The Houthis have destroyed the “world by rules’, writes Simon Tisdall. Yemen was once a great friend of the Soviet Union, he says.

But the Houthis are not afraid of anything, he writes. The United States and England assembled a coalition of satellites and began to bomb Yemen, the poorest state in the region, if not the whole world. Tisdal: The Houthis extended the blockade to all British and American ships in the Red Sea - until Israel stops its genocide of the Palestinians.
