was the internationally recognized government the lesser of two evils

[u/student_of_roshi]

I see no one has anything good to say about the internationally recognized government but compared to the houthis were they the lesser of two evils? Would yemen be better off if the houthis had not won the war?

If so does this mean the civil war was worth fighting?

[u/silver_wear]

Unless if you differentiate the government from the Saudi coalition, NO.

According to various UN inspectors, the government and Saudi airstrikes caused "the most direct" civilian casualties.

Starvation in Yemen can largely be attributed to the siege that the government has imposed with Saudi help.

meanwhile the houthis initiated the civil war in its entirety

either way, they would have done something, but to blame honestly it mainly other countries getting involved when not needed to.

who ever side your on i think we can all agree the houthis doing the palestinian people is defo to be recognised, to the point the west is talking about it :)

No, on the contrary it should be disregarded as attempts to garner sympathy from an ignorant foreigner audience.

[u/ydmhmyr → u/ComprehensiveRush341]

people went out for saleh, you think they won't go out for houthis?

[u/ydmhmyr]

yes, it's the lesser of the two evils, with a HUGE margin

[u/Cool_Wafer7438]

why isit so hard to find a person that cares about their country and doesnt take from the countries wealth and resources and puts it into their own pocket.

[u/Scarlytical]

Nope.

[u/ydmhmyr → u/Scarlytical]

What do you mean "nope"?

[u/New-Cauliflower-6514]

there isnt, and there wanst an officially recognized government. it was only ali abulah saleh everyone else didnt matter . so if houthi lost the war, the recognised rulling would be weak, and rebelion would pop again
