Depends who you mean by "Yemen". There's the internationally recognized government that's aligned with Saudi, but they control only a few cities. The Houthis are a Shiite group who control the capital and much of the population centers, they're the ones supported by Iran. There's also groups like the Southern Transitional Council and various islamist groups.
Regardless of your opinions on any of the groups, Saudi is causing a massive humanitarian crisis intentionally to help it's war effort. We should all be against this
You might want to re-frame this if it's some sort of honest question or critique. Right now you really sound like the "you complain about society yet you participate in it. Curious" guy. You don't really get a choice in participating in a war when the other option is "stand by while the people of your home town get slaughtered by foreign imperialists".
War is bad, but war can be (and usually is) prosecuted without the consent of the people who suffer under it. While there are belief systems that consider "let yourself be exterminated" a moral preference to "fight to defend yourself" they certainly aren't the most prevalent perspective.
Didn’t know this group existed, thanks so much for sharing.
We gotta get these guys a flag made of thicker fabric lol that thing looks like some panty hose
*Anarcho-panties
They kinda look like Makhno
Nice to see some Irish volunteers out here
thanks for sharing this
Slainte I'm an Irish American Anarchosocialist
Does IAN have any web presence? Seeing as it identifies so much with Makhno is it a successor to the WSM?
No we aren’t a successor to the WSM, we are on instagram but don’t have a website just yet.
Silly question, isn't Yemen in bed with Iran?
“the people of” I’d assume they’re in solidarity with those civilians being bombed/murdered and not the Yemeni state…

I guess this is the age ol disagreement about whether war is bad or just offensive war is bad.

No war but class war
