love your video
Talk about biafra
please tell us about Ethiopian civil war. much love for your channel from Ethiopia
please do another one on Sudan, the UAE is becoming an agent of death in Africa
Qatar had left the Saudi coalition in 2017 when Saudi and allies had imposed a naval blockage on Qatar.
Editing feels much more focused like the older vids. Very nice!
exactly what I was thinking
clearly not just editing but update of recent situations
This must have disappointed people who liked watching fast cuts of a hipster using highlighters on printed paper, scrolling through news articles with a constant frown, pacing around in his messy house, and using incredibly condescending language
Yes
I agree. I love this guys videos, but I kinda hate when he integrates clips of himself in it. I feel like when he does that it takes away from the topic and distracts the viewer. This video was great.
Finally Yemen, nobody talks about what is happening there!
And if people do talk, what will happen? 🤡
Is it sadly true, my friend...
I don't know about you but the media that I see for the last 7 years did shut up about yemen
@@abbasshachem3383 yes, I did mean the same thing.
No one talks about Venezuela too.. Anyway, very sad places in our world...
As a Yemeni, I gotta say that this is one the best narrations of events of the war in Yemen.
Thanks Johnny for making this video to inform people around the world about what is going on in my home.
bro are you okay? are you still in Yemen or out?
I disagree! Lots of misinformation.
@samadam7553 Comments like this are unhelpful. If you think there's misinformation then point it out for the rest of us...
@@samadam7553 Yes there is misinformation and a lot of naïve takes. But mostly correct.
Thankyou for your incredibly well thought out and productive contribution to this conversation, @@samadam7553
You forgot to mention that +300k got killed since the beginning of the conflict.
I will call Al Jazeera to make this stuff more known
Man, as a Yemeni I have been waiting too long for this, happy to see someone explaining what's going on in here, it's complicated to understand even for Yemenies ourselves
Sorry for what is happening to your country, mine've been through similar..
Would you say this is all as presented in the video, is it true?
@@dredeth It's getting rolled over by Saudi and Iranian influence. Particularly by Saudi
@@dredethit is indeed factual, but as long as you talk about Yemen's conflict everyone will have bias, even Yemenis themselves lol
@@dredeth You do notice Johnny does occasionally place his liberal world view into his critiques of certain groups and situations, but that's unlikely to be helped
@@darwinsdiabolics yeah, that is why I keep my skepticism on everything I hear on internet.
I'm also aware of his subtle psychological games when he talks, implanting tiny seeds into more gullible people's brains. Like stating some allegations as proven facts. People fall for that, especially those who come for a confirmation of their previously established beliefs.
Im really glad the editing of this video was done in the old style. It's more respectful and doesnt distract from the actual topic. The gravity of these conflicts does not mix well with fast cuts and interlaced clips of you doing the actual research. Thank you!
No one really cares because no jews are involved.
The antisemits don't protest the millions dead in Yemen, but why? Iran does fund those protests
Yesss - less casey neistat style ;)
I like those style videos too though. Just differs based on the topic imo.
+1 on this, this is the best Yemen explainer I've seen. I'm very happy it was done at a nice slow pace with graphics, it really gives your brain time to absorb the complexity.
Thank you johnny, i have been waiting for years for this episode.
Thanks from Yemen.
How are things in Yemen now? Are you guys safe?
Gorgeous presentation with beautiful storytelling. The map and other indicators (connecting lines, dots and legends) provide so much context to the whole conflict.
I absolutely love watching your videos as I am very much interested in geo-political issues and I can say nobody explains such issues better than you. Your honest, objective and truthful journalistic approach helps to view the story from all sides without any confirmation bias. I really appreciate this.
Please keep up the good and productive work.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 !
I'm yemeni and I'm amazed by how accurate your information is , regarding our conflict 👍🏻
I am Yemeni and I don't agree
@@web30web
بأيش تختلف معه ؟
@@web30web im interested to know which parts r false???
@@trapster1483 I will give you one hint, the rest you should be able to find if you only use common sense.
As we know, confirmed by H-illary and W-leaks those 2 T groups (shown in the video) are funded, trained and armed by U$RAEL and used to create chaos in the region. He says U$ troops in Saudi was fighting those 2 groups (also in Yemen) it's only one from many other false or incomplete statements in the video.
Now start doing your own re-search and don't expect others to provide it.
@@trapster1483 he omitted many reasons for the conflict including the Saudis early on with their anti shia stance building sunni mosques in areas where there were no sunnis and paying tribes to change their sect to align with the saudis's wahabism. It's also omitted that the saudi proposal to replace the president saleh by his corrupt vice president was a saudi attempt to thwart the 2011 "revolution". the guy was supposed to be an intermittent president for 2 years in which there was a national dialogue to establish the new constitution etc, and the saudis helped prolong his reign for another year in which gas prices were raised and that was one of the drives for the houthi takeover. it's also been omitted that while the saudi war against yemen started in 2015, their puppet president of yemen has been living in saudi arabia only appearing to read whatever the saudis agree or promote him to say and using him to legitimise their war against yemen. there's so much more omissions that his feels like it was also sponsored by the gulf stats including the saudis.
I'm from Yemen originally. I just want a united democratic Yemen, that allows everybody to live in peace. Peace, Love and prosperity.
Same here in somalia 😢
A democratic Yemen would probably vote Islamist like you saw in Gaza.
You don't just need a democratic system, you also need democratic voters.
The Houthi will coerce and bully the people to vote for them anyway so why bother with democracy?
@@fwagenknecht yeah like some people vote aparthie d state
@@fwagenknecht so basically, voters are only democratic when they vote according to a western worldview, aight
Thank you for explaining all this. Being informed helps to make a difference.
As a Yemeni, I will say this even if it goes against your narrative. Every country has the right to get rid of foreign powers from controlling their land.
We don’t hate anyone even Americans, but we hate their government politics in the world from Haiti to Palestine to Congo.
Great video Johnny, the crisis in Yemen does not get much media coverage in recent times and it's nice to see you making a video to remind and educate people on this subject
Because its largely ended. Houthis won and have consolidated power
Not sure what we came away from it with though...
There's no obvious solution. At most, this can be left alone and it may eventually stabilize.
Although, the Houthis still being controlled by Iran kinda makes this situation a problem - where you almost can't just let them have peace.
We need more civilian populations to be empowered to revolt against their oppressors.
Because it’s too complex for mainstream media.
it is because the Western media are in bed with saudis and US who are directly involved in the conflict. saudi money and US influence over Western media supress media coverage. think about it
@@Leto2ndAtreides i mean the houthis were the ones who revolted against an oppressive, corrupt "democracy"
here from Yemen, thank you for making this video ❤️
Mind Begs the Question:
- USA Govt installed Shah on Iran
- USA/West don't install Dictators
- On Other/Islamic Nations
- To Control them by Proxy?
As a person living in Yemen, what's your opinion on all that's going on?
Whome do you support your current government or Houthi? And what's the current status nowadays?
@@Ferelmakina i don’t live there anymore i traveled back in 2021 as there is no good in building a life and a future there.
by my opinion is that all the parts involved in this are just viscous, greedy people who are only looking to get in power without thinking of what happens to the Yemeni people.
even the Yemeni gov, everyone just wants their piece of the cake.
@@akashchhetri007 i support neither, they are both fucking corrupt to the bones, and what they say they are doing is completely the opposite of what they are actually doing. whoever takes the power will just steel as much money as they can without actually doing anything to improve the situation, stop the war, or fix the country’s economy.
so, neither.
Oh yeman is a good people 😢 and beautiful🇸🇴❤️ 🇾🇪
Thank you very much for informing us on what is going on, you’re in my top three youtube channels to watch on youtube, i stop whatever im doing and begin your latest video every time its uploaded.
This is a incredibly captivating video as always
That’s what I’m talking about.
This is one of those good old Johnny Harris geopolitical vids.
Please do more of these.
Yeah this was disappointing actually- his sources include the NYTimes and mainstream outlets. Key elements missing, like 85000 Yemeni children under the age of 5 starved to death by Saudi Arabia while the US didn’t lift a finger.
always excited when I see Johnny posts again
True~
I just can’t wait to comment on his “Putin will loose” video.
THANK YOU for including a year-by-year timeline on top, I've been wanting this to become a thing for a long time now. Very helpful.
Another great video, love the outstanding level of detail. Thank you for your time!
I had my first model united nations back when i was 12, and i remember getting Yemen for my delegacy. I was a kid, and researching for the event, i made a 30-40 page doc, encapsulating the complete takover of the houthis in the region, the refugwe crisis with saudi arabia not accepting yemenese refugees, and it being another Syria like situation. It was my first such experience with international affairs and i was left astounded as to how a country suffering through so much, can have negligible media presence given their plight. I felt weird how something so big was happening and no one genuinely gave a damn, and i wouldn't have known this either, if i hadnt specifically gone looking for it. I have had a few experience with these model united nations, later preferring to chose less promiment countries, simply so i could know the world outside the far west, and far east. many years later, nothing has changed, and i hope this channel can also increase the searching aptitude of the new generation, and informing them about the world's ignored places
The problem is incentive. I have to build motivation to search for information on these horrific wars. When news media is bogged down with random cultural disagreements, I lose motivation. So I end up losing sight of the more important things
such the same way i found out about Palestine, the situation wasn't that popular in India and there wasn't much awareness
@lovxshua I remember writing about Palestine when Obama was President and it wasn’t a popular thing to do. Everyone thought I was being a “keyboard warrior,” but I was just another American not wanting to buy into believing our government was so peaceful because Obama was President. Even Obama kept close alliance with Netanyahu.
@@basicallyno1722 not only Obama but all us presidents, there will be no president of us that would support Palestine, never. its because they two are super connected, even if the people if us disagree, the government wont. even if we see disagreement between us and isreal, we know its fake, temporary, or ridiculous.
Well? How'd you do? I imagine your teachers were pretty blown away by a 12 year old writing and dissecting 30-40 pages of dense political intricacies that even adults struggle to fully understand!
Lots of appreciation for Such a clear Craytal explanation of this complex and painful situation in Yemen.
Thank you for educating us
This was fantastic. Love how you stayed on the map for basically the entire video - helped me to keep up with what's happening. Thanks
I remember joining the US Army after september 11. Deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq multiple times, thinking I was defending my country, my people, our freedom. I lost so much. My country gained nothing from the war. RIP to my Brothers who lost it all, including themselves.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
At least now you've realized that you and your people fought for elites ....
You're not defending murica in middle east
You only lost because the government allowed these anti western ideologies to just cross into the usa anyway you're lucky it's a minority for now
"Gain nothing" we got alot of resources like opium
Raytheon, Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Carlyle Group..That's who you were fighting for.
All Wars are Banker Wars.
This was very informative and extremely well presented. Thank you very much for the excellent job you did here.
Fantastic video as always, Johnny. I think I speak for many of us that we’d love you to work on a video about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (and the events that have followed since) of 2020. Really surprised you haven’t! Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate having sources linked!! So important for trusted journalism
definitely, that fact alone made give a like to the video
100% Fax. It’s not as easy to keep track of sources of course, but it allows everybody to come to their own conclusions other than just parroting the opinions of others cuz they don’t know where to find the info!!!
You can tell the importance we all put on John's videos when he gets 2k views in just 6mins. His videos are so engaging and valuable.
He makes me feel like I can understand the significance of these topics
yes its true
also a vid tweak of name change and thumbnail within first hours, gotta feed the algorithm too and be sure the visibility is threre... its changed while i waited to watch it in my queue. The staff are ever vigilant
Johnny I appreciate your artistic ability to tell stories through maps and the different ways you express plot and timeline.
Comments such as "I like this video because it's like the old ones" stifle growth and innovation.
Thanks for pushing boundaries with information and visual mediums.
10:18 What a plot twist 😂
It’s not funny
Stellar video. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite history/geo/journalism channels on here. Very important and widely unrecognized information portrayed with taste and great editing. Well done 👏
good job, Johnny. interesting and extremely informative
May Yemen have eternal peace. Yemenis are really courageous and kind people. May Allah'Tala bless Yemen! Love from 🇳🇵🇾🇪
Your Allah belief is the one that causes all these problems in the middle east.
There is always so much happening in the world we just dont know about it.
So often Yemen in news but without any context. Enlightening!
Remember context can be biased too.
20:10 Here for example he implies global economy is at risk, and fails to mention that all targets are ships getting cargo to Israel, no chinese russian or any other neutral country is attacked.
It is clearly declared by Anshrala (houtis for western media) that this is a blockad in protest against WC in Gaza
This is not a thread to global economy. They document all their targets and have video proof. too.
The US UK and co are super quick to fight against a war torn poorest country in the world when they dare to interfere on commerce, but they do nothing when gaza is burning in flames because of an ally doing ethinic cleansing.
@@marcelo55869 True, but if it is at least we have something to anchor the new perspective onto! So I call that a win!
Considering which demographic/ideology runs the entirety of our Western media, it’s not surprising. It’s by design.
What context? They literally have "curse the Jews" on the flag. The Houthis are objectively evil and supported by the evil Iranian regime. US foreign policy and Israel being evil too doesn't change that fact.
This real info is soo important.. So much behind the scene we not aware of.. Thanks Johnny for deep diving for info we all deserve to hear..
Finally, an elaborate video on Yemen. Thank you
I’ve been following Johnny since his time at Vox. He’s a great storyteller and love the way he uses maps. He puts so much time in his research and makes sure he’s got the correct information.
He lies all the time....only people who have no prior knowledge enjoy this propaganda.
INCREDIBLE video! Thanks for sharing such amazing and high-quality content!
It is very sad the fact there are some wars "more important" than others, and nobody talk about the Yemen Civil War, or the forgotten Siryan.
They strategically forgotten so can people look away and the same big ones profit from it
not to be that guy but to save you from the inevitable comments: it's Syria
? never heard of this "more important" rhetoric
@@maimee1 but it is true. There are some background wars and the media never pay attention
No one is doing that
Thank you so much for an amazing explanation on such a complicated situation.
Dude. This was so informative. Thank you for making all the senselessness make sense.
One of your most informative videos in a while, very helpful and nicely edited.
Thank you, Johnny. Quality informative video as usual 👍
This was well done. Excellent storytelling and easy to follow the complex Middle East dilemma that has been going on for as long I can remember.
This was the most informative content I have consumed about Yemen and its war. Thank you!! Truly powerful.
I like this style of your videos that just focus on the explaining/geopolitics. These are the types of videos I subscribed for. The recent ones that are more about showing the process side of searching for answers (Like your Gulnara Karimova video or the Merchants of Death editing style) are still fun but not as fun to watch for me. Thank you for producing content!
This video did an excellent job of explaining the conflict. Thank you for presenting this in an easy-to-follow format.
He conveniently leaves out how much money Obama gave to Iran which in turn is funding these terrorists
I’m from Yemen
I lived in Yemen until 2001 we never had a religious discrimination problems . For the 21 years I lived there no one asked me if I was Sunni or Shia, and also Zaidies was never the majority even before 1990.
But that was a great video
The Zaidis were the majority in their nation, Yemen use to be 2 separate nations that United as one nation. When they United the Zaidis became a minority but when they were separate and independent they were the majority
Great video, many thanks.
Thank you so much for the visual news to enlighten us on topics ignored by mainstream media ❤
The visuals are most of what he has. truth and circumstance are debatable ironies for Johhny harris.
well researched and entirely objective, im writing my thesis about this war so im very happy to see a video like this. thats the standard we expect johnny & team!
Wow thanks. Means a lot that you shared this. I’ll pass along to team.
That's false, he's taking sides and the information is biased
america isn't fighting just lsis/alqa*da, the houtis didn't attack random ships only those headed to israel, the UAE didn't support the south because of "its reputation" but to steal Socotra
an a lot more, its a biased video taking sides of the zionlsts in america and israel
@@johnnyharris Johnny, this is a truly excellent video. You *do* frequently indicate thanks to your team, but I don't recall ever seeing them credited by name. Please consider this -- they are heroes, too.

Great video Johnny this was super informative and the editing style was much better
really really really well presented. Thank you for this presentation, strip all the political rhetoric and hate speech out of it and gave us a straightforward, non bias view on what's been going on. It's a shame that mainstream news can no longer do this sort of thing.
My father was in Yemen for two years. He told me about war crimes and Houthi recruits who were 12 years old. There are many details that were left out, such as the Houthi bombing of Mecca and Jeddah.
It's johnny harris dude he can't talk bad about peacefuls only Jews
@@John-bravooo There's 6 million palestinians at risk of genocide and nobody can talk about the "slayers of prophets", because "muh antisemetism"
The Houthis did not try to bomb Mecca, Saudis shot rockets down that flew over Mecca, but Mecca was not the target. The Saudis spin that incident and you're running with it.
This video is talking facts not spreading misinformation. Go spread your misinformation in the Saudi media not here.
@@jesusnieves9221 the Houthis shouldn't shoot missiles over Mecca in the first place
Absolutely brilliant video. Very well researched, very well mapped.
He has Morocco highlighted as one of the participants in the 2011 Arab spring, in which he's completely wrong about. So not well researched I guess
Thanks for the video. Amazing job
That was incredibly well explained and directed. Thank you
Thank you for explaining this whole conflict Johnny, this is the first time i understand what happened in Yemen
bro I'm yemeni and i don't support any party and most of the information on this video about yemen is false please don't trust it search more about yemen and u will find that UK and USA is behind every thing . there is alot of false information here
Thank you, as always, for covering the important topics that so many other media sources ignore. I love understanding our entire World just a little more through your informative coverage ❤
This video is so good at everything from information to editing etc
Thank you Johny for this video. You touched the pain.

Thank you for your hard work Johnny Harris in Simplified the Yemen Houthis in TH-cam today. Very nice explanation video.
This is the second time i watch this video and by the end i almost cried again, I am yemeni myself And i realize how tough this war was since it started. 😥.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for this. Gave perspective. Much appreciated.
this channel never disappoints, very informative videos...dont stop making this kind of content so that normal people will understand what's going on around them.🇵🇭
Wow thank you
bro u shall search more i don't know about his other videos but the information on this video most of it was lie and false.
Editing back to its best, very nice
Yes. no to the Tiktok style edit , this is good
clearly not just editing but update of recent situations
Thank you for the informative video. I had no idea how complicated the conflict was, and how many factions.
Very informative. Thanks
I love the maps, always been a fan for that.
Wow saleh just manages to change team every time
He is literally the definition of spineless.
Huge fan of your work, thanks for being a true Journalist.
Great episode! From the production and editing, to the clear and neutral presentation of the unfortunate situation at hand. Really eye opening. This is definitely one of my favorite videos from your channel.
As a child I looked at the globle and thought most countries were mostly made of 1 type of group.
Now as a adult I realize most countries have a very mixed population.
You grew up in the internet age, I remember I was one of the only mixed race kids in the 90s, now everyone’s kids is mixed because people talk on the internet
@@SharmVthere is no races in the human world
You have matured way beyond so many adults today.
Well growing up in India
I believed actual opposite
And later came to realize not many countries are as diverse as mine
Despite all the differences and diversity... The truth is we are humans, and all have the same basic needs and we all just want peace... Any fighting is not helping the cause....
One earth, one humankind... Wars and borders still make no sense...
I mean in the most basic term, it makes sense because we all have our own personal space that we don't want others to invade, but at the same time, jealousy is bad, some of us let that drive the wrong goal: thou shall not steal
The world is bleeding.
Bleeding and turning, that's all it's ever done.
Always has been
Couse of usa
@@user-bv2bc6qn9dHow do you blame usa for muslim conflicts? Arabs need to give up on Islam lol
Thanks to the USA
Instantly a fan , you narrated this well, animated and put together the whole thing so well. Do you have a team or do this all yourself? I’d like to learn to do this or work with people who can edit and animate this way to explain the stories
Loved the editing. Very professional very easy to follow.
It's things like these that always get overlooked until there is a sudden flashover and everyone starts wondering why. This is so underrated.
Once again, informing the world of true history, changing opinions and opening minds. Thank you Johnny for your outstanding journalism
Thank you for breaking down and clearly explaining the complex situation in Yemen. I understand it much better now.
I am from Yemen I have been watching you videos since very long time. Finally you have talked about my country.
Love it how Iraq is portrayed as a bad guy, fighting ‘proxy war’ through others, while the US does exactly the same hing, but it is called something like, ‘Supporting strategic partners’
Except it isn't the same thing. Iran, not Iraq, was accurately described as providing weapons, training, and funding to a violent Islamic fundamentalist cult in the hopes of gaining greater influence over Yemen. The US was just selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. One is a case of imperialist interference in another country's civil war, the other is a business transaction.
Iran*
I totally agree but the only thing is, and this is just my opinion but this is all started because of some peoples very personal religious beliefs, and of course maybe it wasn’t taken into consideration some may not want to follow that certain religion. I understand islam is a totally different complicated religion but this was blown out of hand (the war.)
Exactly! The hypocrisy of the US is astounding!
Iraq is a bad guy are you trying to say Iraq is a good guy or something?
This is your best work so far Johnny, we all know you do wonders with your research, representation and narration. Keep up the good work 💯.
Thanks Johnny! For explaining this conflict.
Johnny you and your team deserve another award or something, really, amazing work consistently
One of the first thousand to watch! Feel so proud and love your videos Johnny! Always looking forward to you content! Continue the good work
This is what happens when the world is viewed as "grand chessboard" to be played with by a few instead of a place of beauty where life can thrive.
so interesting, never heard really any of these details through news/social media
Thank you for this explanation. You are truly rich in information. Your follower is from Yemen. Thank you
Oman just chilling there
Can you make one on Sudan, please.
Enjoy your content, thanks for all the hard work.
That’s pretty accurate. Spot on in storytelling such complicated set of events.
What I learned from this video is that this has nothing to do with America. It's simply people wanting to fight because of religious, ethnic, and cultural reasons.
exactly the core of this entire fight was to make an islamic country more islamic
Are you serious??? the core problem in the Middle East is the American supports of dictators with advanced weapons in exchange of American influence in the region.
More than half the weapons there are American sponsored, you have to be daft to believe that, you have no interest in this war.
No war is fought on earth except that US has a direct/indirect interest in it.
There are two main branches of Islam. The sunni Islam is practiced by countries like Saudi Arabia and most Islamic countries while the Shia Islam is practised by Iran and Iraq. Both branches are always in conflict with each other. In the case of Yemen, each branch wants dominance in the country
Bro you missed the part at the beginning when he said the group radicalised itself and adopted its slogan after the usa sent troupes to yemen.
Bring usa troupes home, wherever the f they are, the southern border needs them.
The editing in this is amazingly done, and you are a great storyteller :) New Sub to the channel. You have a great way of graphicly explaning war and battles so if you ever miss something to do, you could always explain other modern situations :D
Great journalism like always.
"While America is hesitant to get involved in another conflict in the middle east, they remember that their country is just 3 defence contractors in a trench coat and that this shit is profitable"
So true, business interests commercially benefit from warfare...😅😅
facts
There's a difference between selling weapons to Saudi Arabia and actually having to send American troops to fight directly. One is insanely profitable and has no political cost, the other is extremely politically costly. If Biden decided to send troops in person to Yemen to put down the Houthis, he would lose the election. So, the politicians in the government care nothing for Yemeni lives, but they DO care quite a lot about winning elections, and the American public would be extremely unhappy with another unprovoked venture into the mess that is the Middle East.
