From arms dealer to king of war

Taiz, an important city in western Yemen...

When the people woke up, they suddenly found that the situation had changed...

The Houthi armed forces, which were engaged in a fierce battle with the government forces, suddenly withdrew from the Taiz area and gave up the territory they had almost gained.

The war between the two sides for Taiz has been going on for nearly half a year. The Houthi armed forces and the Gulf coalition forces left thousands of corpses here. But now they suddenly stopped fighting, leaving a mess for the local people...

The city of Taiz is very strange. It is like those taverns in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign movies. No matter what kind of forces will gather here.

The Houthi armed forces, Hadi government forces, the Southern Transitional Council, Al Qaeda, as well as various militias and criminals will come here to get involved.

The situation in Yemen is so chaotic that most people cannot understand it at all...

Generally speaking, it is the Houthi armed forces and the Yemeni government forces fighting for control. In fact, there are dozens of warlord forces funded by the Shah and the UAE, as well as terrorist organizations here to stir up trouble.

The Houthis have occupied the northern highlands and the Red Sea coast, including the former capital Sala, but they are not all there.

The most critical port of Dahode is controlled by the Houthis, but most of the rural areas along the Red Sea coast are under the control of the national resistance.

They include four or five groups, mostly militias funded by the UAE that oppose the Houthis.

The government forces are even more bizarre. They are actually a coalition of warlords other than the Houthi armed forces and terrorist organizations.

Hadi’s government and the Southern Transitional Council are enemies…

The local XN tribes control the Marib and Jawf areas, the most important oil-producing areas in Yemen.

The Houthi armed forces have always been devastating against the government forces, but they have suffered a lot when facing local tribes. They have been unable to capture key resource points for several years, which has also led to their financial constraints.

The YSL Reform Party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Their tribe lives under the control of the Houthi armed forces, but the two sides go to war whenever they disagree.

The islands of Mahra and Socotra in the east were also divided. The Shah established military influence in Mahra, which made Oman next door very unhappy.

The UAE simply wants to swallow up Socotra Island to establish a maritime military base, form a military influence from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Aden, and protect the interests of its core trading countries in the Middle East.

Where can this situation be better?

The United Nations describes the war in Yemen as "the worst humanitarian crisis in the world." There are 27 million people in Yemen, of which 20 million need international assistance to survive.

Due to the hostile relationship between the Houthis and the Shah, these aids can only be disembarked from the Dahodai pier controlled by the Houthis.

Because the northern highlands controlled by the Houthi armed forces have hit about 60% of Yemen's population, and those aids coming ashore from Aden, controlled by the government forces, cannot reach the territory of the Houthi armed forces at all, and that is also the area with the most serious humanitarian crisis.

The Houthi armed forces have not taken over the oil-producing areas, so they are very poor, so they can only use international aid as a bargaining chip to punish or reward the forces in their territory to increase their control.

Now that Boss Qiao has taken over Mukalla Terminal, and has a ready source of humanitarian supplies in his hand, the United Nations naturally hands over the aid funds to Boss Qiao...

Frankly speaking, the United Nations has done some things except that it has nothing to do when facing major powers.

In various crisis places around the world, as long as the big brothers are not responsible for the crime, they can still exercise some power to provide assistance to the local area.

Boss Qiao’s safe zone was established under this background!

The people at the United Nations did not expect that less than a week after Qian called Boss Qiao, the Houthi armed forces ceased fire...

They didn’t know how Boss Qiao did it, but it just happened!

At this time, many people began to realize how important a borderless military organization without a position is to the United Nations!

The Secretary-General of the United Nations has stopped talking, but he has not calmed down Yemen, let alone persuaded the five elder brothers to come forward to calm the situation.

As a result, it had only been more than two months since P·B entered Yemen, and the situation here began to change!

Altin, a representative of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs under the United Nations Secretariat, is a Finnish man. He is 55 years old and has worked for the United Nations for 15 years. Since the civil war in Yemen started again in 2014, he has issued an early warning to the United Nations.

Altin has been in Dahode for a long time in the past two years, trying to supervise the distribution of humanitarian supplies by the Houthis. However, no matter how he protested, the Houthis simply ignored him.

Now Arkin arrived in Taiz in a vehicle with three of his assistants and six observers with professional knowledge sent to him by the United Nations...

The bumps on the road made Arkin very tired. It wasn't until the local guy in charge of driving stepped on the brakes hard and let out a burst of exclamation that Arkin opened his eyes...

The car that Altin and the others were riding in was a Coaster. When the car suddenly stopped, everyone was awakened.

A young man with a camera rushed to the front of the vehicle, squatted next to the cab, and looked not far ahead with the camera...

On a dilapidated highway, a huge convoy that stretched for nearly 5 kilometers slowly drove towards Taiz under the escort of an armored convoy...

"what is that?"

The young man stared at the convoy in disbelief, then looked back at Altin and said, "Sir, didn't you say that the Houthi armed forces announced a ceasefire and withdrew from Taiz?"

Arkin frowned and took out his glasses and put them on his face, then squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and said in surprise: "It's P.B. They came so fast...

According to the schedule, they should arrive the day after tomorrow! "

When the young man heard this, he said excitedly: "Sir, is that the jackal here?"

Arkin shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, the report I received did not mention jackals.

They only told me that PB took over the distribution of humanitarian supplies and that they would set up a humanitarian warehouse in Taiz..."

Just as Alkin was speaking, the young man driving the car looked back at the rear of the vehicle and exclaimed again...

When everyone in the car turned to look over, they were surprised to find a large number of armed pickup trucks behind them...

"Move to the side, move to the side..."

As an old man who has been traveling in war-torn areas all year round, Altin looked back, waved decisively and shouted: "Move over and put out the United Nations flag.

Everyone, please don’t move, they are coming from the YSL Reform Party..."

When the young man heard this, he said in disbelief: "Why not from the Hadi government?"

Arkin walked to the back of the driver's seat, comforted the nervous driver, and directed him to drive the car onto the road shoulder to make way for the arrogant armed pickup trucks. He shook his head and said, "People from the Hadi government will not come here. …

Taiz is where the north and south of Yemen meet. The YSL Reform Party and the Salafi militia supported by the UAE are the main forces fighting the Houthi armed forces in Taiz. "

As he spoke, Arkin turned to look at the group of observers in the car. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't attack us..."

A middle-aged woman wearing rimless glasses nervously covered her chest and said, "Why does that jackal gather humanitarian supplies here?

I heard there are extremist groups operating around Taiz..."

Arkin watched the pickup truck convoy passing by. The militiamen carrying RPGs above just glanced at him and stopped paying attention. He let out a sigh and said, "Because this is the most important north-south intersection city in Yemen." , through which humanitarian supplies can be transported to most of the population centers in Yemen.

That Jackal is very, very powerful. He was able to persuade the five permanent members of the Security Council to support his intervention in Yemen and set up a trusteeship safe zone. I think he must have a way to control the situation in Taiz..."

The young man was obviously a fan of Boss Qiao, and he said excitedly: "Yes, for sure. The humanitarian passages and safe zones established by P.B. in Iraq and Syria have actually proved the effectiveness of this method.

I have compiled the economic data of Iraq in the past six months, and their economy has recovered very quickly.

Moreover, the situation in northeastern Syria has improved a lot because of the existence of the safe zone..."

As he spoke, the young man clenched his fists and said excitedly: "The Jackal has done a job all by himself that we have not been able to complete in the past few years!

Compared with those peacekeeping forces that work hard but don't work hard, P.B's work efficiency is obviously many times higher!

I hope the Jackal is in Taiz, I’ve always wanted to get an autograph from him..."

Arkin looked at the excited young man, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Raphael, as a Greek, you obviously have too much emotion for the jackal.

I admit that Jackal does a great job, but that's because he has a unique position and status, and most importantly, he has the ability to shut people up.

Many people in places like Libya, Iraq, and Syria regard him as a savior, but few people realize that wherever this jackal has been, many people have died, very many...

It's just that P.B's killing targets are very accurate, and they are carried out quickly and efficiently. The rapidly stabilizing social environment conceals the ferocity of P.B. Many people even ignore that they are a mercenary company.

I personally appreciate Jackal's approach, but as United Nations observers, we cannot have such thoughts.

Because once we assume a position, we are easily attacked!

We only have three people here who can shoot. For the sake of our lives, you have to act professionally..."

Young Raphael was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said: "This is why our work is inefficient..."

As he spoke, Raphael looked at the driver and said, "Baz, do you think what I said is right?"

The driver, Baz, is a local intellectual in Yemen. He hesitated and said, "I don't understand, but I think those who can end the war are good people!"

As he spoke, Baz stared forward and said: "Sir, you guys better come and take a look, someone else is here, it seems to be someone from the Houthi armed forces...

For God's sake, please don't fight here..."

Altin bent down and looked through the cab. The Houthi armed men did not see it, but they saw a Mirosh armored vehicle spray-painted with the lion emblem driving towards the pickup truck...

When this armored vehicle approached Coaster, it arrogantly turned around and stopped the YSL Reform Party's convoy, and drove parallel to Coaster...

After the car door opened, a female warrior with dreadlocks and a body like a god came out...

Ayou glanced back domineeringly, so that the horns of the pickup trucks behind did not dare to sound. Then she walked to the side of Coaster's cab with satisfaction, opened the door and stretched out the door in the horrified eyes of the driver Baz. The head came in and said, "Is Altin here?"

Seeing Arkin raise his hand with a wry smile, Ayou nodded slightly and said, "Follow me, our boss wants you..."

Arkin was surprised when he heard this and said: "The jackal has come to Taiz? Isn't he in Mukalla?"

Ayou frowned and looked at Altin and said, "If our boss doesn't come, how will you get the supplies to where they should go?"

Arkin pointed to his nose in surprise and said: "Us? Why us?"

Didn’t P·B accept the task of distributing humanitarian supplies? "

Ayou looked at Altin like a fool and said, "How can our boss have time to care about the details?

You are all here, do you still want to avoid work? "

Arkin looked at the scary-looking Ayu and said with a wry smile: "We are not from P·B..."

Ayou waved his hand impatiently and said: "Our boss is not from the United Nations, but he has done the work that you have not completed.

Hurry up and catch up. Our boss has limited time. He needs to mobilize everyone to gather the Yemeni war orphans and send them to Mukalla.

Our boss will raise those children, but you have to find a way to get more assistance from the United Nations, mainly volunteer teachers and doctors..."

Arkin stood up in surprise and said in disbelief: "Is your boss crazy?

There are more than 80,000 war orphans in Yemen..."

As he spoke, Arkin covered his racing heart and said: "This is really crazy. This is something that only God can do..."

Ayou looked at Arkin's surprised expression. She grinned and shook her head, saying: "Maybe Yemen needs crazy people like our boss...

You don't look crazy, but you haven't done anything either...

Hurry up and catch up, things here are over, our boss has other things to do..."

Arkin looked at Ayou curiously and said, "What else does the jackal want to do?"

Ayu turned around and said, “I don’t know!

I only know that our boss has been in a very bad mood these past few days!

He needs everyone to obey his instructions and work hard to complete their work, otherwise someone will be unlucky! "
