@evan I dislike “resilience” - this is a kind of victory, because the Moroccan govt. has just recognized the holiday & began to allow teaching of the Amazigh language. Maybe #DeepCulture ?

Lots of buzz about #Yemen - many summaries from @BashaReport

@benlaghbar: A key meeting on #Yemen is set for tomorrow in #Riyadh, with reports of a secret Houthi presence. Talks may finalize a roadmap for gradual power transfer to Houthis, including unifying the Central Bank to legitimize their control in exchange for resuming oil exports. @yemen

Combate: Yemen leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi:

"While the Israelis commit genocide, we hear nothing about religious responsibility... They speak at length about jihad, martyrdom, war chants of Allahu Akbar and sectarian slogans, but only when it serves the American-Israeli plan." @yemen @syria

Hassan Hassan:

@syria The mechanism's goal: Prevent Iranian or Hezbollah weapon transfers & military build-ups while allowing Syrian army to address its "needs".

This changed after Assad’s regime collapse, when Israel launched a campaign to wipe out all Syrian army sites & weapons in the past 48hrs.
