    The Houthis are still not representative of Yemen and still are not the government of Yemen. Therefore to claim that “Yemen is interdicting ships in its territorial waters” is a blatant lie. OP and those supporting him should get their facts/lies right before posting them up. Not that I disagree with the genocide portion of the OP last reply, even if it’s tangential to this topic.

      For all intents and purposes they do and they are.

        By what metric? Are Hamas representative of Gaza? Or Hezbollah of Lebanon? Some people here might consider applying for work with Israel’s government considering they parrot their rhetoric.

            That isn’t how government works and even if somehow these parties “run” the country, whatever that vague statement means, they are not the government. They have no territory and no claim to sovereignty over any of Yemen territories. So the initial claim is still false. Anyway you guys keep arguing about what feels right with vague statements and goalpost shifting. Pretending that 0.5% of Yemen is somehow running the show and speaks for all of Yemen; while also actually being its government as well. Bloody ridiculous.
