The frustrating thing is both Hamas and the Houtis are as powerful as they are because of the massive suppression of alternatives by the various powers at play in their respective conflicts.
Israel picked Hamas to be it's enemy. They suppressed the alternatives and funded Hamas.
In Yemen the government in the North and the Saudis are much more interested in fighting the Houtis than allowing the pro democratic forces to become ascendant.
This whole situation is the fault of US allies.
Which pro-democratic forces are those, again?
Al-Hirak is the most prominent
I like this Jacobin writeup of the recent history in Yemen if you'd like more context
You do realize that the STC is part of the Saudi-backed government at this point, right
Saudi Arabia controls SCP? We're fucked!
