War Against Yemen Endangers Saudi Crown Prince’s Position
In the 1930s, during the formation of Saudi Arabia, three provinces were taken from Yemen. The Yemeni have always wanted them back. They are now in a position where they may eventually achieve that aim.

The western parts of Yemen are unlike the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The area is mountainous and gets a decent amount of precipitation. Some 80% of the 33 million Yemeni live in there. Agricultural production in the mountains is however difficult and Yemen has long been dependent on trade to acquire enough food to keep its people alive.
In recent decades the Saudis had sent Wahhabi preacher into Yemen. This led to conflicts with the Zaidi Shia natives and in 2014 resulted in a revolution against the government of Ali Abdullah Saleh which had allowed the Saudis to gain an ideological foothold. The Houthi, a family clan or tribe of Zaidi Shia with a long tradition, allied with other clans and managed to overthrow the government in Sanaa.

I am in Japan attending the conference in Kyoto to which I have been generously invited by the conference organiser, my good friend Pascal Lottaz.

Unfortunately that means that I cannot do a Live Stream tomorrow, or probably this week.

My big apologies to everyone.

I return to London on Monday and will not be travelling anywhere for the rest of the year. So I will be able to host our Live Stream next week - and all our Live Streams until the end of the year - as normal.

In passing, I have also obtained many interesting impressions of Japan, this fascinating and beautiful country, which I look forward to sharing with the Community on my return.
