In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation, Rob and Ruairi delve into the recent missile attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea and how they could be disastrous for Yemen. The Houthis, the de facto government of Yemen, have been attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea, prompting international shipping companies to reroute their vessels to avoid the risk of being struck. The US has deployed a task force to defend vessels and protect shipping through the Red Sea, through which cargo vessels have to pass to reach the vital Suez Canal. The US, UK and other allied ships will seek to shoot down missiles and drones fired at commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The Bab el-Mandeb strait between Djibouti and Yemen where the Houthis have been attacking vessels is a crucial link between Europe and Asia. This solidarity with Palestine may be admirable, but it could cause disaster for one of the poorest countries on Earth.
