Here's the breakdown in plain terms: ## Who's fighting whom Yemen has been split in two since 2014: - **The Houthis** (also called "Ansar Allah") — a Zaydi Shia rebel group from northern Yemen. They seized the capital Sanaa in 2014 and control most of the north and west. They just captured the Red Sea coastline, including the critical **Bab al-Mandeb Strait** (the chokepoint between the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, through which a huge share of global shipping passes). - **The Yemeni Government** (the "Presidential Leadership Council" or PLC), led by **Rashad al-Alimi** — the internationally recognized government, based in the south. The "general mobilization" is *him* calling on Yemenis to join his forces to fight the Houthis. He's offering amnesty to Houthi fighters who defect. ## Who's paying and backing each side | Side | Backed by | What they get | |------|-----------|---------------| | **Houthis** | **Iran** (primary), plus reported support from Russia and China | Weapons, ballistic missiles, drone technology, military training (via Hezbollah and the IRGC), **free oil shipments**, funding through exchange networks in Yemen, Turkey, and the Caribbean | | **Yemeni Government (PLC)** | **Saudi Arabia** (primary), plus the US and UK | Military funding, air support, intelligence, political recognition at the UN | So this is fundamentally an **Iran vs. Saudi Arabia proxy war**, with the US/UK on the Saudi side. The Houthis also attack Israeli and Western shipping, which ties them to the broader US-Iran conflict that started in February 2026. ## Where the Houthis came from They emerged in the 1990s in Yemen's northern Saada province, from Yemen's **Zaydi Shia minority** (a different branch of Shia Islam than Iran's Twelver Shia, but Iran still backs them ideologically). They fought six wars against Yemen's government starting in 2004, then seized Sanaa in 2014 when the government was weakened by a popular uprising. ## Why @BRICSNews posted it This is the tricky part. **BRICS** is a bloc of 11+ countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia, etc.) that positions itself as an alternative to the Western-led order. But on Yemen, **BRICS is split down the middle**: - **Iran, Russia, China** → support the Houthis - **Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt** → oppose the Houthis At the BRICS summit in New Delhi in September 2026 (held at the *exact moment* the Houthis were seizing the Red Sea coast), the final declaration **deliberately omitted any mention of Yemen, the Houthis, or the Red Sea**. The only thing they agreed on was a vague call for "maximum restraint." So when @BRICSNews posts this, it's not a unified "BRICS position" — it's likely a member state (probably Iran or Russia) using the BRICS account to frame the story in their favour: that the Yemeni government is the aggressor and the Houthis are the legitimate defenders. It's **propaganda framing**, not a consensus statement. ## In one sentence for a Canadian A Saudi-backed government in southern Yemen is calling up its citizens to fight an Iran-backed rebel group that just seized the country's Red Sea coast — and a media account associated with a bloc of countries that contains *both* sides of the conflict is posting it as if it's a unified position.

So I got blocked by someone over at Truth Social who was pushing Amazon products in health groups. First, why anyone still supports a company that refuses to crack down on both plagiarism and digital art theft, amazes me. As an author with friends in the artistic space affected by this behaviour, I left and took my books elsewhere. Second, encouraging people to buy what they can often get for free in their backyard or in wild spaces, also doesn't make sense, because free sources make health and wellness more affordable. It's called foraging. A recent push for a herbal supplement was for spurilina. The big claim to fame here is the chlorophyll. Dr Mercola, in a 2017 article shared a substitute that only requires gloves and maybe snips to get - stinging nettle: "Nettles Compared to 'Superfood' Spirulina Although spirulina technically does grow in 'the States,' it's only one — Hawaii, as well as other exotic areas of the world, so it's understandable that many think of it as not exactly around the corner. But first of all, what is it? If you've heard of blue-green algae, you're halfway there. Spirulina's deep blue-green color reveals its active ingredient — chlorophyll — clearly. Health . com explains it as one of the oldest life forms on Earth and possibly consumed in Aztec and African diets centuries ago. Today it's touted for its ability to strengthen the immune system, reduce fatigue and combat allergies. Nettles are another plant with chlorophyll that even rivals the amount found in spirulina, but they're often found in ditch banks, forests and riverbanks. "Taken over time, nettle will strengthen your circulatory, immune, and endocrine systems to promote peak function. The stronger these systems, the better position our bodies are in to deal with whatever might come our way." Cooked or dried, though, this pesky stinging problem goes away completely; good thing, too, because this free foraging food is highly nutritious, containing fiber, lecithin, chlorophyll, sodium, iron, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium and vitamins A and C, according to Mother Earth News. It's been used in birth rooms and battlefields to stop bleeding, both internally and externally, and is considered to purify blood, as well. As a tea: "It has been found to help cure mucus congestion, skin irritations, water retention and diarrhea … stimulate the digestive glands of the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and gall bladder. Applied externally, nettle tea … relieves rheumatism in both people and animals, makes a first-class gargle for mouth and throat infections, helps to clear up acne and eczema and promotes the healing of burns." My daughter and I began foraging over 10yrs ago, and we will either take the top 8 inches or so, or if the plant insists, the whole thing. We learned how to use gloved/sleeved hands to snap off what we want. The seeds are useful in cooking and tea as a fennel replacement. So we dry both mature and young leaves at all stages of growth.

Carney urges carbon-neutral AI data centres, praises EU carbon pricing at G20 summit! Prime Minister Mark Carney used his platform at the G20 summit in South Africa to urge world leaders to require artificial intelligence data centres to operate as carbon-neutral, in part through the use of carbon credits. Speaking at a working session in Johannesburg, Carney called for the development of standardized, high-integrity carbon markets that would redirect capital flows to regions most impacted by climate change. He said AI infrastructure, given its rapidly expanding energy demands, should be required to account for its environmental footprint. 🇨🇦 #MarkCarneyCantBeTrusted 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #SayingTheQuietPartOutLoud 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #JustSayNoMore 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #CarneyLies 🇨🇦 https://truenorthwire.com/2025/11/carney-urges-carbon-neutral-ai-data-centres-praises-eu-carbon-pricing-at-g20-summit

Carney declares end to Canada's 'feminist foreign policy,' breaking from Trudeau era doctrine! Canada no longer considers its approach to global engagement a “feminist foreign policy,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday, marking a clear departure from the doctrine championed by Justin Trudeau and his former Liberal government. During a press conference at the G-20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Carney was asked whether Canada still applies a feminist lens while forging economic ties with countries that restrict the rights of women and LGBTQ people. “We have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy. Those are different points, but related,” he said while also affirming that gender equality remains a priority for Canada in its efforts to diversify internationally. 🇨🇦 #MarkCarneyCantBeTrusted 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #SayingTheQuietPartOutLoud 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #JustSayNoMore 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #CarneyLies 🇨🇦 https://ca.news.yahoo.com/carney-declares-end-canadas-feminist-175316793.html
