Biden Revokes Terrorist Designation for Yemen's Houthis to Help Ease Dire Famine
NewsSmacks ^ | February 5, 2021

President Joe Biden's administration is moving to revoke the designation of Yemen's Houthis as a terrorist group, citing the need to mitigate one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.

President Donald Trump's administration had branded the Iranian-backed Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization, a move that limited the provision of aid to the beleaguered Yemeni people, who have suffered under a yearslong civil war and famine.

A senior State Department official confirmed the move Friday after members of Congress were notified of the administration’s plans. The official, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the removal changed nothing about the Biden administration's views of the Houthis, who have targeted civilians and kidnapped Americans.

Fix the government and the famine will resolve by itself.

Democrats cosying up to terrorists is normal.

What’s NOT normal is the MEDIA not calling it what it is.

Houthis’ slogan is literally “God is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam”

They were insurgents against the US/Saudi Arabia backed government and recruit by propaganda of a US-Israeli conspiracy.

No reason at all for Trump to brand them terrorists. /s Consider the context of removing the designation for Houthis in light of the rhetoric and charges leveled against Trump over Jan 6th.

One more fact to consider when asking who was for Americans and who is for themselves.

Ease dire famine.......Hmmmmm, where have we heard something like this before?

Gothic Serpent......October 3, 1993

Of the many amazing things President Donald J Trump did, one was showing the country and the world that the US doesn’t need to get involved in other peoples business, especially if it has the potential to cost American lives. Let them solve their own problems. Better yet, let the UN or that African Standby Force do it.

Not surprising. Trump claimed he was modernizing our nukes.

Soleimani Was a supporter of the Houthi and the UN found North Korea was aiding them a couple years ago. Likely the suffering people will not get the aid, it’ll all be intercepted by radicals or left to rot as happens in these situations. The US will get blamed, further demonized, not rewarded for attempting to assist. It will be turned into a propaganda campaign.

Peaceful, patriotic Americans demonstrating for free and fair elections, and accountability are labeled as insurrectionists, terrorists and insurgents.

For heaven's sake, we can't have the Trump policy continue. If it means wrecking the peace achieved between some of the Arab states and Israel the filthy Jews, then wreck we will! A few dead Arabs and some dead Jews (preferably lots of them) are a very acceptable price to return the middle east to the well understood "kinetic" environment we had prior to the disastrous Trump policies!

Didn’t take them long to start helping the terrorists and disarming our allies, did it? This admin is just as pro Muslim and pro terrorist as Obama ever was.

Maybe the Saudis can persuade Israel to nuke them.

None of those countries are worth anything. We should not be supporting Saudi Arabia, either. Let them all kill each other. The US should have no part of it. The only way they hurt us is when we let them come here.

Yep, like these:

Biden vowed to defeat domestic terrorism. The how is the hard part. The White House plans to make the fight against homegrown extremism a priority.
