-Hadi had been involved in the persecution of the Houthi and the manipulation of tribal politics in Yemen even before he became president. When he became Yemeni president he dragged his feet and was working against the implement the arrangements that had been arranged through consensus and negotiations in Yemen’s National Dialogue, which convened after Ali Abdullah Saleh was forced to hand over his powers in 2011.
Coup, popular Green-Revolution or Counter-Coup: What Happened in Yemen?
At first, when they took over Saana in late-2014, the Houthis rejected al-Hadi’s proposals and his new offers for a formal ‘power sharing’ agreement, calling him a morally bankrupt figure that had actually been reneging previous promises of sharing political ‘power’. At that point, President al-Hadi’s pandering to Washington and the House of Saud had made him deeply unpopular in Yemen with the majority of the population. Two months later, on 08 November 2014, President al-Hadi’s own party, the Yemenite General People’s Congress, would eject al-Hadi as its leader too.
The Houthi eventually detained President al-Hadi and seized the presidential palace and other Yemeni government buildings on January 20. With popular support, a little over two weeks later, the Houthi formally formed a Yemense transitional government on 06 February 2015. al-Hadi was ‘forced’ to resign by his own free-will. The Houthi declared that al-Hadi, the US, and Saudi Arabia were planning on devastating Yemen on 26 February 2015.
al-Hadi’s resignation was a setback for US foreign policy. It resulted in a military and operational retreat for the CIA and the Pentagon, which were forced to remove US military personnel and intelligence operatives from Yemen. The Los Angeles Times reported on March 25, citing US officials, that the Houthis had got their hands on numerous secret documents when the seized the Yemeni National Security Bureau, which was working closely with the CIA, that compromised Washington’s operations in Yemen.
al-Hadi fled the Yemeni capital Saana to Aden on 21 February 2015, and declared it the temporary capital of Yemen on 07 March. The US, France, Turkey, and their Western European allies closed their embassies. Soon afterwards, in what was probably a coordinated move with the US, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates all relocated the embassies to Aden from Saana. al-Hadi rescinded his letter of resignation as president and declared that he was ‘forming a government-in-exile’.
The Houthi and their political allies refused to fall into line with the demands of the US and Saudi Arabia, which were being articulated through al-Hadi in Aden and by an increasingly hysteric Riyadh. As a result, al-Hadi’s foreign minister, Riyadh Yaseen, called for Saudi Arabia and the Arab petro-sheikdoms to militarily intervene to prevent the Houthi from getting control of Yemen’s airspace on 23 March 2015. Yaseen told the Saudi mouthpiece ‘al-Sharg al-Awsa’ that a bombing campaign was needed and that a no-fly zone had to be imposed over Yemen.
The Houthi realized that a military struggle was going to begin. This is why the Houthi and their allies in the Yemenite military rushed to control as many Yemeni military airfields and airbases, such as al-Anad, as quickly as possible. They rushed to neutralize al-Hadi and entered Aden on 25 March 2015.
By the time the Houthi and their allies entered Aden, al-Hadi had fled the Yemeni port city. al-Hadi would resurface in Saudi Arabia when the House of Saud started attacking Yemen on March 26. From Saudi Arabia, Abd-Rabbuh Manṣour al-Hadi would then fly to Egypt, for a meeting of the Arab League to legitimize the war on Yemen.
Yemen and the Changing Strategic Equation in the Middle East
The Houthi takeover of Saana took place in the same time-frame as a series of success or regional victories for Iran, Hezbollah, Syria and the Resistance Bloc that they and otherlocal actors form collectively. In Syria, the Syrian government managed to entrench its position while in Iraqthe ISIL/ISIS/Daesh movement was being pushed back by Iraq with the noticeable help of Iran and local Iraqi militias allied to Tehran.
The strategic equation in the Middle East began to shift as it became clear that Iran was becoming central to its security architecture and stability. The House of Saud and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began to whimper and complain that Iran was in control of four regional capitals—Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, and Saana – and that something had to be done to stop Iranian expansion. As a result of the new strategic equation, the Israelis and the House of Saud became perfectly strategically aligned with the objective of neutralizing Iran and its regional allies. «When the Israelis and Arabs are on the same page, people should pay attention», Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer told Fox News about the alignment of Israel and Saudi Arabia on 05 March 2015.
The Israeli and Saudi fear mongering has not worked.According to Gallup poll, only 9% of US citizens viewed Iran as a greatest enemy of the US at the time that Netanyahu arrived in Washington to speak against a deal between the US and Iran.
The Geo-Strategic Objectives of the US and Saudis Behind the War in Yemen
While the House of Saudi has long considered Yemen a subordinate province of some sorts and as a part of Riyadh’s sphere of influence, the US wants to make sure that it could control the Bab al-Mandeb, the Gulf of Aden, and the Socotra Islands. The Bab al-Mandeb it is an important strategic chokepoint for international maritime trade and energy shipments that connects the Persian Gulf via the Indian Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea via the Red Sea. It is just as important as the Suez Canal for the maritime shipping lanes and trade between Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Israel was also concerned, because control of Yemen could cut off Israel’s access to Indian Ocean via the Red Sea and prevent its submarines from easily deploying to the Persian Gulf to threaten Iran. This is why control of Yemen was actually one of Netanyahu’s talking points on Capitol Hill when he spoke to the US Congress about Iran on 03 March 2015, in what the New York Times (of all publications) billed as «Mr. Netanyahu’s Unconvincing Speech to Congress» on 04 March 2015.
Saudi Arabia was visibly afraid that Yemen could become formally align to Iran and that the evens there could result in new rebellions in the Arabian Peninsula against the House of Saud. The US was just as much concerned about this too, but was also thinking in terms of global rivalries. Preventing Iran, Russia, or China from having a strategic foothold in Yemen, as a means of preventing other powers from overlooking the Gulf of Aden and positioning themselves at the Bab al-Mandeb, was a major US concern.
Added to the geopolitical importance of Yemen in overseeing strategic maritime corridors is its military’s missile arsenal, Yemen’s missiles could hit any ships in the Gulf of Aden or Bab al-Mandeb. In this regard, the Saudi attack on Yemen’s strategic missile depots serves both US and Israeli interests.The aim is not only to prevent them from being used to retaliate against exertions of Saudi military force, but to also prevent them from being available to a Yemeni government aligned to either Iran, Russia, or China.
In a public position that totally contradicts Riyadh’s Syria policy, the Saudis threatened to take military action if the Houthi and their political allies did not negotiate with al-Hadi. As a result of the Saudi threats, protests erupted across Yemen against the House of Saud on 25 March 2015. Thus,the wheels were set in motion for another Middle Eastern war as the US, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait began to prepare to reinstall al-Hadi.
The Saudi March to War in Yemen and a New Front against Iran
For all the talk about Saudi Arabia as a regional power, it is too weak to confront Iran alone. The House of Saud’s strategy has been to erect or reinforce a regional alliance system for a drawn confrontation with Iran and the Resistance Bloc. In this regard Saudi Arabia needs Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan —a WAHHABI misnamed so-called «Sunni» alliance or axis — to help it confront Iran and its regional allies.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the crown prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and deputy supreme commander of the UAE’s military, would visit Morocco to talk about a collective military response to Yemen by the Arab petro-sheikhdoms, Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt on 17 March 2015. On 21 March 2015, Mohammed bin Zayed met Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud to discuss a military response to Yemen. This was while al-Hadi was calling for Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to help him by militarily intervening in Yemen. The meetings were followed by talk about a new regional security pact for the Arab petro-sheikdoms.
Out of the GCC’s five members, the Sultanate of Oman stayed away. Oman refused to join the war on Yemen. Muscat has friendly relations with Tehran. Moreover, the Omani are weary of the Saudi and GCC project to use sectarianism to ignite confrontation with Iran and its allies. The majority of Omani are neither Sunni Muslims nor Shiite Muslims; they are Ibadi Muslims (NOT WAHHABI ! ), and they fear the fanning of sectarian sedition by the House of Saud and the other Arab petro-sheikdoms.
Saudi propagandists went into over drive falsely claiming that the war was a response to Iranian encroachment on the borders of Saudi Arabia. Turkey would announce its support for the war in Yemen. On the day the war was launched, Turkey’s Erdogan claimed that Iran was trying to dominate the region and that Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC were getting annoyed.
Sisi of Egypt said that Egypt would not get involved in a war in Yemen on 25 March 2015, but…
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif released a statement on 26 March 2015 that any threat to Saudi Arabia would «evoke a strong response» from Pakistan. The message was tacitly directed towards Iran.
The US and Israeli Roles in the War in Yemen
On 27 March 2015, it was announced in Yemen that Israel was helping Saudi Arabia attack the Arab country. «This is the first time that the Zionists [Israelis] are conducting a joint operation in collaborations with Arabs,» Hassan Zayd, the head of Yemen’s Al-Haq Party, wrote on the internet to point out the convergence of interests between Saudi Arabia and Israel. The Israeli-Saudi alliance over Yemen, however, is not new. The Israelis helped the House of Saud during the North Yemen Civil War that started in 1962 by providing Saudi Arabia with weapons to help the royalists against the republicans in North Yemen.
The US is also involved and leading from behind or a distance. While it is supposedly trying the process of ‘working to strike a deal with Iran’, it also wants to maintain an alliance against Tehran using the Saudis. The Pentagon would provide what it called«intelligence and logistical support» to House of Saud. Make no mistakes about it: the war on Yemen is also Washington’s war. The GCC has been on Yemen unleashed by the US.
There has long been talk about the formation of a pan-Arab military force, but proposals for creating it were renewed on 09 March 2015, by the rubberstamp ‘Arab League’. The proposals for a united Arab military serve US, Israeli, and Saudi interests. Talk about a pan-Arab military has been motivated by their preparations to attack Yemen to return their puppet al-Hadi and to regionally confront Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and the Resistance Bloc.

The Geopolitics Behind the War in Yemen: Do the US and Saudi Arabia Want to Divide Yemen?
The instability in Yemen is being caused not by Iran or the Houthi, but by US and Saudi interference in Yemen — from Saudi Arabia’s 2009 invasion to US drone attacks — and the decades of support that Saudi Arabia has provided for authoritarian and unpopular rule in Yemen.
«Battle lines are being drawn in Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country and the Middle East’s latest candidate for state failure. If, as looks increasingly probable, open warfare breaks out soon, it will only be made worse by the contest for regional supremacy between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Both powers have proven eager to arm groups they believe they can control, despite the legacy this destructive rivalry has already wrought in Syria and Iraq», the magazine Foreign Policy claimed on 06 March 2015.
The Houthi Alliance with Iran: Pragmatism or Sectarianism?
The Houthi are not Iranian proxies whatsoever. The Houthi movement is an independent political actor that emerged as a result of repression. To call the Houthi ‘Iranian proxies’ is unempirical and ignores the history and politics of Yemen. «If a war breaks out along sectarian lines, it will not be because that is where historical divisions have lain in Yemen; it will be because the war’s foreign funders are inflaming previously unimportant divisions,» Foreign Policy even admits.
Houthi leaders have admittedly rejected claims that they take orders from Tehran. This has not stopped Saudi and Khaliji (Gulf) officials and media, who have used and manipulated the statements of Iranian officials, like the comparison of the Houthi to Iran’s Basij, from portraying the Houthi as Iranian agents or clients.
Just like how the Houthi are not Iranian proxies, there is no Shia alliance between Tehran and them in Yemen either. Talk that focuses on this simplistic sectarian narrative hides the political nature and motivations of the conflict in Yemen and insultingly obfuscates the struggle of the Houthi against repression. Until the 1970s the House of Saud had actually been a major supporter of the royalist factions in Yemen, which were predominately Shiite Muslims.
Moreover, the Shiite Muslims in Yemen are not Jaffaris (Twelvers) like the majority of Shia Muslims in Iran, the Republic of Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Persian Gulf region. Aside from pockets of Ismaili Shiites – which can arguably be called Seveners – in the governorates of Saada, Hajja, Amran, Al-Mahwit, Sana, Ibb, and al-Jawf most the Shia Muslims in Yemen are Zaidis/Zaydis. The Ismailis in Yemen are mostly members of the Dawoodi (Davidian) and Sulaimani (Solomonian) sects of Mustali Ismailism that moved away from the larger Nizari Ismailis.
The US and Saudi hostility towards the Houthi movement is what has inadvertently made the Houthi pragmatically turn to Iran for help as a counterbalance. In the words of the slanderus Wall Street Journal, «Houthi ‘militants’ (ugh!!) controlling Yemen’s capital are trying to build ties with Iran, Russia and China to offset Western and Saudi support for the country’s ousted president.» «The Houthis’ interim government has sent delegations to Iran in search of fuel supplies and to Russia to look for investment in energy projects, according to two senior Houthi officials. Another delegation is planning to visit China in the coming weeks, they said», the Wall Street Journal also reported on 06 March 2015.
As a result of the Houthi movement’s reaching out, Iran and Yemen announced that daily flights would take place between Tehran and Sana on 02 March 2015. This is an important lifeline of support for the Houthi movement.
The Sectarian Narrative and Sectarian Card
The instability in Yemen is being caused not by Iran or the Houthi, but by US and Saudi interference in Yemen — from Saudi Arabia’s 2009 invasion to US drone attacks — and the decades of support that Saudi Arabia has provided for authoritarian and unpopular rule in Yemen.
Yemen is not an inherently divided country. Aside from the nurturing of al-Qaeda by Saudi Arabia and the US, there is no real Shia-Sunni split or tensions. To pre-empt Yemen from being independent, the Saudis and US have supported sectarianism with the hope of creating a Shia-Sunni divide in Yemen.
Unlike the false narrative, Iran’s alliances in the Middle East are actually not sectarian. All of Tehran’s Palestinian allies are predominately Sunni Muslims while in Iraq and Syria, aside from the governments, Iran supports a cross-section of ethnic and faith groups that include non-Arabs and Christians. This includes the predominately Sunni Muslim Syrian and Iraqi Kurds and the Assyrian Sutoro wing of the Syriac Union Party (SUP) in Syria. In Lebanon, aside from Hezbollah, the Iranians are also allied to Sunni Muslim, Druze, and Christian parties, including Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement—which is the largest Christian party in Lebanon.
If anyone is engaged in sectarianism as a policy, it is the US and its Arab petro-sheikdom allies. Both the US and Saudi Arabia had fiercely engaged in battle the Houthi earlier and used the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ against them in Yemen. Additionally, during the Cold War both Washington and the House of Saud tried to use the Yemeni Shiites against the republicans in North Yemen and the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen in the south. It is when the Houthi movement demonstrated that it was not going to be a client to Washington or Riyadh, that the US and Saudi Arabia became hostile towards it.
Preparing the Invasion of Yemen
On 20 March 2015, suicide bombers attacked the al-Badr and al-Hashoosh mosques during asr salat (afternoon prayers). Over three hundred people were killed. Abdul Malik al-Houthi accused the US and Israel of supporting the terrorist attacks and both the ISIL/ISIS/Daesh and Al-Qaeda in Yemen. Saudi Arabia was also blamed.
While there was silence in Morocco, Jordan, and the Arab petro-sheikhdoms, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham condemned the terrorist attacks in Yemen. In one way or another, Syria, Iraq, Russia, and China all condemned the terrorist attacks in Yemen too. To show Tehran’s support for Yemen, two Iranian cargo planes with humanitarian aid were sent to Yemen and the Iranian Red Crescent Society flew over fifty Yemenis victims of the terrorist attacks to hospitals inside Iran for medical treatment.
The House of Saud’s Failure in Yemen
The Houthi movement is the result of honoring the ‘Third Universal Theory’ of Mu’ammar al-Qathafi, and Saudi Arabia’s policies in Yemen and its support for authoritarian rule. In this regard, the Houthi are a reaction to Saudi brutality and the House of Saud’s support for Yemeni authoritarianism. They emerged as part of a rebellion that was led by Hussein Badreddin Al-Houthi in 2004 against the puppet-Yemenite government.
The Yemeni and Saudi regimes falsely claimed that the Houthi wanted to establish a Zaidi imamate in Arabia as a means of demonizing the movement. This, however, failed to stop them from getting stronger. The Yemeni military could not handle them in 2009, which resulted in a Saudi intervention, called Operation Scorched Earth, being launched on 11 August 2009.
Saudi Arabia failed to defeat the Houthi when it sent its military into Yemen to fight them in 2009 and 2010. It has failed to force Yemen and the Houthi movement to kneel in obedience. When it demanded that the Houthis and Yemeni transitional government play to the Saudi tune and go to Riyadh for negotiations, it was flatly rejected by the Houthis and Yemen’s Revolutionary Committees, because the negotiations and any Saudi-supported power sharing scheme would really sideline the Houthis and other political forces in Yemen. This is why the Popular Forces Union, Al-Hadi’s own General People’s Congress, and the Baath Party of Yemen have all supported the Houthi position against Saudi Arabia.
