The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals.
Jesus, I didn’t think there was any country still doing crucifixions, especially for something so trivial. What the fuck.
The Houthis will never have a country.
Blowfish must be happy to not be part of that operation anymore
Animals
Don’t insults animals. My cat is an animal and she haven’t stone anyone (at least not publicly). Animals doesn’t hate gay people. Animals doesn’t kill gay people. Infact a lot of animals are known to have same-sex relationship (ie dolphins).
Who?
Houthis. Far right religious authoritarians.
They are terminally insecure in their collective sexuality as a nation or something.
This isn’t mainstream because it doesn’t involve jews. After decades of despising Arabs and Muslims, the west is now on its high horse and won’t print any news that makes the Arab world look bad.
I don’t really think that’s the issue. “Things are still shitty in Yemen” peaks as much of an interest in the western market as the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, or the effects of the civil war of South Sudan.
There’s only so much that people can care about at once, and the three that people in the west seem to care most about are Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, and China (just in general) because there is some name recognition.
Ukraine is right around the corner, of course I’m concerned about that. It’s not like I couldn’t remember how things were back in the cold war. Some things have a bigger impact and I’ll need to prioritize what to give my ducks for.
That doesn’t mean this isn’t horrible.
Also, us here in the US have enough to worry about within our own country, considering the current state of things.
Your western country’s media did not tell you about the Huthi attacks on ships close to Yemen??
The US should really cut the weapons supply to the Houthis to discipline them.
