The Emirates avoid much of the criticism that Saudi Arabia attracts. But their influence in the region is just as significant – and perhaps even more pernicious Read @ionacraig’s #SlowView: torto.se/2LCK7BD

A reflection on why data like this matters. Meet the children who survived US - Obama & Trump - attacks in Yemen. Sumayah, 8 yrs-old when we met, the only surviving member of her family. A 2009 US cluster bomb killed her parents, 2 sisters and 1 brother when she was 9 months-old.

@JorgenBakken @BTGrotte Takk for at du melder frå! Til radio brukar me av og til lyd som me tek rett frå noko frå TV. Ikkje optimalt, men dessverre ikkje til å unngå. Reine intervju til dømes. Men kan/bør me gjere noko med den lyden før me sender det på radio? Dette burde eg jo vite sjølv 😞

First recorded Covid19 case comes just as @WFPYemen says it will halve aid to some Houthi-controlled areas due to a funding crisis. Some donors have stopped aid over Houthi obstructions - the US being one of them. WFP feeds 12 million Yemenis 80% are in Houthis territory.

Yemen records its first official case of coronavirus. An inevitable yet deeply worrying milestone.

THREAD ON OMANI SUCCESSION. Sultan Qaboos appointed a Prime Minister in 1970-71 (his uncle, Tariq bin Taimur) and married (briefly) in 1976 but did not have issue. It is the sons of Tariq bin Taimur who are often spoken of as possible successors to Sultan Qaboos.

People in Sana’a and other cities are dying because of the Virus H1N1 and another unknown Virus/pathogenic organism. 2 Doctors told me that they have witnessed dozens of death cases in a few days. Many hospitals are refusing to receive patients. An action should be done. #Yemen

Thread on what happened today: Today at 1:30 pm nine plainclothes security forces entered the Mada Masr office by force. They immediately began confiscating everybody’s laptops and phones. When asked who they were, they aggressively refused to answer.

Perceiving Yemen allows international policy makers to get an idea about how their countries are perceived in Yemen: such as USA, KSA and EU. Are you curious to see how young Yemenis view you? @OSE_Yemen @HMAMichaelAron @USAID @StateDept @EUinYemen

While the Houthis are happy to take credit for attacks on Saudi, there is also this... and only days will tell. These attacks seem too sophisticated for the Houthis.

@JasonMBrodsky Drone attack on Saudi Aramco facility 300m from Iraq & 540m from Yemen. Armed-drone 600m max range - tactic is to use drone 2/3 max range for higher probability of success. Not the first time Houthis have taken credit for launch from Iraq to mask new IRGC front against KSA.

We asked 4000 people across Yemen, and those in areas held by Ansarallah are more pessimistic than those elsewhere. In fact, approx 75 percent (as opposed to 25%) living under Ansarallah say their situation is bad.

The situation for the people in #Hudaydah is harrowing... Fighting in residential areas on a daily basis, it has left thousands homeless, food is unaffordable, the heat is unbearable and to top it all off.. this from earlier today.. a sandstorm! #Yemen

After 72 hours of fighting, the situation for people in Aden is desperate. Clinics report scores dead. Hundreds injured. Hospitals struggling without basic equipment. Wounded people dying as checkpoints prevent them reaching clinics. We are on the ground in Yemen. #thread
