Yemen: genesis of a "forgotten" imperialist war
by Alberto Ferretti
Western media speak of "forgotten war" when they deign to pay attention to the situation in Yemen where by now, according to the Global Humanitarian Overview 2021 , published by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs , on 30 million inhabitants, 25 million live in need and 3.5 million are displaced by a conflict that has so far caused the death of 233,000 people, of which 131,000 due to indirect causes such as lack of food, health services and infrastructure. In short, as NGOs, the UN and the bourgeois press do not fail to affirm, we are facing the "worst humanitarian catastrophe of the 21st century".
Catastrophe , as if it were a natural event, forgottenby journalists who are certainly too busy denouncing the threats to the free world of China, Russia and Venezuela, but who are careful not to arouse in this case the collective indignation that they usually unleash for other issues. Consequently, something incomprehensible to the Western public is underway in Yemen: a "civil war", an ambiguous and politically oriented formula that attributes the blame only to Yemenis, excluding the role played by foreign interests; or "a war directed by the Saudis" for inscrutable reasons (when not "to counter Iran in the conflict between Shiites and Sunnis that upsets the Middle East" and other sectarian nonsense passed off as geopolitical analysis). Saudi Arabia to which our governments remain naively or treacherously, depending on the version, allies,
Ultimately, what happens in Yemen does not concern us; in fact, neither professional right-humanist politicians - those who rush to tear their clothes in Belarus - nor obviously the right-wing reactionaries mention them. Yet, we believe that this conspiracy of silence is indicative of the strategic importance of the game currently taking place in the country, which we will try to clarify in this article.
Colonialism and decolonization
The history of Yemen is that of a country placed in a strategic axis of world trade and in an area rich in natural resources, coveted by the colonial powers, between the two world wars represented by the British in the Arabian Peninsula and by the Italians in the Horn of Africa. After the Second World War the decolonization process took place on a double track: in the north of the country a monarchy reigned in search of autonomy from the commercial penetration of the new dominus in the region, the USA, which also intended to ensure that the North did not gravitate excessively in Soviet orbit. This monarchy was deposed in 1962 by a coup d'etat inspired by Arab nationalism which resulted in theArab Republic of Yemen , which was experiencing chaotic moments, between coups and a conflict in which Egypt (supporter of the Republic) and Saudi Arabia (supporter of the Monarchy) were playing their game for hegemony in the Arab world. Only the rise to power of Ali Abdullah Saleh in 1978 conferred "stability" (we will see later how), to the Republic. At the center of national politics, modernization, without much success, and attempts to insert the country's economy into the global circulation of capital, amidst pushes forward and resistance.
Meanwhile, in the South , then a British protectorate known as the Federation of Southern Arabia , a strong anti-colonial resistance was developing that certainly did not contribute to making the country more accessible to the US or tolerable in the eyes of the bulky Saudi neighbor. In the city of Aden , an important commercial port that controls access to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, social struggles took hold which in 1956 led to the creation of a trade union center, which was then the center of a political force organized in the National Liberation Front . This FLN, of marked socialist character, freed the south from the colonial yoke after four years of armed struggle, giving life, in 1967 , toPeople's Democratic Republic of Yemen, the first and only Marxist state in the Arab world.
The red flag on Aden
Since its foundation, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen followed the "classic" trajectory of 20th century socialism, receiving economic and military support from the socialist world, from the USSR to Cuba, although the country was regionally isolated (and sporadically attacked by Saudi Arabia) as the West is considered an outpost of the socialist bloc in the Arab world, and therefore a potential threat to hegemony.
However, the revolutionary regime carried out, during the 70s and 80s, important political, social and economic reforms: from universal education to free health care, formal equality for women and the struggle for tribalism. As a result, the southern Yemenis had achieved a satisfactory standard of living with a markedly reduced gap between rural and urban conditions, despite the low population density compared to the urban agglomeration of Aden and the vast geographical extent of the country. Household incomes, although modest, were sufficient to meet all basic needs.
However, a serious legitimacy crisis ran from 1986, due to the bitter internal struggles within the ruling Socialist Party and the waning of Soviet support, which led to the prevalence of a reformist faction that induced the South to open negotiations with the north for a national reunification seen as an alternative to the socialist project. The south, from a proud bastion of anti-capitalism, was preparing to become an accommodating minority shareholder in the new national project. [ii]
Unification and counter-revolution
Saleh meanwhile ruled in the north, proposing himself as the local guarantor of Western capitalism through the good offices of Saudi Arabia. The occasion of reunification with the leadership of the south in difficulty allowed him to manage the process under the sign of economic liberalization against the background of the collapse of the Soviet camp: it was configured as the possibility, for the strong part, that is, the one linked to the dynamics of capitalism globalized winner of the Cold War, to plunder the resources of the south. Thus was born in 1990 the current Republic of Yemen , with the capital Sana'a .
Unification introduced multi-partyism and bourgeois-democratic institutions: in addition to the Socialist Party and the General People's Congress(Saleh's party) other actors appeared on the political scene. But it also and above all brought about the notorious "structural adjustment" policies of the International Monetary Fund: the privatizations of public companies in the south (about forty thousand) in order to receive "development" loans, layoffs and impoverishment fueled a spiral of generalized discontent (with the rise of a separatist movement in the south, which resulted in a war in 1994 with the central government); this discontent connected with the simultaneous privatization of public education, was intercepted by the new Islamist parties financed by Saudi Arabia, and was fertile ground for the rise of Islah(which includes both the Muslim Brotherhood and the local Salafists) as the first opposition party [iii] .
Meanwhile, in the far north, on the border with Saudi Arabia, a resistance was taking shape led by a former parliamentarian, Hussein al-Houthi , spokesman for the demands of local rural communities, which have long been considered discriminated and in economic difficulties, afflicted by recent problems due to the privatization of land advocated by "structural adjustment" programs and the semi-occupation of water sources, pastures and roads by Saudi border patrols. Exasperated by Saleh's concessions to this expansionism [iv] , al-Houthi, his allies and followers took up arms, accusing Saleh of being now in fief of the Americans and Saudis, at the expense of the Yemeni people and sovereignty. He was killed by government forces in September 2004[v] during the conflict that until 2009 opposed the insurgents to the central government, but its cause had by now gained national resonance. The Houthis also proved to be effective fighters against Al Qaeda, in the meantime having settled in the country, but Saleh did not hesitate to consider them "terrorists" and "foreign agents" (of Iran, only because they belong to the Zaydite minority, a variant of Shiism present only in Yemen) and to direct the maneuvers of the self-styled "war on terror", which made US killer drones roam the skies of the country, even on Houti positions.
“Arab Spring” in Sana 'a
This decaying imperial order is shaken definitively in 2011 when it explodes in the country - where poverty now touches 35% of the inhabitants and the unemployment rate, according to estimates, varies between 20 and 40% [vi] - a vast movement of protest against corruption and the economic crisis. A revolt in the wake of the so-called "Arab Spring" which sees the initial confluence of all Yemeni political and social currents against Saleh.
Over the months and the violent clashes with the government, however, the ambiguous nature of the movement emerges, at least with respect to the structural causes that had provoked it: on the one hand it is praised by the international media that celebrate the "young revolutionaries" expression of "civil society "Fighting for" democracy "and" freedom ", presented by Western liberal propaganda as a new generation capable of ensuring a complete palingenesis of Arab societies against the" regimes "and against the traditional opponents of the" regimes "themselves: by other was firmly hegemonized by the Islamists of Islah , also in the good graces of the imperialist circles as evidenced by the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the Islamist leader Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman.
Given these premises, the possibility for the riot to be co-opted according to strategies acceptable to imperialism quickly becomes a reality: Saleh was ousted in 2012 and replaced by a transitional executive led by his deputy, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, in alliance with Islah , under the Saudi aegis. The government was anything but hostile to the policies that had prevailed up to that moment, which indeed took the liberal and conservative aspects to extremes and made the living conditions of the population further precipitate. Between austerity to repay the debt accumulated towards the IMF and creditors, proposals to sell off assetsto Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the name of a free trade agreement approved by the IMF itself and problems of regional autonomy to which Hadi responded with a federalization project that was configured as a local re-proposal of the divide and rule strategy already attempted in Iraq, Libya and Syria [vii] .
The War and the Resistance
It is in this context that in September 2014 Ansarollha (Partisans of God) - a political alliance formed by the Houti fighters and part of the regular army that approached them in an anti- Islah key - deposed the Hadi government , blocking the sale of the economic future of Yemen and its dismemberment. [viii] Having in the meantime taken over the anti-corruption slogans that animated the revolt against Saleh, Ansarollha had gained widespread support by becoming by far the country's leading political force. Strengthened by this legitimacy, they created a provisional government headed by a Revolutionary Committee (among whose leaders is Abdel al Houthi, brother of Hussein) who now controls the north where a third of the country's population lives, including the capital Sana'a.
Losing his lieutenants in Yemen in this way was logically unacceptable for imperialism. In March 2015, under the cover of a United Nations Resolution (UNSCR 2216), the US, Great Britain and Saudi Arabia are authorized (or better authorized) to intervene under the pretext of restoring the "legitimate and recognized government of Hadi". at this moment all the international media will scrupulously and disciplinedly adhere to the official war propaganda: this is a "military operation led by Saudi Arabia" against "the Houthi coup rebels maneuvered by Iran".
Yet on closer inspection, the only "maneuvers" here are Obama's USA, which immediately supports the Gulf Cooperation Council - an organization that includes all the reactionary regimes in the region such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. - offering more than just "support", but weapons (and Italy contributes to this by sending bombs produced by a German plant from Sardinia), intelligence for the identification of targets, refueling of warplanes, political and diplomatic cover in each location. It is clear to anyone that the Saudi Air Force could not have operated at all if the West had decided to cease its "involvement", or had opposed the intervention.
On the contrary, the West will escalate the war, with Trump also sending special forces on the ground to the Saudi-Yemeni border, while the coalition mercilessly bombs bridges, roads, ports, food processing plants, farmland, grocery stores. , markets and water wells. The result was a famine with few exceptions censored by the media, and the largest cholera epidemic ever recorded in history, with over 85,000 children under five dying of malnutrition and disease without access to food, medicine and water due to the blockade. naval and land imposed by the coalition. A chain of pure terror, a controlled demolition and a final solution imposed on the country, all to prevent it from leaving the imperialist orbit and autonomously exploiting its resources [ix] .
To the waged war is added the media war against the forces of the resistance painted in a caricatural and manipulative way as religious sectaries linked to Iran, when in reality it is an anti-imperialist movement of national liberation, led by those who do not accept that the fate of the country is managed by Ryad in continuation of the policies that have brought misery for the people and enrichment of a small circle of imperial proconsul [x] . This is enough in this part of western Asia to be put on the index by the imperialist West as evidenced by Pompeo's intention to include the Houthis in the list of sponsorsterrorism (a genocidal move condemned by all humanitarian organizations as the Ansarollha movement coordinates humanitarian aid in the north and center of the country on which the Yemeni population depends. [xi] )
In Yemen, therefore, a collective crime of imperialism against humanity is underway, those responsible are the same for the demolition of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, the occupation of Palestine , the destabilization of Lebanon. The task of the Communists is to become aware of this and to alert not so much to the generic atrocities of war which, in the absence of a careful political analysis, are best attributed "to both sides" (when not directly attributed to the resistance), but to the anti-imperialist nature of the clash in progress. The Resistance to imperialist violence that sees the US at the head of aggression against the country in the broader context of subjugation of an entire region, must be supported without hesitation as national redemption movements to be evaluated from the general point of view of the global struggle against imperialism. and the effects they produce on the enemy field; his every defeat is a victory of the oppressed on a planetary scale, be they the western workers and the oppressed peoples in the global South, who, conscious or not,
